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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

So I've recently noticed that I am really lacking in the top end power. When I open up the throttle the last 1/4 has no power gain, and if I let off the throttle a bit I have more power. Im thinking it might be timming? I am currently running at 10 degrees BTDC. The book says I whould be at 5 (I...

So my gas and temp guage max out to the right when I turn the power on. I have bypassed the amp guage a while back and have not had any problems, but I am assuming it is something related at that point. But before I get under the dash again what would cause those guages to max out. Would it be...

So Ive been upgrading my daily driver for about a year now and its time to fix the leaf springs. From the pictures you can see that the driver side is shot. It is a solid 2 inches lower. I cant go over bumps if there is someone sitting in the back seat. And if I floor it the the wheels rub in...

So Im sure this sounds dumb, but I am having trouble findin the right oil filter. According to O'Rielys I need to use the Fram PH8A. But this looks too short and the circumfrance is much larger than the one I have on my car already. Im thinking it looks more like the Fram HP1. They dont look...

So a while ago my engine was constatly running too hot. I replaced the thermostat and now it runs far on the cold side. Is this a problem that I should worry about? Or just be happy its not running hot anymore? I have a 66 dart with a 273 no A/C Thermostat was replaced with a 160F I believe My...

I have a 66 dart that I changed out the rearend so I could do a brake conversion. Currently running Yukon axles and have the green bearings on the 8.75. This conversion was about 6 months ago now and I have a leak on the driver side axle making one hell of a mess and will have to get new break...

Oh so many things to fix.... So it is time to tackle the leaks. Up first is the drip over my left foot. You know... That one that drips from somewhere above the fuse box. Not to east to see up there but Igor some ideas. I hear a lot that water like to slip by the wiper blade pivots. But I...

I am wanting to convert over to disc brakes all around but am running into some troubles. All the kit I have found require the 8 3/4 or the Dana rear ends. I am pretty sure I got the 7.25 on my 66 v8 dart. Really I am jsut looking for the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. Though at some point I was wanting...

I live in Settle, WA. Replaced the intake manifold, carb, air cleaner, and valve covers on my 66 dodge dart V8 273 cid and I am selling the stock parts. This is the v8 with the standard bolt angles not the weird angles in the earlier years. Follw link to photobucket album...

I drive a 66 dart gt convert as a daily driver with the 273 v8. I am replacing the stock intake manifold and 2 bbl carb with edelbrock preformer intake and 4 bbl 600 cfm carb. I got the intake off today and found 2 ports nearly fully clogged with oily carbon deposits. My question is, what are...
