As the tool man hinted at, there was no such thing as a "Commando" Dart. Commando was a Plymouth name. The same engine in a Dart was the Dart Charger 273. The car I posted above was a non-console four speed 235hp car. D/Darts (275hp) did not come with a console, but were all four speeds. Interestingly enough, the 275hp motor was not available in a Plymouth. The emblems on a Dart were 273 four barrel (both horsepower versions). On a Valiant or non-Formula S Barracuda you got Commando V8 emblems. On a Formula S you only got the "S" emblems.

I know it's just a name for the same engine but the 273 in your "Dodge" is a Charger 273 and not a Commando.

Assembly line worker grabbed one out of the bin. Rumor has it, many of the factory workers were stoned during their shift.

Yes and if they ran out of parts they just used whatever they had. I've seen a lot of mismatched parts on GM vehicles. They really went crazy!
