Finally got around to changing both pairs of points and the condenser yesterday. Previously I had a pair of points that wouldn't dial in closer than 28 degrees. Initial setting was 0.19", New nos mopar points, One side dwell was 33, the other was 32. Combined at 37. Took her around the...

Do I need to change my Master cylinder pushrod rod for a '65, to convert from a single to dual reservoir Master Cylinder?? It was suggested, but the original in my 65 dart manual brakes looks to hit the '67 MC just right, in the same spot. If I don't need to change it, will just put a new...

New skins from legendary, seat pads, carpet backs, carpet, canvas, muslin and then to have the seats restored has a fairly hefty price tag for the household budget. Will be awhile to have the cash on hand todo it. Try to find lowback bucket covers that look decent is a challenge as well. I...

My original Carter carb hasn't had choke butterflies, nor anything hooked to the hear riser since 1975 or before. The first intake gasket I changed had a solid gasket on one side of the crossover, which I've continued to block off with any intake gasket change. The heat riser defaults to...

The last time I bought points for the dual point was in 2002. The block had fallen off. I went to all the shops in town at the time. The Echlin CS721A were what I ended up with because they matched the points I took out of it perfectly, same heavy duty spring, same metal and all. Blue...

Does anyone have the Dorman or any other part number for the thinner pilot shaft bushing for our 273 forged cranks? Years back, both bushings came in the clutch kit, but now only the thicker one is included. Thanks for any help or advice you can offer.

Like @63dartman I haven't posted in a long while. I log in every so many months when I see a notification from one of my old posts. I've been occupied with life events and haven't done much to my Dart other than park it about a year ago when the rear started making a bit of noise. In 2013 I...

I was up to my dad's hous to help him out after surgery, amd while I was there he gave me an old bike he rescued from going to the thrift store a few years ago. It was a bit rusted up on all the bright work, so I put a fair amount of polishing in order to make it shine. It splits in half for...

Found one and will be picking it up tomorrow. It may end up being a wall piece, until I decide what todo with it ;-)

A guy in the local club offered to sell me an '65 fan shroud originally pulled off a Formula S. He says both pieces are in excellent condition, but wont give a price, wants me to offer. I have no Idea what they are worth. Any thoughts on what I should offer?

Since getting the dart moving again, I've been hearing some noise in the trunion joint at the front of the drive shaft. No vibration, but a little annoying. Does anyone have a source for a A-body B&T rebuild kit? Atlas Obsolete on e-bay seems to think they are gold-plated or something at...

Having difficulty finding a green 20 tooth speedometer gear for 65 & older style. Anyone know where to find one?

I've been having this phantom leak on my 4 speed since I got the car going again. The other day I Found out it is the speedometer cable. Its leaking from around the inside of the crimp on the cable side. Can I solder this crimp to seal it? Anyone ever done this? Or do I have to replace...

My 273 started running a little funky, and in testing, the vacuum advance has quit pulling. I think it needs a new diaphram (although, if I could get little darts running around, it wouldnt hurt my feelings). hehe, Anyways, I dont want to put one of the stamped reproductions on it, as this...

Does anyone have a part number for the backup sensor on a '65 A833 manual 4 speed? The one I have is leaking oil out of the switch itself, and I am looking to replace it, but none of the parts stores showed a part number for it. I'm sure if I can find the part number, I can find the part. Any...

Hi, as my radiator has to be repaired, I've gotten 2 quotes. One for $450 and one for $355 (discounted) (thru Doug Sneider's business (moparts of LV)). Both would be changing it to a 3 core and fixing the top pan/bucket, pressure test and paint. I remember I had a quote on the same radiator...

I started installing the 273 today. Shoehorned in nicely without a scratch. Will post more up to exhaust sound after run-in later in this thread.

I seemed to recall that the paper gaskets on 4-speeds were not supposed to have any sealant on the front gasket and side cover. I just got done cleaning off the front gasket that someone sealed on with silicone (was leaking). I just need to confirm whether I remember correct? Gasket Sealer on...

I've been really busy over the last week working on getting the engine compartment of the dart ready so I can drop in the rebuilt 273. I'm to the point I'm ready to paint. Just waiting for the weather to be sunny and 60 like it was yesterday. Its cloudy today. Thought I would post some pic's...

While I was under the dash of my '65 Dart the other day, I found a light socket that looks to be hooked to the doors like a dome light. There is no lense over this light, but it looks like there should be one. Does anyone have a picture of what the lense that goes over this light looks like...

Well, this weekend I may finally get around to replacing the rear and side seals on my A833 transmission. This trans still has the Ball & Trunion joint, so I know its not as easy as just popping out the rear seal, tapping the new one in and be done with it. I havent hit the book (TSM) yet as...

Well, I started the conversion from left to right handed studs last weekend. I converted the ones on the rear with no problem. It took about 15 minutes. On the front, however, was a different story. Tried Whacking them Firmly with the big Ball-Peen, then a couple times with the little 4'lb...

Anyone know what is the widest tire I can safely go without rubbing on the front/rear of my Dart? I was thinking 235-60 14's on Front and 245-60 15's on rear. Any idea if this will work?
