Post subject:  Tuning up the Dart

1976 Dodge Dart Sport Lite:

I got the new fuel inlet,and got the car running. It seems that the carb has a hairline crack on the outside,but is not leaking! I do plan on replacing it before the car goes on the road. Also the gas in the tank had so much crud in it that the gas was rust colored :shock: Buying a new tank(the current tank is rusty and dented up pretty bad!)


I want to tune the Dart up today(first day off in a few weeks!) I got a Sears inductive timing light from a buddy,seems like a nice unit!

I want to set the timing.Any tips on how to go about doing this? Also what should I set the timing at? This will be my first time.

I want to adjust the Valves,I have already bought a feeler guage set,and new valve cover gasket. What should I set the valves to? I know I have to do this with the car running,this will also be my first time adjusting valves!

I am going to replace the spark plugs,which plugs and gap should I go with(stock ignition for now)

I need to replace the heater hoses,what size do I need,and how much?


That should keep me bust for the day,thanks for any help!
