Appreciate the reply. From what I can tell, My dart engine is stock besides the pertronix ignition. The PO added a fuel level guage since the original wasn’t working. I’m still learning what’s been done to this car so just trying to work thru it. You referenced a thread posted by me about a...

Hey guys. Frustrated because I’m having trouble figuring this out. 65 dart gt slant 225. All stock besides Petronix ignition. My bearing went bad in my square back alternator. I have two wires in addition to the battery wire. The two wires are green and other is white. On the replacement...

Yea I did a few weeks ago and it was about 130 each cylinder. When I did the valve adjustment did .01 and .02 intake and exhaust. Fully warmed up, valve cover off that’s how I did the adjustment. Did make it run a little smoother. Thanks for the response

Sorry I’ll clarify. No noise as in no excessive ticking or what would sound like too much play. Sorry should have used better choice of words

Ok guys I’ve done quite a few things since this post to cure the rough idle. Totally rebuilt the carb, set the float correctly, soaked, blew out, clean everything. I adjusted the valves fully warmed up, doesn’t make a sound now. Installed a brand new Petronix module, rotor, and magnetic sleeve...

Hey guys. On my 65 GT, I have the seats adjusted as far back as possible. I’m 6’3 and it’s just too far forward still. Anyway to get them back anymore? Has anyone else had this issue?

Yep it does seem to work properly

Relax I haven’t checked it yet. I answered the second part of your question

this is fully warmed up 180 degrees has a functional pcv No power brakes Carter single barrel correct for the year carb Choke fully off No vacuum lines to carb. Only lines are vacuum advance and pcv when it’s cold and choke fully on, if I rev it hard it blows black smoke once warm and choke...

Regular fuel. Just never seen bubbles like that in a filter

Idle is rough really no matter where I set the rpm. Smooths out when I give it some gas though

Closing the choke does not help it and makes it worse. In fact, when it’s idling rough, opening the choke helps it much more

No vacuums leaks. Has good power. Just at idle it runs a little rough. It gets better as it warms up but once warm it still shakes some. It’s pretty bad when it’s cold and will spit some black smoke before the choke opens up but once open all the way, still a little rough

Hey guys. 65 dart 225 slant 6 automatic on floor. Stock carrier single barrel, Petronix ignition. New plugs and wires. The engine runs well cruising rpms but at idle, it’s shaky. Compression is 130 all cylinders basically. I noticed air bubbles in the fuel filter. Could this be my cause for the...
