Sorry I left that out. NC and $6000 obo.

Nice car, fairly well maintained over the years. Currently my daily driver. A running, driving car you can fix up as you go. 225, auto transmission, power steering. Selling because of health problems. Front brakes have been done by previous owner-lines, shoes, wheel cylinders. Fuel tank and...

I used this tip to get the oil seal out.

I screwed up and put the gorilla on the flange nuts. I broke one bolt. Haven’t looked to see if they are available. Otherwise, car is back together. Back to being a daily.

Rear wheel bearing fail. Lots of squeak and fluid leak. I used a 4” grinder to cut the collar and bearing. Laid a pipe wrench over the new bearing and collar and tapped it on with a small ball and peen hammer. All that’s left now is the oil seal change and check differential fluid. First...

1965 Dart 270. 4 door.

My seals are about done for. I can only find 2 door seals. Will that work for a 4 door? Just wondering if they are the same.

I would be interested in answers to your questions since I cannot find a copper radiator for my Dart.

Aluminum oxidizes. It’s heat transfer will suck after it has been in long enough. I deal with aluminum oxidation all the time and, therefore, have a very low opinion of it as a long term useful product. It’s cheap.

What happens if I leave the float spring out? I don’t see a hole for the end of the spring to go in. Probably why it was flopping around and jammed the float open. I have been daily driving with the original 1920 on the car. It runs overly rich and I get soot when it’s cold. After that, it does...

Opened float bowl. Float spring laying sideways and jammed the float down.

Thanks for that info! I saw Pirate Jack on eBay but I didn’t know they were in Asheville. That will make it easy to pick up the conversion kit. I’ll have to source rims, too. My strut rod and lower control arm bushings are in need of replacement. I’ll have to see how that fits in with a brake...

Thanks for that link! The car does have rear air shocks and it bounces over bumps. Thinking of going back with stock style shocks.

A brief YouTube video of the car.

I did a rubber set on my old Plymouth. That’s all PST offered for a C body, but I was happy with the way it turned out. I just noticed the poly offering for the A body and wondered if they would be better.

That is probably a good idea. Get her a Toyota or similar. Maybe let her have the Dodge after 5 years experience.

I have had my 65 Dart 270 for a few months now. I drive 24 miles/day for work. So far, I have just put gas in it and drove it. I changed oil today. Went with high zinc 20/50. It has a new turn signal switch and I have had to work on bulb grounding. Other than that, it has been very reliable and...

i bought one. It is perfect and the installation was easy. It should easily outlive me.

Not bad looking. Not sure about price as I don’t know much about the wagons. here is the link if anyone is interested 1965 plymouth valiant wagon - cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle...

This was with some other receipts for my 65 Dart 270. They got the heat and wipers fixed.

I used the 12v stud to power my transistor. Thus, far the ring terminals are doing fine. I’m an electrician so I always have plenty of terminals, which is why I used them.

The trace that both gauges are connected to is the 5 volt line. I repaired mine with a TO-3 style 5 volt regulator I had in parts bin. I used ring terminals to connect with the speed nuts.

Why didn’t Ma Mopar stick with one single barrel carb-either Carter or Holley?

Thank you for that information. I have not adjusted anything since I bought the car. It was regularly serviced at one particular garage by the previous two owners. I have some receipts going back to the early 1970s. For that reason, I haven’t messed with anything. The car runs well other than...

Can’t test one from Rock Auto. You pays your money and takes your chances. I agree it’s probably a stuck float or needle/seat problem. However, this is advertised as a bolt on and go carb, not a buy and spend a day making adjustments Uremco claims to have done. I may keep the new one and send...

I know carb rebuilds are iffy. My original leaked. I rebuilt it and it leaks a little. Decided to buy a rebuild from Rock Auto. I could see fuel pouring from the bowl vent. Shut off car. Could hear fuel filling carb throat and verified with flashlight. Won’t buy another. Put old carb back on and...

This is mine. 96K on the odometer.

Thanks. I would be interested @newmexguy .

I have need of both horns. I have one that works kind of and the other is bad, so I would like to find both in working condition.

I had a 68 Sport Fury. One I saved from the crusher and got to driving status. I looked at a 67 Newport before deciding on the Dart. I see there are way more parts available for an A body. Sometime in the future, I will get another C.
