PM sent for power steering pump and brackets.

Your post was very explicit in explaining how to correctly include the resistor in the ignition circuit. The resistor plays an important part in reducing wear on the points, and should be used whenever the engine running. Since you went to such great detail in explaining how to include the...

I would definitely not use a punch, that would in my opinion, increase the risk of the chipping, particularly is there was an adherence issue in that area. Mask the area with quality masking tape, and use as many 'steps' as possible, starting with the smallest drill bit possible. Also, if...

Even going thru the resistor will not protect the coil and point if the points are closed. It's no different than leaving the ignition on when the car is not running. If the points are open, nothing bad will happen, if the points are closed, then you are at risk of burning out the coil and the...

I agree. Along with the 65 Dart convertible I'm restoring for my wife, I also own a 72 Corvette convertible, and a 67 Mustang convertible. And after the Dart is finished, I plan on looking for a 69 Firebird convertible project car. I'm a 'car guy', I really don't understand 'Chevy guys', or...

There are 3 holes in the head, use the two in the rear if you are pulling just the engine, use the one on the front on the head also, if you are pulling it with the trans attached.

My guess is what El5demon340 said, and you have some air in the system. Did this start occuring after something in the cooling system changed? When you refilled the radiator, did you have the front elivated so the system could be properly 'burped'? My guess is that there is air in the...

Agree with the razor blades. You can also grind off the corners of the blades, this will make it harder to scratch the glass - learned this stripping paint off fiberglass.

The main benefit is that you can do a color change very cheap, and easily, and if or when you want to go back, you can simply peel the dip off your car. I don't believe dipping is a long term solution, but I think it can be one heck of good short term solution. Here's an example where I think...

You can buy the Borgeson box Kar was talking about for around $750. They are modern Delphi 600 steering boxes, with 14:1 steering, modified to fit on older cars. They are longer, so it also requires you to use a coupler (another $130), and you need to shorten your column. So, if you don't...

I'm working on a 65 Dart for my wife, and am going to convert from manual to power steering. After reading all the posts about people wanting to switch from power to manual steering, because of the issues they have had with the stock power steering system, I've decided to go the Borgeson...

I'm currently working on a 65 Dart 270 convertible, and plan on red on the bottom, and white on top. As mentioned, since the cowl and the top of the fenders are going to be white, it might seem weird having a red engine bay. But, I also don't really want an all white engine bay. So, I've...

The purpose of the thermostat is not to keep the engine cool, it's to get the engine up operating temperature quickly, and to keep it there. I read once that 95 percent of engine wear occurs before an engine reaches operating temperature. And that is why it's not uncommon for NTC taxis to get...

Thanks! I had noticed that the pivot point was at the top of the ram on the Sebring's, unlike at the bottom like the Dart's. I was thinking of making a sleeve type bracket, that bolted thru the top mount on the ram, and on the bottom bolted thru the bottom bracket. The ram would be bolted...

I'm starting a full restoration on a 65 dart 270 convertible for my wife. She's petite, so I'm makeing modificatons to make things easier for her, such as converting from a split bench, to buckets, which will make it easier for her to adjust. The car currently has a manual top, I'd like...

This is my fair weather daily driver - at least until I get 65 Dart convertible finished.

I've seen a number of people build wood ramps like these - http://corvettec3.ca/ramps.htm . I can't find the pictures, but I have seen a number of ramps built like these, but the center section is a removable bridge. So once the car is up on the ramps, the middle sections can be removed to...

As the PROUD owner of a 72 Corvette, and a 67 Mustang (both of which I restored myself), and a 65 Dart I'm currently restoring, I think there is a heck of a lot of projection going on in this thread! To all of you guys that think people are 'a##holes' for owning a Chevy, well I think it...

PM sent. If still available, I would like to purchase.

Crackedback - can you please tell me, are these made out of 1/4 or 3/16? Thanks

I saw that someone else had commented on needing the right side 'candy cane' molding. I would be interested in the left side, if it is available. Thanks, Matt

If the mirror has a ball joint, and that is where it is loose, you should be able to remove the mirror by soaking it in gasoline (or some other silicone solvent) overnight. One the mirror is removed, you should be able to find a way to tighten the joint. If it has rivets, then small shims can...
