    Die grinder and bits for porting- it's been a while

    Tips, hints or advice on buying a new die grinder to clean up and port match my heads/Manifolds, plus working on the exhaust manifold as well. 40 years ago I bought a giant electric die grinder and ported heads on the daily. Now it's been probably, at least 20 years? Since I did my last job...

    It looks like you need an adapter to run the 38 on the two barrel intake- I got it from you Rusty IIRC? Soaking the weber now, it's froze up, got my redline rebuild kit, soon as it is rebuilt, putting it on the manifold.

    Slant six single, to slant six double.

    See the car in my Avatar? That is what happens when you decide to go V8. It's never enough LOL. However, my four door 68 Dart is getting the treatment advised here as I type. Milled head, Oregon cams. Weber 2bl, exhaust manifold bored out to 2.5 inches and port matched along with intake. I have...

    Have you ever torn apart an all-original car to build what you wanted?

    worse person in the world to ask that questions. I can't leave a cast iron skillet stock.

    Upgrade to stock Alternator these days for the /6?

    This is very good advice, all of it, not just this one LOL- I know my 68 bulkhead fitting is original, probably crusty as hell. Makes me think I am going to upgrade some wiring first, then yes, run an invertor right off the altenator and bypass the bulkhead connection entirely. When I install...

    Upgrade to stock Alternator these days for the /6?

    My alternator probably didn't come with the car, but it looks like it did. I have been out of the parts game for a while, and going to be adding a couple electrical components that I definitely will like a strong alternator to run! I will be adding AC, probably replace the wiper motor- as it is...

    Going to take the Dart out on a local outing for labor day tomorrow- wish me luck LOL

    It's so low right now that I can't put a floor jack under the K member it is so low. Five inches will make it look normal rather than slammed. 15" rims with 205/70/15s. It will not be sky high, just more normal.

    Going to take the Dart out on a local outing for labor day tomorrow- wish me luck LOL

    I think this will be the last outing for it before I change the rims from SBP to BBP and lift it about 5" more clearance LOL. Will take pics of the car show at our local Puna Kai shopping center. Usually pretty good turn out.

    Thanks, looking through his site now. Year one has what I need, but shipping for a tiny piece of mail is 100 bucks, minimum, I don't think they will ship USPS flatrate.
