Well, assuming it's not the For Sale or How-To section, the point of a post is to garner a response. Therefore, my opinion of the OP's post was asked for...

<sigh.> I have to wonder why some folks need their unsolicited opinions validated by others. Well, if only folks would get my approval before they buy wheels and tires, paint their cars, or modify them in any way, I promise you the hobby would be much better for it... :rofl: Look, almost NO ONE...

OP is replacing a sedan, so I suggested a sedan. Mine's been fantastic, and trouble-free for 90K miles. My 2010 Mazda 3 and 2012 Mazda 5 were also totally reliable, which is why I've stayed with them. I can't speak to the CX9. I don't drive/need an SUV, and despite public popularity, I don't...

LOVE my 2014 Mazda 6 sedan. Good mileage, handles GREAT, and is one of the prettiest sedans ever. Nothing but regular maintenance in 7 years. Not as common as Camry's and Accords, but if you can find one, they're worth a look.

On my '67, the 50-year-old sleeves had rusted (welded) themselves permanently to the bolts, on both sides of the car. After trying fire, lots of penetrant, and a few other alternatives, a Sawzall and multiple blades finally did the trick. It wasn't easy. vm

One of my favorite car shows! My 13-year-old son and I watch every episode. With his calm demeanor, I call him the "Bob Ross" of car builders. :lol: vm

I'll try that next. Thx!

Yes, I had a slant six, so I have practice adjusting valves, and they're still there on my 273. Adjusted them a few months ago, and it ran better, and got rid of the faint popping from the exhaust at idle. Agreed – the SP-2P is crappy for performance, but perfect for max fuel economy that I'm...

Those are all valid points, and I do intend to purchase and carry a back-up Pertronix module for emergencies anyway. I'd also considered running full power via a relay directly from the battery, as I've read that HEI ignition needs full 12v power, and I thought it could apply to the Pertronix as...

First off, I SUCK at diagnostics. I've known since I was a kid that "parts-replacement" is the worst way to solve a mechanical problem, and this situation reinforces that. Even though I know better, I've been replacing parts in an effort to solve an intermittent misfire at idle/low RPM of at...

I (re)confirmed with Rob at A&A Trasnmissions that the kickdown works with 904's as well. Thanks for the head's up!

Will do. The car seems to be original/unmodified, so if it's a 318, it's still dressed as a 273. It also seems to be a fairly low-mileage car for it's age. I'll probably just live with until the future 5.2 Magnum swap (someday). But this little motor won't die – it just runs better and better...

That would be easiest. I did some looking around, and A&A only lists this kit for the 727 trans. I've emailed them to ask if it will work on the 904, but I'm not optimistic.

Really enjoying my 273-powered 1967 Dart Convertible, but I've realized that I miss part-throttle downshift from my previous (newer) Mopars from the 70's. I have access to a 904 from a '74 318 Charger, but I vaguely recall something about a flexplate or torque convertor change between '67 and...

Awesome. I now remember seeing these things on the axles of my Tonka toys when I was a kid, but couldn't have told you what they were called. Thank you! vm

Perfect match(s), guys! Thanks for the help! vm

The internet has been an amazing tool for folks working on old cars, but only if you can figure out what the hell a part is called. I don't have any pictures handy, but on my 67' Dart, there are funny little "washers" that have pie cuts around the inner hole. These are used on the ends of my...

Can anyone tell me the year-range that 42RH transmissions can be found? vm

My 67' already had 4" Pioneers cut into the plastic side panels near level with the seat bottom. I wouldn't have done that, but since the previous owner already did... And they sound fairly good, by 50-yr-old car standards. I also have a pair of 4x6" in the kick panels up front, and an under...

Any idea what size fuse to use for the "sense" wire to the battery?

Yep, I'm using the same Denso pigtail as you did. I'll also be bypassing the factory ammeter by connecting the two leads, and adding an aftermarket voltmeter.

Two questions: I'm in the process of upgrading the standard alternator in my 1967 Dart to a 60amp Denso unit. (I'm also making all of the recommended wiring upgrades/bypass). The Denso alternator is internally regulated, so the factory voltage regulator should be bypassed. My question is, does...

Please PM me as well. Thx!

Alongside the same frame rail, same path? I don't understand. I can't believe it would eat more than additional inch or two...

Sorry – I didn't even know it was possible to replace the cable alone. No, I'm replacing the entire cable assembly, and failing miserably. Yes, the driver's torque box is the area that's giving me the problem, and that may be why this problem is uncommon. Thinking I was clever, I actually...

Can you post a few more pics of the car? Looks great, from what I can tell! vm

Got my kit yesterday. Top notch work, quality materials, and clear, detailed instructions. LOVE that it's "plug and play" as I'm not a wiring/electrical expert. Next will be a convertible top relay kit! Thanks for offering these, Rob! vm

Here are pics: Lemme know if you're interested in a trade! vm

I've got an Performer intake in good shape that I no longer need, and I really want one of your headlight relay kits. Definitely love to do a trade. Just let me snap some pictures this evening, and I'll post them ASAP. BTW, your mailbox is full... vm

They can be found all day long with a pump on ebay. Just search for a pump from a van, and look at the pics. Cheapest, easiest way to go. I found one in a few minutes for $36 shipped – about what I expected to pay for a bracket alone.
