No More Hilly Billy Ho-Tep for the "YARD" Dart 1966 Dodge Dart GT 273

[@kevinnobody3052]

I had a buddy years ago who had a '66 Dart with a 273 and a 4spd. He new how to drive it too. Had some good times in that car tearing up some country roads. Thanks for bringing that old Dart back to life.

[@peteloomis8456]

Those are nice days for us in Wisconsin because we already went through a snow storm & the low yesterday morning was 14 above & the high was 28 with the damn wind blowing . It should still be in the mid 50s for us but are getting screwed by old man winter already lol. I still need to add some extra leaves to the front springs on my plow truck so it sits better with the plow on it but I just can't seem to get motivated enough to go outside & get it done & over with because I hate the cold now because of my psoriatic arthritis I have . I have heat in my garage but it's full like yours is so I can't even get the front half of the truck in so I am at least off the gravel in my driveway . I love your dad's response when you said probably send dad under to get that old busted off bolt out lol. Keep the videos coming they are great !

[@jeremywilson2965]

Yea man the dart sounds great,,, I know how you feel about the weather, that sucks . Sometimes here in Alabama we can have 2 or 4 seasons in a day.

[@kingerikthegreatest.ofall.7860]

80 degrees to 40 and snow. 2020, the year that keeps on giving.

You can say that again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again

[@lateefcarrere1649]

Didn't you hear me slapping on the trunk lid? LOL! True story: years ago I worked for a supply company, & one day I had a huge delivery (by huge I mean we were stacked 2 levels above the top of the stakes on my truck - one emergency stop, & it would've been a $5k disaster). But I digress - I made it safely to the building's loading dock, & this dock must've been built in the '30's because I had to open the rear doors & lower the tailgate BEFORE backing in. I told the guys in charge of unloading: "Look, I can't hear you over the diesel - so you'd better do something to tell me when to stop." I also couldn't get out of the truck once I was backed in - so it was up to them. Well, it ended up almost like your video - back up 'til you hit something. The only victim was a special order toilet tank cover :) Fine job on the replacements though - you only broke 1 bolt, that's a win in my book.

[@johnelliott7375]

I had to revisit this since this came up.

Dad needs a beer 🍺

[@johnelliott7375]

I'm sorry I was hypnotized by the cam sound like you were. Next time I will be on the ball. Sounds great I'll know what to expect for mine if I get lucky to get it for the right price that you have said to pay for it. Good night and stay warm. 20° degrees here at midnight almost. TTYL love the sound of the engine with the cam you got.!!!

[@shartne]

After seeing the bent bolt and shackle this really needed to be done. This might help in handling some and other stuff I dont know about. Too bad you cant get clearance enough to back it up enough to shut the door. Dang its cold here in southern Oklahoma burr so I know its even colder in Kansas. I still like the Yard Dart it does sound great with that cam. I believe she is setting up a little bit higher. Yeah the homemade shackles sucked.

Not on camera, but he definitely smoked while fighting that broken bolt

nice video just getting the time f year it getting cooler here in memphis Tennessee here all so but no sho yet and do not want any show being i have driveing job and ppl do not know how drive in the snow here at all ......

[@douglasshorter1513]

When the leaf twists like they have been heated or overloaded two one side in a accident I think they got the leafs from a junk yard they must of heated them to get them out and it overloaded it and lists it’s spring and twisted just my 2 cents but looks good I think you should paint it farmall red like an old h tracktor

[@kevinesteb4139]

The heads on the bolts are suppose to face the frame. This because if the nuts fall off the bolt is still retained. Otherwise you will loose something.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

Good think I replaced the broken bolt with a factory bolt

[@tomschweikert9537]

thats why they have bumper stickers saying to honk if parts fall off lol

[@joew7328]

Yep, gotta love that snow, lol, we still got snow on ground here in twin city from last week, nice to see the dart on vid again, is the yard dart still getting a different cam?

I did a video on the cam install and degreeing it a while back, it got a Mopar circle track cam that replaced the isky I had bought for it originally

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

I love it as well, it pained me cutting so much of the warming up and idling out the video, I could listen to that engine for hours

[@chapmanracing1206]

All the A body stuff I've worked on has had the bolt going in from the frame side. I was told by another Mopar guy they did that to keep volts from falling out if the nuts worked there way off. I don't know how much truth there is to that

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

Good info

[@huck01955]

We got the same shit today

[@whitaker2107]

a nice heavy canvas hanging from the bottom of your garage door will do wonders in this situation , but who wants to be warm anyways?

[@MakinEndsMeet69]

Hey Jed what are you got those High Shackles on everything you own no wonder why all your leaf springs are flat. LOL I thought people stop putting those on their cars in the 70s. Just like air shocks to get a lift, although air shocks are a better idea than those things. We can only hope for a better future. LOL. Stay safe stay well and as always God bless.

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

I dont have that many cars with these on them, the Dart will probably get new springs when I tackle that rear end

[@johnelliott7375]

Two of them.

[@williamsanders468]

I know it’s not apart of the video, but I’m just gonna add to not putting disc brakes on the rear of Jezebel, my tiny ass little Ranger has disc front and rear, for what reason I don’t know why it comes like that, and stopping pretty much everytime no matter how fast I go the weight transfers to the front pretty much everytime, back when I had a full size Ram the drum brakes in the back didn’t ever really pass for registration standards but even those brakes were way better than a ranger that weighs like 3300 pounds with maybe 150 horsepower

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

I have driven older cars like my charger with 4 wheel disc and it is massively overkill and to go along with that, I don't like going through the windshield when I stop. The car needs to retain it's day 2 vibe and disc brakes in the back kill that. Plus think back to the original version of Jezebel hopped up 440 and manual drum brakes all the way around and I never had a braking issue. When drums are set up right, they are just as good as discs

[@williamsanders468]

Is it just me or is the back wheel closer to the quarter panel in the back

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

The rear wheels look really close indeed, and this could because of a couple of things. 1 would be that when the cut the wheel wells, they didn't do a symmetrical cut, 2 would be that when they installed the rear end, they moved it forward in the wheel well as well. I am running a much bigger wheel/tire package than the factory could ever allow
