Thanks Guys for the response. Painters masking tape a good idea. The FSM show an adjustable stop for the front that lowers the glass to give more clearance. The rears are the real difficult ones. Any tips Chris on pulling out the rear glass? Thanks

318willrun makes a good point. Try the exhaust manifolds on the engine before you get the engine in the car. Left side may interfere with the head. Did on mine when I swaped in a 360.

Can anyone give some advice regarding replacing the window felts on my 64 Valiant V200 sedan. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Especially with the rear windows that do not roll down all the way. Tips, pointers ect?

I picked mine for my four speed from Brewers. Should be the same.

I got my fiberglass hump from Brewers performance out of Ohio. 4 speeds are their business.

To the front is correct.

1967 Dodge Dart, your car is referred to as a 2dr. sedan. Try SMS auto fabrics, they are now offering seat covers as well as the fabric by the yard. They had the exact fabric for my 64 Valiant 2dr. sedan.

Not related to 273 ci. clearance theory. Just a heads up I recently dropped a 360 ci. in my 64 and had a issue with the stock early A drivers side exhaust manifold. The 360 had the desirable 308 casting heads but with the air injection port feature below each exhaust port. I had to grind away...

That's OK. When I get like that I walk away for a day or two come back and It usually comes to light.

I like Mattax's ideas. I am going to draw up a schematic of my Valiant "as built". I am willing to bet you have a broken wire inside the insulation with only a few strands carrying current. I came across this once and I think it was a bad splice made in the manufacture of the wire to extend the...

Sweet lookin' Fish, Wish my little old lady was that clean. The first and second gen A body Cudas' were the best.

I didn't know what you were referring to as far as the "MAD bypass". As far as the resistance on the ballast resistor I don't know what the acceptable range is. There has to be a plus and minus tolerance range as with anything else. Now you got me curious. If I come up with something I will pass...

Why don't you just re orientate the filter adapter to allow the full size filter to fit? I have a small block in my 64 and I use the full size PH8 Fram filter. The PH16 Fram is a short version. Here is how I set mine up. PS sorry didn't notice you're being pressed for time.

The diagram show it as Ma Mopar did it. You are correct I just tied into the blue on the ignition 1 side of the ballast resistor. FYI the new alternators can crank out in excess of 60AMP. The wiring carrying the current through the ammeter is not rated to carry that many amps and you run the...

Here is the best diagram I have. I tied into the blue wire as it shows.

Thanks for the advice about the 4th gear vulnerability on the OD units. Sounds like you got a real runner there. I am just running stock 360 with a AVS 4 barrel from a 60's 340 with dual exhaust. Not making the kind of HP you have. I haven't even made a pass on a quarter mile yet. I doubt I...

That is definitely the best way to go and balanced to 7200 rpm, I like. My budget build is more conservative. Just going with Ma Mopars knowhow. Last thing I wanted was to get it up and running and have a vibration, so I did the research. I love my 4 speed, I am running an OD version with 2.76...

If you look at manufacturers like Dorman and Dayco they list two different part numbers for the balancer. Of course the one I needed for my stick was more expensive. I wouldn't call you're engineering a hack, it's ingenuity! Wrenching on you're own build is pure motorhead satisfaction. I was...

I went to order a new one for my swap and thats when I discovered that there was a different one for each application. Note the flywheel for the 360 has three counter bored holes in it to balance, not added weights. I also solved the radiator issue by using a 1970 Dart rad. same year they...

IF you look into it the auto and manual harmonic balancers are a different part number! As they say "fill you're library before you fill you're garage."

Hello doopdoop67, I am about to put a 360 in place of a 318 also. The 360 is externally balanced and as a result the harmonic balancer and flywheel are used to properly balance the engine. Since you are using an auto trans you need the correct plate and possibly the torque converter as well. If...

Cuda620, Maybe I mis understood. I was under the impression you were looking to go from a 7 1/4 to an 8 3/4 and had a b body rear handy. If you have an 8 3/4 and are looking to go up to the 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern just do the axle swap. I just did mine with Dr. Diff axles. But you must use the...

Plenty of people do it, less bucks than finding an a-body 8 3/4. Perches go in 1/2" each side. Wheel back spacing may have to change. Make the swap but take numbers of original rear distance from fender and compare to new space and change rims accordingly. You may get lucky and you're present...

Here are the pics I took after install, Got all the calipers, hoses, wheel bearings and pads at my local auto parts store. By the way I went with silicone brake fluid also.

I used the disc setup from a 73-76 Duster ect. Used all from the lower control arm up. Use the big ball joints also and the one piece rotors. Bolts right in. Dump that single master cylinder, go with a dual and plumb in an adjustable proportioning valve in the line for the rear brakes and you're...

Go to Schumacher. I used their mounts to drop a 318 in my 64. Worked fine. PS 360 mounts are different. Block mounting ears are different on one side.

u-joint cap outer diameters as follows 7260= 1.078" 7290= 1.126" 1330= 1.063 No zerk fitting is supposed to be stronger.

Hello Bill, I guess you are installing the upper control arms, knuckles discs ect from the 73 and big ball joints? I did that on my 64 and all worked great. I went with a stock 73 dual manual cast iron master. I also recommend you use a stock drum brake distribution block and install an...

I would install the tensioner P5007709. I have done so in my small blocks and it dramatically improved timing accuracy. All that slop causes the timing mark to jump around when you attempt to set it. I bet you have all seen this.

Do you still have the windshield? If clear I would be interested.
