Thank you oldfartsdart! Lookin for advice and got that. And at Wp23n the flex plate is new had to replace it a while back cuz it was warped. I will check out the fuel pump. I never thought of that. Thank you for your advice it is much appreciated!!

The engine is an 82 engine and The bearing was #five bearing. The original slant lost the main bearings and was planning on rebuilding it until a friend of mine said I have this great running 225 for sale so I went that route but should have stayed on my original path I suppose.

We pulled to motor to change the rod bearing because you cant take the pan off unless you pull the motor or remove the k member. What do you think the problem is?

I have spoke of my 64 dart with the slant six on here before. I replaced the origional with another \6. Three days after installing it the motor started knocking. We pulled the motor and found that a rod bearing was bad and checked the rest which were all good. We re installed the motor fired it...

I have a 64 Dart with a 225 /6 in it and I am thinking about putting an 83 318 in it. Just wondering what all I would have to do to swap these engines. I have done some research and found schumacher industries makes engine mounts to go from a /6 to a 318. Trying to way my options right now...

Hemipar, Im not sure how it happened. i have been treatin her real good takin it easy but it could be from sittn for six or seven years. Im on the looks for another / to put in it. I really like the 318's but am a huge fan of the /. i would really like to find a / with a four barrel on it, but...

Sad day for the slant six. I was driving to class yesterday and lost the crank shaft bearings in it. now im thinking about possibly putting a 318 in the dart or buying a used slant six. any ideas?

Very much so!! I have put quite a few miles on it within the past few weeks and now im in search for the fill tube to tank seal. I have read on here dodge dealers should be able to get it. once that is fixed i will be good to go.

Me too Hemipar. In my opinion its one of the best engines built. And lowbudget, we had to adjust the valves slightly and the timing was dead on. One of the old guys in the club that is a retired mechanic remembered on the old push buttons you could pull start them in low at about thirty mph and...

UPDATE ON THE DART!!! We got her runnin yeasterday and she runs like a top. Now just some fine tunig and we will be ready for a nice little trip.

Kevin, ill look into a leakdown kit. And Frank My plugs are dry as a bone and im pretty sure that the dizzy is dead on but not for positive. Im takin the car to our clubs clubhouse this weekend and see if any of the guys have any ideas and hopefully we can figure somethin out.

I have done the above and still nothing. My brother in law had stuck his finger in one plug hole to find tdc and with no spark plug in it fired and shot his finger out of the hole. after this happened we have dialed the timing in and it wont fire. We checked compression last night and after all...

I have also been sprayin starting fluid in the carb and dumping a little gas in it to see if that would start it but isnt doing anything.

I just put some fresh gas in and the tank has been cleaned and everything but it could be dirty in the lines. And when u turn the dist about half way it tries to start but still nothin. Im thinkin maybe it could be the fuel pump but I am getting gas.

Havent been on in a while but I kind of have an update on the dart. We found out that the timing chain was wore out on it so we put a new chain in dialed everything in and th car still wont start and im am stumped yet again. I have no clue what is wrong with this engine and im running out of...

Update on the ol 64. We worked on it quite a bit this weekend and now it is back firing. I am thinking that the timing chain is wore out. Does this sound about right??

Will do. Thanks for all the info moparkid.

Im gettin around fifty on all cylinders. but I did put a coil on off my brother in-laws sixty eight dart and it back fired so im thinkin i may be gettin closer. More work to come tomorrow. I will keep everyone posted on how things are goin. And again thanks for all the help!!

Well after a day of taking a break im still working on the old girl. Tonight im gonna check a few more things, but I was wondering what the compression should be on the cylinders??

Thanks for the Welcome hemipar. The guy who had it before me had it running but it was running rough he told me. When I got it it was not running. Im not sure what happened but something has to be wrong. I will run the gas lines today and check and make sure they are solid. Thanks for all the...

I just recently aquired a 64 Dart And I have replaced the cap, rotor, points and condenser, and rebuilt the carberator. It is still not starting but is trying. I have good compression and spark. Im at a loss right now and have done all I can do. Any suggestions??
