Natasha the 68 Dart
i just got back from driving a mile and a half to the gas station for the first time with Natasha as a 4 speed car. i can feel the difference from a close ratio 4 speed ....big difference .....not bad, but indeed different.
i drove it in true Joe dirt fashion....the hump is not welded in yet so i drove her with a huge hole in the floor (wow what a rush to see the street going by really fast LOL) and only one seat.
i heard a lot of strange noises but i think she is settling in......i think the clutch needs more adjusting bcoz when you let the clutch pedal up in makes a hum and it makes a clicking when the clutch pedal is all the way to the floor......to my surprise the clutch pedal is really easy on the knee.....feels like a newer car.
i can feel the OD needs a little more RPM before shifting but once your up to 55-60 MPH that final gear is really smooth....its now a great highway car.....that final gear makes you feel like your slicing through the air.
