    65 Dart Speedo cable replacement

    PS... And it didn't go all the way to 120+ and constant whine loudly, after lubing. That may have been my dad ****ing with me... from the other side. After all it is his car.

    65 Dart Speedo cable replacement

    Saw in another post about speedo bounce... LUBE THE CABLE! So, with the speedo already disconnected behind the dash, got out the old Silicone Spray, and shot it a few times into the cable housing, letting a few seconds in between to let it soak in. Wish I had better angle. Hooked it back up and...

    65 Dart Speedo cable replacement

    Ya, I'm 65. I have taken the original out once already, and the end on this one looks to be the same configuration. But I hate to spend $100 by the time shipping hits it, to find out it is too big or small.

    65 Dart Speedo cable replacement

    Replace the o-ring and pinion seal on the original metal shielded old style speedo, putting it back in I noticed the cable metal sleeve had split into and the speedo worked erratic with noise at the speedometer. I shoved it up in the transmission, smoothed out but the noise persisted. Last night...

    Modernizing 65 Dart Radiator Coolant Overflow

    When I started bringing this old girl back from the grave, I had the radiator fixed. I don't think they rodded it out. I think he just fixed the leak. Well, once I got her road worth and pass inspection, It would puke coolant on the ground after driving. Then a few of the next times driving it...

    no more over heating !!!!!!!!!

    Nice fab work, for the purpose. Do you have an overflow catch reservoir? I noticed with the old 65, there is no recovery tank. It would puke out the hose along the side of the radiator out on the ground. I found myself having to add coolant all the time or it would get hot. Ordered a 92 Dodge...

    65 Dart front U-Joint rebuild!

    My boot patch. OK dad, call that what you always did... But it freak'n works and this ain't no show car. Just like dad, it will be my grocery getter for the cool factor, and park the bigass truck that is a beech to park.

    65 Dart front U-Joint rebuild!

    Used an intertube, and made a patch like a tire patch, using rubber cement and small zip ties and it conforms to the congregated rubber. It is freak'n done and it will get me around to the store and back on sunny days. This Dart will not get driven too much.

    65 Dart front U-Joint rebuild!

    Nope! I ended up ripping the boot down the side. Had it all the way in to the last rubber collar, after working at it for an hour. That last pull like the video showed and i pulled one wire all the way through. That may work on the bigger housing, but not the little Dart. Well, the boot is now...

    65 Dart front U-Joint rebuild!

    Yikes! Not after I found everything to rebuild the original. That would be a good solution if this was my daily driver HotRod. Dad would kick me from his grave, if I did that and didn't go back with original design stuff, for his ride. I know someone has dealt with and conquered this impossible...

    65 Dart front U-Joint rebuild!

    Oh MY! Ya, no wonder they changed the design in 66! Holy moley! They call it a "Ball & Trunnion" I call it a pain in the ***! The 65 Dart Bible, says the dust boot can be installed without pressing the pin out, by greasing it up and working it over the pin(which I can actually do) and then...

    66 Dart, 408 runs hot. HELP PLEASE!

    This was my suggestion too. I use to run extremely high compression on a race boat. While everyone was running High Dollar Race Gas, I was running 93, with 104 Super Octane boost, and NGK 9's instead of 7's. Tried the 8's, but it ran better with the cooler 9's.

    Wish I could help you out, but I have horded enough parts, that the wife is now parking in the driveway. My 66 Barracuda has those in perfect condition, but it is tempting, just because.

    RockAuto has a GM part and it is wrong, listed under the 65 Dart. Way too small. I found them at repairconnector.com
