Hi Ulf, I found a sweet tire for you yesterday, it is a Good Year power cushion, black wall tire, is mounted on a spare rim from a 64 or 65 Cuda, tread has tits on it yet and never run, near mint with no damage!!! BUT, the size is 6.40-13......damn, thought I had one for you, you need 7.00-13's correct? I seen the car at a resto shop, he had 2, the one was for parts and will be parted to restore the other. The guy is also getting 2 more cars from his customer to part out to restore the one so he may have more stuff soon. I will see if I can get the pics off of my phone.

Keith! When I started to read your story I started to get excited about you found a tire for me. I said to myself, that is exactly how I or someone else should find them. But when I saw your 6.40 instead of 7.00 I just go geeeeeeeez.

Yes, I need 7.00x13 Power cushion. But they will show up. Thanks for the help Keith. I really appriciate it.

I found some old 60ies magazine last night I and boy what information I found. These pictures were taking from Rodding &Re-Styling and Cars on 1965 Darts with 273 V8s.

The first picture shows the engine without the right side gasket! Loko at the loop on the postive cable to the ignition coil. The bracket for the coil should be silver cad too. And the clamps on the fuel line is silver cad. Not the wire ones. The cable for the temperature sending unit is routed first almost to the alternator and then back to the sending unit.

The second picture shows the right spring that I posted a picture on yesterday. There seems to be some kind of paint marksings on the ignintion wires. Check out the wire for cylinder number 7. It's not in position! The top of the left shock just got one nut without the looking nut that is usually found on the right side.

Third picture shows a 1965 Coronet with a 8 3/4 rear end. Look at the numbers 283. Thats the numbers that is located in the rear end box on the broadcast sheet. You can also see how the whole left spring was painted as a unit.

The fourth picture shows the ignition coil. The factory had Chrysler, Essex or Prestolite coils. In thgis case Prestolite 200788. Those are not so common. You can also see how the brake booster hose was routed from the brake booster to the vacuum reservoir. On the upper radiator hose you can see that special pattern that they had. Anyone knows where these can be found? I think the I need to found one and then just do the white line with a striping roller pen.
