    66 Dart Owners thread

    Figured I should update my rig since its been 6 years when I first posted on this thread. Went a little more crazy than I wanted to with it, however I regret nothing. Its an absolute blast to mess with on the street. I retired the ol 318/TF999/7.25 combo and went with a 408/TF904/8.75. Along...

    Oil Pan info needed for Early A

    I have a kevko pan on my 408. Also did the k-member mod. It's ridiculously easy. I highly recommend doing it.

    Doug's or TTI headers

    Ahhh yes, I ended up mounting my prop valve off the master cylinder studs/bolts. I used my line lock setup for my "T" for the front lines, and used a block union for my rear lines. the block union I mounted about 12" more towards the rear of the car on the frame rail to clear my TTI's. As for...

    Trans cooler. Type, mounting help, TTI headers

    just went through this with my 66. I had a derale electra cool, but I had some issues with the engine running hot, and among other issues, one was having the cooler mounted in front of the radiator.

    66 Dart, 408 runs hot. HELP PLEASE!

Ran 195 consistently in the staging lines, i hit 200 once while hot-lapping it. id leave the line at 195 and by the top of the track it dumped to 185 and would hold it until i...

    66 Dart, 408 runs hot. HELP PLEASE!

    from the core face to the end of the pump snout is 2.5 inches. The core is physically thicker than what I had in there a few years back. I went as far as cutting out the core support mounts to gain some space, and it helped, but not as much as I was hoping for.

    Steering Wheel Quick Disconnect

    Anyone ever install such a critter in an early-a AND retain horn function? After having a hand slamming one in an 87 supra i thought that the horn function being still available was pretty trick. The one we used was from NRG Innovations. I found they do make one for mopars, however they list...

    early a body fmj spindle & master cylinder choose . modification

    87 Gran fury knuckles + discs, early 70s C-body tie rods inner and outer, and 73-76 balljoints are whats under my 66. I used a 73 charger manual master, with the 87 gran fury prop valve. if i were to ever do disc id probably get an adjustable prop valve combo all in one. Ive seen em somewhere...

    66 Dodge Dart upgrade Dual conversion help!

    Heres what I did on mine and its served me very well. 74 charger manual brake dual pot master, works with the factory pushrod as well, no need for the adjustable unit. 87 plymouth gran fury proportioning valve, and matched brakes from that same car. I did all brand new lines because mine were...

    Doug's or TTI headers

    I didnt feel the need to. Between the ceramic coating, internal thermal barrier, and the distance between the master and the header I dont believe its going to be an issue. I also run DOT 4 for ***** n giggles.

    Doug's or TTI headers

    I did TTI-636A's in my 66 dart, 408, eddy heads. My reasoning was A. I like one piece headers and have a borderline psychotic hatred for 2 bolt flanges and slip joints. B. The dougs couldnt handle the power im making AS WELL as the TTI's....so my decision was easy. Required items to...

    How do you guys keep gas from spilling? 66' Dart

    ......OH MY LANTA!!!! now it all makes sense why there was numerous rolls of TP in the trunk of my 66 when I bought it! I figured the previous owner had some severe case of IBS or something. haahahahahaa!!!! I fixed mine via using a 67 coronet center cap from a hub cap, that says "dodge...

    IM BAAAAACK!!!! (tons of pics!)

    The base is fairly tall, with that I cant say yay or nay, due to me not having a console to measure. However if you call Brian (the owner of Kilduff machine) he will literally build you whatever you want, as long as youre very detailed on the measurements and specifics. Very straight and to the...

    IM BAAAAACK!!!! (tons of pics!)

    sure is! 3qt setup with the 22-25psi EPC valve. works very well. even though canton recommends using the check valve upon installation the unit will still peg 40psi pre-lubing when i hit the key to start. Mind you im running a good ol 1515 with the viton bypass valve, so im sure that helps. I...

    IM BAAAAACK!!!! (tons of pics!)

    So after a 4+ year hiatus (sorry...) I FINALLY got to the point in life where I could afford to play around and build my 66 the way I have wanted to since i got er back in 2005. 4 years ago I took this pile-o-smiles on its first legitimate car show, 200+ miles one way, and actually won best...

    Early A body Slant/6 to 70's 360 swap

    The 727 wont clear the pinch weld in the trans tunnel without some massaging. as for the trans, my 66 was column and now its cable/on the floor via B&M kit and a kilduff lightning rod shifter. the factory 273 manifolds will choke out the large port 360 heads something fierce on the drivers side...

    I went with RMS uca's for my 66. 300 for a pair you cant go wrong. they come with balljoints and your choice of bushing or heim-type joints. Id never go back. they are fantastic.

    Center link rubbing oil pan

    2 things, I had to dimple the pan on the drivers side to clear my 318 in my 66. engine is from an 87 gran fury highway patrol car. second, when I did my suspension swap I pulled a durp-a-durr move and installed the drag-link backwards, and it rubbed the par on the bottom like crazy. the angle to...
