Do you have a fan pulling air through the rad and what is the timing set at? Do you have the thermostat installed the correct way? :coffee2:

I have Hagerty insurance too on my Mustang and my Dart. When I first got the Mustang insured about 4 years ago I had to get an appraisal but when the Dart was added two years ago I did not have to get an appraisal and we had an agreed value of $15K for the Dart. All they wanted was detailed...

Had W10 installed for a day and went back to W7. No video drivers for my card and W10 so the screen was out of wack no matter what settings I used. Maybe I''ll give it another try when I have to upgrade my hardware but for now W7 works fine. I use a free version of Macrium to backup every...

When you are checking the timing you are removing the vacuum line to the distributor and blocking the line from the engine, right? The three notches you see when checking the timing are actually showing advanced and not retarded? The accelerator pump rod being in either hole won't have any...

You still have to press the bearings on this new carrier so you have to buy new bearings or pull your old ones off and use them. Keep all the shims each side in the same place and you should be good but check the back space before and after to make sure. The pinion depth will stay the same so...

I ran into a problem with the springs on the rear of my Dart with the spring eye being larger but I'm not sure what springs are in it. The eye is 1" ID and I wanted to use the stock A body shackles with the 1/2 inch shackle pins. I used Energy suspension 2.2117G bushings but they sell a few...

Am I seeing that video right? When you first start to open the primary the secondaries close further before they start to open. It must be a problem with the linkage on the carb.

Inlet needle and seat in the carb has probably got dirt in it holding it open or the float is stuck. Make sure the battery ground to the body is good for the light problem.

There are many ways around a different IP. Anyone could sell themselves something using a different member name and IP and then give themselves good feedback so anyone would think they are legit. :banghead:

These are for 74 so I'm not sure how close they are. I got this of the net somewhere but the measurements seem too low but maybe someone else can chime in.

In 65 GM Pontiac and Chev used a resistor wire instead of an actual resistor to limit the current through the points. The resistor wire was bypassed for starting only.

Make sure you install the low pressure spring in the regulator for the carb setup. Since you may have put a lot of extra fuel into the engine I would check the oil to make sure it's not full of fuel. How are you installing the fuel return line?

We'll see how that works. I don't think it will be as good as it sounds. I'd pay a monthy fee to get rid of all the dumb commercials.:banghead:

Nice looking car. Check out this site. http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/foundBlackFlag60.shtml
