1974 Dart Swinger
Well this weekend we replaced the ignition Module which went bad. Seems it had gotton hot and melted away the protective coating and when we gunked and washed the engine bay, the water ruined the exposed circuits. The car would crank but not fire. Now with the new module she fires up again.
We also painted the intake manifold with Dupli-Color's, 500 degree engine paint. The color we chose was DE 1615 Aluminum. We masked off quite a bit but ignored other areas since they will be replaced anyways. We also repainted the fender support posts and the fan blades gloss black.
The painting was done Saturday. Sunday we drained and flushed the radiator. Then we replaced both heater hoses, bypass hose, and top and bottom rad hoses useing all new clamps. When we went to replace the thermostat we found it was being run without one. So we put in a stock Durolast one with new gasket. I got so busy doing all this today that I forgot to get any pictures of the process, but here are some from yesterday.
