    Front Drum brake troubles on a 1964 Dart

    Later 9 in drums are finned. I think they started in 70. Heavier and I would think less likely to warp. I put a set on my 64 and they work fine (for 9 in drums anyways). You can also use 67 or newer shoes and adjusters but have to get a matching set, the shoes have the posts for the adjusters...

    Hmmmmm, 198 issues

    I have a high elevation Dart with a 225. I'm the third owner and it lives at a similar elevation to you, 4800 feet. The guy I bought it from stored it in an airplane hanger, and maintained it like it was his second airplane. He tested compression every year and I have the log. At 53000 miles he...

    Price for Spark Plug Tubes?

    The Aussie ones linked above by Charrlie are about $85 US. Too bad that gets marked up with shipping and such.

    Carburetor Recommendation

    Ford Cortinas in Europe got a 36 DCD. 2 bbl progressive with removable choke tubes and no choke mechanism. Had fuel enrichment like some of the sidedrafts instead. You can still get them imported but they sure aren't cheap. Formula Ford race cars run a 32/36 on a pinto engine and get 150-160hp...

    Billet distributor available

    What I found interesting was that a distributor was made, not the kit in particular. A lot of the EFI kits these days will run off of a Hall effect distributor which this one is. One of the guys on the .org converted a Chevy distributor for that reason. How hard is it to find a slant...

    Billet distributor available

    Anyone heard of ICE Ignition? Aussiespeed has an ignition kit listed with a billet distributor for slant 6. Companies website says there are 16 preprogrammed spark curves. Has vacuum advance through MAP sensor. Slant 6 225 performance ignition kit for non forced induction ICE. With rev limiter...

    Electronic ignition for Slant 6

    I put a Pertronix 2 in my 64 with the matching coil they sell. Way easier than all the extra wiring of the HEI/Mopar conversions. Another benefit other than looking stock and removing the ballast is that points distributors are way easier to take apart and recurve. Also no need to purchase a new...

    Picked up a slant for the first time

    Convert to electronic ignition if it isn't already and replace the exhaust. That is all I would bother with.

    New 1964 owner with many questions

    The GM parts are better than the ones Mopar used. Mopar EI was first and GM's was better. I am too lazy to find the link but I bet SSD will add it if he replies again. What is even worse on the Mopar EI is that the units are now China built and unreliable. If it hurts to put GM in the car you...

    New 1964 owner with many questions

    I recently did a lot of this stuff so I'll comment on what I did and what I would do if I did it over. 1) No power drum brakes are fine, I would avoid rush hour but they are plenty for a cruiser. The 9" brakes will lock up the stock size tire so there is that to consider. I would only upgrade...

    Slant SIx TTI Exhaust

    I bought one of these from TTI last Xmas. They advertise it for early A's but it was really designed around a newer body style. DDutra said they were willing to fab one up for free to anyone that would lend them an early A for the time needed to get the kinks worked out. On my 64 Dart with a...

    Should I rescue this? '66 Dart 4-door

    I prefer 4 doors myself. Nice 4 doors get tons of attention. All I see at car shows is Barracudas, Dart GT's and Swingers. Gets old to me real fast. I can't drive my 4 door anywhere without people wanting to talk about it, lots of them aren't even car guys. If it won't take much to get it...
