MuuMuu101's 68 Dart, A Learning Process...

That picture was taken towards the end of working on the car. I generally dress in some older shop/car shirts with some old ripped, greasy, dirty, and/or painted jeans. And I agree, this is definitely a car for upper class.

I think power brakes and the KH went together. I don't have a build sheet, but I don't think this car was a power steering car. When I changed my PS pressure hose I had to use a 75 Dart hose which has different fittings from a '68. Lot's of hokey pokey, no no stuff was going on with this car that I've been slowly sorting out.

I wish I had the time, money, and the skills to do much more but I'm still learning.

well, the thrill of owning these old cars is correcting the "no no " stuff LOL ....if there was none of that to correct, where is the fun? LOL.
my car was pretty original except somebody had monkeyed with the wiring ....talk about constant electrical problems LOL ......still funner than buying a new car and just propelling foward and looking like everyone else on the road.

Wow your car would look even more upscale with a black vinyl top....i am always amazed at how much vinyl tops used to dress cars up.

typical A/c car with an Auto and 2.94 gears ...well at least you will get highway miles with those gears.....thats my next swap.....i need some deeper gears with the 4 speed i just put in mine....its just an OD 833 so the wide ratio feels horrible with the shallow gears. i might do 3.55 or 3.91.....with the shallow gears i end up running it one gear down from where its supposed to be to keep the RPMs up....but im a crazy anyway. :cheers: :toothy8:
