Anyone ever turn an old Dart into an ultimate daily-driver?

Now for the original Question. First, unless everything looks real good, get new cap and rotor. Replace one wire at a time using the original as a guide. Check air gap between the reluctor and pickup. Get a set of Taylor Spiro Pro wires and a new set of plugs. Run a new vacuum line from the front of the carb, ported (shouldn't have vacuum at idle), to the vacuum advance canister on the distributor. Set timing to 5 degrees before TDC. Adjust the 2 idle mixture screws 2 turns out from lightly seated. Check turns in so you can put it back to original setting. Turn both mixture screws in 1/4 turn in till it starts to run slower or doesn't run as good. Then turn the mixture screws back out 1/4 turn. Test drive to check your work. Second, on a cold motor check to be sure the choke is closed. When the motor is warmed up make sure the choke is fully open. Third, Your Carb should have a cover on the top front you can remove with a screw or two. Inside you will find a plastic arm with one screw. Loosen this adjustment screw just enough so you can rotate the mixture rods down to lean the mixture, then tighten adjustment screw. Test drive, when it surges slightly at cruising speed, loosen the adjustment screw and slightly raise the rods up tighten adjustment screw. Repeat till untill the surge disappears and replace the cover. Fourth, on a cold motor check exhaust valve on passenger side exhaust manifold, if you have one, to make sure it is not stuck closed. At this point you should be in good shape. I also like a vacuum gage to trouble shoot and get the best milage you can.
