There is a port on the side of the block you can use. goes into the water jacket.

Looks like the one I have in my 64 Dart.

Maybe a hydraulic shop can help you with the hoses. Must be nice to have all that space to work with. :) It even looks like all the header pipes are on the same side of the column.

Of course this is a 64 dart, but there is a mini starter down in there somewhere. Lord help be if I ever need to replace it. :)

THat is why I mentioned you may need to get a Ujoint for the steering as the "rag" joint box is too big. I got the one with rubber in it to take out some of the whine in the steering wheel.

My Apologizes, I didn't know the backing plate was sold separately

Are you sure that's small block ?

Power steering and a 4 speed is going to be fun, had to go with a flaming river ujoint to get that to work, and the zbar still hits the header. Is this an early A ?

A couple of strands of copper wire wouldn't hurt either. or just jump a wire on each side.

also I dont remember when they switched to an external dash regulator, I think 66 or 67.

The dash regulator is in the temp gage, or the fuel gage I dont remember. but if it is working you can see it pulsing with a mechanical volt meter. if the fuel gage is responding then there probably not an issue with the regulator as it would have taken out the gage or the sending unit in the...

I installed a 273 and a 904 in my 63, there was not much room to do this.

The fuel gage and the temp gage have a nichrome wire that gets hot which makes the gage move. Hopefully the dash regulator did short "on" causing 12 volts instead of 5 ish through the gages.
