    Passed by loaded semis? Crazy. Even my 1500cc Civic doesn't get passed by them on the seriously steep grades going up the mountains on I70 west.


    Oh, yeah -- I have similar memories of my friend Mike's Dart (same engine).
    It was -- kind of scary in that regard.

    Did they have the windshield wipers that were vacuum operated??? They would stop when the engine was under a load and you couldn't see squat???

    I don't recall - I don't think so.
    I do know that my parents' 1955 Buick Special did. You step on the gas, and the wipers s-l-o-w ... w -- a -- y . . . d --- o --- w --- n ---

    Mine no.
    2 speed electric wipers. Knob on the dash for off-1-2
    Highbeam switch right next to the dead pedal.

    Oh man.
    Sorry OP. This thread made a hard left at Albuquerque.

    I dunno, any time you can talk Dodge Darts -- those are good times.
    My Drivers' Ed car was a '73 Dart. The thing I most remember about that car -- the horn ring was a little plastic strip around the inside edge of the steering wheel rim. Depending on how one gripped/turned the wheel, inadvertent horn honkage was common (hard to avoid, in fact).

    PS I've never been a big fan of linear thinking :)

    because most all cable is made over seas where most of the world is metric.
