I dont think I can drop the front any more the headers are only a few inches off the floor as is. Parts for hangers arrived today, but I'm off to Le mans for a week. Yep love that colour gives it a modern twist to a classic shape.

Yes that's my plan. Fit all the new shackles and bushes so I know its all correct then work out how much of a lift it needs.

Yep, you are right, it's not worth making them. Thanks for link. Just ordered from Rock Autos $60 for a pair including shipping and taxes to UK, they arrive 5th June. So I'll think of something else to fix in the meantime.

Im going to replace the rear shackles and bushes as they dont look centred properly. The passenger side is slanted over slightly and the bolts dont look centred I suspect its just a plan threaded bolt the worng size through the spring eye. I can get the bushes in the UK so if someone could...

Right I'm back after a longer than planned pause. Rebuilt the front suspension of a Porsche Boxster that started out as a simple anti roll bar drop link replace. By the time Id finished I've Poly bushed the front end, new wheel bearing and new inner out track rods. so that's all good now. So...

I've been busy on other car projects but about to get back on this. I did run it with the front pulley off but made no difference. As the car is still not UK registered I've decided to press ahead with the other jobs so I can get it on the road and give it a good road test to continue fault...

Yep tried that and it does drop a cylinder one each lead removed. I'm going try another set new plugs goes for a run then check plugs again.

Not much to update as I've been busy on my 58 GMC Apache and changing header tank on my Porsche Boxster. Anyhow I did get a little time on the Dart, it back on all 4 wheels and the bench seat back in place so I could go for a little drive. The short drive confirms it is a vibration but quite...

Went to a hot rod swap meet in Essex 500 mile round trip But found what I needed 2 off dodge rallye rims. Couldn't believe only £5 each. It was a rare find and super cheap. One on left given a quick clean with a scotch bright to get crappy black paint off. RIght hand one needs rim edge...

ok thanks. Think I'll try a new coil then

OK thanks. Now you mention it my msd 6al on my 58 apache has an msd blaster 2 coil at 0.7 ohm. Think the current coil on the dart is 1.5 ohm.

Been to a swap meet this weekend. So no car progress. A plugs numbered and evenly rich. What ohm primary circuit coil with hei 3 or 1.5 ohm. I'm thinking I. 5 ohm ? Bought this book

yep did that numbered them all. All evenly rich, as you would expect for just running in garage off choke

Standard plugs I think, I have had 2 different sets in NGK I recall. I do have a 3rd set autolite I'm going to try. Gapped 35 thou. Also new plugs leads,, dizzy cap, rotor arm, reluctor, coil pickup, coil, Carb has been stripped rebuilt twice and ultrasonic cleaned But I will revisit all...
