Brought the Demon home tonight!!!

Well, it's been a pretty busy week. Friday afternoon I decided to try and find out where my coolant leak was coming from. Turns out the bypass hose was split. Figured I might as well replace the water pump since I was going to have it off. I put a new thermostat in it, and a thermo housing because it cracked on me while I was scraping the gasket. Temp gauge is still reading low for some reason, never reaches normal range.

Decided to change the oil and filter today. The previous owner told me that he had purchased an idler arm for it, but never got around to putting it on. I checked and I'm glad I did. I have never seen an idler arm as loose as this thing was.

I also put some new tires on it that I had laying around off of another Dart that I had bought a couple of years ago. The car really drives A LOT nicer now. But the clutch is still bad and the front brakes are grinding. The saga continues...
