I recently got my 383 parts back from the machine shop. Took 2+ months for a valve job on new aluminum heads, R&R pistons, hone cylinders, polish & rebalance crank. Took me a while to find a trustworthy shop in my area so that slowed my build down significantly. I kept tasking around until I got...

Yes, the bolt you are turning is adjust the torsion bar preload which raises or lowers the front of the car on each side. There is a setting for front ride height in the Factory Service Manual (FSM). If you don't have one, you can download a PDF version from MyMopar.com for free. Specs below are...

Welcome from FL. Love the GTX

I was on my high school rifle team. Shot bolt action .22s with peep sights, targets at 50 ft., either 3 or 4 positions depending on the tournament. The range was in the basement of the school, and we competed against other local schools as well as participated in state and national tournaments...

The coat hook looks like the one in my 67 hdtp. Could an early 68 build thing. My 67 Satellite hdtp has fender mounted turn signals and the dash indicators work as well, but I have seen others mention missing bulbs and taped over holes in the cluster. Maybe a cost savings on lower priced models?

My wife and I talk about this from time to time. We don't have kids or any family that would have a clue what to do with old cars. If any of them do express sincere interest, they can have them when the time comes. I hope the next owner(s) will enjoy and take care of them but don't think I'll...

Will do. I recommend you don't put your phone # in this thread or it may show up in internet searches. Best approach is to provide contact info via private message (little envelope icon at top between your username and the alert bell).

I have a spare or two. Can look this weekend.

If you don't have a service manual, I recommend downloading it from MyMopar.com. https://www.mymopar.com/downloads/servicemanuals/1966_Dart_Coronet_Service_Manual.zip I've never worked on a poly, but the LA and Magnum SBs are prone to leaking between the block and timing cover. If the timing...

In college, we used to mix Everclear with various fruit juices/drinks and make Strip & Go Naked punch. Relatively cheap buzz, but gave a nasty hangover.

Happy Anniversary! 55 yrs is a helluva milestone. We're coming up on 38 and that's far more than most couples we know. Good thing about starting young when you don't have much is that you know no one is in it for the money, prestige, etc. Biggest plus is that you build your life together.

Welcome from just up the coast. Good luck with your projects.

Happy Birthday Fran! Hope you have a great day!
