That is a great technique, I'm going to have to remember that. Thank you!

Swapped a Slant to a 360 in a 64 Dart, pretty easy and straightforward especially for a beginner. Ask plenty of questions and since you say you are financially able to have a project, spend wisely so that you can do it right the first time, will save money and headaches in the long run.

I have a front and rear bench from a 63 Dart 4-door available if the will work for you. Padding and covers are shot but would make a great core for a re-do. PM me if interested.

There is a company called Imperial Services that will convert your pushbuttons to work with a later trans, but it's pricey $$$!! However this really opens up your transmission choices over the 64-65 pushbutton v8 904's. I went with an aftermarket floor shifter when I did the same swap you are...

I will throw in the Avon "Stock Car Racer" Superbird I found today. With excellent condition original packaging and plenty of Wild Country aftershave still left in the bottle. Perfect Christmas gift for the Mopar collector.

Thanks!! Needless to say when I opened the box to see it in perfect shape I was stoked. I also have an Avon "Super Shoe" (liquid hair trainer!) that is also NIB that I got via a white-elephant gift exchange. As a kid growing up in the 70's and 80's it seemed like Avon was everywhere in our...

Believe me there is still PLENTY of Wild Country out there. Imagine how many fathers over the years hit the Wild Country trifecta -- birthday, Christmas, AND Fathers Day LOL! I see this stuff at just about every thrift shop, flea market and yard sale I go to, but the Superbird bottle is a new...

More like Richard Petty's neck after 200 laps in a fire suit?? If it did I would wear it for sure LOL!!!

Good old Avon Wild Country. Never seen this before so I couldn't pass it up for $5.00...

Where are you located in Indiana? I'm in Cincinnati, could possibly be interested if you are close by. What transmission comes with it and is it a pushbutton trans? Thanks -Tim

I want to get the rear end of my 64 Dart up a couple inches for tire clearance and attitude but cannot afford SS springs at the moment. I do have an extra set of used stock springs, can I add a lead or two to the set already on the car and will this raise the rear any or just cause problems? Car...

Unless you have an A/F meter installed, you'll probably be tuning to the plug readings and seat-of-the-pants driving feel. I have read repeated accounts of these carbs being so lean-calibrated that it's hard to get a good tune with them. The online manual from edelbrock has a tuning chart that...

You will get 8 gazillion different opinions on what's best, the best thing to do is first determine what you are going to be doing most with the vehicle and then plan according to that goal while keeping your budget in mind. Take the time to research all the suggestions and then make your parts...

Have you checked the carb to make sure the motor is getting gas? Remove the air cleaner and look down the carb with a flashlight. With motor running open the throttle and make sure it is spraying gas in a mist or spray from BOTH barrels of the primaries. Should be spraying from the boosters that...
