    1965 Dodge Dart, Rain leaking in to the coupe

    I bought a camera on a long cable, 15 ft I think. Not able to find the leak. But, when I lay in the car, and my lovely wife shower the car on the left side of the windshield, air openings for the heater, it finally starts dripping in that little space behind the kick panel on the left side. It...

    No, unfortunately not.

    My second 1965 Dodge Dart.

    I have been slow. The Owatrol oil did not fix the leak, and after a long time, wondering what to do, and what not to. Even considering selling the car, I sprayed some undercoating into the cowl. Still leaking. More frustration, and even closer to giving up. But, like a week ago or maybe a bit...

    My second 1965 Dodge Dart.

    Yesterday I sprayed Owatrol oil into the entire cowl. I thought it maybe would take days to dry, but it is dry already. The heat is obviously helping compared to like 50-60 degrees. Some of the oil had been dripping out on the concrete under the car, so I need to wire brush that off. Other than...

    My second 1965 Dodge Dart.

    Howdy. Well, I need my little lathe too up and running for making some parts for the car. But, it will come, a little by little. I also changed oil for the first time, but I did not have a socket to replace the oil lamp sender which is not working. Went to town, but no one had it. Probably need...

    My second 1965 Dodge Dart.

    Well, it is a long time since I posted anything here. Not going into details now about why, but it has not been anything to post. More or less. Anyway, last weekend I had a very bad leak from my gas tank, in 110 degrees. It smelled gas, and my wife told me to move my car out in the street. I am...

    Could have blown up both the car and the house.

    Problem solved. I took off the little hose in the trunk, where the tube is connected to the filler neck. and connected my blow gun t the tube, and thought to myself that if it is plugged, it will shoot whatever is plugging it inside the tank, and having the cap off as suggested, it will not blow...

    Could have blown up both the car and the house.

    Yes, there is a tube, it comes out on top of the filler tube, 1/4" or so, then a little rubber hose, and a new tube that goes up around where the left trunk lid hinge is, and then finds it's way down and into the gas tank where the filler tube goes in. So, I assume that is connected to the tank...

    Could have blown up both the car and the house.

    Hello everybody. We had some really hot days here like a week ago or whatever, 110, and the Dart that was sitting outside the house started to smell gas. Started the car, drove out of the driveway to place it out in the street, and suddenly I see a wet and shiny spot that would have been under...

    Trailer towing, weight.

    No, not planning to tow the Grand Marquis. I just wondered what the law says, if it is legal to use the 2000 lbs trailer that I am normally using behind the Grand Marquis also on the Dart, which only can tow 1500 lbs. The Grand Marquis I sort of am not too fond of, and at some point will have to...

    Trailer towing, weight.

    The country is Norway. Unless you have a special trailers drivers license, you can not pull a trailer that has Gross trailer weight rating over what the car is approved for, even if it is empty and a lot under what the car can tow. But, if you have such a trailers drivers license, you can tow a...

    Trailer towing, weight.

    It says 2000 lbs Gross, and 1450 lbs payload, so I assume the empty weight is 550 lbs. It has a 5x8 feet bed. It looks more or less like the one in the link below, not the same brand though...

    Trailer towing, weight.

    Hello, Let us say that I have a Mercury Grand Marquis (2000 lbs towing capacity), and a 1965 Dodge Dart (1500 lbs towing capacity), and a utility trailer with a 2000 lbs GTWR, can I tow that behind the Dart even if I keep the load under 1500 lbs, or even haul the trailer empty? I am asking, a)...

    Has anyone tried learning another launguage

    I will say that when learning a new language, the single most important thing is to learn how to pronounce the alphabet in the new language. And in many cases it also mean learning how to read and write new letters if the new language have letters not used in the English language. Without being...

    Registration card / insurance card holder

    Hi, Does anyone know of a registration card insurance card holder or pocket that also says Dodge on the outside, or Mopar or something like that. I have looked online, and it is things out there, but not with Dodge / Mopar on the outside. Thanks in advance, Bill

    In need of transport.

    Hello, I am in need of transport from between Windsor and Toronto in Canada to northern California. I am buying a small late, bench size with a table / cabinet. The weight is about 300 lbs I would assume. Length of the lathe is around 3.5 feet, and about 2 feet wide, and not sure how tall the...

    My second 1965 Dodge Dart.

    Yesterday I found something that was supposed to be a good cleaner / degreaser. It might be good for something, I don't know. But it was not good at cleaning. It did not clean anything at all. I think it was called Oil Eater or something. They claimed it was industrial strength. Yeah, right!

    My second 1965 Dodge Dart.

    So, today I have been sanding more under the dash, but not done yet. I will go to Harbor Freight and see if I can find some disks I can use on my drill or Dremel to clean it up even better. After the sanding I squirted water a little carefully in to the two oval holes under the hood (where the...

    My second 1965 Dodge Dart.

    Do you mean buy firewall insulation and rip off the insulation, and cut a piece of a card board and use for the heater box ? By the way, the cardboard is supposed to be 1/16 inch thick.

    My second 1965 Dodge Dart.

    On the back side of the heater box is a black card board that I shoud have replaced. Does anyone know what that cardboard is called ? It looks like the type of cardboard used in old photo albums. It is 1/16 inch thick.

    How are brake drums made ?

    So, cast iron for the wear, and aluminum for the heat ? I wonder how efficient that was. To be honest, I like drum brakes much more than disk brakes. Especially after owning a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis since 2013. What a brake disaster that has been.

    How are brake drums made ?

    Are you talking about the, was it 215 V8 engine ? If that is what you think about, the Rover in England bought it, and changed it into casting only the aluminum part, and then machined the cylinders, and pressed in the liners. Bill

    How are brake drums made ?

    Thanks. I have looked at several movies on youtube, but non are for brake drums for a 1965 Dodge Dart with 9 inch brakes. :D They are mostly for how large truck brake drums are made, I mean like commercial large size trucks and buses. In addition to my car hobby I have had Ferguson farm...

    How are brake drums made ?

    Hello good folks. I have a question, how are brake drums made. Some places I see that the drums are cast. And, I have seen cast drums. But, on my 1965 Dart i am a bit puzzled. It goes for some ther cars too. It looks to me like the outer part is cast, while the disc on the drum is of a pressed...

    My second 1965 Dodge Dart.

    Matt, that is where the Owatrol penetrating oil comes in. It is a bit like the Waxoyl, but after a week, a little depending on how thick layer it is, it will dry to a see through layer that is very hard. And, it sticks very good too. Not like some of these products that makes rust black and...

    My second 1965 Dodge Dart.

    Not opened the heater box yet, but when I peek into the hole where the air goes in, it is full of leaves, straws, and whatever else garbage it can be. So, if for nothing else it will look good when I get it cleaned. Looking forward to that part. And when having it out and open I will check the...
