Well, the saga that is the 65 continues. Still getting everything dialed in and dealing with hiccups along the way.
First oil change since the intake leak/ top end pull apart, and was pleased with how clean everything was. Changed the rear end gear oil also to keep the truetrac happy; no issues there either. Especially glad I have a 57 housing with a drain plug . . .
Took my Dad on his first ridealong this weekend - he's been working doing disaster relief with a charity since he retired so he's gone a bit, but since he caused this "obsession" it was nice to cruise with him a while. Even at 43 I still didn't really want to open it up with him on board though!
Well, maybe a little.
Only real issue I've had is the built in rev limit for the MSD dizzy; the Pro-Billets use a wire routed to the dash that is grounded out at half of your desired rpm limit to set. I've had it at 4500 since I got it running, so yesterday decided to go ahead and bump it to 5500. I had wired it to a switch on the dash, and figured that was smarter than a wire hidden somewhere - that was, until I hit the switch at idle and set my rpm limit at 1600 like a bone head. Took a little tweaking to get it right again but was pretty aggravated for a minute or two.
Had a little leak on the TKO also; I had Tremec install the short input shaft when I bought it to work with a stock (toploader) depth BH. Of course, one of the case joints was seeping ever so slowly, but that's fixed also now.
Pretty happy with alignment, but headed to my buddies shop with an alignment machine to get it dialed in 100% before we start getting serious miles on the old girl. I'm fairly sure it's right, but I used wheel dollies instead of turning plates, so we can fine tune it there. Then it's time for a good 100 mile drive to see how she does. . .
All in all, still having a blast with it and trying to wrap up some interior bits, but that might have to wait till winter . . . .
More later.
Thanks for looking-

Too many laps around the sun since I did this on a regular basis at a tire/alignment store when I was in college. I recall that I used to use the rationale that the side with the more negative caster was putting the tire contact on that side of the car slightly ahead of the more positive side, causing the car to want to "rotate" around the more forward contact point. Whether there's any truth in that theory I don't know, but it helped me make sense of it back then. Actually, I think it has to do with the fact that the more negative the caster, the more unstable the steering, so it pulls to the more unstable side that's wanting to wander. So, Dan, try adding +.25 to the LEFT side and see if it helps. Also, you said your camber was -.25 "or so". If the "or so" is slightly more positive on the LH side, that can contribute to the pull to the left, too. Sorry for the bum tip earlier. And thanks, Johno, for giving my little gray cells a shot of PB Blaster. I guess those laps around the sun must cause corrosion. 
experience is what you get right after you need it.
