I’ve decided to just update it as I feel like it. Haha.

That’s awesome! Congratulations! I hope my influence was ultimately helpful, and I’m not convincing you to make bad life decisions. Haha.

@@DeadDodgeGarage Oh this is ALL your fault so we are in this together! Hahahah If you have an email I'd love to send you some pics. She "seems" to be 90-95% original but maybe your eyes could catch some things.

Proud of that. Haha.

Thank you, Brian! I appreciate that. I’ve got more coming up.

Yep! You should have a three piece kickdown setup with a firewall mounted pivot. Later slant cars use a different setup, something like the one piece rod used on V8s for many years. There is also a different three piece linkage setup used in some applications - I don’t know which have which, really. Also peculiar on your early car is the accelerator rod - it rotates! There is a goofy linkage setup above the accelerator pedal that makes that work. V8s in those years used a big weird linkage with a bracket on the back of the driver side cylinder head. You’d definitely go to a cable setup for the throttle. The 2 barrel carb is turned 90 degrees, but I have actually seen a factory ‘63 kickdown linkage adapted to one and it somehow worked just fine.

Ah, I forgot that part of the story. Funny of course because he owns an actual lil red. Haha. I’m not sure why they did that either.

No idea. Haha. I didn’t think it was a factory color actually. For some reason the various green color codes are Greek to me.

Interesting! Hadn’t heard of that setup. Might need to try that next time. Yes the intake is definitely a bit of a let down, I might have to try something different for science. I think the 650 will do what we want for the most part. It’s not going to be a high RPM machine.

Could well be! Definitely a similar theme.

Yes, that’s a factory emblem! Found on other body styles as well - my ‘66 Charger had the same badges.

Interesting!

I don’t like their sliding bracket setup myself. It seems kind of janky - but the cable is essentially late model factory stuff which is nice.

The bracket is actually of extremely high-quality, accurately cut and fully-adjustable.@@DeadDodgeGarage

Well I didn’t see one. Lol. My Duster had it. I think the Demon does too actually, but no washer tank currently.

Literally what I told him.

You only learn that the hard way once… ok, maybe twice.

@@DeadDodgeGarage LOL.....that's how I learned to mention it!!!!! P.S. - it was spectacular 👍

I would use the factory linkage! In my experience, it works better. But the cable is an acceptable solution if your linkage is missing.

Fire it up. I’m surprised you are getting any oil through at all - you must have magically ended up with the driver side oil hole lined up. Each side is only oiled at one point in the cam’s rotation.

Yes it took me awhile to line up the cam holes. When I lined up the driver side it just flew right up. When I lined up the cam hole passenger side hole come out a little bit of a flow Like I mean no pressure. Thank you again

@@danperry4875 Gotcha. I have experienced the same thing trying to pre-oil small block top ends in the past. I still wouldn't be afraid to run it and see what you get.

No! Which really means someone would have to offer me a truly ridiculous amount of money.

Ah heck, I don’t know actually. It will be back for a round of more serious tuning in a week or two, I’ll try to grab tire sizes then.

No idea. It’s definitely not a muscle era Mopar color.

This has been changed to the later 5x4.5 “big bolt pattern” found on B bodies and 73+ disk brake A bodies

@@DeadDodgeGarage so did you change the axles all together or just the spindles or shafts?just getting into the old mopar stuff trying to revive my grandpas old dart just don’t know that much and there’s only so much I can find on the forums

3-2 never? Haha.

Eh… seems like too much work, and it looks like this one was painted with the engine.

Like you said in the video the exhaust is all noise and the cams not too aggressive that transmission can’t be cheap and the rear end is built. Can’t help but to wonder if maybe they were going to get a crate motor or something and just want a different direction and sold the car I mean, that’s the impression I’m getting like the two components are over built for the motor

@@michaeladamo6279 my thoughts exactly. Maybe the budget ran out? Maybe they expected a stockish 360 to do a lot more than it did? They definitely didn't know what was what as far as tuning goes, and I have to assume they had no idea it wasn't getting even half throttle. Maybe they sold it because it was such a turd. I would say it's definitely deserving of more poop in the engine compartment. With some more tweaking I can definitely improve things some more - that's coming next. I am considering offering up one of my spare manifolds to help improve things.

If you're boo on this car you should see mine ! 😂 Or even worse , check out ( burnout and break stuff ) 68 dart gt conv 4 speed ! If it's actually real I told my wife this guy is Waaay nuts ! 🤔
