1964 Dodge Dart 270 Slant Six Restoration
There may be a link here to get a copy...hopefully those that know will post it.
You can download a FSM for free at this site. Your Dart is available there. Just my opinion (which is worth exactly what you're paying for it) it's a really good idea to cough up the bucks for a real, printed version. You won't be sorry.

Welcome. Don't forget to visit the /6 section. Also slantsix.org
X2 on this, these are outstanding resource sites for anyone that owns a slant.
So that said, first of all good on you. You own a fantastic car which will be bullet proof when you get done putting all your ducks in a row. And good job tackling things in priority order: brakes, tires, suspension, leaks, steering, emergency brakes. If it wasn't done on your initial tune-up, it would be a good idea to adjust the valves. It makes a world of difference on a slant when it's correct.
Looking at the condition of the bushing at the top of the shock, I'd be hard pressed to believe the shocks had any life left to them. If you can afford it, this is an area where you get what you pay for. If you're on a budget, there are choices which will certainly be better than what you have now. If you can upgrade it's an excellent place to allocate resources.
Don't be shy when it comes to asking questions.
