1967 Dodge Dart 270
Got all my parts picked up and installed. Tomorrow, when it's 60 degrees and not dumping buckets, I'll pull it out, fire it up and try my hand at carb tuning. I have a metering rod performance spring set so I can change them out if I need to. Still not entirely sure what to look for though aside from flat spots. we'll see how it goes. Plan to use vacuum to tune the idle mixture screws. With the oil all over both sides of the manifold gasket, I am hoping that was the reason for the lowish vacuum. We shall see. Next up? Rip out the interior and get a good look at what needs patching in the floors. Then save some more pennies for a torsion bar crossmember. Would like to do the crossmember, frame rail patches, and floor patches at the same time.
