Sorry everyone I sold the whole lot to a local guy that has a 66 and is restoring it with his son. Best of luck on the search everyone

Ok, so im writing this as I wait for the tow truck so please disregard any typos. I searched this amazing forum and found four threads listed the same but my issue is a little different. Everything was fine, I stop at the gas station fill up and start the car and hear the starter still going...

They were only talking about knurling the guides because it would cost about $65 for the set as opposed to over $200 to replace them. I got another place that I am going to give a shot on Monday.

Cudavert you say this because of the larger combustion chamber? From what I see the heads I have now are 57-64cc while the numbers for the above are 64-71cc.

Do you know what years of 318 heads will work? I found some on ebay that look good, casting number 4027163 from 1984.

Got word from my local machine shop. Heads are shot. Need complete work, new valves, guides and the seats are sunken. So im looking at alternate ideas. Earlier someone said if I went with eddy's I would have to modify my block for the valves to clear. I have since discovered that the cylinders...

I have a 66 Dart 273 convert as my daily driver. It has 40 over flat top pistons with hydraulic lifters (and I assuming hydraulic cam as well). I took my heads (920's) off my small block 273 and the machine shop said they are completely worn and will need new valves, guides need to be rolled...

Way to bring me back down to earth 65val. Does this mean stock head gaskets won't work?

Sweet! So my 273 has the good 920 heads, is overbored 40, this is nice... I'm guessing it doesn't have a stock cam, can I ID the cam with it still in the engine?

I just removed my 920 heads off the 66 273 dart. I'm trying to thread to help id the pistons. They have 4 valve reliefs and say 040 on the dome. I'm really mostly curious what the 040 means and it there is any way to tell if they are stock

Victory! Just when I thought I was going to go on a rampage I managed to get it. We unbolted the exhaust manifold and used a crowbar to lift it up about two inches and that was just enough to get my socket wrench under the manifold and onto the final bolt. Both heads are off and will be at the...

Thanks for the input, im gonna try at it today after work. Sorry for the mix up I have stock exhaust manifolds, I wish they were headers. And yes the manifold is unbolted from the head. Today I'll try andlooden the manifold at the collector and see if that helps then jack the engine up like a...

I should have been clearer. I can get all the bolts of the heads except for the bottom center head bolt. The exhaust manifold get in the way. Thats the bolt i gotta get off. Its torqued on tight enough and at a strange angle that i just can't get it off. Hoping for some trick to get that bolt off

I gave a '66 273, with power steering. Block number 2465330, head number 2658920. I managed to get the passenger side off with out too much trouble, but this driver side is causing some troubles. My hands are bloody and bruised so before I started breaking things I thought I would ask ya'll for...

possibly ou812 but I prefer to work locally when I can. Just got the block number, 2465330. I have the passenger side head off but am having some serious trouble with the driver side head. I'm gonna start another thread looking for ideas on best way to remove the head.

I've seen ppl talking about how I would be lucky to have the 920's and my heads say 2658920. Am I really lucky and more importantly why am I lucky???

I did the leak down test on the driver side bank, here are the results. 1- 50% (some leak from exhaust and a decent amount from the dip stick) 3- 65%(leak from exhaust and dip stick) 5- 85% (leak from exhaust and intake) 7- 80% ( leak from exhaust and a little from the dip stick) So overall...

I'm no expert but it doesn't seem rigt to fix just the one cylinder. Because chances are the others could use some work also. Now the tricky part of trying to find a machine shop in Seattle. For those in Seattle, im trying to find a shop in the Ballard area, any suggestions?

heads: 2658920-3 also had 01216 year on block: 11-11-65 vin lp27b62501036 trans: 948-2 With the headers, power steering and brake booster it will be hard to see the block number from above. Hopefully I can find my jack (just moved to a new house) and get that to you all thus weekend

So I took a quick look for the EIN and couldn't find it without hacking the car up. Where can I find it on the block? I was able to find the casting date and it is 11-11-65. Found that on the passenger side.

At this point I am leaning to simpler for now and wait till later to get the power and the 360 going.

any guess on how much to have the heds rebuilt? Im out in Seattle, WA

Thanks for all of the feed back everyone. I think I will try to do a leak down test this weekend to get a better idea of what is actually going on. I will also pull the engine/head numbers this weekend. Then if it points to replacing the heads I will look for a 273 replacement heads (or if I...

JBurch, could you elaborate on the notching of the cylinder, I am not sure that I follow what you are getting at. And C130 Chief, if it will cost be just about the same to rebuild origionals as it would to buy new aluminum heads then I would definately go for the lighter weight heads. I know...

Ok so I have had issues for a while with my 273 and I finally decided to have my mechanic take a look and he quickly found my problem. The number 5 cylinder has little to no pressure. He said he put his thumb over the spark plug hole, cranked the engine and it didnt even push his thumb off the...

Fishy, thanks for the advice, I will check it out. It makes sense to me, to adjust the carb while it is in D as this is where the car is most of the time and where I am having troubles. What about adjusting the timing, there shouldnt be a difference if it is in P or D right? On a side note...

bought it two years ago so I don't know if it's the stock cam. I rebuilt the carb (600 eddy) two weeks ago I checked for vacuum leaks a month ago, no noticanle leaks, but we all know those can be tricky. If I had access to another 4bbl carb I would switch it out. when o get home I'll post a...

Normally i adjust thr carb with the engine fully warmed and in P. I can readjust the carb with the car in D but like I said the engine seems great its just when I come to a stop after driving the engine feels like it's being held up and just dies. I will check the compression, its been on my...

I have been dealing with some issues for a while with my 66 Dart 273 automatic. I have rebuilt the carb, new fuel pump/filters, Found TDC and adjusted the timming. All of this seems to make the engine run better which is great but I am still having the following issues... PROBLEMS: Car starts...
