In 64 my dad bought a new fairlane. The dealer gave him a galaxy 500 convert. model. I played with that thing until the wheels fell off. That was back when gas stations were called service stations and you'd get all kinds of freebies with a fill-up.

Works ok on mine

The lamp assembly slides into the end of the "bullet". It just pulls out and then you can get to the lamp. Sounds like you may have a corrosion problem, mine comes apart easily.

You set the idle speed with the carb not timing. Try setting your idle timing at 8 degrees advance and adjust carb idle to speed you want. To check vacuum advance on dizzy, disconnect hose at carb, remove dizzy cap and suck on hose. You should see the advance mechanism move as you apply vacuum.

on my stock 66 it looks different. the cable is attached to a steel piece with a roller that is pushed by the button. the plastic piece acts as a guide with a cam that rides up and down with the cable.

Possibly heat soak in the starter. You didn't say if you're running headers, but climb underneath and see how much clearance you have between exhaust and starter.

I saw a comic in yesterdays paper. Nascar was meeting and said driverless cars would be great, wouldn't have to pay any drivers for winning.

Hey TKO, I'm confused. Where did it say anything about a 65 doing 208?

I believe in the middle of 67 ford went from a 1" pitman shaft to 1 1/8" shaft.

Steve, do you know who supplies the below mount bar?

If you want to email me the pic I'll post it for you.

Is he complaining about over heating or are you just looking for something to worry about. The water level will rise as it heats up and you'll see little or no flow at idle. Did you try revving it to check for flow? If it's not overheating, I'd move on to something else.
