History:
I live around Santa Cruz, 23yrs.
Have Had the Dart for about 4-5 Years when my Dad (Owner for 20 years)
Gave me the car for Woking on all his other Projects over the years.. It didn't run and he had to Take off.
I was 19 Fresh outa High school and worked @ Kragen Auto.
The car didnt run. And Hadn't for about 10-12 years near as we could Figure.. It had a Slipped Wrist Pin that Gouged cylinder wall #5 (Sleeved it) and a destroyed piston and Generally CLAPPED OUT Factory 273 Commando 4Speed. We Hauled it. (Bearings Cam & Timing) And the Brakes. (took A WHILE... to get the Calipers) Painted it. Slapped on the Original Carter AFB 550cfm Carb. Shimmed up a new Clutch. Bolted it in and fired it up. RAN! Shitty... Sat. Alternator. Plugs. Wires. Coil. Ran Better.
Moved to Tahoe for a Winter instead
Came back and stared working @ Alpha Machine Co. in Capitola.
Insured it!!! 1st step.
Ordered a new Gas Tank. Distributor.
Fabbed up a new Accelerator Pump and ran it! Advanced.. Ran it
Advanced... RAN IT. Points Closed up Ran shitty. Parked it.
Screwed with it. Ran it
Sent the battery into the old Flex fan and Eploded it! Sat in vinegar.
Quit Drinking
Bought a Holley and some Points. New Squirter. ADVANCED some More!!
Now the Car Effing RAN WELL! and Handled suprisingly quickly as well. I loved ripping through corners sideways for sections at a time..
Spun a Rod-Bearing!!! Saw about 6500+ on a few occasions maybe almost a quart low at times.
RIPPED MY GIRL APART!!!
She has no Drivetrain or Suspension attatched anymore (K-member gone too)
I bought:
5 Wirewheels and Plenty (Hopefully) of sandpaper for the grinders
Some Paint stripper and Gunk degreaser.
A pack of Grinding stones
Some Paint
- Rustoleum Professional Bare metal primer
- Black Semi-Gloss (Suspension)
- Engine Temp Silver (Engine Bay)
- Cast Iron Silver (Master Cylinder, Starter, Water Pump)
