Hi Claus:

I have owned 2 of them. One was blue/blue and the other saddle/saddle.

They are very rare just 200+ I believe. I don't recall the exact #. That is the 365HP with air. Fuelies did not have the option of air. The engine code should end in "RR"

Power brakes were great to help slow down the beast. I doubt there are numbers with the combo of air, p/b and 365.

Also, 365/air cars did not have power steering as I recall. They had an adjustable pulley where the pump would go. Also, the power steering cylinder would not clear the oil pan.

If you change the pan, then you could add p/s.

Thanks. There is no power steering on my car and after what i can see there have never been.

I have played with the idea of adding power steering

Well the total for '64 coupes with AC and L76 is 243 (Noland Vol 2, pg 213).
Then, same source, pg 221; '64 [both body styles] w/ J50 and C60 and manual trans (3 sp, or 4 sp) = 226.

So you'll have to do some iteration to estimate the number for your original combo.

P.S. My bad -- obviously no N40 possible with big oil pan, per above responses.

Another unusual item on the air/365 car is the air conditioning compressor pulley. It is larger that other air cars to help compensate for the higher revs.

My saddle car did have power steering added to it.

You must have a twin to my original '64 coupe silver/black 365/ac/4-speed... but my car has an added plus with rare TI system.

Hello Wayne;

Would this A/C pulley diameter also be used on '65 365HP ?

Thanks.

Ray -- by all means; here's a nice '65 convertible from Calif. at NW regional in Seaside OR in 2006 (IIRC). The square holes in the front clutch hub may be wrong (personal opinion). This pulley is 6_3/8" diameter (per '65 TIM&JG).

Hello Wayne;
Thanks for the picture and Info.
Your picture shows no paint in the center of the clutch assembly.
Maybe an indication of R&R.
