Excuse the crappy cell pics. My camera has been MIA for a while now.
Some peripherals. It was set up as a race car when the P.O. got it. He took the automatic, fuel cell out and put in a correct tank and a 4-speed that needs much adjustment.




Can't find that part number, but looks like a single plane to me.


Someone put some money into the ignition.

Wiring is in need of some repair. Or at least a little cleanup so I can feel a little better about the connections.

Interior to clean up and 'organize'.





Trying to decide if I want to change out the piston grip for the other shifter.

Ahhh. Progress. I somehow pulled some wires loose killing the tach, water temp gauge and the lights to both Friday of the Nats. Got them re-connected to the fuse bock on an extra accessory spade on the fuse block. Will have to go through them later when I have more time and remove the 'light' wires from the connections and move them to a source that is only on when the lights are. They are all connected right now.

No progress this week. A little regress, however. Put the car away Saturday, everything was cool. Moved it Sunday and I had very little brake pedal. Small puddle of brake fluid on the floor. Popped open the master cylinder and the rear(front) reservoir was empty. Guess I need a hose or a line or hopefully not, a caliber.
Will keep posting.

Thats a really nice Dart!! Keep up with the updates. Remember some progress is better than none. I love 70 Swinger 340's so I'll be watching this thread. Keep up the good work!

Thanks. I try to do a little bit to it each week. That way even little stuff adds up to big stuff. Next weeks project is finding and fixing my new brake leak.
Not going to the level you are, but man, your car is turning out SUUUUWEEEEET!

Sounds like the master cylinder is leaking.

I sure envy you. Been looking for one for years. Never seem to be available when I'm in the market

Possible. Idk if I put it in here anywhere, but the rear reservoir(for the fronts) is empty. Nothing from the front section. I will get it up in the air tomorrow to diagnose. Master cylinder looks ugly, anyway.

No need to envy. Everything is for sale!
I kinda fell into it, but man, I sure did enjoy that fall!

The Swinger left today, headed for Connecticut. I will post on the new ride once I secure it and get it home.
Seems every time I start to talk about something I might get, it always falls through. So for once, I will keep quiet until the deed is done...
