    Thermoquad jetting help?

    Thanks Moe. I just checked it out and see how it works. Thank your son for me as well. It'll probably be the weekend before I have time to go through the process, but I can use the program to calculate the various percentage of increase and decrease with the different combinations of jets and...

    Thermoquad jetting help?

    Thanks Rumble. Good point. I just got the carb kit I had ordered and it came with good base gaskets, plus a nice 1/4" spacer. I don't have a spacer under the Edelbrock I'm using now, but I'm thinking I'll use this one in the kit when I put the TQ on.

    Thermoquad jetting help?

    Thanks Moe. I appreciate it. I understand what you're saying. I just bought a box of spare TQ parts (for $12) that included some smaller secondary jets, as well as two different sizes of metering rods, so I have a lot to work with. I'll see what I come up with using the formula, but regardless...

    Thermoquad jetting help?

    Thanks again to all. It will be at least a few weeks before I get this TQ built and on the car, but will update the post with results then.

    Thermoquad jetting help?

    Thanks for the info folks. The primary jets in it now are 4095 (0.095s), which I'm thinking may be ok. I know there are a lot of different metering rods. This one currently has 75-1966 rods in it, which may also be ok. I'm willing to try it. The secondary jets in this carb are 5143s. Not knowing...

    Thermoquad jetting help?

    I'm hoping somebody out there can make a recommendation on what size primary jets, metering rods, and secondary jets I should try (start with). I have a 9022 S Thermoquad that I want to rebuild for my 318 four-speed Dart. This carb was originally on a 1974 360 truck engine with automatic...

    Valve Lash Adjustment Interval?

    Thanks 67! That's exactly what I was looking for. I have a '67 service manual & searched the maintenance section for it & couldn't find it anywhere. An online search also turned up nothing useful. Phillip

    Valve Lash Adjustment Interval?

    Does anyone know what Chrysler's recommendation was for valve adjustment intervals on the early small block engines with solid-lifter cams? I re-adjusted the valve lash on my 318 solid-lifter engine this weekend (just for fun) after running it the first 4,000 miles or so, and found them to not...

    what butyl to use

    I had very good success with PTI 707 found on ebay. Easy to apply, easy to clean up. I had installed new seals for the windshield and for the rear glass - without sealant of any kind. Both leaked badly when it rained. After a little research, I found this product. I removed the stainless trim...

    Can you identify these?

    Well, I installed the rear interior quarter trim panels this weekend. I didn't see any place or any way these clips could be a part of that assembly, or the package tray assembly either. I'm thinking blue missile is correct and these are part of the roof rail assembly. I did not have any...

    roof rail trim installation

    Hello. Wondering if you ever got this figured out. I found some clips I think may be part of the roof rail assemblies for my '67 Dart, but having trouble identifying them. I have a thread posted now "Can you identify these?" Someone suggested they may be clips for the roof rails, but I can't...

    Can you identify these?

    Quarter windows are installed, yes. Hmmm . . . package tray, no. I have a new one still in the box, scheduled for installation with other interior trim panels this weekend.

    Can you identify these?

    To pete9857. Thanks. That's kind of what I'm thinking . . . maybe on the upper filler panel covering the interior quarter area - the metal panel that the "fuzzy strip" attaches to. Looking at the filler panels and the quarter window area, nothing looks obvious, but I'll be fitting and installing...

    Can you identify these?

    And, I did have the headliner out but helped with the replacement. The retainers for the bows are similar, but different - and they're all accounted-for and installed . . . I'm still thinking these go in the rear quarter window area, but I've looked it over and don't see any obvious place...

    Can you identify these?

    Thanks again to all for your input. On your suggestion, here are a couple more pics, different angles, with the tape measure for reference. I've checked all of the different areas that have been suggested, but so far, no luck. All retainers around glove box, heater cables, controls - are in...

    Can you identify these?

    Thanks for the input. So far though, it's still a mystery. I have all of the clips for the heater cables. These clips are much bigger than those. They're about the largest "trim" clips I've ever seen in many years of working on cars. I noticed there are two different styles, two each. One end...

    Can you identify these?

    OK, I know, I should have taken better notes, or more pics . . . or both. I took the car (1967 Dart 270 two door hardtop) apart four years ago, and I've slept since then. Fortunately, I remembered where enough of the parts went to successfully get most of the car appropriately rebuilt...

    I have a PayPal account we could use for payment. Will you take $140 including the shipping. That's all my budget can manage right now? Phillip

    Dart windshield seal info needed

    Thank you all for the feedback. I've looked at the links and videos suggested, and at least understand the differences between the seal types and year models. For now, I'll put the glass in with a '68 seal, because they're reasonably priced and available. That'll get me on the road, then I can...

    Dart windshield seal info needed

    Can someone explain the difference to me between the '67 Dart windshield seal and the '68? When I found it sitting out in the desert, my '67 had only a rubber seal in it, with no trim - no stainless moldings, and no press-in lock strip. The drive train is completed, body & paint work all done...

    shift boot

    Thanks, as always for the feedback. If you look at the gallery pics of my Dart, you can tell I've "bitten some bullets" along the way. I don't mind spending the money if I feel like I'm getting some value. I felt like I really needed the pistons I bought, and the machine work I paid for, so I...

    shift boot

    Yikes! When I started this project 3 1/2 years ago. I remember seeing shifter boots and bezels for $20 to $30. I spent so much time researching and collecting parts for the brakes, drive train, suspension, etc., I figured "shifter boot ! ? I can get one o' those later. It's just a rubber piece."...

    heater cable clips anyone?

    OK, never mind. R/T Specialties has them new for $5 each, in case anyone else is looking for these. I got a few at a local salvage yard anyway.

    Heater control pin, ideas?

    Good deal.

    heater cable clips anyone?

    Anyone know of a source for the retainer clips for the heater control cables? I'm sure the same ones used on my '67 Dart were used on numerous other models. I'm sure I could find one (only missing one) in the salvage yards, but if anyone sells them new, I'd rather locate a couple of spares. Thanks.

    Heater control pin, ideas?

    Did you have any luck locating these, or did you replace the control unit? I made some that are very sturdy. I haven't put the car on the road yet, but in assembly and adjusting the cables, they seem to work just fine. I tried to break them on purpose to see how they'd hold up, and I'm pretty...

    camshaft break-in

    Thanks to everyone for your input. Well, I learned a ton. Most important I think, is that it seems I do not have double springs after all, but outers, with dampers. The inner part is coiled like a spring, but flat - not a round coiled wire spring. I did get the special cam lube from Comp and I...

    camshaft break-in

    Does anybody out there have any experience to share regarding breaking-in new Comp Cams - or other brands? I've rebuilt a lot of engines, but almost all in European cars. Many of the European engines have had double valve springs. I've built a few American V-8s, but this is the first I've built...

    1967 Dodge Dart

    I was looking for a project, hoping to build something fun to drive, when a friend told me he knew of a Dart that had been sitting in the same place for 25 + years. We went to see the car, I met the owner, and made a deal. This was a Model 270, bench seat, automatic, 225 slant six. I stripped...
