Not UTG but there’s more…

I that once I’ve got it running I won't be getting back to swapping engines later. I think I’d be putting the slant six back in if it’s ready to go because it sounds like you’ve got enough other things to get to.

I love this Signet!

For my ‘66 the service manual had some really detailed drawings

Wowza! That’s super cool!

I know what you guys are talking about when a simple upgrade to my car becomes a big project. But it can be worse: I met this girl and said hello…

I think the first question is what exhaust manifolds or headers. Do ‘68 manifolds fit on an early A? I doubt it but don’t know. So it’s either ‘66 & earlier manifolds or headers. So I think the first decision is what manifolds.

Here’s my ‘66 Convertible

In general the Hi-Po 289 had the edge on the 273 Commando depending on drive rear axle etc. But the Barracuda had superior handling.

I’ve got an extra pair of vent window frames for a convertible if that helps.

Does this help? The vent window frame on the convertible is different from a hardtop. The Conv has a flat top while the hardtop is pointy.

Thanks! Been watching your progress. I would not have made as much progress without Cosgig’s assistance.

Today’s project is installing my NOS air cleaner. I bought this off of eBay many years ago. The seller said his dad worked at Chrysler HQ Highland Park. He claimed this was in the underhood mock up area for years. I knew exactly what he was talking about because I remember going to that room in...

I bought some tires for the car today and I didn’t think I’d need to tell them white letters out. But we are road ready but still plenty to do.

My ‘66 was a radio delete and there is no hole in the right side front fender.

Now that it’s home there’s still lots to do. I need to get tires. And I can now install all of the parts I’ve been accumulating for the last nine years such as the door panels; I even put one on today.

A build sheet or a fender tag (with a matching sequence number on the radiator support) is the only way to verify if it came from the factory with a four barrel engine. It’s cool but I don’t think anyone really care’s except a few of us.

That is a cool car! A really cool car! And with great options. I don’t think painting it would add much value even though it’s not really all original with the grill lights and side marker lights added. It is usually best to spend as little as possible on these early A-bodies. If you’re...

After almost a decade my 66 Convertible is running and even licensed again. I bought this on eBay about seventeen years ago. I drove it for quit a few years. I was putting off replacing the clutch because I knew that would be the snowball that started the avalanche… and it was. The good news is...

All 1966 Valiants have the same rear glass. It is different from ‘65 and of course ‘67.

Hi-Po 273! 1965 Dodge Dart GT

I love seeing well preserved cars like this and an early A too. One day left to bid on this: Single-Family-Owned 1966 Dodge Dart 2-Door Sedan

The ‘66 Valiant & ‘66 Barracuda bumpers are the same. Everyone with one of these cars is looking for nice bumpers. If you have no bumpers you’ll probably have to locate some used ones & they most likely will need to be rechecked.

The ‘66 Formula S handles good enough that it can be easy driven in todays aggressive traffic. Not too bad for a 56 year old! The limiting factor for improvement will be tire width.

That is superb.

Nice car! Usually the big deterrent to disc brakes on our early cars is having to switch from 13” wheels to at least 14”. You are already making that upgrade. I have had a ‘66 Valiant convertible that I upgraded to the larger 10” drums brakes (like on your car) and it worked ok. But I now have a...

I’m sorry but I’m not sure of the details but I don’t think they are not totally correct. I think for some years there is a difference between two and four door rear seat cushions. The four doors having the rounded corners for ingress & egress. They may think a four door is always a sedan & two...

I really love this.

I’ve had this off the road for a long time. And I knew once it started it would be a “since it’s apart you might as well…” But it’s coming together.
