1968 Dart 270 NON-build
Well, I haven't been able to leave things well enough alone...
A new booster/master cylinder has been ordered and received. The rear brake look good, but the fronts are worn. I hate spending money on front brakes, so I spent more on a disc conversion kit...
The was going to keep the steelies and just upgrade the rear to 15x7, but the correct offset no long seems available. So I bought the mustang wheels I wanted along with adapters. Well the front adapter wouldnt fit over the hub, plus they appear to be 5x100 and not 5x 4.5.
Received a Jegs dual exhaust kit. Decided on a TTI headpipe with stock manifolds. Called TTI and they said I needed to remove the passenger side manifold to get the part number. I did, and called them back to make my order. Only after I got off the phone did I see that the manifold was cracked. Guess I'm going with headers!
Finally, as I'm crawling under the car to remove the exhaust, I went to check the block casting number. The previous owner was wrong on there being a 727 installed (it's a 904). Maybe he was also wrong about the engine being a 318. Maybe I habe a 360!
