1868 Dodge Dart restoration

Pictures of the motor would help. The spark plugs are in the center of the valve covers on a hemi.

The max wedge hemi was a dual four-barrel 426 or 413....I believe. The 3 two barrel was on a 440 six pack and a 340 6 pack version.

No such thing as a "max wedge hemi". Max Wedges, in either 413 or 426 cubic inch versions, had wedge-shaped combustion chambers. Hemis, obviously, had hemispherical-shaped combustion chambers. I, too, would like to see more pics of that Dart.

You are correct.

I thought Ford was first major automaker in US. Dodge built that Dart 3 yrs after the end of the Civil War according to headline. LOL
Nice car anyway. Looks good for something that old.

you beat me to the joke
Damn nice cars

Nice job! From 1965-1969, while I was in college, I had a 1964 Dart GT. Slant-6 with Hurst four speed. I loved that car. Never had a bit of trouble. When I graduated, I traded it for a 69 Camero, and kicked myself for years for letting that Dart get away.
