    1966 Dirty Dart

    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...

    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.

    1966 Dirty Dart

    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.

    Bench seat conversion.

    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.

    1966 Dirty Dart

    The column shift parts got lost before/after engine removal. My friend was saying that this stuff is cheap and easy to replace. I haven’t had any luck finding replacement parts. I’m lost on what type/brand floor shifter to buy. Mainly looking for something easy to install and dummy proof.

    The car sat somewhere for a long time, its license plate has tags from 1986 on it and I bought it in 2012. It had been sitting in that lot for a year at least. I had the motor and trans rebuilt. Just trying to bring it back to life by summer or during summer.
