Lemme say this.I actually drove a 66 dodge D-dart.It had a super steep geared 8 3/4.a console 4 speed,and that car would haul ***. It wasnt big on the top end but getting there was fun and fast.I actually passed on the car for the princely sum of $100.Sheiot.

That car looks super nice.The one im lookin at is nowhere as nice as that car. If I buy the car I will need to go over everything. I figure with Bristol raceway 30 miles away it could be a lot of fun. Im 6.3 and my head hits the roof.I will post pix if I buy the car. Wait til ya see this thing.

This will put you close to tdc.Now continue to turn until your timing marks...

Well I guess it all matters on what you want to spend. A good 8mm set would be tops but you can probably get by with a cheaper set. Just be careful routing the wires so they dont hit anything hot or where they will rub.Buy some wire looms to help ya out.Back in the old days I would go out at...

Are all the vacuum ports attached or plugged?

First thing I would check is the firing order.

My apologies. letter R is sticking on my keyboard.

Lookin good! A guy a know had a lil 273 with wiseco pistons,10.5 compression,.484 mp hydraulic cam,LD340 intake. That sucked sounded like a hi revving built 340.
