1967 Dart 270 for sale Here is the build thread: 67 Dart 270...Project Old School !967 Dart 270, rust free survivor. Originally /6 with AC as the only option. The Dart now has a 360 LA engine with A500 overdrive conversion. The LA 360 has EQ heads with 2.02 intake valves and 1.62 exhaust...

Wonder what he was eating.... I plan to hit it with a sanding disc and reuse it. I am sure after only 240K miles it will be fine...

I finally got back to the track with a working shifter to get some comparative data between the A500 and the 904 that it replaced. The A500 was setup non lockup and the same Edge Racing 9.5" torque converter was used with both transmissions. The engine tune was the same (timing, carb jetting)...

Anyone know what a A500 (42RH) weighs without the converter? Can anyone confirm the weight of a 904? From searches on the site I see a 904 with converter weighs 129 lbs. Anyone have a weight without the converter?

I am running a Holley 3310 Vac secondary carb on a MP M1 dual plane intake and I recently purchased the Quick fuel secondary metering block that uses standard jets as opposed to the stock metering block with fixed jetting. The instructions for the Quick Fuel metering block provides a table to...

Came across a great deal on a fresh rebuilt 360 short block with zero deck height. The problem I would have is my heads are iron EQ heads with 62cc chambers. Playing with the compression calculators online I would need a .060' thick compressed head gasket to get the compression down to 9.8...

With my current setup, the low compression 360 likes 42 degrees total timing. I currently use 21 degrees initial and 21 degrees of mechanical advance. That seems to be working well, but I am also getting 24 degrees of vacuum advance so I am getting 66 of total timing running down the road...

Hello all, I have been dodging a date with destiny for well over a year. There were all kinds of excuses from "it's too hot" to "but my car is leaking oil like a sieve". The excuse last week was rain....no they really did cancel the test and tune for rain. I got home from work late and gave the...

Hello all, I have had my console taken apart for so long I have misplaced the hinge for the door. Is there a source available to still get just the hinge? Here is the console I am working on:

I have the old front bench seat out of my Dart 270. It is perl white and only has a few splits in the vinyl on the driver side lower cushion. It is complete with sliders that still work. I will make it available for FREE to a good home. BUT...you will have to pick it up. Here is a picture:

I took my 67 Dart over to the local recycler this weekend and ran the car across their scales. I hopped out of the car to see what it weighed empty. The reading was 3320 lbs. It seemed a little bit heavy to me, so I thought I would ask the folks here what their A bodies weigh. Thanks,

Hello all, I am trying to determine the correct pushrod length for my special application. I have an LA short block with a hydraulic roller cam and special hydraulic roller lifters I got from Hughes. I am running EQ magnum heads with thin .028" thick head gaskets. The heads use the 1.6...

Hello all, I decided to try to see if the all-in-one GM style HEI would fit on my 360 in a 67 Dart. The word on the street was it didn't fit or it is extremely tight. In my case it is extremely tight. In order to get some more room I moved the engine forward. I slotted the engine mount...

What does it take to keep the thermostat housing from seeping coolant? I have tried several gaskets and sealers. I have even put thread sealer on the bolts, but it still seeps. I have thougth about going to something with an O-ring seal like this...

Hello all, I decided to create a separate thread concerning the details of the Magnum engine I was planning to swap into a 67 Dart. The back story goes like this: The current LA 360 in my Dart is your typical junkyard 360 from the late 70s with low compression and 2bbl cam. I was originally...

I recently purchased a used 320 HP, 360 Magnum crate engine. I am trying to determine what valve springs are on the heads. The springs on the heads do not look conical to me at all. Here is a LA 360 "J" head with .500" lift springs for comparison to the Magnum head below: 360 Magnum head...

Looking through Craig's List I found a 320HP, 360 Magnum, crate engine for sale. I went and took a look and have several questions based on what I saw. First off the engine had a zero balance flexplate on it. Did Chrysler have specially weighted torque converters for Magnums or did they...

I am thinking I need to pull my stock 360 for a "freshening". I already have plans for a new cam, lifters, double roller timing chain, and mildly ported "J" heads. I will add those part to my existing M1 dual plane intake and 3310, 750 vac secondary Holley carb, and 1 5/8" long tube headers...

I have a leaking pinion seal and when I went to find a replacement They keep mentioning leather. Are leather seals compatible with synthetic gear lube? I use synthetic lube and wonder if it part of the cause of the leak in my 742, 8 3/4.

Hello all, My 8.75 has developed a rather hefty pinion seal leak. I am running synthetic gear lube, but I don't think it caused the leak. Does anyone know of a shop in the St Louis area who they would trust to change out the seal? I am willing to pull the pumpkin and take it to the shop...

What type/size bolts are used to bolt the shroud to the radiator? Thanks,

Hello all, I recieved my new radiator and I swapped it in place of the old radiator. I mounted my electric fan and heavy duty water pump. I gutted my old 180 thermostat to side step any thermostat not opening issues. The fan flows 2400 CFM. It was the highest flowing fan I could find...

Hello all, I am trying to piece together a white interior for a 67 Dart 270. I ordered aftermarket, white bucket seats and now see the stark contrast to the pearl white back seat and door panels. Was white used in any of the 67-69 Darts or will I have to try and dye what I have? Thanks,

Hello all, Some background information: the car is a 67 Dart with a 360 LA conversion from /6. The car has a Summit Racing electronic ignition conversion kit. The problem I having is this: the car cranks but has no fire until you release the key to the run position and then sometimes it will...

Hello all, I am putting together the 8 3/4 to go in my Dart and I have run into a couple of snags. Take a look at the photo. To me it looks like the bracket will be in the way of the piston. Your thoughts? Also, I have converted to BBP axles and got a new set of drums only to find the drums...

Hello all, Should there be leaf spring pads between the leaf springs and the mounts? Where do you get them? Thanks

Hello all, I recently converted my 273 to electronic ignition with the MP conversion kit. Does anyone know how much mechanical advance they build into the distributor? The vacuum advance is adjustable and I am seeing reports of 15-18 degrees of vacuum advance in the distributor. I can't...

Hello all, I am getting ready to assemble the housing and I can't remember the order of the gaskets on the end of the tubes. There is a gasket between the tube end and the backing plate, but is there another gasket between the backing plate and the bearing plate on the axle? I don't remember...
