Rock Auto will sell you a starter rebuilt by Denso. Part # is 2800144. Little more than an off brand new starter but I'll take a Denso and pay up once. Can't remember for sure but think I had to swap a terminal out to fit cables the right way.

What year are the 10" spindles from?

Done. So is your next item of business to submit a new product request with a tire manufacturer to make some real tires in 14" and 15"? I hate big diameter wheels, but the tires mostly suck in 14 and 15.

Here is mine without that piece. I’m the third owner and other than fresh paint in the 80’s it is mostly original.

I have a 64 270 4 door and it doesn’t have that piece of trim. Curious as to what package it would have come with. I would think it would have something to do with the two tone paint available that year or a vinyl top but your car doesn’t have those. Is that the original paint. I’ll agree that I...

Yeah that's what everyone tells me. My car is pretty nice and rust free, nearly 100% factory original. When I find pedal assemblies to convert they look like they came up from the Titanic wreckage. It's not a fast car so I'll likely just use a weber. Previous owner overtightened the hell out of...

What I would like to see is some instructions on modifying the throttle rod linkage to rotate the opposite direction, and the adjustments required to hook up the kickdown. Very few carb choices if you want the throttle to open counter clockwise.

Not my Dart, belonged to Kurt Cobain. Recently sold for $375K. More door with slant, as it should be.

Later 9 in drums are finned. I think they started in 70. Heavier and I would think less likely to warp. I put a set on my 64 and they work fine (for 9 in drums anyways). You can also use 67 or newer shoes and adjusters but have to get a matching set, the shoes have the posts for the adjusters...

I have a high elevation Dart with a 225. I'm the third owner and it lives at a similar elevation to you, 4800 feet. The guy I bought it from stored it in an airplane hanger, and maintained it like it was his second airplane. He tested compression every year and I have the log. At 53000 miles he...

The Aussie ones linked above by Charrlie are about $85 US. Too bad that gets marked up with shipping and such.

Ford Cortinas in Europe got a 36 DCD. 2 bbl progressive with removable choke tubes and no choke mechanism. Had fuel enrichment like some of the sidedrafts instead. You can still get them imported but they sure aren't cheap. Formula Ford race cars run a 32/36 on a pinto engine and get 150-160hp...

What I found interesting was that a distributor was made, not the kit in particular. A lot of the EFI kits these days will run off of a Hall effect distributor which this one is. One of the guys on the .org converted a Chevy distributor for that reason. How hard is it to find a slant...

Anyone heard of ICE Ignition? Aussiespeed has an ignition kit listed with a billet distributor for slant 6. Companies website says there are 16 preprogrammed spark curves. Has vacuum advance through MAP sensor. Slant 6 225 performance ignition kit for non forced induction ICE. With rev limiter...

I put a Pertronix 2 in my 64 with the matching coil they sell. Way easier than all the extra wiring of the HEI/Mopar conversions. Another benefit other than looking stock and removing the ballast is that points distributors are way easier to take apart and recurve. Also no need to purchase a new...
