    Parts?

    340 cast intakes will work also - that's how I'm going. Those and rebuildable Thermoquads can be found for next to nothing. Factory kickdown linkage and aircleaners will be a bit more, but are out there.

    Parts?

    I can't suggest what to do about mounting a radio, but don't cut that dash, whatever you do. Don't cut the door panels, either. I'm serious, don't do it. I know it's your car, but just don't. Very nice car, BTW. Get yourself a nice dual exhaust with two chambered mufflers, and you will never...

    Looking for overdrive trani advice for /6, please help

    You NEED a turbo. The turbo will increase MPG more than the OD. Sorry, I couldn't help that. I personally like the idea of the 200R4, had one in my old El Camino. Easy to find, and cheap, although I don't know squat about the conversion process. Seriously, though, a properly done turbo can...

    starts,won`t stay running

    That was my first thought, but I wouldn't discount the possibility of a combination of bad resistor and dieseling.

    Bad gas mileage

    If you know the percentage of error, you can correct the calculation. However it's one more thing to fudge up. Not to mention different brands of the same size tire measure differently new, and of course the diameter changes (albeit very little) as the tire wears. I fill until it shuts off...

    Bad gas mileage

    You can adjust your calculations to compensate for the different tire size using this: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html Or measure distance with GPS, which I have done. BTW, my '73 Duster with bone stock 318/auto with 2:76 gears in the 7.25 gets 16mpg with roughly 50/50 highway and in...

    The slant or the 318

    OP, you didn't say, but I'm assuming your Dart is a street car. That being the case, I'd stay with the six. Nothing better than a little variety. Plus an inline six actually sounds pretty cool in it's own right.

    Oil Change soon

    I sure would (down a toilet).:pottytra:

    Funny Slant 6 valiant video/song

    Sounds a tad like Ray Willie Hubbard on estrogen. Nevertheless, pretty cool.

    Mileage Question

    I think your highway mileage seems to be on the good side of normal. I would guess your in town driving habits could be to blame. I took my car from 11mpg to 16mpg just by driving it the same way I drive my TDI. That is, with economy in mind.

    do i really need a muffler??

    Not only will the driver get tired of it, but every onlooker is going to think it's just another old jalopy with a busted exhaust. That's what I would think. I'd still give a thumbs up, though.
