Recommended Posts

Does anybody have any under the hood diagrams for the 65 401 wildcat? as i've got most of the parts missing and what is missing i don't know all i've got under the hood is half a 401 nailhead pistons showing no rad, coolant bottle nothing. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> So any pic's to what the engine bay should look like would be helpful

Ty,

Just as a bit of advice, this forum is for discussing / photos of our cars. There is a BCA Post-War Technical Forum that is probably where these questions belong.

That being said, here's the underhood of a '66 Wildcat...401 4-bbl, so probably very similar.

That isn't to imply that everything is correct in that engine bay.... This is a power steering, A/C car, so there may be some variation from what you should have.

My car lacks a/c so there are a few differences but here is what it looks like.

It needs some detailing... My car is an early model and the windshield washer tank is located on the passenger side inner fender. Note that the 1965 air cleaner snorkel points on the driver side while the 1966 air cleaner snorkel points on the passenger side.

Here's a 1965 with a/c. This one has the second type windshield washer tank and the modified a/c system with a POA valve (earlier models had a STV)

Another one in sad shape with the cruise control...

Thks philippe for the pix very help, now i know what i should look like the cat that i've got is a 46237 but with a ton of extras such as listed on the wildcat options & accessories list R1,S6,S7,C6,C7,I6,K6,K7,M6 and Q4 that i can find at the moment, all most a $1000 in options so far.

Just need to get it back to the house and give it a good look over thks again for the pix.
