69 Dart GT Conv. 340-6pak
Well guys, after a long summer hibernation with home projects out the wazoo, its time for me to wake up and smell the grease once more. I had mega problems getting the six pack to clear the GTS hood, but its done! Wanting to use my custom air cleaner and not the oem style was a chore. After calling schumaker so many times he knows my voice, I have lowered the engine in the bay with no luck due to steering clearance and header clearance issues, raised and lowered each side multiple times, and finally milled .500" off the 3 carb bases. All thats left to do is to shorten or remake the choke rod for the center carb. All this taking aprox 10 weeks to figure out. So having said all this, Now the wiring harness is laid out in the engine bay and I am ready to start connecting all. I have also gotten all the steering column mounting parts glass beaded and painted, and ready to install. I'm waiting on the Stewart thermostat to come in and then put the top radiator hose back on. Im also sanding and polishing the air cleaner top.
