My 70 Dart with tired 225/ one barrel got between 17-19 this winter.

new cars are definitely safer packed with their safety technology but I find it ironic that manufactures make many cars way too powerful. (My Dad's Acura TL is like a rocket ship). Newer cars are easy to drive thus enabling drivers to go too fast, follow too close, zip around corners, park...

70 225 with 160K 16-18 mpg. 63 170 with 170K maybe a bit higher; gas gauge works so I'm not as concerned

I bought my daughter the 63 valiant and she loves it. It has manual steering and brakes. She carefully bops back and forth to high school with it. It is no speedster with the little 170 but enough for her.

70 Dart original/6 Holley Carb.: in town driving; engine is tired, front end is tired, manages about 17/18 a gallon. 63 Valiant: small /6 Carter: intown maybe 20ish.

70 Dart winter beater: so far so good, but I have a short commute and I'm a heads up driver. outside of Boston- 12" of snow last night

I just got a 70 Dart sedan for driving through the winter. How can you tell which slant it has; 198 or 225? Also did this year still have LH treaded lug nuts?

Just thought it would be interesting to know what people have for mileage on their cars and engines. My 63 is pushing 166,000 on the original, never rebuilt 170/. The 68 has about 100,00 original on the 225.

I changed out the thermostat to a 180; flushed out the radiator but the gage still read high although the fluid was measuring anywhere between 170-190. I changed the sending unit temp screw on the block and the gage is now right in the middle of the normal range; I'm trilled!

I only hear about the 225 and 170; what's with the 198 (I am looking at 71 valiant)? Is it's reputation held as high as the others?

Finally got it! heat, tapping, PB lube and much patience. Thanks for the advise and encouragement. I put a super stant 180 in and gauge is back in the normal zone, I did notice a small hole and tiny leak in the top tank of rad. Put some Barz coolant whatever in until I can get it to a shop...

think I will try the PB Blaster and then the Peanut Butter!

yes it is a slant 6: he says the housing for the water pump which is connected to the block makes it impossible to get the drill on the lower thermostat bolt. I am thinking of getting an aftermarket electrical gage to hook up so I have a more accurate reading than the stock to keep an eye on...

I went to change the thermostat and couldn't budge the bolts. I don't have great tools or even a garage so I took the car up to a friend who has a shop. He can't get them to budge either. He says that if he breaks the bolt he can't get his drill near enough to drill out without removing the...

for a holley 1920: What or where is the best place to get the right kit? I have never tried this before but want to give it a try. Thanks
