Someone be so kind to confirm this is the correct way to run the wire for the fuel tank sending unit?

Popped up to Massachusetts after work to pick up two 15" rims for Dart.

Looks like what I remember from my Darts, mostly 1970 through 1975 models.

Pulled out another folding table to lay out more stuff for installing; Ground out hole in fender to install a fixed post 1975 antenna assembly, attached one fender with stainless bolts, blacked out most of the radiator support and worked on the inner fenderwell liners.

Looking good!

The purists would say those fender bolts should be body color. I'm one that appreciates contrast. I actually like the stainless bolts, as they add classy (in my opinion) contrast.

agreed. plus keeping the paint on bolts as you tighten them can be challenging.

It's purely a hot-rod and a homage to the original Dart which itself was a conglomeration of various years, though it will be prettier than the original. Never got the chance to finish the first, it rotted away and was junked back in the early 90's.

Here is a video of my old Dart back in the day laying waste to a Buick GS.

Sometimes the old ways work pretty good; Some oven cleaner & a pressure washer hooked to the hot water in the kitchen makes short work of grease and dirt. Engine is a 318 from my Duster just hanging out under work bench after the 5.9 went in, good little trooper. It will do till the Supercharged 5.2 Magnum is built.

Comes in handy when you want to run a motor to check health- Just a single point distributor with a coil and and ballast. Flywheel and bellhousing from a 273.

Run a hot water line inside the house through a freeze proof spicket outside.
I ran 2, one on each side of the house, game changer.

Use it all the time for cleaning stuff.
The other day I actually turned my water up to 140 and de-iced my walkway.

Spent a few hours adjusting the passenger door "just right" installing the roof rail and door gasket and sandblasting and painting various bits.

Pulled valve covers on 318 to make sure no mouse nest while in storage, new oil fill cap, oil pressure sending unit, front harness took a trip through the dishwasher, windshield washer nozzles and hoses installed, drivers fender was adjusted fore & aft and locked down, inner shield installed along with fender braces on each side and radiator had blackout completed.
