HI All, I know its a horrible thing to do but I have recently realized that I havent used/started my 65 409 in ~2 years. :doh Is there anything I really should be doing to make sure that my car doesnt fall to pieces... Any pointers would help... Thank you as always.... Ned 65Impala409

Thank you so much for all your information!!!! I hope to see what sense we can make of it within the next two weeks... Fuel is too expensive to waste now... :dunno I apoligize for not getting back to all of you sooner but I was on a vacation... The carb problem can do it to you... Thanks...

Hi All, I am attempting to figure out what is wrong with my carb. My car is a 65 Impala 409 4spd 340hp car all original. The rochester carb was rebuilt and restored by an outfit in chicago. What happens is I can start the car and idle fine but when I start to drive at low rpms it wants to...

Hi Bob, It still is such a good feeling seeing a car that you liked so much come together in the right hands... I was certain that this car was going to meet the crusher if I sold it to anyone. The individual that wanted this car before you just kept saying how he was going to change this...

HI ALL, I just wanted to take the time to thank Bob for helping me get my 65 Belair running for just the second time this year.... The carb kicked the bucket but Bob came up big time.... He also managed to give some life to my sleeping 65 Impala 409.... It was sweet music to my ears to hear...

Thanks Carl, Any chance you know what those discs would fit? Thank you Ned 65Impala409

Hi All, I found in a local junkyard a set of front disc brakes on a 71 Chevy Impala 4 door sedan are these a bolt on for my 65 Impala? Thank you Ned 65Impala409

Hi ALL, Thank you for your time and effort to figure this out... I appreciate it.... Ned 65Impala409

Hi All, I went down back and looked at the air cleaner and the snorkel seems to be pointing in the down ward position... Just as a follow up to the rochester carb I dont think it came with this air cleaner but I never did check to see if it fit... Ned 65Impala409

Hi All, A little off the beaten path but does anyone know what the proper decals are for my 65 Impala 409 valve covers? This is the 340 horse.... Thank you Ned 65Impala409

Hi ALL, I have the original rochester carborator that is posted on the reference page,7025123. Now for the real question, not even sure what it is called but I saw it on a 327 motor and it looks like it is a screw with a spring around it and appears to keep the idle steady or act as a...

Hi All, So you think lowering the old 4 doors is a good touch.... I have a 65 belair 4dr that is just crying out for some attention... Sometimes I dont think I can give away prizes to get people to appreciate it... Hmm, maybe a girl in a bikini would do, but I am not so sure... Then again...

Hi Bob, You are right on with him, everytime I find something there that I want it gets legs... My friend actually took both doors on that blue 65 blue convertible, I just found that out 2 weeks ago. Believe it or not it had power windows in that beat up convertible before that dissapeared...
