Being a desert car my 64 Dart gauge cluster was literally turning to dust. Along with being sun bleached. Low buck was going with Equus Gauges oil, water, volts,fuel. Work well and have done 3 cars with them. The little red light near the key is the oil light. I like to have both.Un finished work.

Not the best photo but I did this with a brass T to hook up my pressure light and have the mechanical gauge too. Did this on a 64 Dart 225.

Same as you volaredon. Slant 6 cars that were never driven far daily were known for being a sludge mess. Never got hot enough to burn off moisture I guess.

This is just food for thought. Also I need you to clarify you have replaced the fuel pump and also the oil pump that now leaks. ? I have owned many Slants over the years and have experienced your same problems. Not knowing the condition of your engine I have to assume it has never been rebuilt...

Yes they are available from Kramer Automotive. They are metal .

Check King Bearings. I believe Slant 6 mains are the same as 440 mains.

I completely agree with Charrlie's statement. I guess we are both cave men. Same as when you go into a parts store and give them a brand and part number.Usually the stores own part number. First thing they say is "What car is it for ? " I just gave you the part and YOUR part number,the computer...

It took me 12 years to build a 65 Belvedere with a 472 Hemi.Then it took me 5 years to put 600 miles on it. Too nice to drive too nice to let sit so sold it. Built my beater 63 Belvedere and now have 800 miles on it in 1 year. Perfect for me now 318,A/C 2.76 gears just a cruiser. Get in and...

Post #10 sums it all up for us. I mean no disrespect but the old saying is, "It's your car,do what you want " Just 2 more questions. What year is the block ? is it the original 63 ?

I too was just thinking of the cost to do the swap. Also thinking that you stated that you really don't have time for the car because of your job. Will that change after doing the V8 swap ?

Very true. Even for a guy that has Slant Sixness like me. I completely understand the whys and how come for wanting a change.For me it is a ok, did the Slants enough now it's time for V8. I will agree that you may be able to sell it off to the right guy for a $500 to maybe $800 max if someone...

Chrysler did make Slant 6 727 later in the 70's. Found one in a Dodge van at pick a part . Had to be a 72-76 ish year model. Had no need for it so didn't get it. Unusual to see,thinking hey this is cool.

Remember going to shows and the Slick 50 magic oils had a running Slant Six without a oil pan ? Sorry for getting off track with Don's question.

Here Here guys ! I guess I too am in the minority being a Slanter and a Teen fan.(Just some support) Don, I have no knowledge on the grinding so I can't help with that. I do know that Chrysler was still using that adapter at least till 1968. A local guy bought a 68 D 100 that needed help getting...

When I had my Dart I was running mid 13's. At The MATS Las Vegas show more than once I got whooped by a 18 second Dodge Lancer :mad:

^^^^^^^^^^^ Don't have to be fast,just good !!

Yeah, and I got smoked...:(

Charrlie and I have been into Slants for a loooooooooong time !

I just gave away a peanut plug head. We likes what we likes !:lol:

Just to make it a 2 barrel for better driveability . And yes you don't have to at all. Used to do that stuff when I was a broke kid making a $1 a hour.

I'm all for using what ya got till ya can get what ya need. You "could" do all the changes and used the 1407 "because you have one" and disconnect the secondaries. Thus having a 2bbl till you can find a used 390/500. They come up on all the "Bodies sites" every now and then. Also I remember Doug...

Yes there are other manufactures out there too. Spectre is another. Also Bouchillon Performance The AVS2 is a superior up graded carb over the Edelbrock Performer. If you are buying new. And like Rusty said the 1407 is a 750 CFM.

I would look for a local rebuilder.If you can't find a local rebuilder.You can see if a auto shop in your area deals with Jasper Engines. I have heard both good and bad about Jasper. There are others on the internet but I can't say. Several local shops deal with Jasper without a problem.

Everything that Charrlie stated.In the photo that was a old Clifford intake that mounts the carb sideways. In this next photo is a Offenhauser intake that mounts the carb forward. Both ran the same but makes kick down tricky. Either way a cable kickdown kit will work.Stock gas pedal cable works...

I'm with Charrlie on this too. Ran the 500 on my cars,3 of them both on and off the track. Though I am not a fan of Holley,some run the 390. I did and was not satisfied,switched to the 500. On my last Slant I ran a 600 Edelbrock because I had one. Worked really well but I prefer the 500 only...

You are striking out buddy. After doing this for 50 years I recently sold most all of my stuff. 2 trailer loads went to Tennessee. Don't want to leave my wife and kids to clean up after I'm gone.

I got $100 for a cast iron 2 bbl Slant intake only.

No, it went with the car that I never should have sold :BangHead:

I agree with a stock 225 and no exhaust work to make that 4 bbl flow it may be too much. You can disconnect the secondary's and drive it that way. When you are ready and you budget allows The intake,carb,exhaust really wakes up the Slant Six. The cobbled up exhaust that I ran on my 64 Dart 225...

Actually a 383 from back in the day was no bigger than 600 CFM. Depending on year and carb number. Early 60's 383 AFB's were in the 465-475 cfm range. Chrysler literature called them 500. It was around 1967 that the AFB grew larger and when the 440 AVS came out it was rated at 750. If you do a...
