That makes me think Im getting old!!! I never paid more than $500 for any of the 5 complete but non-running, rust free big block '68 Chargers I had "back in the day". I DID really go crazy once and pay $600 for a rust-free but incomplete 70 Challenger that I drove home once though...

Yup that's my car, minus the stripe, add "Dart Custom" belt trim and full wheel covers. Its funny how quickly things change- I almost sold the engine n trans out of it a while back!!! Now Im taking pics n documenting and worrying about date codes LOL!!! Im sure hoping Laysons comes through with...

Oh that sucks... There were some suppliers in the 3S (3000gt/Stealth) world that were the same way. Great when they great, but not so much when they weren't. But luckilly, Laysons is within driving distance. Nobody rips me off face to face...

The guy I spoke with seemed quite helpful and direct about the issues with getting it and the timing. Have there been issues with Laysons over getting stuff before???? Ive never dealt with them before...

Thats a pretty car...!!! Always loved that color, ever since my first car, a 68 Charger. Ppl hated on it but I love it...!!!

Perfect thanks!!! Not trying to be lazy, but its sooo great to just come to FABO and get answers haha!!!

Thanks ...much appreciated!!!

So for the resto-minded folks- are there any good publications out there that help with things like parts date codes, finding them/decoding them, proper fasteners and finishes, etc...??? State of the art has advanced a lot since my last resto in the 90s, and I've got lots to learn. I noticed...

Well finally took the time n heard good news!! Looks like Laysons DOES have some Dodge Floral material coming... But theyre a supply chain victim like everyone else, so itll be mid summer before it appears (at earliest). Doubtful ill be ready for it then, but Ill sure be buying it!!

A good thought... Im pretty comfy with the Carters, have had a lot of those over the years!!

Its the 225/904. Im going to build/use whats there for now, but if at some point I can find the correct carb, Id like to go with that. Not sure if the anti-icing manifold is present still yet. Ive been out of the correct resto game for decades, but finding out that this is a V1H car makes me...

Right??? Why not shoot for best case n see what happens??? After the V1H revelation, itll get a full go thru but...after replacing fuel tank, I even took it for a 300 yard drive...(in a closed lot) Brakes almost non-existent, pedaling it like crazy to keep it running, the noise of trim and parts...

https://youtube.com/shorts/5Ed4Xq9GGDY?feature=share Mine firing for first time in 15+years. Just took fresh points, cap rotor n plugs!!

Will do- all this is brand new to me, but im strangely excited about it. Have always had respect for the /6, but like I said before- until now, they were just in the way of the inbound big block.

Thanks!!! Really appreciate the time spent finding this!!! Now to just find one to replace my 'service replacement'!! Ill rebuild the current one and start looking!!

Thatd be great. Since this car went from a restomod project with 5.7 Hemi to a straight resto wjen I found it to be a V1H Floral Top car, Im going to have to start looking at numbers n dates for everything... This is good of a place as any...!!!

Sounds like one of those reasons that normally Im a "Carter Guy"!! Thanks for the heads up!!

Thanks for this...much appreciated!!

Thanks...much appreciated!!! But I guess that means its not the original carb then(??) If not, how would I ascertain what the correct number carb would be?? Could it have been any one of a few #s, in which case the date code would be more important??

I totally agree..and this of course, is the first time Ive ever not decoded somthing before I even brought it home!!

Found the Holley list but...ugh... I assume its a 1920 carb but wonder about getting correct.kit for it just going by the 1920...???

Being new to doing anything with slants except replacing them with big blocks LOL, I'm beginning a resto and want to start with getting it running reliably for the summer until car/drivetrain all gets torn down for sheetmetal/paint. Id like to rebuild the carb and need to know how to ID it, as...

Its on my to do list this week!! Even though the car hasnt had a thing done to it yet except tuneup items and a starter relay so itd run for first time in 15+ years, I think the top material qualifies as "long lead time", so Ill be looking into it asap!!

Ouch!!! I know Ive had a few of those tragic moments over the years!!!

I heard that Laysons does a run of the material for the Dodges every few years. Im hoping 2022 is the rotation year LOL!!! I

Wow!!! To be honest, I still really want a fast daily/wknd track car, but this car is just to rare (and weird) to alter. So Im gonna go resto with it and then let it go, so I can build my Hemi hotrod LOL. That $70k is crazy!!! I figured that restored, it should be in the 25, maybe $30k...

So Id been planning to build my 69 Dart Custom into a cool driver/daily with carbureted 5.7, upgraded axle n brakes etc. Was going to keep the F6 and black bench interior. But after a year of owning it, i decided to look at the Fender Tag and, umm... V1H!!! According to the ModTop registry...

I am going for and old school look, actually considering going dual-quad and 60s Oval Hemi Air cleaner... I know theres only so much you can do with the coils LOL, and don't mind the twin plugs... Will have to decide if Ill go with aftermarket, or just get the later OEM covers n coils.. Thanks...

Ok...so moments later, with kids assistance and better keywords, theres my answer!!! So ill adjust the question: Anyone have preferences about which coil brand to use?? Any good/bad experiences with MSD, Accel, etc?? Itll be another month before i go through the engine so im not rushed, but...
