plenty of room. It’s been put back together and on the road for about 2 weeks now, but of course now the O ring on the distributor is leaking like crazy lol.

So here is what I ended up doing for my senders and works great. Still working on tidying up wiring and what not under the hood. I used the Autometer 2271 adapter for the water temp sender. Thanks for the help and input!

Yes, but I’m adding an aftermarket one so I can see exactly what my temps are for summer time driving in traffic. ya I know, it’s been awhile lol. The car has been put away for 6+ months.

Would this autometer adapter threaded into one of these 3(circled holes) in my edelbrock intake work as a good spot for my autogage temp gauge sending unit?

Got all the plug wires made and ran, along with the heater hoses and brackets. Looks much cleaner and everything doesn’t just sit on the valve cover. Get all the winter time bugs worked out of it again and start daily driving it!

Haha I don't know why I typed trans breather LOL. I just wasn't sure what was supposed to be there. what are you guys doing with it if you have aftermarket valve covers? my breather is driver side. anyone have pics of it hooked up and plumbed?

Another thing... what is the proper filter for the end of the trans breather?

I committed a sin and had a pair of long needle nose pliers in my back pocket when I hopped in the Dart the other day and poked a hole in my seat. It’s not a show car or anything close but the seat was near perfect shape. Is there any stitch kit or stick on or iron on patch kit that’s decent...

Thanks! that's exactly what I was looking for!

extremely tidy! what did you use to mount the wires to the valve cover?

ya this definitely isn’t anywhere close to a concourse car. Just a good old fashioned driver quality car. Good to know on those brackets thanks

looks great! Super clean

Not sure this is the correct forum page for this... In my 71 swinger w/ 318 I am replacing the plug wires and want to re-route my heater hoses. Just going to run accel 8mm wires, and more curious how you guys are routing your wires mainly on the driver side to clear the taller exhaust manifold...

Yes it is definitely sloped. And it does not usually have that big gap above the tire.

haha right!? my driveway plays tricks on the eye, it’s kinda “warped”. It doesn’t sit that funky on flat ground. But the tall skinny tire up front I think throws the look of the car off?

Maybe it’s my 215/65’s up front? 15x6 front 15x8 rear. I’ve got 60 series in the rear and 65s up front. Too bad cooper didn’t make a 215/60.

Thats why I replaced mine. A cam finger broke off and wouldnt stay on to one side if you didnt keep your hand on it.

An update... What ultimately caused my issues was the new cams "wire prongs" on the back of the cam, did not line up properly with the brass contacts on the switch side. So I ordered an OER switch from summit at 7p sunday, was in my front porch 10a tuesday and installed same day. Havent taken...

So thanks your help, I determined it was the little wire contacts behind the cam. If you hold it in the exactly right spot they will work. I’m hesitant on buying the OER switch from summit. Is there anywhere or anyone who sells a quality replacement? here’s where my issue lies. And yes, I Did...

So there is no power to any wires behind the cam when brakes pressed. Anyone have any experience with OER switches that summit sells? Looks like they have mostly good reviews. No power to these ones behind the cam...

I’ve tested the brake switch, it works as it should. and I also tested the plug behind kick panel, no power to any circuit when brake pedal is applied.

Recently I noticed my brake lights don’t work on my 71 Dart. (I’ve also got digi-tail tail lights and love them, haven’t had an issue with them)Turn signals and flashers all work perfectly. Seems like they quit working after I replaced the turn signal “cam”(??) the brake light switch tests good...

yes, I can see it, but do you think you get get a close up pic when you get a chance? Thanks a lot!

Yes, I do have the adapter piece that came with the gauge, just not pictured. I will get some parts and try and make things work thanks!

Great info guys thank you! Where are you sourcing these "T" adapters? And what are they technically called? So when I call around I know what im talking about.

Ive searched and havent been able to find any info, wheres everyone installing mechanical temp gauge sending unit? 318 w/ edelbrock manifold. All the ports are too shallow. And also where are you putting the oil psi sender? Prefer copper or plastic line? Heres the sender on my autogauge temp gauge.

thanks, but I’m person it looks low. Especially when I load up the family and a stroller in the trunk. It really gets low. Here’s a better pic...

I love the way your car sits!! Looks great. How’s it ride?

your car looks great. I have 15x8 w/ 245/60s already. factory with 2 leaves from another factory set to copy SS springs lengths.
