67 Dart GT Racecar Rescue

I hooked up a battery in the trunk to see if I could get the motor to turn over. It wasn't stuck, I could budge it, and there was a starter bolted in, so first thing was to see if I could get some life.

And nothing. Everything was dead. I was stymied for a while, and got out my voltmeter to start testing wires. Before I could even hook it up, though, it dawned on me - it's a race car, it has a kill switch on the rear bumper.

Flipped the kill switch and everything came to life. (Not the dash, there's a mess to address under there later.) The starter cranked right on over, so I checked the oil level and cranked it for a while to get the fluids moving around again.

And then of course I had a little gas can around, and even though there was no carb yet, I thought, why not, and splashed some down the intake. Like you do.



Woo hoo! I call that life. She wants to run, and damn those headers sound good.
