66 Dart GT HT Whatsitgonnabe?
Away for the week-end to run a 90 km relay in the middle of Sweden. A fantastic couple of days.
This afternoon I looked into the dislocated trunk torsion bar and I managed to get it back on track without loosing any fingers. I found the reason for the mishap, too. Check the pictures. The passenger side hinge is at an angle. Probably because the hinge pin is bent. This makes the torsion bar end come very close to slipping off the hinge glide surface.
I guess I will have to disassemble the whole thing to find the root cause and straighten whatever it is that is bent.
I also took a closer look at the gas tank. It is in about as good shape as I could ever hope for! The sending unit looks new to me and the inside looks entirely rust free, possibly a little surface rust but I think it is some kind of residue. I'll rinse it out and have another look when it stops raining.
The connector for the sending unit is shot, though. Are they possible to get a hold of?
