1965 Dodge Dart Charger

Yes, the Prestolite iron distributor was black from start. After it was assembled on the engine it was painted red.

I added the fan and the spacer. Found a nice spacer from November of 1964 so that one will do. Just used some good cleaning stuff. On the fan I found the DPCD marking stamped as well as BS. What does it stands for?

On the other side you can see a stamped D. I thought it was a dent or something that I had missed.

I added the pin in the carburator that holds the air cleaner but when it cames to the nut I do not know. The smaller one is on my convertible and the restored silver cad was on the hardtop. Question is, which one is right?

I found a magazine from 1964/1965 with a color picture of how the engine compartment looked like. This is the only color poicture that I have ever seen.

You can see painted exhaust manifolds, painted return spring bracket, a full painted negative cable and black alternator bracket.
