I have a Sunpro super tach mounted to my A pillar. I used one of the trim mounting screws through the base. No mods required, and it works great. I can get pictures tomorrow, if you would like.

"Why take a chance with an off-brand or one without a box? Aftermarket Units have been known to leak." My brand new aftermarket sending unit seal works a hell of a lot better than the original did. And the sending unit actually, you know, works. And I couldn't help but notice it apparently...

I don't know. Year One has B body moldings, but nothing for the A bodies. I would try to find someone parting a dart out, or post something in the wanted section, as most guys toss them the first chance they get.

A good place to start would be telling us what you want it made out of, (I'm assuming a mild steel will be fine), and do you have any dimensions on the part?

It should be a 904. The only two autos Chrysler made were the 727 and the 904. The 727 was available behind the big blocks and small blocks in certain applications, and the 904 behind the small blocks only. 318s in the A Bodies came with 904's. This should help...

It was part of the "Bright exterior package" from what I understand. Got you that trim, plus some trim around the windows. Mine had it (72 as well), but I pulled it off when I repainted it. Interestingly enough, one side was glued on, the other side had holes drilled in the body for mounting tabs.

I believe so. The pictures I found show hoods that look very similar, if not identical. But I don't have any first-hand experience.

Out of curiosity, where did you end up taking the trans to?

Which trans? 500 or 518?

I had a couple buddies (back when I had a trans am) that would load up on the seafoam then take their cars down the highway, just for the looks they got. Good times.

If you're looking for cheap, just grab a kickdown cable off of a Dodge truck or a van. I've got two kickdown cables (one already went into the dart, works great), one from a 4x4 durango with an A500 and one from a late eighties dodge van with an A518. Both the cables are the same, just make sure...

A&A transmission has them. http://www.aandatrans.com/search.aspx?keyword=fuel+line Third item down.

It would have changed the amount of fuel at idle. The RPM adjustment for idle is the screw the controls how open the throttle is. It's located at the bottom of the throttle bracket. As was stated, 1.5 turns out is a good starting location for the idle mixture screw.

But how well does it flow compared to the RPM?

So this is an issue with the Magnum intakes, right? Not the LA ones?
