Just bought my '66 Dart and have some questions!
Hi! One piece of happy but cold as hell Swede here!
I just got home with my '66 and apart from som minor issues
mostly caused by the PO being a complete idiot the car is in
better shape then most of the Darts in Sweden since they were driven until
they broke and tossed away some twenty years ago.
'Bout the car!
Freshly rebuilt 318 with 360 heads, intake, Holley 750, 10:1 compression, 8,3/4 rear, rebuilt 904, dual exhaust, some crappy electrical made by PO :toothy10:
First some pictures, Then questions! :cheers:

Questions!
1: Engine heater. Would like to be able to get the engine a bit warmer in the mornings since it's a daily driver and it -40C in the winters :angry7: how do you get a engine heater in my old 318 =p One of these small ones that you put in the water circuit?
2: Coupe heater? (inside) how do you get a 230V (standard household in Sweden) plug in the car? just plain cable from the front and in?
3: Disc brakes in front how? or more like it, what's cheapest? Would like to be able to stop too :cheers:
4: Power stearing, same as the brakes, how to get one, what parts is needed and what's cheapest (used parts!)
5: My temperature gauge has failed, the fuel gauge works but not the temp. so I'm suspecting the gauge itself? Or is it simpler than that?
Well that's all for now, I'm going to re-do the wiring on the inside and engine-bay tomorrow, I've just bought a hundred meters of cable in diffrent colors, going to do it according to stock 8)
