Local tire shops couldn't find anything, tire rack didn't have anything, ended up finding a discontinued recontinued tire, a maxxis ma-1 on a corvair forum. It'll work for now until I save up the $$ for a front disc and rear end swap and bbp wheels/tires.

Delete thread, found my answer. Thanks!

Details on wheel specs/tire size/suspension? Thanks

So I have a 67 base dart /6 with 13's.. well they don't make tires in the same overall diameter that aren't trailer tires.. I thought about going to 14's but the local junkyard wants $95/wheel for the sbp wheels... So for that price I was thinking about doing these.. 15x7 with a 4.25 backspace...

Ok good to know.. Would a '62-'65 choke thermostat be worth keeping? Or just try to exchange it all at this point?

So I got the parts from OCPNW and I think he sent me the wrong choke pull off.. Any idea how to handle it? The box says 66 and I have a 67... I did get the old choke thermostat working correctly. I took it off and tried to use the new one but it would hit inside the manifold. I would have...

Thanks for clearing that up.. the carb adjustment section in the factory manual doesn't talk about that at all. I just didn't want to break it.. again.. They didn't have the choke thermostat gasket.. I have a new carb base gasket that I am going to use. Thanks for the help everyone.

So I may be wasting space but my understanding after reading the link is that I should get the choke thermostat and bolt it up and not bend the arm at all. I should connect it and make sure nothing binds and that's it? How do you adjust it other then bending the arm? Any ideas for a gasket...

OCPNW had both parts and they are on their way. :) Any tips for adjusting the choke thermostat with the thicker base gasket? And replacing the choke pull-off? I am learning a lot :) my dads buddy has a 440 duster and he gave me a ride in it. Oh man. :violent2: And another picture just...

I'll add it to the list.. FWIW I called OCPNW today and he was out of the office and said he'd call me back. I'll call him again tomorrow with this info. Sigh... That's what I feared. :wack:

I appreciate the help everyone. . And the rubber diaphram is torn... Should this have been replaced with a carb rebuild or is it a seperate part? Anything else I can check now? I have spark plugs/air filter/and pcv valve coming.. Maybe I should start another thread..

Should be good now?

I'm 15. I know I have a lot to learn. If you posted this response before I doubt anyone would be said anything. I found the manual online and am downloading it now. I appreciate the helpful post.

Sent him an email. I used the 3/8" gasket (it matched the one I took off).

After the car is running and warmed up if I move the throttle open I see gas squirt into the carb. If I turn off the vehicle and do it again I also see a squirt of gas. After looking at it this morning it would not snap shut after opening the throttle by hand. After looking at the rod that...
