    Mystery smoke from gauge cluster

    The dash regulator is in the temp gage, or the fuel gage I dont remember. but if it is working you can see it pulsing with a mechanical volt meter. if the fuel gage is responding then there probably not an issue with the regulator as it would have taken out the gage or the sending unit in the...

    Mystery smoke from gauge cluster

    The fuel gage and the temp gage have a nichrome wire that gets hot which makes the gage move. Hopefully the dash regulator did short "on" causing 12 volts instead of 5 ish through the gages.

    273 or 225?

    Well, since you are not concerned about originality, I would go the 5.9 route because you will spend a lot more money trying to get the results of a stock 5.9 out of the 273. The other route would be something like a turbo /6 and that isn't cheap either.

    1964 plymouth valiant Slant six to 340

    I may have a drive shaft for you, it came out of a 64 dart with a 4 speed and a 8 3/4 rear end. if it is the same length then it should work for you. it is better than the stock ball and trunnion. what I am not sure of is the difference in wheelbase between the 64 dart and the 65 valiant...

    Early A Body slant 6 to 340 engine mounts

    When I put a 273 in my 63 dart in 1980, we put the 273 and transmission in the car and held it in place with jacks. We then used cardboard to mock up the engine mounts and then transferred the cardboard to steel and welded them together.
