    Who in the right mind would do THIS to a '66 Dart??

    Hey I may take some flak but really everything could be taken off and it be a decent ride. No wing,bars and hood scoop I would drive it. The skulls ain't as bad as some of the ''busy'' paint jobs out there. As foir the interior I am interested in what he used for door and deck panels.

    Dash Pad??

    I went and checked it out this morning and I didn't see the mounting holes. So I guess I did get a bone stock one. Though I would at least ask so I could locate one if it was missing. I did however get the all white with red interior model. You know that red when 45 years old can't be color...

    63-66 lets see your wheels...

    Not sure about the roof rack. I like the look of the car without it. My son's mother had a 64' Dodge Dart 4dr with a slant 6 for her first car. That thing was soo much fun to drive.

    Help!!!!

    Yeah he said that at least 5 of them wouldn't spark and that it looked like the electrode was brittle. They looked odd when I installed them but thought it was just me. Yeah he took my 50 and then looked bent because I wouldn't tip him. Marks that place off my list of possible mechanics. I...

    Its running, its running!!! After throwing in the towel and finally takking it to a mechanic, it is running. Mechanic found out that I had gotten a bad batch of plugs and the points were incorrectly gapped. The points parts sucks because I had paid a guy 50 bucks to set them for me. I love how...

    I dont have the yellow coil. I got a polished super stock coil. Very similiar to the stock one. Now with the trim pieces,,I never got an answer or a final price. Found out through the grapevine that it is very common to get that kind of run around. I appreciate the info on it though. That way I...

    Help!!!!

    To install it in the heater hose nipple with a T fitting,,colud I install it in the same heater hose except at the firewall with a T fitting? After this the next step is the Carb. I am beginning to wonder if I should just unbolt it and put a 4bbl on there. They are easy to find and get parts for.

    Can you get that gauge regulator at Napa or other parts store? Knowing my luck prolly have to buy it from the manufacter which no longer has any in stock.

    Help!!!!

    When I started this mission,,,I did one wire and plug at a time, but then realized the new cap was on wrong. Meaning that the little notch was on the wrong side. So then I tried to replace the wires accordingly. I fully think that i brain farted and messed the wire patterns. I put the coil back...

    Help!!!!

    To make myself sound even more retarded,,,,,, I keep seeing the firing order just listed as numbers and it saying the distributor runs clockwise. With that being said does the number 1 wire goto the 6 o'clock position or the 12 o'clock,,if I am standing at my front bumper looking down on the cap?

    I dont remember turning the dist . As for points,,I have no clue how to set the gaps and getting electrical infor on these cars are a pain. If the old resititor doesnt smoke how could the new one be getting to much power? If I can get it to start running smooth at idle and in drive I won't...

    Help!!!!

    Also is it common for a new resistor to smoke? I thought it might be burning off the stuff the put on them to help keep it clean during packaging but it kinda freaked the wife out so i put the old one back on,,,no smoke. In the past 4 days I have ran into more issues.
