    VIN Rivets

    The photo you posted shows a six-sided rivet. I thought you said they were pentagonal (aka - 5-sided).

    Pentagonal rivets??? That's one I've never heard. Do you have a picture of one?

    Tire clearance

    Now measure the clearance at the outside wheel arch/wheel lip at the top of the tire's tightest spot. That's probably going to be where it rubs during normal suspension travel over bumps and such.

    Tire clearance

    I'd measure how much room you've got now with the current combo. That'll tell you pretty quickly whether 255/60s will work with the 8" wheel. The 255/60/15 will be about 1/2" wider at the tread on each side and 5/8" wider in the section on each side than what you've got now. Check section...

    66 Dart Owners thread

    Thanks! I'm shooting for something simple, so I'll probably just grab a single double post manual mirror. They seem to be pretty plentiful from what I'm seeing.

    Do you know if they make a non-remote control version for the driver side?

    Is that remote control? Is that a remote control mirror?

    I found this: The 1970 Hamtramck Registry - 1966 Accessories Catalog Slideshow (Page 1) and: The 1970 Hamtramck Registry - 1966 Accessories Catalog Slideshow (Page 1) I'm thinking I'll just pick up one of the two post versions and tape it to the passenger side and see how I like it. If it...

    66 Dart Owners thread

    You mean all side mirrors were special ordered and none were necessarily "standard?" Only reason I ask is I just dug out the mirrors for my '66 to reinstall that I had taken off and stashed many years ago. Turns out, they're cheapass Taiwan aftermarket pieces and aren't worth putting back on...

    66 Dart Owners thread

    Do you guys know if there was a standard non-remote controlled side mirror used on '66 Dart hardtops, or if the location was even standard? I've been looking through this thread and there seems to be no less than 4-5 driver's side mirrors used and the front-to-back location seems to be all over...

    64-66 Dart GT Question - cat whiskers

    Thank you! I was more interested in how far back the rubber nubs from the vent window seal go past the vertical trim/run channel and meet with the cat whiskers. The reproductions from metro that I've got go further past that vertical run channel and overlap with the cat whisker unfortunately...

    64-66 Dart GT Question - cat whiskers

    Would mind snapping a photo of the other side, where they meet the vent window frame/vertical run channel?

    64-66 Dart GT Question - cat whiskers

    Thanks guys! I guess I can sleep tonight now. :lol: I do wish the outers were a tad longer. I don't like how the metal end drags on the window trim. I'll have to see if I can adjust the window channel so it doesn't

    64-66 Dart GT Question - cat whiskers

    For those of you with a '64-'66 Dart GT, can you do me a huge favor and look at your front window sweeps (cat whiskers). Are the front inner and out cat whiskers supposed to be the same length? I just installed a set on my '66 Dart and I feel like the outer one should be about an inch longer.

    Swapping 340 into 64 valiant. Center drag link hitting oil pan

    I wouldn't trust someone with 8 posts with a check or money order either, but I don't think asking for a check or money order is necessarily sketchy. You'll find one. Hell if worse comes to worst, I think Firm Feel sells them for $400. May want to give them a call. I got mine many years ago...

    Swapping 340 into 64 valiant. Center drag link hitting oil pan

    Sorry, but no. I bought it for my '66 Dart. You should be able to find a good used one for $100-$150. I certainly wouldn't pay $320 for one (plus shipping). That's just stupid. Just my $0.02. Have you placed a wanted ad?

    Swapping 340 into 64 valiant. Center drag link hitting oil pan

    His definitely looks like the slant 6 version to me. It's not exactly straight - it's got a slight drop to it (bottom picture).

    63 Dart 383

    Exhaust clearance issues, potential firewall/transmission clearance issues, potential cooling system upgrades, stronger torsion bars, shorter driveshaft, etc. I'm sure there's probably more. If you're having trouble figuring out the 318, I'd stick with a smallblock.

    2 types of Doug headers for early 64 to 66 Valiants ??

    You can't always go by the photos. I'd call CI and ask them what the manufacturer's part number is for the ones they list. I'd bet they're the exact same headers. To my knowledge, Doug's only sells one set of headers for early A's, but there are variations depending on the coating. If it's...

    If this is for me, about 30 lbs.

    Scat procar seats ? Anyone running them?

    Nope. It's the 1614 series seats. I didn't want something with large bolsters and this was the closest thing that would accommodate a shoulder harness.

    $34,000 '63 Valiant....

    Damn, that's way more than I would've put it at. I guess all it takes is two people who want the car to drive the auction price that high.
