1969 Dodge Dart Swinger clean up
Gotta love Amazon. Last correct port shape header gasket set available on line that I could find and free shipping to boot! Now I can put them shiny pipes back on.
Got to thinking about how the strut rod nuts didn't tighten down past the split pin hole and realized that PST supplied the same sleeves as I'd put in my Bee...that has a thicker K frame attachment area. Rubbers weren't really squashed either..
Disassembly and I cut the sleeves down to a length of 1.25". Just glad the sleeves weren't press fit like they are on a B body, so I could easily pull them off the strut rods.
Reassembled. The rubber is now nicely squashed, the split pin hole is accessible.
