the early pump is a direct swap to the later timing cover. see my post #349 above

Radiator was original. I had it tanked and tested. I wanted to use the original if possible. The water pump is for a 318 1970. It feeds to the radiator differently on the bottom. We will use 2 to make one hose that will work.

or just fit an early water pump and hose. the pump outlet is driver side same as your radiator. no hinky hoses to worry about flapping against the damper/pulleys or worse the fan blade.

I finally got the torsion bar numbers figured out.
0.87 110#/in 2071626-7 2535892-3 or P5249149 318 w/ air - 340 std bars
Should be fine for my Dart.

I have those stock in my 67 Dart. It rides nice. My lower bump stop might have 1/4 to 1/2 inch after clearance and 90 percent off the Tim there is no contact.

Looking under the console at the light socket, I see a second build sheet. The first one was behind the back seat.
That's awesome my dad found 2 pristine build sheets in his/my dart. I don't know where he found them.
on your console I have a suggestion that someone passed to me here on FABO - attach the console carpet to the console using wide industrial velcro. You buy it by the foot, it sticks to the back of the carpet and the console - no muss, no fuss and when you need to get to stuff below the console you just pull it off and push it back on when you are done. (Thanks 4spdragtop!)

I want to use a stock air cleaner. Take the 2 barrel to a 4 barrel. I ordered a generic base and cut the stock base out.
Before final assembly I need to locate an air filter that is about 9 3/4 diameter and stock height and do a trial fit. If it does not clear on to a drop base.
