So supercharge or boost with fuel injection? Or 318/360 magnum swap?

Thank you. You guys are right about keeping it simple. I was enjoying the car so much that it took me 8 months to get parts and swap an 8 3/4 and front disc conversion/ well actually the car was only on stands for a month for me to do the work. I just kept delaying because the slant was so...

Hey Rusty, do you have a thread for your build?

Rear tires are 205/60 15 and new so not changing those. I will research the /6 318 and go from there. For now I'm just daily driving it and enjoying it. Thanks for the tips friends.

So I installed an 8 3/4 3.55 sure grip in a 1966 Dart, behind my slant/ a833 od trans. When launching in 1st, the car hits 4 grand in a few seconds with little distance to show for all of the noise. In other words, the car is torquey in 1st but the distance traveled from launch to second...

I’d like to add some information about my 66 Dart. Bought a disc conversion from RPUI. LBP. Bought Jegs wheels. Had to install longer studs. Dual master manual 7/8 bore. Adjustable valve for the rear. Stops terrific. Turning radius sucks. But it’s drivable and looks great with the wheels. Any...

I don't know. I bought a 66 Dart and they were on the car.

Plymouth 2823001 poverty. Rare. Very good condition. Fits small bolt pattern. $350 includes shipping USPS. Shipping from Hampton VA. Prefer Apple Pay or USPS money order.

What about a pedal ratio issue? The car originally came with manual 9 “ drums.

That’s the master that I have from RPUI. 15/16 bore. Correct on the connections. The only line that’s 1/4 is connected to the new master large reservoir feeding the oe junction block for the front calipers. All other lines are 3/16 to the calipers. The 1/4 line was originally connected to...

I've got a similar low pedal problem on a 66 Dart. Right stuff disc conversion/ adjustable prop/ 15/16 master/ arms/spindles/etc. Manual brakes. 11x2 1/2" drums on the rear. Pushrod lengths were identical comparing the old single master to the new dual master. Bench bled master/ then vacuum...

Had a machine shop cut the old shaft.

1966 Dart, 225 a833 with 8 3/4. Looking for a decent drive shaft. 50.25 to 50.50 center to center of joints. I'm in Hampton VA. How much with shipping? Or if your near me, I have 6 painted steelies 4 - 13" and 2 - 14" small bolt pattern willing to trade. Believe they are 4" wide.

When I was 16, I didn't grease the driver side bearing after replacing the seal and screwed up the housing end. I made a dumb mistake. Thought the bearing would get lubed by the diff oil even though I was fully aware of the seal placement. My 8 3/4 I'm building has green bearings. So sealed.

Be sure to grease the bearings before installing. Unless your using a sealed bearing.

I did get the housing narrowed, assembled it on stands and then took it apart until I'm ready to install. Then I can take measurements for the rear wheels.

As a postal employee, we are very busy and do a great job. And it's true, taxpayer funds are not used.

Perfect. Thank you.

Good to know!!!

But can you read my mind? But seriously this info on a 318LA or a 360 LA is giving me a path to a cheap V8 for my 66 Dart. I don't need more than 250-300hp to pull this light car. Right now the 225 does pretty good. Man i'm in a good mood. Started a new shift on my job. Get off at 1:30 in the...

And still friendly as ever.

You all have given me great ideas on a 318 build to put in my dart. In the Future.

I'm a fairly new member and have to agree with YY1 about the bashing. The kid asked for help and some of you scared him away.

Good old friendly advice on this forum from a few. but some of the others wow.:rolleyes:

That's pretty crummy that you were sold the wrong part. They should have known. I know you said you were looking for the housing but , maybe you can find somebody who can narrow your housing. That's what I'm doing right now.

Yea, my housing has that hole on the opposite end. I think leaving the vent on the right side is the best way. Tack a 3/8 bolt facing up on the left side and then put the hose block on the bolt with a lock nylock. Or I could rig the brake lines, mount the brake hose to the right side,etc Seems...

The housing I have came from a 72 B200. Definitely on the passenger side.

I too have a 8 3/4 with the vent bolt on the pass side. My 7 1/4 is on the driver side. My salvage 8 3/4 has the vent with the metal piece from the original hose(hose is gone) I suppose the vent could stay where it is, weld a 3/8 or 1/2 bolt on the driver side. Install the hose over the...

Thanks for doing the legwork. Great looking car.
