I have on on my iPhone. I like it. It does HUD, although I have not used HUD in my Corvairs. I use it as a check of speedometer accuracy in my vehicles. The icon is a square in red and green with a black circle inside of that with 55 in green in the middle, this one: Speedometer - Free - Speed Limit Alert

Rex is right, again. One center port for PVC, I Mean PCV (Mel ) about a 1/4" in diameter and a smaller center port for the rubber connection to the steel line to the Powerglide's modulator valve would be correct for this 64 car.

Good job! The only important measurement is the hole distance below the exterior surface. They can be most anywhere except where the joint is between trim pieces. And you can install one or two more, the trim does not care. Those screws are not stainless. Dabbing them with paint is good. I installed many of them back when I had my collision repair shop.

The PVC orifice (64 to 69 except 64/5 AC cars) is in the PVC tube from the top shroud connector to the air cleaner at the port to the hose to the balance tube. I bet several members in central NC have the balance tube you need. Is there a hose on the vacuum mod

QuoteRocco it also says the diodes AND regulator You took the car or just the alternator? The two wire connector on back of the alternator, are the terminals parallel, or in line?

Makes sense, as by then the parking lights would be on with headlamps, wait.... how could they ONLY be on with the low beams and off with the high beams? That's wrong. Ah Ha!

Where the hose attaches to the side port of the "PCV" tube (air cleaner to crankcase vent tube sticking out of top shroud ) is an obvious restriction! If the port is wide open, then the restriction is missing. Size of restriction is in shop manual.

Tiny torch tip cleaner use here too. Really shows you the angle of the squirt too. I bought some tiny tiny drill bits too over the years (a set of 61 -80 in addition to metric) but yours are pretty! And I have used them to open holes in circuit boards when the component leads (remember way back when parts had leads?) we bought were larger in diameter than the holes speced by the software.
