I agree. No Scoop For You Valiant.

A 'Ford' scoop. Now go wash your mouth out with soap. And don't let me hear you mention that ever again.

No it's not. It's the Mopar God's car. But yes. Keep it clean.

Oh Geez, Take that off. I'll even pay you to do it........... That Dart looks 'AAA Prime' with no hood scoop.

I Agree 100%. But, if you have a 2nd Hood. Then it would be an option.

Chrygore Mopar {PlymouthDodge} had a proto-type hood scoop designed back in 1965 for the A-Body. It was a smaller version of the 1963/1964 Max-Wedge Hood scoop with the recessed-channel going down the center of the scoop. A 'low-profile' scoop. which was 80% of the size of the 1963/1964 Max...

D Dart Any article on the 1966 Dodge 'D-Dart' is great. A 'mystery' factory-prepped 'Stocker'. Well done. You can go on and on about these A-Body Bandits, that were designed to tackle the 'highly competitive' NHRA D/Stock Class in 1966. To go after the 'impossible-to-beat' 1961 Corvette...

The original Carter AFB ~ {1 7/16" Primary x 1 9/16" Secondary} Is rated at 500 CFM. On a 'stock' 273 Commando, nothing much bigger is needed.

1967 Barracuda, 273 Commando, {non Formula S} Lower front fender, just in front of the door. 'Commando V8' 1966 and 1967 {Front Fender Emblems}

In 1967, Definitely. My mother bought a 'new' 67' Fastback, with a 273 Commando, 4-Speed with 8 3/4" rear with 3.23 Sure-Grip. Sticker Price...........$2940 Bucket Seats and Console, all Drum Brakes. It came thru with the 'Performance Group', which was, * 8 3/4" Rear-End * Firm-Ride...

Perfacar, Those numbers are pretty close for 'Back-in-the-Day'. In 1970 and 1971, in L/S {NHRA Class} the 'Top' 273/235 HP A-Body Barracuda and Darts were running at a best of 13.50's @ 103 MPH.

Had same issues with a 273,,,,,, It was bored .040 over, and the clearances were a little too tight...... I went with a new 3-Row Radiator, and that was the trick.

One of our old 1966 Plymouth Barracuda 273/180 HP 2-Barrel was listed at #2930 lbs. by the NHRA, and was factored in in at 16.27 Wt/Hp - which fit into N/Stock in 1968. When it was brought to the 'weigh-in scale' in 1968, it hit a touch over 3000 lbs., without the driver.

Factory Listed Shipping Weight, As per the NHRA was #2940 lbs. for the 273/235 HP Commando. They factored in at 12.51 Weight-to-Horsepower. The 'Curb Weight', with all fluids and a full tank of gas.....Add +145 lbs.

Toolmanmike, Correct, the factory cast iron 273 intake manifold. 1 7/16" Primary and 1 9/16" Secondary throttle-bore hole openings. The single-plane, low-rise intake had narrow runners, which were good for low-end torque. They worked well with the automatic transmission cars. 1965...

Ed, According to the Gearlord Club who tested the D-Dart at Lions Drags Strip. If the Dart was properly fine-tuned, and you replaced the Inland 4-Speed Shifter with a Hurst Competition/Plus Shifter, 13.90's would have been reached.

Odd, that Mopar offered the D-Dart with a 'Free-Flowing Intake'. Not sure what they meant by that, as the intake manifold was the same that was on the regular 273/235 HP 'Commando'. The Golden Commando's 'Goldfish' and Doug Patterson 'Brand-X' Barracuda utilized a modified intake when they...

Alan, I stand corrected. * Mopar Carburetors for 1966 * 273/235 HP......Carter AFB #4119.........................1 7/16" Primary / 1 9/16" Secondary..........500 CFM * 273/275 HP......Holley Model #4160/ List #3778.......1 11/16" Primary / 1 11/16" Secondary.......700 CFM Originally, the...

Back in early 1966, Chrysler Performance played with several camshafts for the D-Dart combination, one was the Iskendarian "Isky 505-C", which was a bit more radical than the Camcraft D-Dart camshaft. Isky #505-C............... .505/.505 - 320* Duration with 108* Overlap Camcraft...

The Distributor trick, A) Use lighter springs B) Use the heavier 426 Hemi counter-weights C) Total spark advance at 2000 RPM D) Initial Advance at 10* BTDC E) Full advance at 2000 RPM, Total at 35* Use Transistorized Ignition, Lighter breaker arm with a high spring tension

Remember the 1966 Dodge D-Darts were using 4.86 Gears, and had valve springs rated at #313 lbs. with valve open. Red-Line was 7200 RPM, but shift points were 6500. The D-Dart Camshaft was a bit of a secret back then. Many thought that it was a Racer Brown #ST with a .512 Intake / .480...

M-Jo, The 1966 Dodge Dart 273/235 HP cars ran in NHRA Class, and class record. * 1966 = G/S * 1967 = F/S........(13.47} * 1968 = J/S........{13.14} * 1969 = K/S........{13.12} * 1970 = L/S * 1971 = L/S From what I can remember, because we ran in that class, the NHRA Record was,

New York City Transportation Department ordered up 40 'black' 1965 Valiant V-200 4-Door cars from the Plymouth Fleet Order Division. 273 4-Barrel engines, with 8 3/4" Rear-Ends, and 3.23 Sure-Grip Posi's Several were 4-Speeds, and several were Automatics.

I have to get ahold of my Long Island friends on this one. Brodlieb Motors out of Woodmere, New York ran their Barracuda in 1965. It was a 273/180 HP 4-Speed, and was run out at Islip Speedway, and West Hampton Drag Strip out on Eastern Long Island, and later at New York National Speedway.

No 'rhyme or reason' for 1965 Mopar A-Bodies, They were a mish-mosh of combinations when they left the factory, unless it was 'an ordered car'. As for the 8 3/4 rear, it was a mid-1965 addition, and was available with a 3.23 or 3.55 gear ratio. Motor Trend (January 1965)

And Power Steering on a 1966. That is an interesting combination with the 273 Commando. The 273/235 HP engine option was a good deal back then too, something like $90.00 1966 NHRA Class.........G/SA

That is one rare crack. Never saw a 273/318 Cylinder Head with that crack location.
