Yesterday evening the rebuilt 727 worked fine. Only transfluid seeping out between two pan bolts, with some gentle hammering we got it to stop leaking. So, we made a looooong list with next things to do, our ever lasting project is on track again! Thanks for all the input.

I talked to my son and we decided to go over there. We're in a big jet lag that first day in USA, so we will be there in the morning. At 4 pm my eyes will close by themselves, can't help that! I'll send you a PM.

We'll be around from april 5th. We have a rental car from Thrifty, the first night we're in Galena Park, in some crappy cheap hotel. We might visit the Crosby car show, but I'm not sure if that's worth our time. On monday april 8 we're in Nasa space center looking at the solar eclipse. Some day...

Well, we got a few steps ahead. Only a few miles from home we have a transmission specialist that only works for garagists. My son's former boss works over there. So we managed to become retailer-customer over there. My converter is now rebuilt. We picked an other transmission that had a couple...

Well, I guess there’s no escaping from a rebuild. Early april me and my son will visit Houston and Dallas. We’ll take a rebuild kit back home and go from there

Haha I promiss!

Finally we pulled the transmission pan. Oh-Oh! Lots of debris, look at pic. When we got it for cheap, the tranny initially did not shift at all. After adjusting it ran as it should.. losing a lot of oil, but it did the job. We decided to get the pan off, adjust the other band and proceed from...

Thanks, mine is way off, than! I might have to rethink

In my 73 Dart we are building a strong 360. On the shelves I have a ceramic coated set headers, Doug's D450. That's a set for early A bodies. Can I put them in? What needs to be done? We already found out that the drivers side is close! Only thing is to grind away the lever of the column shift...

Thank all of you! This helps me out, I can get a switch I need over here. Thanks FABO!

See below..

Great!! Finally having some progress. Do you have it for sale? If not, I found one in US.

Yeah the car came in parts. Apparentlty with some wrong parts. I do have a 73 wiring diagram and a 72 one

This is my connector! Can you give me the partnumber of your switch?

Already took me two days, simply don't understand. Couldn't find my answers over here. I have a wiper switch 2864413. This one doesn't pair with my connector in the car, 73 dart. Look at the picture for my connector. At the connector I have: Dark green Dark bleu Brown Pink Red Brown/white At...

Well: Europe is a big country. A guy some 200 miles away wrote that he had some Doug's headers for me. We agreed on it and I received them. Nice pieces, ceramic coated. I don't know if they will fit.... They are A body, but not the 73 A body. Later this day we will try to fit them in. Haha, I...

Yeah I know.. Already leaning towards them

I've had some TTI's in the past, not really a drop-in fit. I didn't know Doug's. Will look into that! It's half the price and I will propably have to hammer it in anyway.

Time flies! Having some issues in the family (both my own and my wife's parents growing into Alzheimer's desease) I finally got some time again for my patient yellow buddy! I have the interior done, worked out pretty nice! All parts came with the car, so it was a no-brainer. 4 cans of black...

Crap! that combi wasn't a combo. A bunch of loose parts, wasn't happy at all. It turned out great, however, because the guy had an oil pan marked 392 for me. That means I can proceed with my ready to drop 360! He sold me an other 360 engine in addition, a sb 727 in fine condition and a...

Thanks guys. I'm going to try the JB-weld-option. I hope the back side still has some strength left. Let's wait and see! Have a good weekend!

The build is, apart from a drivetrain, progressing nicely. I went to the authorities to check the Belgian title, no problems at all. It's my choice to register as a 72, or a 73. They preferred the 72 because of the already known history. So that's what I'm going tot do: register as 72, and put a...

After cleaning up a 79 318 block I found troubles at the rear main seal. See pics. A broken peace, marked in yellow. This is the upper side of the main seal. Scrap the thing or use it? What should I consider? Lots of sealant? The block is very usable, apart from this issue.. My thought is to...

I found my door glasses, in Belgium, near Antwerp. My car is defenitely the one-year-only 1973. But a 1973 Scamp filled my empty doors. So, yesterday was a successfull day and I gained new energy to proceed with my build!

Thanks guys for the input!

Mystery solved: Door Glass | AMD 550-3470-8CL It is a non mopar window, propably a chevy monte carlo..

The signs I could determine: (no five-star found) LOF AS2 Soft Ray Safety flo-rite GN-10 (january 10 1964) (In some other list I found 1971, june..??) DOT 15 M74 (model number) This M74 should be a model number. It looks like a non-chrysler glass Well, as far as I now go...

I started building my 73 Dart, 2 door. I couldn't get my door glasses in. I downloaded the body manual 1973. The glass I should have and the glass that came withe the car are in the photos. The doors do have the side-impact bars, the tracks for the windows are installed, looking to be correct...

Today I hauled the Dart. It’s now warm and dry. Looking at the fender tag: Well, no doubt about it. Vin code and fendertag are clear. Build date june 22. Vin decisive 1973. Buildcode decisive 622. The belgian registration papers show sept 17 1972. They propably messed up.. Thanks for all the...

I have a 360 ready to drop in. And a 727 to be rebuilt. I’ve put the 360 in my avatar, here’s a big pic: this one was taken when I thought the coolling system was ready. It wasn’t!!
