1969 Dodge Dart Swinger clean up
Well by the time I did the grocery run to get us through another few weeks and tracked down some AWOL postal packages I didn't get much done, but have all of the "Black" engine parts ready for paint. Need to blast the covers and fix those wire tabs. Probably try welding the one together that I have the piece for, but I'll have to make a new one for the nose of the cover.
In case anyone wants to take plug wire clips off their rocker covers without breaking them, the lock tab is on the side with the ejector pin marks in it. Of course you know how I figured this out....
Paint coming off.
Dug into my 4 shipping crates or parts that I've been hauling around since I was 16/17, some 42 years ago, and found me a nice 7 blade fan, some spacers and one c/w bolts. I've always wondered about the thought process on these. 7 blades is weird enough, unequal spacing takes the cake!
OEM fan and spacer within an 1/8" of the aftermarket arm slicer that I'm taking off the car.
Vendor #46237.. part number 2863224. That number is for each blade, not sure the assembly number.
Why I'm living with (for now) the incorrect '70 rocker covers that have the breather and PCV valve on incorrect sides for '69. Some jackass cut the back (front actually) out of a perfectly good OE cleaner top. If I swap in correct 1969 rocker covers, then I have to get a new air cleaner as well.
