So great to see cars like this still around and in the hands of good people keeping them preserved so we can see how they were as delivered.

In a motor vehicle, the word “Powertrain” comprises the main components that deliver power to the road surface.
This includes Engine, Transmission, Drive shaft, Differential and Wheels.

The use of the word Drivetrain technically leaves out the engine.
Too many people use this term when describing their car.

On to my Powertrain numbers.

I made a list of most of the components and their codes for this ‘65 once I finished the sorting.

Thanks, Chris.

Alternator, Starter, Water pump and the AC 6550 Fuel pump were all rebuilt by the pros in those fields.

Battery cables.

I elected to keep both OEM cables with their factory numbers on the car.

Both cables had the spring rings severed and generic ends installed.

I installed a much cleaner cable end that solders on. Good for now.
