sounds like a head gasket...

All of the above and one more... check the timing Lots of good info on this site. Most important is do one step at a time and stick with it... you'll figure it out and have great satisfaction knowing you solved the problem... keep us posted on your progress

Ya good one.. should have made him stick something else in there.. ha ha.. will get new spark plug wires on this coming weekend and have another look at the timing.. thanks again guys.

First off... thanks for all the advise. I checked the carb and its a carter 2681, looks like only one mixing screw on the bottom at the front. I replaced the vacuum line because I had some. Then pulled the dizzy and set the bottom plate so I could set the timing to "0". Car would start with...

Thanks, ballast resistor, ICM box new and rebuilt distributor put in already. Lots of spark but timing still advanced 15 degrees and will not idle once warmed up. I'll get the distributor off and adjust the bottom plate to give me more room to retard to close to 0. Then find the mixture screws...

First a little history.. I have a 67 Dart with a Dodge Aspen 225 Super six transplant.. 2 years no problem. Then a month ago car would not start. Ran all the usual checks and was electrical. Looked like a distributor problem so put a rebuilt in.. still no start so I changed the ignition control...

I swapped my 225 out of my 1967 Dart for a Super Six out of a 1978 Dodge Aspen but lucked out... they have the same tranny, so I just bolted the motor to the existing Transmission. I changed the voltage regulator to electronic and put in an ignition control module for the super six... but HEI is...

Adjusted my /6 valves while engine running. Not messy at all , oil drips does not squirt all over the place. No big deal took 1/2 hour incl rxr the valve cover. I'll be adjusting them again in the spring

Did all this with mine and it made a big difference. You could swap it for an 8 but where's the fun in that.. great looking van by the way ( or BTW ) which ever you prefer

great looking 4 door... your my inspiration

Hey your master cylinder is on the wrong side... ha ha :happy6: but back to the thread, if its the orangey red, international harvester red is pretty close. Got a quart from TSC

Thanks man.. now do I need the electronic voltage regulator,( the 67 is the black box mechanical) and plug too and do I need to switch the ballast resistor , mine is a 2 wire and I've seen 4 wire on some ?

A 1978 Super Six engine was put into my 1967. the 67 has mechanical ignition and the 78 has electronic. What do I need to get to make the switch over to electronic. I have the distributor from the 1978, thanks

What a great sound and looks good too

get between 21 and 25 depending on my left foot, 67 4 door dart w/ 78 aspen super six, 2.25 exhaust is the only mod.

Hey sick.... where did all the wires go.... nice job man, luv the bling

If ya have it drive it... that's my philosophy too, just took the snow tires off mine and have the 14" on there... cars not draggin its butt with the 13" till next winter. ( I took the bags a salt out of the trunk too HA HA!!

lifted mine off this site and got the pinstipe decal guy at work to make them. I put them on the fenders to be different and they look great.. I'm saying thank you too.

I might take ya up on that, but for now she's running great... it's nice to resurrect something off the shop floor. I was going to just switch the manifolds and linkage but thought , what the hey, lets get the blue block in her... thanks again man, we'll see ya soon:cheers:

first thanks to lilhows340 for the Super Six ... Jeff we put it in last weekend, just had to rebuild the carb and still have to sort out the super's distributor, need electronic reg ect. My 67 distributor and regulator is in there now... but she runs great and lots a power:thumbup:

thanks guys, good info for the spring

check Bill Dedman's post from yesterday, " has anybody ever seen this". Check your rubber fuel line for inside wear, gets soft and inside diameter is too small. Not enough fuel under load.

I have the one barrel ,all stock set up on my 67 dart 225/ and am getting around 22mpg highway and city combined. . Have done a recent tune up with new points, condensor, dist cap and plugs... What kind of milage are you getting now

Bill , boy that is one sweet lookin engine, got to love the turbo

OK guys and gals... looks like problem solved. I changed the temp sensor and gauge now reading slightley right of centre after driving for 1/2 hour. Ckeck out my car pics to see my rad overflow. May not have needed it but it looks cool and can always double as a flask... thanks .

Did the top rad hose check that memike suggested and made a rad overflow bottle on the weekend. The hose is still cool to touch when the gauge is in the 3/4 to hot position. I'll get a new sensor and wire ordered up and will let you know. I'll add a pic of my overflow bottle too.

Thanks for the info guys, this cars been running hot all summer. There is movement in the rad but coolant runs slow. I'll flush the rad and do the temp test on the top hose, then take it from there.... we'll let ya know.

I have a 1967 Dart 225 /6 and after 2 minutes of warm up the temp gauge is almost at the end. The waterpump was changed with a rebuilt before I bought the car. I changed the thermostat. I took it to a mechanic to check as it was still running hot. They checked and changed the rad cap. Still...
