1965 Dodge Dart 270 Wagon

Thanks. I'm trying to get at least something done every week. Last week was pretty slow. I'm still trying to decide what I want to do to clean up the internals of the radio. I really don't feel like tearing the whole thing apart right now.

I almost have all the parts ready to go for my front disc conversion, but I need to get a few other things done first. My choke doesn't move on it's own at all and is stiff to move by hand with absolutely no snap back. I'm going to try and clean it up in place a bit, but I think a full rebuild is going to be in order to replace the linkages and get the choke working properly. I really have no idea what I'm doing on that front so I'll have to see what I can find in the manual.

The other big thing I need to sort out is my steering. I can move the wheel about 45 degrees before I get any resistance with the wheels on the ground. I haven't checked it with the car up on stands, but I think I'm going to need to either rebuild my steering box or order a replacement. I'd really like to eliminate the power steering pump and move to an electric unit. I've read a good bit about people using the units from a Saturn Vue with a controller available online for other projects. I haven't come across any A-Body specific information,but I haven't looked very hard yet.

I also need to get something done to prevent any more rust development before heading into winter. Most of what I have are just small spots that I can deal with, but the drivers door has a couple spots that go all the way through. Any recommendations?
