plenty of room. It’s been put back together and on the road for about 2 weeks now, but of course now the O ring on the distributor is leaking like crazy lol.

So here is what I ended up doing for my senders and works great. Still working on tidying up wiring and what not under the hood. I used the Autometer 2271 adapter for the water temp sender. Thanks for the help and input!

Yes, but I’m adding an aftermarket one so I can see exactly what my temps are for summer time driving in traffic. ya I know, it’s been awhile lol. The car has been put away for 6+ months.

Would this autometer adapter threaded into one of these 3(circled holes) in my edelbrock intake work as a good spot for my autogage temp gauge sending unit?

Got all the plug wires made and ran, along with the heater hoses and brackets. Looks much cleaner and everything doesn’t just sit on the valve cover. Get all the winter time bugs worked out of it again and start daily driving it!

Haha I don't know why I typed trans breather LOL. I just wasn't sure what was supposed to be there. what are you guys doing with it if you have aftermarket valve covers? my breather is driver side. anyone have pics of it hooked up and plumbed?

Another thing... what is the proper filter for the end of the trans breather?

I committed a sin and had a pair of long needle nose pliers in my back pocket when I hopped in the Dart the other day and poked a hole in my seat. It’s not a show car or anything close but the seat was near perfect shape. Is there any stitch kit or stick on or iron on patch kit that’s decent...

Thanks! that's exactly what I was looking for!

extremely tidy! what did you use to mount the wires to the valve cover?

ya this definitely isn’t anywhere close to a concourse car. Just a good old fashioned driver quality car. Good to know on those brackets thanks

looks great! Super clean

Not sure this is the correct forum page for this... In my 71 swinger w/ 318 I am replacing the plug wires and want to re-route my heater hoses. Just going to run accel 8mm wires, and more curious how you guys are routing your wires mainly on the driver side to clear the taller exhaust manifold...

Yes it is definitely sloped. And it does not usually have that big gap above the tire.
