Pull the drain plugs out of each side of the block and put radiator petcock with the same pipe thread back in the block. Then the next time you have to drain it, you just open up the 3 petcocks, the one in the radiator and the two in the block.

Sorry guys, my grammar has been fading in my old age, and some times spell check doesn't help. I will go back and fix my spelling.

Glad this all worked out for you. Now go do some gear jamming and some long haul cruising, and enjoy that beautiful Dart.

The HP70 and HP90 are the 8spd auto transmissions that are in the new Dodge trucks and cars since 2014 for trucks 2015 for cars. ( the HP70 comes behind the 5.7 and 6.4 and the HP90 comes behind the 6.2 supercharged engines) From what I have heard there is two outfits that are making stand alone...

Newbomb Turk, What it all came down to is UTG put out a video about an article that Smokey Yunick wrote about knurling piston skirts to free up horse power. But UTG said in the video that he has never done the piston knurling thing, but Smokey said it worked. So all the UTG haters came out in...

I have to edit my post, in the one sentence i meant to say the Cal-Trac bars are in the top hole not the springs. The Dart is not tubbed, the spring were moved the 1/2 to 5/8 inches over against the stock frame rails. I get about 1 1/2 to 2 inches of rise out of the rear suspension at the hit...

My first thought is to get rid of that CenterForce clutch ( they are only good for one thing breaking driveline parts) or at least the disc and put a rag disc (organic disc) in the car and a Clutch Tamer or a Soft-Loc clutch( adjustable slipper clutch). Either one will soften the hit and keep...

I don't know about the 7 1/4 rear axles after 1970. But the 1969 and back I do know use a shim pack to set the pinion bearing preload, and that's why it is calling for 240 lbs/ft to set the preload on the bearings to 15 to 25 lbs/inch. Just like the 8 3/4, the 741 and 742 cases used shim...

I just remembered, with the Quick Time I had to buy an extra block plate an cut the center out of it, to space the bell out enough for the swing on the counter weighted levers on the pressure plate.

The Quick Time was a lot better, I bought the Mopar dowel pins with the three sizes .007 .014 and .021 and dialed in with the .007 dowels, if I remember correctly it was just to limit of what is usable and I dialed it to as close to zero as I could get it.

Brewer's are excellent people to work with, you could even get the the Soft-loc through them. I have purchased quite a bit through them and always received great serves over the years. My first bellhousing I bought was a Lakewood at swap meet, that bell was a ***** to get aligned, had to drill...

I have Mcleod lightest soft- loc clutch you can get, Don't even know if the pressure plate I have is still available. With a slipper clutch, I have found that lighter is faster. When I leave the line at 4800, the RPM's of the engine drop 300 to 500 RPM's. By the time the car moves a car...

Yes to the Cal-Trac, The Dart has a 10.43 compression 416 ci sm block, with pored Indybrook heads and a 256/262 .668 lift roller cam, 1 7/8 fenderwell headers into a full 3 inch x pipe exhaust back to a set factory looking tips under the rear bumper and I never uncork the exhaust. I run a Jerico...

Beautiful Demon, always wanted one, but I have had my 66 Dart for 26 years now and really can see replacing it after all these years, It's been a faithful friend for what I have put it through.

Yes, McLeod makes the Soft Loc clutch, that's what I use. I run a single 10 inch sinter iron disc , aluminum flywheel, and the full adjustable pressure plate with an aluminum pressure ring and steel hat.
