I am not an expert: I have my '64 225 set to 2.5 BTDC at a 550rpm at warmed up idle. Also have a 6 Blade fan, stock Modine radiator. I have had the gauge show hot but a laser thermometer showed proper temps. The problem was the electrical sender/wire and gauge.

Have to ask If you have any '64 Dart headight bezels.

Try an extra ground wire from the block to fire wall. that worked for me on the same problem a few years back. Also I find that my 225/6 at correct idle just does not move enough air especially at long L.A. stops. After a lot of tests etc. I found that a big toe on the pedal [about 20-40 rpm]...

Steve, Try : wwwrestorationspeciaties.com They have a catalog on line. I got some weatherstrip and those same clips for my '64 GT a couple of years ago. Mine were not listed by application so by hand drawn pic of the only one not rusted away, and phone calls; the correct ones were sent. So...

Hello Efren, I see that you went full steam ahead with the eyebrow 'project.' I would be interested but, at the moment, I am searching for 'nicer' bezels to dress those moldings up! I even had the conceptual plan to take a poor shape sacrificial unit: Restore with body filler, make a fiber...

I think that the breather to air cleaner hose is a smog control idea to re-cycle fumes down the carb for burning. OK idea - otherwise; out the breather -through the firewall or hood into the vents and cab. But is ok for engine and I do not think has an effect on pcv. I did see that there is...

Valve hose to the carb base and breather to the air cleaner is correct on stock 1 & 2 barrel carbs. Do check/ replace hose and make sure the carb's hose nipple is not blocked. I recall that years ago I discovered a lot of oily black junk had over time collected. Now I rebuild my 1 barrel at...

Hey guys and girls, I just was thinking (due to gas at $5.00 per gallon) what timing would give the best mileage/performance for a city traffic fighter? -Ken PS- coffee cup [black-no sugar] on the air cleaner!

Cant post a reply now. Have to get to e-bay - Quick !!! Looking for the next safe!!!

Be sure she goes to a good 'home' with loving parents!!! But I vote on keeping and getting it back on the road.

Looks like "changes" are already being made. I opened a Flag [in red] from 'Dart Club' a few days ago - intro 2014 Dart. A SRT packed car. I wished the styling would have 'spoken' "64 dart GT" That would have been 'too cool'

On the bucket list!!!

Slant Six distributor location is prone to accumulation of moisture and often builds up corrosion, and then just does not work. I changed over to a electronic ignition and change the cap and rotor once a year. Never had any problems since

I agree with Darter6. I have the straight pin squeeker and looked at the TS102. I'll get one soon. The wheel on the horn contact is very important! All the direct rubbing cannot be good on the steering wheel's contact ring . The price looks good too.
