You can twist perceptions, reality won't budge
My alternator is no longer alternating... At least the Sun is shining!
Nice car but also a nice van 77 i'm guessing.

Nice paint. I use to custom paint new vans and trucks for Chrysler back around 75 to 77 that the car dealers ordered in Washington state. Had one myself in 77 brings back great memories.
You gonna bring it to Mopars in the Park next summer? would like to check it out.
I got the heavy duty over center spring in (clutch spring).
It was a B**** getting the washers off after I got the spring on.
NO, they don't fall out when you push the clutch in.
The heavy duty has a protective bracket along the top so you had to knock the top ones out from the bottom of the spring...30 minutes in a contorted position between the drivers seat, 4 speed, and steering wheel.
Glad I don't have a center console!!
I won and it's done!!

I want to buy a good solid ‘69 Dart I can drive around in the meantime. Just need 10 or 15 grand. Lol.
These pictures are in no particular order, I’m just mocking up my brake lines.
All I want to do is just drive around and go cruising with a manual transmission.

Dropped the Dart GT off to have the noisy rear end looked at.
Took her for a nice drive this morning.....the brakes are getting kinda squeaky - gonna have to look at 'em!

I got my new 275/60/15’s cooper cobras mounted today. 15x9” cop wheels 4.5” back space.
The Dart waits patiently undercover for her owner to loving put her away for the long winter months ahead. No favorites here, first come…. first served, all gets equal attention, a mindless effort anymore nowadays…..lol

Today I ordered a deluxe torsion bar kit, lower arm reinforcement plates and a rear sway bar kit for my 1967 Barracuda. I think I have everything else in stock for my planned winter upgrades. First it goes to the transmission shop for a quick look then home and up on stands for the planned work.

Seems like I've been doing a lot of dirty jobs lately, on to the next. Decided I should start removing all the crap on top of the factory roof drip rail seam sealer. Took quite a while just to do the passenger side.

I know I'm right....
cleaned the EGR passage on the 'ol SC400, getting it ready for smog test. It passed within just a few points last year.......dont want to have to buy cats or O2 sensors for it as I barely drive it. Any sneaky tips to pass smog? White gas, Lots of HEAT, lots of heat (ie, driving it for 20 minutes before you test, and let it idle while waiting...that seems to be the best tip), oil change?

Sketchy...acetone eats plastic and rubber. Ill agree on the fresh oil, Not sure why a fouled air cleaner would make it run lean but....well see what the first test shows before I add paint thinner.

Took off the Slant 6 Valve cover to check valve lash. The old gasket crumbled. Lots of gasoline smell, so after the valve lash and new gasket decided to change the oil... So much gasoline in the oil. New Fuel pump will be here tomorrow.
Cheers!

Took the Golden Oldie out for the last drive of 2019. It was an awesome year of cruising! I put 2500 miles on it this year (my average is ~800 miles per season)! And the odometer rolled over to 19,000 miles (plus the previous 100K)!
