    1965 Dart GT "Charger 273"

    Thought I lost this tag but found it today and put it back on the car. 6265FenderTagDecode.pdf (earlycuda.org) Found this decode link for early Cudas and it tells a story of how the tags were screwed on the cars with only one screw while primered and pryed up so that a line inspector could make...

    273 Engine intake upgrade turned sour

    Funny. The engine builder ground off most of the embossed text on the casting to hide his mischief and painted red and low rise will pass for stock to all except us judges.

    273 Engine intake upgrade turned sour

    Heard it was designed for RVs. I only have it because the mechanic who rebuilt the engine for my parents nabbed the unique '65 heads and original 4 barrel manifold. It works well for me up to 4000 rpm. That is where the pull starts to fade which I don't like. Must be something else holding the...

    273 Engine intake upgrade turned sour

    A Manifold thread turns to Cams. I love it. Still have not installed my Isky but I know it will be monster. Was told this should not be annoying with 904 and 3:23s. Will benefit with more stall. The car is just so pleasant to drive as Chrysler intended I am waiting to swap when I can massage...

    273, or 318?

    Seriously? Engine swap? I believe the OP said he was modding a '67 Dart 273-4. Who molests a factory 273 Charger or Commando car? Are you insane? Production numbers gurus chime in. Must be fifty to one 318s vs. Hipo 273s VINs. Stick with the money not 0-60. Wanna go real fast? '66 Nova SS 327...

    Dart Charger kickdown lever w/ late carb

    Hey A Nuts, Recently installed an Edelbrock 500 CFM Performer carb on 273 and thought I would share a pic of my workaround. Not finding a diagram of the Charger type mechanism in the manuals or here. I drilled a hole in the supplied carb linkage as far back as possible. Then used a 6-32 button...

    Thank You Mike. Just what I was hoping for. Building a Road Course car not a dragster. Think I'll go with a Holley 600 with Vacuum Secondaries. Hey do you drive a tool truck? Saw a glimpse in soundtrack video. Cool.

    273 commando HELP!!!

    Here is the ISKY T-3 sheet. Toolman, I found a thread where you ran this grind on your software. I want to shift at 5000 max. Ron Iskenderian told me I would be fine with 3:23s and stock converter. Maybe you want to consider this cam. Please run simulation again with headers, dual plane and a...

    Hi Gang, I have made some fasteners for hard to reach Dart trim. The trim in question are the simulated exhaust ports on the fenders and doors of the GTs. Not sure what is original. If someone knows Please chime in. I have made some nylon (tough cable tie material) press in style nuts that make...

    No mention of these? Any Good? Early 1980's 318 Streetmaster from Edelbrock. Looks like a short torker. Gotta be better than stock 273 cast.
