Why yes I have actually. Taking the water-pump off my 78 Chrysler New Yorker in a drug store parking lot 100 miles from home with children in the back seat in February in South Dakota. On Sunday. In a podunk town where all business's were shut down after 5. It was 6. Thank God local bar...

of course it's my one day off for the next 3 weeks; and it snowed last night and it's 10 degrees outside and I have my 2-year-old. Bah, Humbug. (he who really wanted to take a screwdriver to the Dart's carb today) Grr. I might do it anyway. *rummages for a snowsuit size 2T* :) Matt

watch "Waynes World". Garth has a Pacer w/a rope-licorice dispenser on the headliner. :) Matt

FWIW; it has rubber flooring, like a cop-car.... Matt

I'm willing to learn.... Baby steps, baby steps. :) Matt

2 Darts: drool! Beautiful. Old Tired Rebel: heh; I can barely change a starter and you want me to Weld stuff!!! ;) RaniDart70: thanks. Unfortunately the older kids live 100 miles away. My 12 and 13 year old stepsons would much rather be on Xbox Live *eyeroll*. The two year old shows promise...

Such Wit and Wisdom on this site!!! Reminds me of Scatpack.com.... anyhoo :) Special shout to 66fs for the step-by-step... that's exactly the guidance I need. Years ago; when I was really really poor and lived badly, I had a plethora of ultra-cheap cars. Like; buy 3 $150 cars so...

@ RaniDart70: No disrespect for wagons whatsoever. Wish I had me one. Hell; the only 2-door Mope I've had was a 76 Cordoba. :) My reply was more in the "yeah I've got 6 kids I need a wagon " vernacular ... :) :) :) Matt

@ 73Scamp318: I'm in Sioux City. Matt

Ha ha ha the wagon jokes commence;). Shoulda kept my 1970 Chrysler Newport if years ago I knew I'd have such a brood! (Or the 68 Fury fasttop.... 71 Imperial ... the 7 !!! 77 Newports I've owned....) Maybe you can tell I'm more of a C-body guy. :) I've only owned two other A-bods; a 71...

I appreciate all the encouragement. :) I will download the manual and get schooled on checking the timing and all that good stuff. Unfortunately I work 50 hours a week and have 6 kids. ;) But I will chip away at the Dart and post my progress (or frustration) . Matt

Thanks for the welcomes and advice! I am glad I came here. I know it sounds silly but I needed someone to tell me to grow a brain and work on this **** myself. I know it's not rocket science ; I just have no mechanical background and the most basic of hand tools. Oh; and to clarify a...

It's a Dart; not a Pacer. ;-p ;) Matt

....cuz that's my plan. The sad reality though is I can barely keep my 74 Dart on the road much less make it an ultimate anything. I would LOVE to get her to a point she can be a 4-seasons-Iowa-shitty-weather-mobile; but alas, that would take a lot of money and mechanical prowness. Of which I...
