Wanna see another quick video of the car?

Quick shot......oops

Ok, grabbing the camera and a beer, and headed into the garage........

Here is my temp sender 9-A Is this 9 for 1969?


if you look you'll see the ribbed hose strapped to the heater hoses and the strangely yellow painted striped choke hose......

And some more markings... 362 CL

Here is a cool clip probably missing from amny cars to hold a vacuum line secure

PCV painted, grommet as well

This may be common but I have never seen it before.

Now this is cool..... it shows the drips/runs/and paint spray pattern

The under side of the spare tire well

Body calk on the gas tank strap mount

Some of the undercoating, just past wheel well, on frame and gas tank. See the weep hole in the exh pipe

Well you can see where this is headed..... radio is already on the rock station. I'm going to drop the oil(excuse the fram filter just an interm clean up cheapy) and swap a few fuel system and ignition items to see how well it will run. Just run of the mill parts house stuff for now. I have not restarted it since I drove it (just the length of my adjoining cul-de-sac) for it's SPD 505 "Birthday"


I've got a few hrs, today is the memorial for a Buddies son who lost his life in Afghanistan. Say a prayer for the family


Later I'll start to degrease, and clean it finally...off until Tuesday

Have some fun when you get her on the road! Here is a shaky in car picture of my barn find '69 340 4-spd Swinger on its first run since '73, the speedo wasn't hooked up yet, but with the factory 3.91, it screams

I agree yeah 3.91's are allot of fun especially with a 4speed. How is your Dart? I do want to compare notes with you since our build dates are just a few days apart, thats cool.

Heres a video, I think the water pump is the noise I previously thought to be the throw out bearing. The alternator belt is also heard briefly. No worries I manually cleaned around the plug bases and blew the areas clean as I replaced the plugs.

Darts 340 Running

ALSO NOTE: That the passanger side shock tower area cleanned up pretty nice

At the start of the video was a commercial for Gumout engine cleaner and degreaser...subtle hint maybe??

That pass fender well looks good! I'd guess the rest of the engine bay will come out like that.
More please!

Gunk does nothing to this baked on, age old grimey messs, I plan on paint thinner or gasoline

Ok I cleaned a little more (just a quickie) and snapped a shot. I was curious too. I also soaked a rag with some thinner and rubbed the tops of the valve covers and it helps. I have a plan...

The underside of the hood looked rough so I did a test spot cleaning. Now I'll be back to the Cuda, and I'll spend a little time on the Dart this weekend

So I'm looking at the title and it's actually from 71. It states previous title was from Ohio as the plate in the pictures of it new reflect. Dang he titled it in Ohio from here as a GI. His memory was off.
It was a tiny yellow title but if I had read it closer it's there. So do I go ahead with a lost title and transfer to keep this one or not?

Lately I'm not sure that I want to keep this car. I haven't done anything to it and just wanted to settle on a plan over time but nothings really sounded good.
If I do keep it I feel pressure to leave it as it is with the exception of detailing and replacing the wasted interior componants and windshield. Opinions/ideas?

The pressure is on I personally love that car and would only do the interior work for now. If I didn't already have my Swinger, I would make a move on your's
