Henry's 70 Dart Swinger

small world huh. lol!

well she started tonight! but she does not like to run at 5 degree timing like the book says. it seems to like 10 degrees right now. but we have not messed with the carb settings or taken into account for the comp cam yet. plus the vacuum advance hole was plugged because the old one is crap. the new one should be her tomorrow and we can put that on the dizzy and hook it up. that should help a bit.

hopefully we can get this timing thing worked out.

at first we heard some ticking noise...but it ended up being the inspection plate rubbing on the bolts for the flexplate. it stopped after a bit...rubbed lite groove in the inspection plate i'm sure. no biggie. we had plenty of oil pressure. 65psi. so it wasn't too concerning.

all that is left is hooking up the trans linkage, the power steering, and steering linkage.

one thing i'm not sure of....the brake warning light stayed on when the car was running...its plugged in correctly...I hope it goes away after I start driving it. if I unplug the cable from the distribution block the light goes out. brakes feel fine tough on the pedal. so i'm lost on that one. any ideas??? maybe it is the emergency brake switch....which I checked and the e-brake handle was not on.
