Update on My 64 Dart project

Well, I'm back. Got the tranny out last weekend and found that I have too much clutch travel. The fingers were hitting the springs on the disk. I went ahead and changed out the TO bearing just in case. I'll need to fab up a stop for the clutch arm. The focus now is getting the torque arm re-engineered. I have a problem with alignment between the inner fender mount and the mount on the bell housing. The original mount I got from Brewers was hacked trying to make it work. At the time I was working on this the car was on jack stands with me lying on my back. Now, I have the car on a lift which makes it easier to look at the torque arm at different angles.

Yesterday, I went ahead and ordered another bell housing bracket from Brewers. The plan is to start from scratch. Between several of us we should be able to solve the problem.

I also removed the 1 5/8" headers so I can start to do a little more trimming for the new headers. Those 1 3/4" tubes are a little bigger. I may have to re-route one of the tubes on the driver side to clear the master cylinder.

I also decided to hold off on a cage. I want to run the car this spring at the track to dial everything in. I need to consider weight. If I pursue running at Bonneville with this car I may only need a 4 point.
