65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery
My Mopar buddy stopped by just as FedEx was delivering a package from Summit- the Addco rear sway bar I ordered. I told him stick around and he could give me a hand installing it and if he had time, we could also install the rear Bilstein shocks. The sway bar install went fairly easy, about 2 hours (which is what one of the Answers said in the Questions section in Summit. I had ordered the 3/4 in bar rather than the 7/8th bar. It clears the calipers, brake lines and from what can see, will easily clear the Commando exhaust. Addco says it fits from 63 through 76, which it likely does.
The Bilsteins from PST didn’t go as smooth as the poly bushings just didn’t want to go over the top stud nor the shock plate stud. It seems the holes in the bushings are smaller than the actual studs. With the judicious use of my heat gun, a socket and hammer to provide the persuasion, got them on and all buttoned up. These also fit from 63 through 76.
My early A gas tank is supposed to be delivered tomorrow so, if so, I can get the Holley sender/fuel pump assembly installed tomorrow and maybe get the tank installed. I told my friend if he’s not busy . . . .
