Top Ten things to do first on your "NEW" 1963 Dodge Dart Covertible

Hideogumperjr said

So I have been wondering what would be the first things one would suggest to do on you new car.
I started with my going through my brakes, wheel cylinders and shoes, then converting to the dual MC, valve adjustment, plugs and tuning.
What do you suggest the highest priority items to address?
Cheers and Thanks!

Well, for me....I would get rid of the 13" wheels/tires (and go 15") as soon as they're worn out, then add an electronic ignition setup from MP and maybe even play with the carb, just to make sure it's running as efficiently as possible, but that's me. When you tuned it, did you change the plug wires? I'd also check the diff oil, trans pan gasket for leaks and grease everything, including trans and throttle linkages. How's the coolant look? I'm also a sucker for headers on slant 6's too, just to make it sound nice, but certainly isn't a necessity!

Oh, and as Trapster mentioned, those rear springs look saggy!
