1969 Swinger 340
Sorry its been so long since the last update, but I actually have made progress on the car. In the last four months I started a new job, so the Dart was obviously not the first priority, but I was able to make a lot of headway on the car. The new set of used lifters worked, and I was able to pull the heads off of the car while the engine was in, which I worried about with the minimal space in this car. I pulled the heads and rocker assemblies apart, and cleaned some residual crap out of them, and found the original lifters were pretty varnished and contaminated. Once I put it all together, it purred like a kitten, and ran great again!:cheers:
