    Recommendations for New Fuel Tank

    Took the fuel tank out to paint the bottom of the car, but heard hard objects sloshing around. Looks like rust inside, and lots of buildup. Seen new tanks advertised online for about $200, so I am thing of purchasing rather than trying to unsuccessfully clean the tank. Anyone bought one of these...

    273 V8 to Slant 6 Swap: 1965 Dart

    What parts would I need if I wanted to replace my 1965 273 V8 engine with a 1975 slant 6 engine? The slanty has an auto behind it, while the 273 has a 3 speed on the tree, which I would like to retain. I think it's an A-745 gearbox. Would the Slanty bell housing bolt to the A-745 gear box? If...

    Restoration / Body Shop Needed - Ft. Lauderdale area

    Anyone know of a good restoration / body shop in the Ft. Lauderdale / Miami / southern Palm Beach area, that won't charge an arm and a leg to weld in front floor panels? Maybe even repaint the car? Most of the shops I have come across specializes in changing body panels on newer cars only.

    1965 Dart Grill Surround Trim Removal?

    I have been searching, but couldn't find how to remove the trim that goes around half of each headlight and the bottom of the grill on a 1965 Dart. Is the trim pushed on from the front over clips, or are they screws / nuts in the back? The trim is in 3 pieces; one for the right, one for the...

    How to Install New Pistons on Old Connecting Rods?

    I was practicing the soon to be lost art of reading, with the book, "How to Rebuild a Mopar Small Block". The author said that the connecting rods would need to be heated and then a special press used to press the pin out from the rod and piston. Is that true? Prior to reading, I was planning...

    1998 360 Magnum or 1965 273 cu in

    I am in the process of slowly changing my 1965 more-doors dart 270 from a 3 speed manual to a 4 speed 833. Last week I dropped of the dismantled 273 parts at the machine shop to be measured to determine a course of action. My car's odometer says 32K miles, the machine shop owner says the...

    Exhaust Manifold Bolts and Gaskets - Sources?

    Took the exhaust manifold off, and would love to change the bolts; the threaded shafts are skinny, so would love to avoid breaking in the head in the future. Any sources for these bolts? Specs of the bolts? Also, the OEM exhaust manifold gaskets seem to have spark plug heat shields attached...

    Source of 833 Transmission Mount?

    What's the best source for a rubber 833 gearbox mount, similar to the OEM? I looked at Brewers and Passon, but saw only polyurethane. To minimize NVH, I have always preferred rubber. PS - the mount has two holes on the gearbox (upper) side for bolts to pass through, and two studs (pointing...

    Handbrake Cable Routing

    On my 1965 Dart 273, the handbrake cable is below (closer to the ground) the exhaust pipe, but is rubbing on it. Is that the correct routing, or should the exhaust pipe be closer to the ground? From right to left in the pic is the floorboard, driveshaft, exhaust pipe (silver), and the handbrake...

    Engine Removal

    What is the easiest / recommended way to remove the 273 V8 and manual gearbox from my 1965 Dart? So far I have removed the carb (got it rebuilt by Woodruff), radiator, fan, battery mount, and alternator. The engine looks too wide to go down past the frame rails with the exhaust manifolds on...

    WTB Spark Plug Wire "O" Rings

    Where can I buy, what looks to me from the pictures I have seen, "o" ring grommets that hold the spark plug wires to the valve cover brackets? My 7mm spark plug wires are all tied together with zip ties, so I need to change that PO arrangement. Any recommendations for spark plugs and wires...

    Cause of Excessive Smoke after Adding Gas to Tank?

    Last night I added 5 gallons of ethanol-free petrol to the gas tank, because the gauge in the car read about "1/4" tank the previous weekend (I am not sure f that was accurate). Today when I went to start the car, it would not start by turning the key only (that's how I normally start it). After...

    Bought this A833OD today with the intent of using it to replace the 3 speed manual in my 1965 Dart 273. Need help identifying which vehicle it may have come from, and also looking for a BH if anyone has one for sale. I did some rough measurements and got the following: tail shaft = 17.5"...
