Ben Bruce aka First Born

Folks, The ad does not state so but if this is $8000 CD it is about $6000 US. Not TOO bad. Would be nice to know condition of engine. Ben

Frank, I don't know the answer to your question. BUT I sure would like to be a "fly on the wall' as you do this build. I have often thought of the same. What part of the country do you call home? Ben

Dreaming isn't he! Ben

Thank you, Bob!!! Really, I would follow the wiring , from start to finish, with a volt meter. Changing to 12V should make no difference. I probably could find the problem if I was there. As a Supervisor from the 1960's would say ," this ain't no Ouija board, guys" . Percy Shook, 1964. Ben

Same in Chrome Edit: stayed large when posted. Ben Re edit: went to small after shut down and restart. ??? Ben

I have the #for the 248/263. I THINK the 320 is different. OP has not been back Ben

Bob, when I clicked in the reply box below your post a group of letters and symbols appear at the top of the box. Last on the right is font size adjuster. Ben

Welcome!!! I am not conversant with your car, so I will not attempt answering car specific questions. However, as to wiring, I did mine. One wire at a time, sorta. The old webbed harness webbing just fell off. I pulled "one wire" at a time and labeled same. Wire was then hung on a step ladder. When replacing, the old wire was used as a pattern. I would recommend procuring the new wire from somewhere other than local parts store. Same with the ends. Pictures, please!😁 Ben

Best kind! Ben

OP has checked out, me thinks. Ben

But, but, WHERE are the old cars? Ben

He of few words! Mercy Ben

NYC Ben

This comes up often. Heck, I remember the "old" folks saying the same thing. IN THE 1950's!! Ben

Well said! Bravo. Ben

Fuse sized to wire! Ben

I know not about the 09 , or maybe 60. The 4/1 indicates gear ratio . As 4.1 to 1. Ben

Jack, I look forward to your dissertations. Would that I could express myself so well. Sure would like to be there for the FIRST DRIVE AROUND THE BLOCK!😂 Ben

Syre is. Sure is, Tom. As is the Mark IV. Ben

Dang, man! If one does not believe the manual, what does one believe? Ben

Probably can be had for 5. Daily driver cheap? Ben

"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink" comes to mind. As far as affordability, most [ all? ] of us can't justify the cost of an old car. So why not just drive a newer one and be done. Leave a little more time for watching mind numbing television? Like most things, to each his own. Cost? So far , at TODAY'S cost, mine is at about $0.04 per mile. Like Willis said, about 1.5 mpg better. Although at the time of installation, I had not driven the car enough to have a good base mpg. Maybe 3000 mi. The drive/trip to WA state this past summer netted better than 17 mpg round trip. PULLING AN 1100 LB. TEARDROP. A trip to east TX a couple months back, about 370 miles round trip, showed 19.8. WITH NARY A PROBLEM with the fuel system. Only running problem, again , self induced, was an electrical one. Fifteen years ago I MADE my own battery cables. Heavy , for the then six volt. Changed to twelve. I know, sacrilege, right? Positive corroded inside the hardware. New cable fixed. I do miss [ 😁 ] fighting the percolation. Ben

Depends on condition, cost, and shipping cost. Ben

Nick, cables and bumper components are the same I believe. Radiator will fit although thicker. I actually have one in my Special. Ben
