Dont forget thread sealant on the outer exhost manifold studs and the water pump bolts.
70 Dart is where its at !!67 is by far the best A Body.
The GT trim package was clean and doesn't detract from the body lines like the 68 or 69 GT trim does.
It was the start of the entire 67 to 76 dart / duster line.
Far more attractive then Barracudas or Valients

Did you have hardened valve seats put in the heads? Unleaded gas eats the old ones.
Did some troubleshooting on the engine today. Still trying to get the bugs worked out. Here is the run video I mentioned.
And I have a 400 CFM competetion series Carter that will fit on itIf you would like a nice 4 bbl manifold I have a couple, one stock one edlebrock.

Makes me wish I would have held onto my 66 outta my Sat.... cool engine, and like what you're doing! Thanks!Got more engine assembly done today. Got the new pushrods and installed them. Put the rockers on and set the lifter preload (hopefully correctly). Got the timing cover and water pump on. Got the oil pump rebuilt and mounted. Got the oil pan on. The intake needs a better cleaning as does one of the valve covers. Plan to get that done next weekend along with a fresh coat of Chrysler Industrial Red and if there is time, design and build a storage/test stand.

Nice progress! A suggestion while you have your transmission apart-install an A&A part throttle kickdown kit. It makes driving the little 273, a lot more enjoyable. You wouldn't be sorry. I think they cost right at $100.00.
If you are going from stock 2bbl to stock 4 bbl there are throttle cable, mount bracket, "kickdown" linkage and transmission lever diferences.to a 4bbl if everything goes well
