Look the tie downs over carefully. If its a good sized dealer, they have parts in stock and can change it out. I did need to help the guy out, he wasn't the most mechanically inclined.

I just can't seem to get mine on the road, let alone be somewhat reliable. I started building it with the intent on strong performance, but not a racer, yet reliable enough to road trip occasionally. Right now I'd be tickled just to be able to take it to one of this weekend s car shows. Got it...

@BergmanAutoCraft may know someone in that area

@67Dart273 is the one that sent me the link for the 42RE class video, Thanks to him & that video-gave me the confidence to tackle my transmission. Just now getting it back on the road because of other unrelated family medical issues. I bought a small shop press at Northern Tool for this project...

I can’t help you much with the diagnosis part, but if you determine it’s time for a rebuild, I found the following information helped me. I ordered the how to rebuild your 904 and 727 book by Tom Hand. Lots of good information on the forward part of the Transmission. As recommended by some...

Radiator cooling is all about airflow. (Duh, this guy’s a genius right?). But the reason I point it out, is that Chrysler knew this as well when they stuffed a 5.9 in the 98 Grand. They added air vents in the hood to help get heat out of the engine compartment. A big (enough) radiator is one...

When I say one out or two outs, I meant pairs. One out meaning a left & right (white/red) for rears. Two outs- apair for front and a pair for rear. I’m sorry.

The 30 Watt RMS Kicker would walk all over the 40 Watt peak head unit. Picture shows 2 sets of RCA outputs on the back. The specs say 1 pair of outputs for rear. Maybe updated? If you have 2 sets of outs, Is the 2nd set for a sub, or for fronts? If it is a front out, set the Input Level of...

Head units are usually rated at peak power, (read that as downhill with a good tailwind) whereas an actual amp is rated as continuous, or RMS. Also, there are different ways to get to 40 watts if you know ohms law. Power (in watts) is achieved from Amps X Volts. You can achieve a lot of voltage...

I'm wondering how long until I decide to re-do my paint. I did all the metal work, but was a skardy cat about attempting to spray the paint. I wanted to do all the prep and blocking, but the spray guy said "no, no, no, I'll take care of that" and knowing that prep is the most important part...

I forgot it was a carriage bolt, I was thinking it was pressed or welded studs. Thanks for adding detail.

Richmond to NY in 2-3 hrs? I thought getting from Chesapeake to NY in 6 hours was doing good. Must have a faster car than a Dart in your garage too.

I think a nutdriver (can't remember size) laying on your back and contorting your arm up to the speaker.

Lots of good information here, but I’ll add what I can to see if we can confuse you some more. As @273 said, it won’t be a set it once and be done thing. You can get it close, but as you listen to different music, you might need to tweak it now and then, eventually you get it where it sounds...

Thank you for all your replies. I've been sidetracked with other stuff for the past couple weeks. I'm going to swing by Napa, & if they don't have anything, then I'll do an amazon order. I had some from amazon that I used during the interior work, but it was kind of cloth based & wasn't sure...
