Looking great!

Got everything buttoned back up today with a "repaired" loop on the blower resistor. Did a road test and with temps around 83 it was cool enough in the car. I still am about 12oz low so I expect this will be pretty good this summer, at least on the highway. I somehow lost the little chrome...

So I got the heater control switch and changed it out only to find that the problem was with the blower resistor and not the switch. To make matters worse I installed an uninstalled the heater control assy at least 10 times. It would work great at switching between AC/Heater/Def when it was...

So sorry to hear this Brian. Glad they caught someone. I hope you have a good outcome with your car.

The Dart is getting about 16 mpg on these county roads and has been almost flawless. The only things...

Did this car have a vinyl top?

Looking Great!

I ended up going with the rubber style expansion plugs. With the motor in the car and working from my back on a creeper I just couldn't get the brass plugs installed. I filled it up with coolant and let it sit for 24 hours to make sure they weren't leaking. I wasn't really worried about that...

Well today was the day. Of not much progress. Started a little after 9 am and had the transmission loose and slid back by a little after noon. I managed to do it without taking the exhaust down. I may have to loosen the driver side to get everything reinstalled though. It was a rusted plug...
