As for cooling improvement bulletins. Besides the fluid fan drive unit, I think (memory jog) there was a recommendation for a station wagon
H.D. radiator, a fan mount-spacer kit (moves the fan 1" closer to the radiator), and deep grooved pulleys.
Hurst Model #'s started out as DP-FX-65 which were used on the 67'
RO/WO factory Hemi Super Stock cars. But these units were not shipped with the D-Darts. Still searching for the correct DP# unit.

Paul,
In the SS&DI article on my car, it said that Ted was running 7 leaves on the right side. The rear spring number on the D/Dart broadcast sheet is 804. I think the entire P/N is 2403804. When I had both D/Darts, I had Eaton make a set of new springs for the Mecum Auction car. Kept the originals just in case I want to restore "The Politician" to as delivered condition. It currently has a set of the original SS springs on it -- P/N 3412002-3. No "P" in front of the number. They also have an "X" number on them. I believe they were on the car when Jon Rasbach and Tom Flynn bought it from Ted.
