I got the starter all fixed up and put back in today. I adjusted the kickdown some more. And for the first time in 18 years the dart moved down the road under its own power. I had made another video with my knockoff gopro, but the battery died and it didn't save lol. But my wife filmed it for me from a distance. I was having some issues with it dying under load, I adjusted on the carb and did better the 2nd and 3rd trip. The last trip I actually took it about 1/2 a mile just to make sure that trans would shift and it did. Still got some bugs to work out but today was a huge win!! Im so happy!
I am SO happy for you. Following your thread with all the work you've put in and now to have it move under it's own power...doesn't get much better than that! Congrats - great job!!
