    Craigslist, not mine, 64 dart gt convert

    Found this on Craigslist. Pretty much exactly what I am looking for, a 64 convertible 273 4 speed. Seems a bit high though. I don't think much has ever been done to it. Thoughts? http://saltlakecity.craigslist.org/cto/3217913814.html

    Water leak, dash- WIpers?

    Washed my car the other day and noticed I was getting water drips from the dash....arg. I'm guessing from the wipers. Can anyone post me a picture of what I need to repair this on a 70 swinger? I am thinking there are some bushings and foam gaskets involved.

    Holley Cold Start - Run Issues.

    Been fighting this one for a few months now and with spring on the way, it would be nice to get figured out. It's a Holley street avenger 690 CFM. It has to be specific to this carb because the 3310 that was on the car never had the same issues. Starts right up cold or hot. Choke's set...

    Henrob Dillon Welder

    Selling a Henrob Dillon welder. These are great. You can weld like a tig and cut like plasma. Here's a link to a site that sells them new. http://www.cut-like-plasma.com/ Nice welder but I really only used it a few times and now it just collects dust. I'll ship it to you in the US for $150

    Reducing Oil Pressure

    After some time away from my Dart I've been getting her back on the road this spring. I'm getting the ambition to pull the oil pan and either change the pump or spring inside. My problem is I have way too much pressure. Cold at idle this thing is at over 70 lbs and if I rev her up to 2000 it's...

    Adjusting manual steering box.

    My steering box is a little too tight. I know to do it as the service manual states I need to disconnect the pittman arm etc but I'm kind of lazy at the moment..... Are there special tools to adjust the large nut where the steering shaft goes in? Anyone have an easy procedure? I loosened the...

    adjustable strut rods?

    Has anyone used adjustable strut rods? I see ESPO has some for 140 a pair which is a lot less than I have seen elsewhere. Thinking this might help solve my problems.... I am guess they also allow you to tweak alignment after it's all together if needed also right?

    Verify Torque specs...

    My FSM shows 145 ft lbs torque for the lower control arm pins is this correct? Seems kind of high. Also, I cannot find a torque for the upper control arm cam bolt nuts anywhere, is there a recommended spec or should I just go with standard for a 1/2" bolt?

    Lower Control Arm Doesnt go back in????

    Hey guys, so I have this all torn apart, cleaned up, new PST bushings in the lower arms, new pst strut rod bushings on and woaaa I am way off from getting this together. What gives? I can't believe the torsion bar can drive this that much forward. Do I need to lift the frame? Are the PST strut...

    Welding on control arm brackets

    Been a few years but I need to do some mig welding on my control arm brackets where they hold the bushings. Do I simply need to disconnect the battery for this? Was thinking it would be good to go then.

    Upper control arm help please, I've got a mess....

    Been tearing into my suspension and found someone hacked together some things which is not a surprise I guess considering all the other crap I've been dealing with.... So on the drivers side it looks like the bushing was loose so they pressed on a sleeve to hold it in place. Is this common...

    Z Bar attachment pins?

    Does anyone have a picture of the pins that attach the Z bar to the pedal linkage and the clutch fork linkage for a 70 small block. Mine seems kind of hacked together. I bought a new rod for the for from Brewers but the pin on the Z bar is only about 5/16" diameter.

    Tiny pin in steeing pot kit?

    I'm replacing the steering box in my car and decided to also replace the shoes and seal on the steering pot. In the kit came this little bitty pin, where the heck does that go? I don't see it in the service manual etc. Do you need it? Looks like it must retain something? Does anyone ever...

    I'm glad things are going to China

    You know guys, I never thought I'd say it, but I'm actually glad things are being manufactured in China now. Quality control in the good old usofa has gone steadily down hill since the early 80's. Items I have manufactured in China are first rate, not to say they are all that way, but for gods...

    Lower Control Arm Poly Bushings?

    I've been looking for lower control arm poly bushings and the only company I can find that makes them is Prothane, I'd like to us PST or Energy Suspension but looks like a bust for lowers.

    Dougs headers beating me with a ball bat

    Well, I now have the old headers out and thank god the previous owner already hacked the side off the bellhousing or I'd be in trouble getting the "easy" side in. So the passengers side is up, the old drivers side is out, the center link is down, the access cover is off the trans, the starter...

    Tuning a vac secondary carb....wideband AFR thoughts

    I've been tuning a holley 670 street avenger with a wideband afr gauge. So far, I'm running about 14.5 at idle and 14-15 at cruising at 55 mph which is about 2500 rpm. From 2500 rpm going to wot I get the momentary lean shot I'm guessing from the acc pump, then she runs about 13.5-14.5 for...

    Z bar mods for Dougs or TTI headers?

    Can anyone shed a little light on this for me? I have heard that mods are required to install these headers to the Z bar. I think TTI even sells a replacement Z bar if I have heard correctly. Anyone done this mod and or maybe even have pictures? I have a little welder and know how to use it!

    Adjustable Rocker Arm Help....

    I have crane gold rockers on my car and need a little help with the adjustment. According to Edelbrock, I need to go to zero end play then turn the adjuster 1/4 turn and lock them down. Ok all fine and good. These are hydraulic lifters so I could probably get by with a half turn or so right...
