The 360 in my son's car was starting, idling, and running well with the timing set with 3" exhaust pipes ending short of the rear axle so we could install a rear sway bar. Today, we had the remaining segments of pipes over the axle and the tips installed. Because of the tight fit between sway...

For a '74 Dart Sport. Preferably with few to none dings and dents. Shipped to Troy, TX

Just installed the HEI conversion kit by Trailbeast in Aaron's Dart Sport we swapped a 360 into. Went ahead and got the recurved distributor with it. It fired right up with the new distributor set roughly like the original, although it was idling a little ragged. Tomorrow we are changing out...

Many of you may recall that my son Aaron and I have been rebuilding his 74 Dart Sport over the past three years after it was totalled his last year in college. We swapped in a 360 for the original slant six and kept all the old wiring harnesses. For the past couple of months, while doing all...

All throughout the break-in period and tuning on an indoor dyno, the 360 we built for my son's car maintained a solid 60-70 lbs oil pressure. Engine is now in the car and running great; however, the dash light stays constantly on. Any ideas why this is happening? I suppose I could tie-in a...

The Dart's 360 with Holley double pumper was broken in and tuned using an MSD box on the dyno. When the engine was installed in the car with a Mopar orange box, it took us a little while to realize we needed to reset the timing because of the difference in the boxes. Got the engine running...

Can someone post a photo of the lower end of a floor-shift torque shaft assembly where the lower rod attaches with a rubber grommet?

Anyone else have trouble installing a fixed rear seat back cover from Legendary for a 1974 Dart Sport? The seat bottom fits like a glove, but the back cover is off quite a bit. I tend to suspect that the cover I received was for a fold-down seat back, not fixed. If you have photos of the...

Aaron, who some of you remember from our days of restoring his '74 Dart Sport, is graduating from Texas A&M next Saturday. It's been a long, hard road, but he has finally earned a degree in manufacturing and mechanical engineering. Even better is the fact that he is starting his first job in...

My dual-speaker brackets are usually priced at a fixed $26 each, with a discount price of $20 each for a second one or more. From now through December 31, I am offering them at $20 each, and shipping is always included. Since there are only a few weeks left, and because I keep a limited supply...

Venus, Texas, that is, near Ft. Worth. It got me to wondering - what are some of the oddball-named places you have been to?

Over the past few years, I have sold a few of my dual-speaker brackets to some of you folks here in the states and in Canada. Now, I can say that I have gone international... I finally shipped my first one overseas to Australia. I was surprised to learn that the shipping was extremely...

I know some of you probably have (or had) a B-body car. I asked this question on FBBO a couple of days ago, but no reply so far. I really need to know as soon as possible. The earlier B-body cars used the same dash speaker as our '67 -'76 A-bodies. I need to know if the '70 Coronet uses...

Late yesterday, I got a call from my son Aaron who is attending Texas A&M. He first assured me that he was OK, then said that some guy just ran a stop sign and drove his truck over the front end of Aaron's Dart Sport. Ever get that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach? For those of...

Replace your worn out single-cone dash speaker with dual 3.5" or 4" two-way speakers. You may have seen these in other FABO threads, but I just wanted to mention them again before you wrap up all your holiday shopping. I have a few of each style for A, B, E-bodies, and Ramchargers. Priced at...

I was recently going through the records I keep for the sales of my dual-speaker dash brackets and noticed something interesting. Of all the sales I have made over the past five years, you folks here at FABO have bought over 52% of the total number. For that, I thank you. Your support is...

I already have a separate thread to discuss the front dash dual-speaker adapter brackets I make and sell (see HERE). The purpose of the poll here is to determine the level of interest in an idea I have been discussing with our resident powder coating guru CudaChick1968 (Leanna), owner of...

Sorry, my first poll... see "NEW" poll thread.

Gentlemen (and a few ladies), I've been off grid for a little while since the Duster project has been put on a slow simmer while Aaron is off to college. Many of you know about the brackets I offer which allow you to swap out your old single-cone 4"x10" front dash speaker with a pair of new...

It sounds like a tin can being kicked down a cobble stone road. The problem is the globs of body filler the factory sandwiched between the inner and outer skins has all fallen out over the years. What have you done to fix yours? I'm thinking about using a long skinny tube (like the clear...

... on a Carter BBD. I've set all the carb adjustments as best I can, according to the rebuild kit instructions and the literature Dan provided in another thread. When warmed up, the engine idles nicely and runs great at low or high speed. It's just a booger to start cold. I fully believe it is...

I'm watching "Ghost Hunters" on the SyFy channel right now. They have had this show on TV for several years and I have watched many of their episodes. However, after all the years and all the locations they have visited, I have still not seen many instances of what I would call "proof...

This is for you guys running Super Six slants with a Carter BBD 2bbl. When warmed up to normal operating temperature, what is your idle speed set to in PARK and then what does it drop to when in gear? I tried tuning the carb to 750 rpm in PARK, but once I put it in gear and turn on...

Do any of you make a living, or at least supplement your income, by working at home? I don't mean as a mechanic, tax consultant, interior designer, etc. I'm talking about one of those (legitimate) "Work From Home" ads you always see. Just curious...

I thought it might be a Morris Minor, but now I don't think so. Anyone have a clue?

Aaron came home from college over the weekend to leave his slanted '74 Dart Sport with me to diagnose and hopefully fix. He has been complaining for several weeks about how badly it has been running. I got a good dose of it this morning on my way to work. It fired right up, idled fine...

I know the '73-up UCAs are the ones hunted for by those wanting to upgrade to disk brakes, but I don't know how to tell the difference in them vs. the earlier ones. Doesn't it have something to do with the size of the ball joints - what do I look for? Anything for me to measure so I will...

A couple of weeks ago, member 2 Darts came down from Dallas to pick up a rearend - in his 4-door Dart. :thumbrig: Nice looking car, Steve. We muscled the 7-1/4 and four wheels/tires into his trunk and back seat. The little Dart was squatting a bit when he drove off. It was great meeting...

And I mean CAR magazines, by the way. Which ones do you think give the most bang for the buck in terms of quality and quantity of content, and number of issues for the subscription rate? If you had to choose only one to read, which one would it be? Don't be embarassed if it happens to be...

Here is a drawing I made of the measurements taken on Aaron's '74 Duster project we are building. This is a stock '69 B-body 8-3/4" rearend (not narrowed and perches not moved in), with American Racing Torque Thrust II 15"x8" rims and 235-60R15 BF Goodrich T/A Radial tires. The goal is to...
