1967 Dodge Dart 270
Got a bit more disassembly done today. Got the front pump out (that was fun....). Got into the front and rear clutch packs. Clutches in the front pack look great. Clutches in the rear pack look pretty worn and are starting to show signs oof delaminating. Not surprising for a car sitting for 30 years. Also noticed a few rust spots on some of the casings and such. Wondering if it got a bit of water in it while sitting, or was it some other issue? Will work on it more tomorrow. Also need to do a bit of welding to get a manifold stud out of the block. Had some exhaust leaks. While I realized that the header gaskets that came with my headers were for a larger exhaust port. I figured they would seal. They did not. Picked up a new set from O'reilly and they worked much better. Unfortunately, when I was taking the original manifold off, one of the studs snapped off. That is my only remaining exhaust leak.
