Pulled the gas tank, dumped out the very bad, rust-infused gas. Found that the tank had been restored once, in the past and all the coating is separating from the inside. The car sat for a long time, and apparently it was right after someone had dumped a ton of time and money into trying to...

Hence "redrilled", "flat-faced stantion" and the possibility of "canted spacers". Definitely, assumed lots of TIG to build up a drillable stantion on an aluminum intake.

Just out of curiousity, why can't LA intake manifolds simply have the holes redrilled to work on Magnum heads? Besides the obvious need to either build up a flat-faced stantion of sorts for the bolt OR to build canted spacers, what is the problem?

Well, based on that comparison, I feel fantastic about my car! XD But I restore cars for a living, and this is not the sort of rust that is usually, prevalent on the cars I contend with. But it IS still minor in comparison to replacing quarters, floor pans or even entire dashes so I can't...

Thank you, VERY much. The four-door 4-speed seems like an uncommon combination, but suits my preferences perfectly. Actually, she has minor rust in the bottoms of the quarters. The worst of the rust is in the front and rear glass channels. I dont know if that was common, but on this car it's...

Sounds great! Thank you, very much.

It's a 2 barrel 273 car with a 4 speed.

So i picked up this 1964 Dart 270 four door with 4 on the floor. Everything appears to be original although, the original exterior color is Aqua so the car has been repainted. The weird thing us that the codes on the tag... well, some appear to go by '65 identification so I'm guessing this was...

This makes me wonder if you could install ultraviolet/blacklight bulbs (whether incandescent LED), which in theory, would have the effect of making the lettering and needles light up, super bright rather than send light all over the cluster.

That is a good point, and something I hadn't considered. General consensus I get is headers don't do anything for an engine that wasn't designed with performance in mind, except change the exhaust note. (With obvious exceptions being manifolds that were a bottleneck in the first place.)

Well, it all started with an article in Hot Rod, which was "10 Steps to Power", and they suggested that on a daily-driven street car, moving down a step in primary header tube size would yield more real-world power on the torque side of things, since focus would not be on top-end on city...

I haven't been able to find any actual examples of a Taxi coded '64 Dart, but I recently acquired a '64 which is VIN'd as a '64 270 V8 car (L code), but it appears to have been a taxi. I can't find any info about the literal, physical differences between factory parts of the taxi vs. regular...

I've been curious about primary diameter. Every set of headers you see is made for the 318 or larger, and always start with 1-5/8" primaries. However, the exhaust port dimensions on a 273 head equate to just shy of 1-1/2" circular. I have only seen 1-1/2" primaries on headers for the V8...

You can also have the best of both worlds. If you like the color, but want protection, you can use a product such as SEM 39803, their clear chip guard. I've actually had customers who had me spray it to exterior surfaces of their car, such as the rocker panels or lower quarters and lower...

The exhaust manifolds look beautiful. I'm considering painting mine flat blue, like the old Hemis, but what did you use to paint yours? Matthew
