"Bolt action." :lol: Wait - it had an 8 3/4 for that? That's gold around here. [ed., wait - I just picked up on that you're installing that. Derp.]

Sweet! Do you know the year? How are the threads for the valve cover bolts? Got any pics of the top and bottom?

Peanut plug type! Thanks so much for the offer - and I may ping ya if I can't find one with the tubes. That one looks clean!

Hi everyone! I'm in central Iowa, but I can drive a distance for the right buy (a good prospect lies nearly six hours' drive away; I make this post to avoid that, if I can). I'm seeking a replacement head in conjunction with an upgrade to my 63 Dodge Dart's /6 225 to the super six setup with...

I've always thought these fuse boxes (pegged as 63-69 Valiant, Barracuda, Dart under dash fuse boxes) would be good candidates for 3d printing, but haven't seen anyone do it yet. I don't know what volume/price/margin would justify the effort.

Greetings all. I'm in central Iowa. In 1993ish my dad wouldn't let me buy a 4-door Dodge Dart for my first car (for $400 - probably still only worth that), and I've had a grudge about it ever since. Finally was able to swing the time/space/bandwidth to add a driveable(ish) 1963 convertible...
