The Other 68 Dart Resto Project
I am getting ready to fire it up, tested the starter, engine turns over.
Filled all the fluids.
Pressurized the oiling system, dumped a quart on the ground, spead oil dry. DOH!
Replaced master cylinder, old one was frozen, no fluid coming out, new one only cost $18.99!?!?! Cheapest thing I have bought yet! Powder coated the cap chrome silver. Have a major leak at the prop valve, its a pain to get to, will do that later, but i'm not starting the engine without brakes, learned that lesson years ago in an old Pontiac.
Finished the dash, rewired a few things to my preference, moved high beam switch to the dash, added electric fan override switch.
Got the old chrome 70's era Mopar valve cover powder coated yesterday. I threw on the mopar stickers last night, not sure if they are staying yet.
Had to go through 3 dipsticks, broke the first one, second one too short, bought a new chrome mopar dipstick, it was a ***** to install.
Final wiring. Need to move the maxi fuse, its cover by the fender, no way to change it if it would ever blow. Doh!
