It currently has the good ol' long hangers and spring helpers (that the previous owner installed because the springs are shot) so its sitting high in the rear as it is. Its funny, I found a mound of paperwork to back up all the work he did, $2200 in new front end parts and hundreds more in other...

I ultimately plan to throw 215/60r15 width tires on it since 195/75r14 appears to be what it would have rolled out of the factory with and this would correct the speedometer (which is wrong with whats on there now) but width wise the tires are the same as the current set-up. I was thinking...

Hello FABO! Edit: Title should say adaptors instead of spacers but the end result is the same so yeah... I asked this on an A-body Facebook group and got one answer and I am posting here to hopefully get some more insight (hopefully someone out there has done this exact thing and can provide...

So I have been having a hell of a time trying to tune a nasty flat spot out of my 74' with a /6. It would run fine down the road, accelerate great when already moving, basically everything you would want it to do, unless you were leaving from a stop. Leaving from a stop the car would fall flat...

Well I messed around with it. Its pumping fine. It had issues after where it would fall flat when I would give it throttle from idle but I drove it around the neighborhood and that went away. Drove it a few miles to the mall to grab some stuff at the store and it was about as exciting as driving...

Havent tried that, I assume the result should be the filter filling quickly since there is no resistance to flow?

Hi FABO! 1974 Dart with a /6. I dont even know if this is an issue or not, since the car runs fine, but every time I take a look at my fuel filter with the car running it only fills a small puddle in the bottom. I also dont actually see it pushing any fuel in the filter, leading me to think...

I took the bulb out of the bulb socket in the front left blinker, the part that the bulb itself pushes/twists in to. If I am using the wrong terminology for the "plug" where you put the bulb and subsequently put into the housing I apologize, but that is what I am referring to. When I remove the...

More info: Went out this morning and started by checking all the bulbs, bulbs are fine (swapped the LED for the incandescent). Discovered the following: 1. If you have a bulb in the socket the rear blinker works, but the dash indicator does not and nothing in the front. 2. If you take the...

I checked the blinker fluid and the level was fine and it smelled/tasted good still.. Jeeze I am not that much of an amature ;) Ill run a ground in the morning and give that a shot. As for being an old man leaving the blinker on, my kids make me feel old all the time but only in my mid 30s...

1974 Dart. My left blinker doesn't work. Right blinker works fine, flashers work fine. I get no light at all when I pull the blinker lever down, but it does lock and release on the turn like normal. The previous owner swapped all the bulbs with LED bulbs, but it worked when I got the car. Any...

Update #2: So after taking the car home last weekend from the alignment place I had just parked it and taken a peek at the cam bolts over the tire to see where they had them. It wasn't until yesterday that I crawled under the car to actually see where they had put things in relation to the...

The previous owner of the car installed adjustable strut bars when he replaced everything up front. They are currently adjusted as short as possible, pulling the lower control arm forward, and by extension of that, the wheels. Another thing to deal with when I go to undo a bunch of the stuff...

Yes I mean both cam bolts are angled out, front and rear, on both sides. I know that bringing the rearward cam bolt inward will increase caster, and I told them such, but its apparent they didnt listen. Like I said, just going to do it myself. If anything Ill get to teach my son some of this...

At this point I do plan to do this myself. The second shop I took it to, that insisted they could make it right, did manage to get it at least to the positive side of the caster gauge, but in doing so took all the adjustment out of the strut bars which brought my tires within 3 inches of the...
