    LA/RB Swap

    No difference. Slant 6, small block, big block; all the same. Edit: When you said "crossmember", I assumed you were talking about the transmission crossmember. Then it occurred to me that you may mean the front "K" member. Those are all engine-specific, although there are conversion mounts...

    [FOR SALE] 68, 69 Dart and Dana 60 parts

    :welcome: You need to post prices, it's in the rules... Also, that appears to be a '67 rear bumper, as it has reliefs for the backup lights. '68-'69 does not.

    Is this normal, or am I really that sick?

    You're not crazy. I'm past the point of needing to have the fastest or quickest car around, there's always going to be someone faster anyhow. I've become more appreciative of a car I can actually drive and enjoy- something that starts, idles in traffic, and can take on extended trips without...

    Console top plate

    Speed nuts; find them at a good hardware store, your local Fastenal, or get them online.

    Gas spills when refueling

    Restrictor plate in the fill tube? Been considering that myself.

    Windshield gasket questions.

    I've used Precision gaskets a few times with good success. But honestly I've seen more issues stemming from cheap offshore reproduction glass (too thin) than with the gaskets themselves. Another thing to be aware of (and I don't have an answer for) is the new lockstrips, although they function...

    Body seam

    Clean it up and paint it. Final fit was never stellar from day one. Come up to Wisconsin, I'll show you what real rust looks like! :lol:

    Mini Tubs

    Even the kit needs to be cut in and welded, most likely trimmed to fit, too. Just sayin'.

    Gas spills when refueling

    Check to make sure the tank vent is open and operating. '66 and earlier with the small diameter filler necks are usually the ones that have issues "burping" fuel out onto the quarter panel- usually you don't see that with '67 and later unless there's issues with the tank vent, which is why I...

    Mini Tubs

    CAN you? Yes. WOULD I? No. Transferring them would be 2x the work, and you'd end up with schmutzed up tubs unless you spend hours cleaning the old ones up. Either way, you have to separate your tubs at the pinch weld, cut the trunk floor back to the frame rail, and relocate the inner portion...

    DR DIFF 10.95 stage 1 disc brake conversion for 1965 Valiant

    It'll fit as long as you use the adapters or swap to the '73 and later upper control arm, and the '73 and up lower ball joints for disc brakes (if they're not already included in the kit). If you have a front sway bar, you need to mount the spindles/calipers on the opposite side, ie, left...

    Should work.

    Quality control??

    But the QC guys give us so much to whine about in recent years, it seems like a waste not to... :)
