I re-used some of the original fuel line and I flushed it out real good. I had to cut some of it to attach a electric fuel pump near the tank. I lost some of the column shifter parts so I went ahead and installed a Hurst Shifter on the floor. I found the missing pieces later in a box I had...

Its from Ledfoot Racing, its a champion radiator, 3 row core with dual 10' fans rated for 600HP. I ordered it through Pep Boys speedshop in 2013.

They were yelling that the wheels were moving. I didn’t have it in park all the way. I had to adjust the shifter to fix that. Good thing I had the rear on blocks. lol

We’re messing with the brakes now. The hoses were dried up and broke when I started to wrench on them. I’m waiting on brake parts.

The starter isn’t engaging all the way. It turns the motor over but it grinds. I removed it and re-installed it. Same thing. I’ll be buying another starter next. Discount only carries 13” trailer tires but that’s good enough for a test drive or two around the block.

So we just got the car running and idling great. Pretty good for an engine that hasn’t been ran in over 8 years. The last time was on an engine dyno by the machine shop. I’m beyond stoked. We’ve been hard at work for the past three weeks with the goal of just making it turn over.

I measured wrong and was using an air filter that was taller. The hood closes fine now.

Well the Hurst shifter linkage is installed and the headlights came on when the battery was connected although they were a little bit dim. Getting back at it again.

While driving home, I spotted this huge warehouse with a storefront. I got lost in there for a few hours.

The radiator is in and looking good. Looks like it clears the pulleys which is good.

Discount tire carries them and can order. $41 a piece

Is there any Mopar clubs in East Texas? Tyler area here.

I bought new tires for my car and to my surprise Discount Tire actually had the 13'' tires except they sold me trailer tires. Now I can roll it in & out of the garage and onto the car hauler. Im going to upgrade the wheels when I do the brake kit. So I bought a bunch of new parts I went to...

I’m hoping to install a bench seat and get rid of the buckets.

Looking at maybe tossing the buckets for a bench seat. I like the bench from the 270. Has anyone swapped seats on their dart or a body. Just trying to figure out if I’m wasting time.
