72 Dodge Dart Swinger

It's been a minute and should probably update the thread. Pertronix kit and coil woke the car up. The new throttle cable and kick down adjustment have also been amazing. The carb has had some problems post rebuild. I am not sure if the kit was wrong but I have had a few areas around gackets where leaks have formed and have let air into the carb. Super frustrating after all the work Ive done.

With all the adjusting and working of systems including carb rebuild, idle/AFR screw adjustments, fuel line mods, vacuum line issues, throttle linkage and kick down adjustments all being touched, ......... every time I do something I feel I need to readjust something else I've already touched. The car is running amazing compared to when I brought her home and all the fuckery is making this car fun.

I need to readjust timing so I am hoping I can set timing again, and then base line everything else. Going forward I should know where I am starting and where I should be.

I have new shocks up front which have been a nice feel, and have espo springs ordered - 3 month back order when I ordered them - about a month out now.

The Autometer gauges are awesome. My only complaint is the GPS speedometer. Sometimes, not always, it takes a minute to get satellite link and if I take off before connection my speedo doesn't work. Small complaint.

So far my wire problems have been solved. Lights and systems are all working the way they should be.

I still need a fuel gauge sending unit and probably a new tank....
I feel like I am getting to the point where I can start thinking about putting a stereo in it :rofl:. Maybe upgraded exhaust / dutraduals?, intake 2bbl or dual Webber's?, 8 3/4 rear with maybe 3.2~. . . It's nice to start thinking about upgrades and not just getting it drive-able.

A family member asked me the other day why I just don't take the car into a mechanic to have it fixed so I can just drive it and not worry about the problem or other problems ...... I didn't know how to respond.....
