My second 1965 Dodge Dart.
Masked for painting the recess in the dashboard where the defroster vents sits. The weather today was not at all condusive to painting. Cold and drizzling.
Put the original steering wheel on, I think I need another steering wheel so I do the restoring properly. And now I have some training too, since this one was the first.
The original steering wheel also revealed a noticeable slack in the steering box. I think some of it can be fixed by adjusting it, but I have a feeling that some of it is a large slack in the bushing/bearing on the shaft where the pit man arm is mounted. That is also repairable, but I don't have proper tools for that, and then it is also a question, shall I get a power steering box for it instead. Things I have on my mind.
However, the original steering wheel made it a lot easier to steer, but I suspect my wife will comment on how hard it is.
Does anyone have a picture of the correct power steering setup on a Dart, same year and engine ?
