D/Dart in Stock

John,

Okay, I will answer one Chevy question.
Yes, they make very nice Tow Cars

I see your Moniker is dart4forte. I'm guessing, but did you have a
69' M-Code 440 Dart?

Back to Alan,
On Ted's old car.
If it was classed in L/SA (automatic), then that photo has to be from
1972.
L/S in 1972 was (12.50 - 12.99). Exactly where we were classed with our 67' Cuda and 273/235HP Darts.
Maybe they swapped the Holley for a Carter #4120A AFB, left the
Camcraft camshaft in, and claimed 235 HP.
That sounds more in-line. ET's of 14.20 would have easily been enough to capture a Class trophy each Sunday.

No, actually I own a 71 Charger with a stroker under the hood. It goesto Russo and Steel in January. I actually like the A bodies. I own a 64 sedan (post) that I'm putting the final touches on and a 64 Dart convertable that I just started. With the sedan I'm going to try my hand at Bonneville. Looking to start at the 130 MPH club and then move to 150 MPH club. After that I may go into class. Always wanted to try that out.

John,
Both cars are nice rides. Like the fenderwells, gives the car an
authentic Jr. Stock look, and a little easier to change the plugs, oil filter and attempt starter repairs.
I had an under-chassis set on one of my Cuda's, oil all over the headers,
near impossible to get at the starter wires and scorched hands from changing hot plugs.
Good luck on the auction. Hopefully you'll hear "SOLD, SOLD, SOLD"

* Oh, I bet that makes a nice vacuum sound whent hose dual-quads
kick in.

The guy that built the motor took them over to a buddy of mine and dialed them in on his S/6 motor. Once he got the leakers fixed they were both real crisp and idled they way they should. Time will tell, haven't fired my motor yet. Still some more things to do
