Good thread, I like the chart, as I've got some troubleshooting to do myself. I have a no power to HEI while cranking, but I do when not cranking. I think my ignition switch is bad.

65-70 FS polygraphite front bushings

If you own one of these, you know there is no polygraphite bushings available for the dark-siders (65-70 FS) front a-arms.
What I know: the lower A-arm has the exact same bushings as the 69 Grand...

That car looks like a good deal. I'm surprised at the number of people asking about a title. Here in Maine, you can't get a title on any car older than 1985. I have a stack of titles from western...

I put the '70 Executive discs on my 67 Catalina and it does fit nicely. I did it 7 years ago, and seem to remember changing ball joints at the same time. Not sure if I had too, but its a good idea...

I nabbed a set of rear coil springs from a 1983 buick lesabre wagon and put them in in my 67 catalina. They were a little more firm than the original rear springs, fit perfect, and were 5 bucks from...

Its not the mounts, but the location that's important. If the 455 was in an older car, there are no worries. (The 455 block has bolt holes for the old and new mount locations.)

At least in 67, and think all the way to 70, the Bonn and Cat floors are the same. The GP floors are the same until 68, then GP are no longer full size. I never had a 65 or 66, so cant say on those...

65-70 Trunk floor: 'Group Buy' interest if reproduced?

This thread is to try and show interest in getting trunk floor pans produced. I know I've never seen a trunk floor that wasn't rusty.
If they were made, I'd buy 'em. That's one.

The motor mounts are different, and mount in a slightly different location. Luckily, the 455 has bolt holes for the old style as well as the new style motor mounts.

Interestingly enough, as soon as I got done reading these responses, I went on ebay and got a 3.23 posi for $350 bucks. I guess I was whining for nothing.
