1967 Dodge Dart 270
What a day. The wife and I both tested negative for COVID so I had my buddy over and he helped me install the engine, tranny, and headers. We both learned a lot in the process. Had to take the center link out for the headers. When reinstalling, the studs on both the pitman and idler arms are free spinning so the castle nut doesn't want to tighten. I will figure that out, want to refresh the front suspension anyway. I only grabbed a couple of pictures at the end of the process. I managed just under 6 hours of video but realized at the end that my audio was not set up correctly so there is no sound. =/ Anyhow, I am sore and wore out. If I am feeling alright tomorrow, I want to work on getting the exhaust installed and the rest of the engine compartment put together. Then maybe the fuel system on Sunday. Getting back under the car today reminded me of how much more work there is to do.
