    Timing or carb problem? Not sure.

    Trying to get my '65 Dart running. Pulled distributor and found gear broken in half. Replaced distributor. When I try and start it am having 'blow back' or gas spraying back out the carb (backfire?). With a friend's help we did clean out the Holley one barrel and replaced some parts on it...

    Smoking ballast resistor ain't a good sign...huh?

    Couple days ago I spent $5 at Oreilly's and bought a new ballast resistor for my '65 Dart. While trying to get the Dart started today, still working on timing, smoke started to come up from the resistor. Took it off and out the old one back on and continued trying to get the Dart started. Guess...

    What does the timing mark on my '65 Dart...

    ....look like? I have a slant six 225cid. Had to replace the old distributor with a new one. Now I have to attempt to find TDC. Was wondering if the timing mark on the harmonic balancer is a machined indentation or a groove or what? What should I look for? Glenn

    No start on '65 Dart...

    Newbie to this ignition deal! '65 Dart not starting. Turns over very well. Will not catch. So I thought maybe I'd start with new points/condenser. Got new points and condenser today and installed them. Went to set gap. My distributor shaft isn't turning at all. Won't the shaft turn even if...

    No start. Work the problem with your help!

    In August I bought a '65 Dart. Owners said it had been sitting for last 4 years. It would start right up then. In mid-September on way home from brake shop it started running very rough, but I got home. Next day would turn over but not catch. After some checking I discovered gas had gone bad and...

    Which one is the #1 plug? I dunno?

    So my 1965 Dart has the large slant six. So which spark plug is considered the number 1 plug? The plug nearest the radiator and fan? Or at the other end of the block, the plug nearest the firewall? Am not sure. Glenn

    Been too long! How do I remove a burnt out turn signal bulb?

    The left front turn signal on my '65 Dart doesn't work. The other three blink quite nicely. So I figure a burnt out bulb. I remove the amber lense and try to remove the old bulb. But nothing is happening. If I recall right these old style bulbs don't screw in or out. There's a trick to them...

    Tachometers for dummies!

    Would like a add a tachometer to my '65 Dart. The previous owner added a 'Sunpro' oil pressure gauge, which is mounted on the bottom of the dashboard. Is 'Sunpro' a decent brand? I don't want to spend a boatload of money on this. And yes, this is all new to me! Any thoughts? Glenn

    No headlights...

    This 1965 Dodge Dart I bought a few days ago doesn't have working headlights. I looked at the fuse box and all the fuses seem to be in working order. All the other lights, brake lights, backup lights, dome light, turn signals are working. Just no headlights. Is there anyway to check if these...
