Time to get started.

Hi memike, just spent the last hour reading your thread. My kid has a 74' swinger with the 225. I would have to believe most of your upgrades would be a good way to proceed with a overhaul/freshen up/perk up? Of course it already has the electronic ignition, but carb, exhaust and stuff should be the same basically right? Our first /6 so it's all new to me. Thanks

Yes plum crazy, all the same and it breaths so much faster and easier and
I am enjoying the well over 23 mpg.. regardless what some folks say, but they don't realize this 66 hits the scales at 2.700lbs and all bearings wheel and rear end are new.. ...plus disk brakes drag and takes hp/mpg. But I will be upgrading to them . Thank you and I am always here if there is anything I can help with, I have allot of great /6 tec's behind me

 

[memike]

No updates I just need to file my mileage on this date.. she is a great driver indeed
Looks like I have drove her over 12.000 miles in 4 years

 

[grumpuscreature]

Did you notice the mileage in your last post? '67 273.... That swap ought to make Victoria hump up and git. LOL

Actually I did David I would race a 273 automatic and give it hell for the first 60 feet :bball: Bite's great off the line and jumps fast, I will keep my /6 and continue chassis upgrades :thumblef:

A day under Victoria , Greased and changed gear oil in my standard trans this week
I was happy to hear the phone ring and my friend across the hill invited me over
to use a stall and his lift ah and a couple wobbly pops.
I missed watching the last race of the year but well worth it

Dodge won the nascar championship Thank you Bad Brad K. in the blue dues

I was going to wait and get a good picture after a good cleaning :banghead:
But as mother nature has decided to chill down and rain today I could
not make myself go out in the shop and get moving on a detail of her
interior..
I drove her a few miles and back home and it sounds great :cheers: no static
or ignition noise :cheers: Thank you fanofpetty :hello1: I am enjoying FM stations know

I took this picture yesterday and seen she needs a good cleaning everywhere , the FM lights up and sounds great

keeping the old school way :bball:

 

[Dartnut]

Glad to hear you're giving her some TLC Mike.
I still love the fact that you drive it often.
I can still remember when you got Victoria, and you should leave the slant 6 in there.
It's part of her personality now!

Thank you Dartnut :happy1: It's good to hear feed back that members
are happy with the way I am enjoying Victoria and hope to make everyone proud of what you all did to get me a great Mopar in my life :hello2:
One day she will be a show stopper, but it will take time to get her where I want her :happy1: She is seen by many here and I enjoy all the conversations I get when going out for lunch or breakfast
She was born with a /6 and will stay that way :happy1:
Parts waiting to be put on, shaved 40k 1.77 stainless valves RV springs
all new built head and a pair of great hard to find 1/4 patch panels..
Still moving forward and still keeping her on the road when I am not in the Ram Wagon :hello2:

[memike]

Have an update , small one but an update :coffee2:
I opted to use my stash of cash to buy my sway bar!! to buy Grundy
insurance yesterday :glasses7: I know :sign3: I should have dun this a long time ago but as most of you know I have been using her as a daily driver, not much but I did
My Little girl will be safe now on the road trips to fun days to come :happy1:

Ram Wagon is doing great and he is easier on my feet having an automatic and with all this water/nasty wet roads he is best.
Casper has been a pleasure, My 2 sons gifted us a tint job for him :coffee2:
