I’m running 225/60/15’s all around on my 64 Dart, using the 15” Chrysler rallye wheels, I think they’re from summit if I recall correctly.

Hey, the toolbox is only 50lbs lol. I’m running a 4 bbl qft jetted down to match the 225 better and headers with pretty free flowing exhaust. The trans issue is something I’ve considered. I have a second 64 dart I’ve been using for parts and it’s a manual, so I have the 4 speed trans and pedals...

I had a 70s kneeknocker in there. Between that and the york compressor from the same time, it was just dead weight. Eventually I'll swap over to a unit that replaces the factory heater box and does it all. Modern compressors are lighter, and the heater box replacements are the same weight or...

I believe you can get the full pan in on a 2-door car. Yes, you can do a lap weld. Most people do a butt weld by tacking and then doing the full seam, but if you're up close to the door frame itself you wouldn't lose anything by lapwelding, and you could throw some silicone between the pieces...

I agree, if a full pan is available for your year, that’s the way to go. Just welds around the perimeter, less need to make sure your cuts line up perfectly as with the smaller sections and less welding.

I did the half pans on my 64. They were honestly great.

https://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=65328 Is this the style of modification you did to the cam sensor?

I've seen a number of people who did that, hall-effect sensor that detects the cam lobe. That works, but personally I'd like to replace the distributor with something that does the same job. When I switch to EFI I want to take full advantage of it.

Thank you for this. Do you have a picture and/or part number for the cam sensor? Those LS coil mounts look great.

Did you swap in the front buckets or the rear bench? Looking at swapping a later bench into my dart.

I need to get some measurements but I'm thinking about the rear seat from a fiat 500L. The driver's side portion has an independent front-back adjustment and tilt, a folding center armrest, and the center and passenger side seats do front-back and tilt together. It also has headrests that can go...

My front bench seat is getting to the end of its life. Broken, rusty springs, and the foam is wearing out. So, with that in mind, I'm thinking about swapping in another bench seat and just having it upholstered to look the same as my current one. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts...

I read through the documentation of the MS3Pro last night to try and get an idea for how it works. It looks like you can adapt a points distributor to function as a camshaft sensor using a Hall effect sensor. OP's setup for the crank is the only setup I can think of to get an accurate reading...

I had the 3-core from Champion but due to its thickness I was unable to fit an electric fan between it and the engine, trying to figure out if their 2-core has less depth, similar to the factory radiator.

Can you share more about your ignition? Correct any of this if it's wrong I want to make sure I understnad - the MegaSquirt takes place of the distributor and controls spark to each of the cylinders and timing, as well as when fuel is injected. How are you mounting coils and wiring it? How...
