Max's 67 Dart GT
Max...good progress....great pics. I don't mean to rain on your parade, but, I hope you dont think that 273 you're rebuilding is a Commando...ie the 10.5:1 compression one. I see the car has the "273 FOUR BARREL" fender callout, and you have a Commando 4 barrel cast intake and valve covers,but the pics of the pistons show they are the 2 barrel ones...ie, 8.8 (or less) compression. I also dont see the dual-point distributor. You have a single point, used on the 2 barrel engines. Now, if you changed to the 10.5 pistons, and didnt post any pics of those, everything above is moot.
I'm not trying to your bust balls, just passing on information. :-)
These are the 4-barrel pistons....note the dome, and only 2 valve reliefs.....
