Thank you, Ulf!

65 Dart Charger, a work in progress...

195/60-15 front 235/60-15 rear 15X6 Cragar wheels I've since lowered the rear about 4" at the rear bumper by using a lowering bracket on the front leaf springs. No clearance issues.

I have Doug's Headers on my '65 Dart Charger. yes, they are a tight fit on the driver's side and I had to ding one tube to clear my mini starter. Very tight clearance between the starter and torsion bar.

Is the a/c supplement available in a digital format?

It was part of the Dart Charger package from the factory, so I believe it was a factory option. Ulf, if you're following this thread, what say you?

Here's what the factory trunk light switch mounted on the driver's side trunk opening looks like:

I let the body shop talk me into going with acrylic enamel single stage Wish I had insisted on base coat clear coat.

My Dart Charger has paint code "999", Ulf.

You may be right, Ulf but the hanger is the same on the '66 models without the notch and there is a bumper in the way, although the exhaust may have been attached before the bumper. I prefer to think there was a miscommunication between the engineering and design teams. It would have looked much...

I can assure you the exhaust tip on any of Ulf Andersen's cars is going to be fitted correctly!

I wonder why Chrysler placed the resonator notch in the rear valance of 273-4 Bbl Darts and Barracudas. The exhaust doesn't fit tightly into the notch. Maybe it was a miscalculation on the part of the designers and the exhaust extension was originally supposed to fit up into the notch?

The new bushings provided by Moog are offshore junk and don't even have arrows. There is enough adjustment in the upper control arm eccentrics for the alignment specialist to get the alignment where it needs to be. Go with what you have.
