Dad’s 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340
Not much action today. My son is at his grandparents for an overnite (in fact, all 3 kids are). I puttered around a bit in the garage doing odd bits. Welded the adjustment rod for the clutch. Painted and assembled the z-bar and installed it. I found and cleaned up the stud for the starter. Used some orange Loctite to secure it into the bell housing. Picked up some miscellaneous fasteners. Oh I got the starter tested, and according to the counter jockey at Oreilly’s it is good.
I only have the one picture of the z-bar installed. Nothing else worth taking pictures of today. Tomorrow I hope to finish the clutch linkage (assuming rehrenberg’s steel clutch ball thingy shows up), get the starter installed, and with the boy home, adjust the valves. Should have the battery cables show up tomorrow too. Then things get interesting!
