1963 Dart 170 2 Door Post Resto

So, finally got a few hours to get at the dart yesterday. Pulled the driveshaft to replace the damaged trunnion boot. Turns out is wasn't chewed but torn. Guess buying NOS wasn't the best idea in this case. Gues it was a little brittle, though it didn't feel like it when installing. The new was WAY more flexible. I was actually able to install it without removing the pin. I read that you could get it over the pin and then squeeze it though the sleeve. It actually worked. The left-over grease definitely helped. That and my wife came out to give me an extra set of hands. Hardest part was putting all the needle bearings back in and holding it while packing it with grease and getting the cover back on. Hopefully this time it will last.

Also got the leaky exhaust gasket replaced. Almost miss the little rumble it had.

New problem though. Took it for a run and the temp guage stopped working. Testing lead me to a faulty sender. Got one coming from Rock Auto.

A couple more little things, check over the front end, and do an oil change and wash and polish and it should be ready to move on to a new owner
