Apologies for some dumb questions from a Mopar rookie, but I'm interested in recommendations for some resources for 273 ci V8 maintenance and repair. Specifically timing, valve adjustment, points gap specs, 2 barrel carb adjustment, etc. I don't see an applicable Haynes Manual. 1964 Dodge Dart GT Convertible, with a 273 and automatic. Thanks in advance.

My Mopar site has factory manuals you can download but I see they don't have 64 and the 66's are different in many ways. Try a google search. There are reprints for around $50 and CD's for around $20. (I like the books better. Way easier to find info in a book)
 
Yup, get the Factory Service Manual. The REAL FSM. Not a Chilton, Motor, Haynes, or Wangchung repair manual. The honest to gosh Chrysler Service Manual. It's all you'll ever need. Accept no substitutes.
 
Thas ok (lack of a Haynes manual) for applications they do exist for they work best for fire starter. Haynes manuals suck anyway.
