Thanks. I knew they went to an overflow bottle but didn't know when. This one is a 71 Dart with the 225 Slant 6. Love the car but I'm having issues making sure it's "right". Got a messed up wire from the column so I had to install a push start switch in the old lighter hole on the ashtray...

I have no water in the oil. It is clean. Until I can fully flush the system, then I'm of the mind its the temps combined with the fact that I just don't know what the PO did with the thermostat and it looks to me that it's straight water in there and that's what I topped off with to test...

Thanks for the info. I was leaning that way, thinking it was just build up of pressure. It has not over heated at all so I wasn't super worried about it. I can see that the water pump is newer and most likely the thermostat too. I just don't want to dig into it until I have to on that end...

Ok....just wanted to make sure. I didn't remember on the old Dodge Monaco that my grand mother had whether it had it or not. But I saw other pic on here finally that had the basically same set up as mine but with the original style cap, not this flip valve type cap I have. May spend 5 bucks...

I'm picking the brains of the people who know this better than I. I have the 1971 Dart with the 225 Slant 6. Recently (in the middle of the 100 degree Texas heat), it started spewing steam out the overflow hose coming from the radiator. makes me think the radiator most likely was an...

I'd gladly pay for shipping of a 1920 if you have one. I'd like to at least have one on reserve for parts as I needed.

Love the pics. I have a 71 Demon as well with the 225 but an automatic tranny. I'm still working on it but have to find parts ripped off of it when the previous owner "worked" on it to fix things. Mine didn't have a radio (nor a slot for a radio or a spot for the antenna). It was a NH car...

Don't know why it says inbox full. I don't have anything in it. Let me know what you want for it. Thanks!

They never came up in my search. I'll check them out.

I didn't go with the Tomco. I ordered an Autoline from Rockauto. Will see. It has nothing but great reviews from what I can find. Will know more in a week.

Trying to stay as original as possible. I realize not easily done anymore, but I don't want to go EFI on my 71

I'm in the same boat now. I have the 1971 Dart with the 225 and the Holley 1920. Well today I found a crack in the carb housing and it's pushing fuel out every time it's pumped. Only fix I know of is a replacement. I can't seem to find one worth the money. Rock Auto has some Autoline Reman...

Thanks! I'm going to enjoy this I think.

Nice!!! Hopefully it'll be a fun build!!!
