1974 Dart Swinger Build
Got to work on the car this weekend. For the most part made some good progress.
Got the coolant leaks fixed. Replaced the freeze plug behind the Driver's side motor mount. Had to knock it out and I decided to put one of the rugger expanding plugs in its place.
Also got the carb and fuel lines installed as well as the Lokar throttle and kick-down cables.
Was to the point where I thought all I had left was the distributor and plug wires (and then start up procedure).
Unfortunately I decided to try and turn the engine over, I haven't done this since installing the transmission. Couldn't get it to budge. After some research sounds like the TC is not installed correctly and I possible have broken the pump gear... one step forward and two back. Looks like I will need to drop the transmission somehow to inspect...
Anyway, here are a couple pics of the engine
