Yah I know, by now he probably fixed it . I found it interesting that nobody said anything about adjusting the brakes as the first place to start .

10 minutes of driving and the brakes are wonky… sounds like the shoes are dragging. When cold how much effort does it take to turn the wheel when it’s jacked off the ground? It should only have a slight drag when the shoes are adjusted properly and the drums are round .

In case the O.P. Hasn’t figured it out by now … The hood trim is ‘66 Dart only. The trim that curves down to the tail light fits’63 - ‘66 Darts only and there are left and right trim.

2018 I installed BBP disc brakes on the front along with 15x7 rally wheels & 205/65Rx15 . Rear are 15x7 SBP rally with 205/65Rx15 .

Here ya go ...

Yep all 4 were 235/60R14 you can see them in my avatar.

All this bickering about some other brand engine being installed in a Mopar … just wait for the next swap in a few years when someone puts a Tesla in a Mopar !

To anyone wanting to decrown a GT save yourself the trouble of filing all the trim holes in the fenders , doors , quarters and roof by starting with a 2door 270 hardtop :)

They snap on .

I just swapped out my 9” front drum brakes with’73-76 A body disc . You will use the new lower ball joints , bolts spindles, calipers , hoses , rotors and upper control arms in the same orientation as they came off the car . Of course a disc drum master cylinder and you will need the pushrod...

Congratulations

Ironically I’m it that cross road with my ‘66 GT except mine is all freshly painted in two tone with all the clip already on the roof and holes on the belt line. So mine will be getting the crown molding. Did you know that Chrysler brought back the crown molding in ‘65 on the Dart GT , it was...

The Valiant has a shorter wheel base than the Dart and the Valiant seat bottom is shorter . Dart seat is 22" front to back on the cushion and 19" front to back at the base .

Yours is a Post Car so the window tracks keep the glass centered and prevent it from moving in and out , so the gap is almost as much as one whisker . On the hard top like mine they keep the glass from rattling when open or part way down and again there is a gap .

Looking GooD ! Yep that was the same setup I had on my 64 GT and my 66 GT . I do miss my 64 . I'm now running 15' rallies .

Well the cat whiskers don't touch the glass on these old cars . It would be nice if someone made them like the new cars where they are seals . But alas that wouldn't be correct .

Well that was handy having a link to DTM , I didn't have them in my Bookmarks . Just ordered the Hood bumpers from them that no one had that were correct for the '66 Dart . These are the ones that mount to the fender and keep the hood from moving side to side . Also ordered other under hood...

If your pads a still soft or at least pliable and not damaged your best bet it to “paint” them . If not the black aftermarket pads are rock hard not pliable. I have two sets from different suppliers both are hard . You’re welcome to one set for the price of the ride .

Tires and shocks make a big difference in the ride and handling . Back in the day the 7.00x13 BF Goodrich Silvertown 2 ply bias ply tires rode nice and made the /6 easy to do peg leg burnouts . But handed like poo compaired to today’s radials . Good luck on finding 13” tires today 14’s and 15’s...

If nothing else it could be a preproduction ‘64 built in ‘63 . Note it has a v8 that means ‘64 firewall. Also has ‘64 fenders , grill and hood . They used the convertible windshield frame and trim and some convertible frame parts also the Barracuda body . This car won’t have a v.i.n. Must be...

Besides the filling pain and holding the nozzle upside down mine would spill out the cap when doing hard right turns and run down the fender staining the paint . My solution was to only fill to 3/4 tank or just 12 gallons in the tank . Now that the car is repainted I don’t want to play that...

Yep

You can save a bunch of bucks by using’73 - ‘76 a body upper control arms, spindles, lower ball joints , rotors, calibers .

Back in ‘66 I had a ‘57 Caddy convertible with 365 cu. in. V8 with 4 speed Hydramatic , I beat ‘57 T Birds no problem . A friend had a ‘62 Lancer with 170 cu. in. And 3 on the floor manual. Well on day after school we lined up and dropped the hammer , dang little /6 beat the Caddy repeatedly...

A built 904 998 will work well with a 360 in any A body . Consider that Chrysler put the 360 and 904 in the ‘78 Cordoba and it lived or the ‘84 police Diplomats had the hi po 318 /904 combo and they lasted . Besides being smaller and lighter the 904 takes less hp to operate then the 727 .

That Limited Edition emblem can be bought at an Auto Zone store ! Heck I put one on my ‘69 Airstream after doing a custom bathroom in it . Got it from Auto Zone .

Give a call to you local transmission shops and ask them about a stock rebuilt spec converter and who built it and about the warranty .

66 front clip is completely different then the 65 . Nothing will mix and match , you will have to either make it a 66 or change everything, hood fenders grill bumper trim and all the brackets . The 66 is one year only so is the 65 never the Twain shall meet.

65 won’t fit a 66 and visa versa !

You could run 225 60R 15 and have clearance
