My understanding is that 64-67 are the same. I can't swear to that, but my son has a 65 non-A/C parts car; if you're interested, I can pull it and see what condition it's in.

Yes, that is exactly why I'm asking. I didn't realize it was supposed to be black, and now I want to paint it. I'll do semi gloss.

Thanks for the input!

I just pull the pins out to remove the door. I've never had the need to replace the welded hinges, so I can't answer that question.

As stated, the purple ones should be the starting circuit. No clutch switch until 69; the factory put a jumper on that plug for manual transmission cars.

Yeah we just changed his car from an automatic to a stick last month, and put in a new pilot bushing at that time.

We had to pull the transmission out the other day, due to the front bearing retainer breaking; I will look for the code when we put it back in.

Thanks for the offer, but we ordered a later style push rod retainer (pictured in my post above) and it works great. Now we just have to finish plumbing everything in.

That diagram shows exactly what I just pulled off my son's car. I'm trying to see what the 67 configuration looks like, although according to Ames, all manual brakes use the same rod 64-72.
