69 Dart GT Conv. 340-6pak
This weekend was Tie Up Loose Ends weekend. I focused mainly on the undercarriage. I started with the driveshaft and for the life of me could not find my u-joint straps, so I had to put that off until either I find mine or get new ones.... Next I went on to the transmission stuff. Installing the trans to radiator lines took much longer than expected. With the large primary headers and motor and trans mounted in place, I had to twist them in a virtual inch at the time. I was going to use the shifter linkage that I had in my other dart, only to remember later that I had a 904 in it and not a 727. I installed the neutral safety switch harness to the unit. I finished mounting the 3/8" stainless fuel line and connected it to the pump. I elected to use Gates PowerGrip clamps (shrink tubing) on all my hose connections, and so far no real issues. The fuel lines, heater, and by-pass hoses that attach to the engine are done. I didn't connect the heater hoses to the core yet as I'm waiting on clarification on mounting the manual cut off in line, it seems that the pics show it mounted on the top port of the core and the instructions say mount it on the bottom, so we'll wait for confirmation from them. I was intending to mount the sub frame connectors but the lift was in the way, so I'll have to wait until I get it back in my shop. I touched up the black painted stuff under the car and thats about it. The seats are supposed to be ready by the middle of the week, and I'm trying to decide who to order carpet from now.
