    The front material needed replacement, took a year to find matching very close sun faid is a fact of life. Would never have found the build sheet if we did not replace. Thanks, Tom

    1966 Dart 225 Slant/3 spd power/MPG?

    If you change over to a super six 2 bbl intake & carb rather than the 1 bbl you will see improved milage between 22 and 24 mpg or better and responce will improve too. Mine did in a "snap" like that, I suspect the 2bbl handles air and fuel better than the 1 bbl. If you drive like you did with...

    Critique/suggestions on 273 engine build

    Well you got some anti D-Dart dudes who know how to abuse, not use a true 273 / 285hp D-Dart engine. If you go to a 340 or 360 it will not be a true D-Dart. There are so many guys out there with 440's rather than Hemi's because they can't afford better. You know the old saying toys for men or...

    1962 Valiant V100

    If you ever wanted to see one that looks like it was picked up by a UFO in 1963 and dropped of again in 2006. Only thing those aliens did was re-paint and clear coat it before they returned it, which wasn’t being done back then. You might agree with me they did a nice job. 170 cid 3spd man...
