You still have the old fuel sender? Test it to make sure the resistance changes as you move the float. Then get yourself a couple long pieces of wire. Connect the first wire to the wire at the sending unit location, and the old sending unit. Connect a second wire to the battery ground and...

On my 65 Dart the wheels are body color, front, back and inside.

Do you know if it will work in a 65 Dart?

My uncle has been a mechanic for 40 years, so he was around when the under dash units were being installed. A tool to make the holes makes sense since he knew about someone using a drill to make the holes. Cost the shop a new transmission. My holes aren't that clean. Mine looks like they...

Looks like the holes in the tunnel of my Dart that Sears put in for the drains on the under dash AC.

Here is the bottom of the Sears mount.

I have both a factory unit and a Sears unit on 65s. First photo is the Sears compressor. Still has the factory radiator, no upgrade. Second is the factory. I can get better pictures is you need them. Both cars have the same radiator, so no difference there.

Do you have a write up on the dual 1 barrel setup on the 63 Dart?

When I replaced the one in my 65 Dart everything said 18 gallon tank. It runs out the filler neck if you put more than 16 gallons in it. I measured it several times, no way it holds 18 gallons.

The filler neck on a 65 Dart can be removed without removing the tank. If you can't remove the filler neck in the Barracuda the answer would be no. If you can get the filler neck out, the answer is maybe.

It is very hard to find SAE parts. I'm lucky in one of the local NAPA stores has a counter man that understands. He's ordered a number of wheel cylinders and sent them back as being "incorrect" since they were metric. Since then I've learned that Autozone, Advanced Auto Parts and O'reilly...

Today I washed mine. Here it is in the sun. 15 years of dirt gone, before the a dust storm.

The AC works ok. Or at least it did. Been many years since it was on. It's a simple unit with a bracket to mount the compressor that can only be described as home made. I can tell you that it makes gas mileage go down about 3mpg but the vent temp was 34 degrees.

I was able to confirm the routing of the trunk weatherstripping is correct. It runs below the lip at the bottom. A convertible is on my list if I can find one I can afford. I also want a 2 door. Always looking for blue.

Yes. Mine are 4 doors. You can see the Medium Poly Blue at Driving Again Here is the picture you requested. I think my seal has slipped as I thought it covered the lip. I'll check again in the morning as it was to dark to check after I took the picture.
