I hope so, about 600 bucks to do the swap. Looking for a smoother idle. Will put up original 4295s AFB and 66 Cast iron 4BBL intake for sale was soon as I make sure my new stuff will fit under hood. I am pretty sure it will. I have a base that will fit the holley and still let me use the Chrome 273 air cleaner.

I agree this Dart seems to be a money pit. but I have driven it about 250 miles since I put it on the road, NOT on the road now, redoing some things. :banghead::banghead:

So true...I will say tho, it is a good running Teener. Just the idle is not what I would think it should be. But it is a hobby for me, and I enjoy wrenching on my cars.

to some degree... but the going for a ride thing is WAY up there too!!

I agree, I love cruising down the coast this time of year, and the looks I get. Around here there are LOTS of nice old cars. The Car **** post is all from near me.

That it is! Other wise just buy a car completed! I think it might be less expensive that way!

I always say, If you can't do it yourself, or have really deep pockets, Don't get involved in the Hobby. I got a guy with a 70 Hemi RR , I just looked at, and it's got a collapsed #6 int lifter. Dead Miss. Guy does'nt have a clue mechanically, and can't afford to fix it right now. Said he was gonna take it home and let it sit until later , or Sell it.

Even doing everything myself, right down to the upholstery, paint, it still is expensive. It might be that I am a perfectionist. I like what I have done, then later I say, I could do that better!

This guy sounds like my brother. I cant believe we came from the same parents. He has very little mechanical aptitude. But he has deep pockets, so he buys what he wants.

Yeah, I also have a guy with a NEW 79 Trans Am, That I did Road Racing Mods to. Tons of $$ and no knowledge. Now he wants to bring it back with another long list. I have somewhat of a niche around here for working on Custom/Hot Rod cars. But I really only do what I want to on em. I only do it to stay up on tech,....And for Beer and Golf Money ! LOL
 
Well while we are on the subject.. I can do allot myself as long as my body will let it.............
I just can not pull on a ratchet anymore, so I am lucky to have great friends and two strong 30+ year old son's.
Not a perfectionist unless it is a life or death thing like fishing, planting and showing off in front of my wife...

This did get dun, for the coffee crews eyes only :glasses7:

Perfectionist has gotten a negative meaning with people. A wise friend I know says "strive for excellence," I thought that was a good way to put it.
