Henry's 70 Dart Swinger

the brake warning light ended up being a bad distribution block. the valve is stuck to one direction and i cannot get it to go back. took it off and looked and even tried to move it with a small screwdriver. nope. its junk. i'll be calling the vender soon.

i took it off and my dad put on the old one after i cleaned it really good. light went out...valve good...brakes good.

put the power steering on....pulley does not line up. no idea why. i'll have to make some spacer for the pump to push it forward about 1/2 an inch. which i should do soon because turning the wheel without PS....is a pita when sitting still.

the car is also not leanining to the dirver's side. must be the new shocks....the torsion bar needs to be turn up on that side to level her back out.

anyone know the stock ride height so i can measure?

it has an exhaust leak in the front. we had to use old exhaust flange gaskets...that will be remedied with the new exhaust coming.

the timing is set to about 20 degrees, but we cant get the carb to bring the idle in neutrual down past 1500 for the in drive idle to be okay. if we go below that in neutral and then put it in drive it tries to die and bucks.

i think i need to give it more advance on the timing. maybe like 25 or so. the edelbrock book says if you have a cam it may need more timing. so no telling. just gonna take some fiddling.
