Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. There is so much to consider. Amazing that one model year difference (73 vs 72 and down) clouds the water so much.

That looks great, man. My car is a 73 though, just to be clear. Will this set up still work? Any other mods beside lower ball joint? And, do I get a lower ball joint for 73 or 72 and down? Alignment needed afterward? Lots of questions, but I want to do this once with no hassles or surprises...

I'm looking to do a front disc conversion on my 73 Dart with 10" front drums. I want to maintain the sbp because I only want to swap the brakes and not the rear axle, wheels etc. I really like the 14' tire, white wall and wheel cover look and can't be bothered with the expense and hassle of...

In the fall 2016 I did a 5 week cross country trip (that included Route 66 ) from RI to California, part way up the Pacific Coast Highway then to Minnesota then home. 73 Dart with 1971 225, 2.76 rear, 904 trans, Holley 1920, points ignition, timing at 5 degrees, 205 75 14's. Car loaded with...

Amen, brother.The days of just running these cars without going through fuel and brake systems are over. (have been since the 90's ) Sometimes you just wanna hear it run though when you first drag it home. When I do a car these days, I replace all the things that could leave me walking unless...

Two things come to mind. Many years ago, when getting my 70 Charger running, it wasn't getting fuel to the carb. I replaced the pump and even the rod that activates it off the cam. Ran fine with an electric pump plumbed from a gas can with rubber hose, but . . . Anyway, even though the lines...

Cool deal, man. Great score. There's something really cool about using these cars as intended for the seemingly mundane driving chores. It makes them less mundane and is such a treat to see my old mopar parked on a city street or shopping mall parking lot. I ditched my modern driver a few years...

Dan, I checked out the link and it prodded me for application info. Said it won't fit a 71 Dart (my 73 has a 71 engine) Is this simply a new application part that happens to work in the old slants? I've got an ancient plastic elbow and metal base Fram pcv in mine and I've tried two of those...

Got me a copy of Dodge Dart 60-76 last week and I really enjoyed it, as I do road test books from most any American make. What made this all the more enjoyable is the fact that there were several road test reports of /6 powered cars, rather that just the more muscular models. It was interesting...

Nice! My first car was a 71 Duster. Not nearly as nice. Not nearly as special. Cuz it was 1984 and they were every where, and rotted to the gills around here. Kid scored big time. Great for him!!!:thumbsup:

It might just be bouncing around on top of the intake valve. So, yeah, pull the intake and check. If you can't find it, off with it's head and pray the damage isn't too bad. Good luck. Al

I have a 73 Dart with a 71 slant six, bone stock, no emissions crap, ign timing set at 10, 2.76 gears, auto, and 205/75/14 tires. Just got back a few weeks ago from a 38 day, 8,035 mile road trip. Car loaded down with parts, tools, luggage. Lots of cold starts. Some heavy city driving (Chicago...

Thanks for responses. I got home and checked my PST catalog and they list a different application for 73 to 76. I'll just buy a "round peg" rather than trying to modify my car to accept a "square peg" Al
