I have posted an ebay auction for this car. It is extremely clean and solid, including baseboards, frame, trunk, etc. Here's the eBay auction link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250764344104 I bought this car about a year ago from a guy who found it six...

Thanks for commenting. It really is probably a steal based on what I have seen out there. I've been keeping track of gas mileage and get about 21 average. The car is a great driver and I have been using it that way about 3 days a week since last spring. It just goes and goes and goes.

If my thermal sensor (on the air cleaner) is not opening the little trap door when it's closed, are there replacements out there? Can it be removed and fixed? Any tips or suggestions are most welcome.

Dan- if I upgrade to the 73 manifold as I'm thinking I'll do, and convert to Electronic Choke - would my kit be 1231? In that post it says: "For all slant-6 applications with 1bbl carb from 1960 through 1972, the kit number is 1231." I have a 1bbl carb for 72. Why did you recommend 1233...

Dan, thanks. Always great advice. I got the gaskets you had recommended in another thread - from Australia. So I think I'm good there. I sent a PM on the manifold. I think I'll do the upgrade on this thing and put a new one in there.

All, I have finally acquired the right gaskets for my manifold-to-head and -to-intake. Quick question - I plan to use the factory service manual to do the job, but are there any tips/tricks with respect to the carburetor? Does it basically just unplug from the hoses and unbolt? Am I...

Thanks all for the advice. I actually learned a lot about a few other things I need to do anyway like the clutch adjustment. Turns out it was a hose that came loose under the aircleaner. I'm not sure what that's called that it's attached to, but I stopped for gas this morning and finally had...

Thanks. Had to laugh on the rattler comment. Let's hope it's not that. Although that rattler dies down after the key is pulled. I'll check it out more thoroughly this weekend. Anyone have simple instructions on the clutch adjustment?

So just recently, as in last evening, I have a noticable hissing sound coming from what sounds like right in front of the dash/firewall - although I can't confirm location. When I have heard this in other cars it usually means my brake booster is going. Trouble is with this car I have no...

Hey thanks for the help here. Looks like I have my Thanksgiving project now. Just need to buy the beer. I bought both gasket kits and will give it a shot.

I have a 72 base Dart, 4 door, slant six, NO options. No PS, A/C, etc. Very stripped down model. I'm getting water in the car on driver and passenger side from under the dash in heavy prolonged downpours. I'm going to try to seal the windshield first and see if that works. But I'm...

Thanks. Yes it is just a stock AM one speaker radio. Not really a big deal if I don't fix it - the slant six sings it's own tunes. But, I did do what you said and still no sound. I get power into it, but nothing out the speaker.
