do you want the bad news first, or the other bad news first? so, you're in the same boat i'm in... nobody makes good 15" tires in sizes for our cars. if you're willing go with a considerably smaller diameter tire, there are loads of great performing pieces out there. or if you're dead set on...

the borgeson is not a "direct" replacement. it needs the supporting cast of a properly valved pump and a coupler for the steering shaft along with the proper fluid lines. while it is a little bit faster ratio, it's 14:1 v the factory 16:1 it's not tremendously faster. however it does have a...

i am undefeated in the free marketplace of ideas. i got a V matic 3 with some parts a few weeks ago, it's not very old and it's still made in yoosah *i should clarify there is a USA stamp on the **** lever. how much of it is made here and with what parts, i'm unsure of.

that's wild. glad to hear you back on the mend. do you know what triggered it?

the AVS 2 would be a great carb for that application.

sounds like you're trying to treat the symptom and not the cause. what's the rest of the cooling system set up?

well at 110 that's only like 1/4 what a new V matic costs, so you buy a new v-matic and it comes with the cable-- that's technically money ahead!

tank is trash-- they set it on it, but the filler neck looked real good. ;D

yo man, don't know if you need any sheet metal but this just hit the other day https://www.pyp.com/inventory/wilmington-help-yourself-1262/1966-dodge-dart/

to me, in the generic sense, wheels & rims are interchangeable if you're talking causally about it-- such as at work: hey how's that wheel look? you get the rims back on that thing? etx etx. in the more pointed sense, wheels mean "steelies" or something stock and "rims" are the upgrade. but...

when i was flirting with the idea of a gasser 64/65 dart wagon my searches lead me to speedway and i was eyeing their gasser straight axle kits. 900~1200 gets a pretty complete piece of kit with either chevy or ford spindles and modern brakes. however if you're looking to go a little more...

there will always be more "well damn, now what" with an old car; that's a mortal lock. on a mag, i'm usually okay with something that's got sub 200 on it, and wouldn't shy away from something that's a tick over. anything in the 150 or lower range is of interest. two known entities going in...

i've run those on a a 64 dart as well as a 68 cuda, with 7.25, 8.25 and 8.75 (in the 68) axles. no issues clearing the tanks in either car.

.... perhaps something...... such as...... this........ might better suit...... your..... needs..... https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=294397&cc=1498100&pt=15174&jsn=502

the HF air body saw is what's up! i love that stupid little thing. i use it constantly.
