Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project

If you are running Flux core wire Home Depot sells .030 wire, make sure you are running flux core wire on DCEN(electrode negative) the gun will be hooked up to the negative terminal. For solid wire it will be on DCEP (electrode positive). the gun will be hooked up to the positive terminal. Also what type of welder is it? If it is an inexpensive welder it could only be flux core or solid not both.

I am going to Hazard a guess that he may have picked up a Harbor Freight welder. I have read that they work great if you buy a quality wire from a different manufacturer. I am sure you can find a welding shop on your side of the Bridge, but if not there is one in Martinez, near Pacheco, almost across the street from the Highway Patrol on Blum Road off Pacheco Blvd.

I am almost neighbors with you, I live in Antioch, used to live off Blum Rd in Martinez, and have a house in Vallejo where my parents live and watch over my mopar graveyard.

I have really enjoyed reading and watching your other build projects and recently stumbled on this one. I am also working on a slant turbo project but have mostly been collecting parts. The speed at which you get projects done is amazing! Takes me five times as long to think about doing a project. Bill, Rusty, Pishta, and many of the others here on FABO have also offered me some great advice and now I am learning by watching you go to town on this.

If you see a gold 2 door 71 Swinger with a ugly bald guy driving it, that's me.
