Its not the original motor. Someone swapped it in at some point. It was an original 273 car. Not sure what the 318 is out of

The casting numbers on the block, heads and timing cover are all 67

Today was a victory with all the advice. I ditched the electric fan and installed the mechanical with no shroud. Cruised the freeway at 3100 rpm and never went above 175. Slow cruising in town never went over 185. And it was 100 degrees outside. I am more than happy with those numbers...

I'm considering just running the mechanical again with the electric

Doesn't fit as a puller unfortunately. Only got 3 inches of space. Fan runs off a painless kit with 180 on/160 off switch. Pulleys are just stock pulleys

I'll try blocking more up front

Hoping the community has some wisdom to lay on me. I have a 65 Dart Wagon. It has a 67 318 in it. It was running 210+ when the outside temp started getting above 90 degrees. I just put a cold case aluminum radiator with 2 row 1.25" cores and a flex a lite 3000cfm 16" fan. Still ran about...

Does anybody know where I can get some reasonably priced steel wheels for a 65 Dart? I need 2 for the front. They are a 5 on 4 (101.6) bolt pattern. Any help is appreciated

65 Dart 270 wagon. 318 now Chevy II is not mine sadly

Awesome! This looks like what I need. I'm going to try that length and hope for the best. Thanks

I guess I should specify that its a 67 318 4bbl in a 65 dart wagon. Car was originally a 273 car so I assume the trans is the original 904

I'm not sure exactly which year. Its in a 65 but the motor is out of a 67. I assumed the trans was original

Does anybody know the length of the circled rod? It goes from the throttle valve arm at the transmission to the lower bellcrank pivot. I currently have the wrong lower pivot and rod. I can find the pivot but I can't find the rod. Mine is adjustable, so if I can get the length I can make it...

Can you send some pictures?
