It is very much worth your while to get the good gaskets for the manifolds-to-head, intake-to-exhaust, and exhaust-to-headpipe junctions. Find hardware and mounting-technique info here and here.

Hey, neat, where'd that '62 Lancer hoodbadge come from? Those get all pitted up from road rocks. Emblemagic did the '61, and it'll fit in a '62, but it's a different design.

Yeah, as I was saying: the European build of the Argentine rebody of the '63-'66 Dart – not the wider US/Australian '67-up A-body.

Not my car; I found it on a late-night EwTube rabbitholing run. It's at a dealership in MA; here. These cars are the European version of the Argentine "Dodge Coronado" rebody of the '63-'66 Dart. So they're the narrower A-body, not the wider US '67-up one. Mix of A- and B-body styling; it...

Shirley, you can't be serious. There is no right/wrong here. Your car is yours, set up the way you like it. His car is his, set up the way he likes it. It does sound like he was being a dіck, carrying on as if he gets a vote on your car and trying to "prove" you "wrong" about whether you...

Yes. No. No.

Here y'go.

Scroll back up through this thread, find the info on restrictor plates, buy and add one, and drive happy.

Can't find pics of John Pulo's car, but here's an old report on someone who did a similar mod on a '66 Valiant. Look hard and you can see it:

Don't let's, because that's not so. Many OE thermostats had a notch in the valve that was very small, and completely adequate to do the only thing this kind of hole or notch can do, which is provide an escape path for trapped air. Not a big deal because unlike more modern motors, the Mopar...

John Pulo did that (duals, left/right) atop the fins on at least one '62 Valiant. Looked terrific.

No, I don't think it'll help. The problem is the horizontal run of the fillpipe; by the time there's enough (liquid) gasoline in it to trip the nozzle's shutoff mechanism, there's enough to spill onto the quarter panel.

These are also for '60-'62 Valiant and '62 Plymouth Savoy-Belvedere-Fury.

…or not. That was step one on that road to hell I mentioned having taken years ago.
