This is my first time building an engine and am so close on piston ring gap I figured I would ask before exchanging them. 440 bored .030 over will be a street engine, 9.2:1 The book I have says compression rings .013-.025 Sealed Power says .004 for every inch of bore for a performance engine...

I have a 69 Dart with factory power steering. I can move the steering wheel back and forth about 4-5” without any movement in the wheels. With wheels in the air, I can see the input steering coupler move with the steering wheel however the pitman arm does not move at all within this slop range...

I have .150 clearance on my high speed drum with the wavy snap ring in (.050). I have a 4 disc setup so going for .048 (.012 each disc). Even if I go with a .106 flat ring I’ll be at .094 clearance. How can I make this up now? I read I can use one of my old steels between the pressure plate...

Could have swore I had a post going about this but can’t find it. I ordered part #4222731 kind of on the fly and it is too small. Does anyone know of a plug that will fit a 1.25” opening? Pics attached.

Looking for an antenna delete plug #4222731

This is the 2nd time I’ve attempted painting interior parts, first one was the steering column, and the same thing happens. I believe it’s fish eyeing but don’t know for sure. It’s done it with 3 different spray paint types on 3 different parts. I sanded all the parts down, wiped them well with...

I want to put the battery in the trunk and want a disconnect in cab for security purposes. I am not worried about NHRA guideline but…. if I went this route could I just add a master disconnect to the line side of the Ford relay to be within NHRA guidelines down the road?

Just got some new felt and tabs for the front of the door glass run channel. From what I’ve reached looks like I need to: -Pop the door glass out the top -Take the entire window channel with the vent glass out the top -Cut some holes for the tabs in the new felt/plastic -Trim the top side of...

Good morning, figured I’d post up since I’m sitting on the couch drinking coffee this morning. 1969 Dart 360la, 727. Ran and started fine prior to me messing with it. I replaced plug wires, and a ground from the floor shifter, car was down for about a month and I didn’t put the battery on a...

Found rust in the trunk, package tray, back wheel wells. Not excited about it. All I have done in the past is wire wheel the crap out of it then KBS coat it or Rust Bullet. Any other tactics you all would recommend? Should I just sell it? Always a love hate thing with this car, today is a...

Hey all, Ended up selling my 74 Dart Swinger and grabbed this sweet 69 Dart Custom! Want to be able to look back at what I’ve done so going to try and post up every time I do something. I wanted a car that was mostly complete and after buying the 74 and realizing I did not like the “beak”, I...

Was reading it’s not a good idea to use the stock hood springs as they can potentially crack the fiberglass. What all are you guys using? I have been using my old lacrosse stick for too long. Was looking at something like these: Two USA-Made Hood Lift Supports (Shocks/Struts/Arm Props/Gas...

Good morning fellas, I have been researching more and more on the Gen 3 Hemi swap and trying to get an accurate idea of what I’m up against. The harness/electronics side confuses me and quite a bit of questions are based on that. Would any of you who have done the swap mind chiming in on this...

Good morning all, so I purchased a 69 Dart with 360 LA, 727, 8 3/4” with 4.10s. And I feel like the thing is a pig. When I first got the car I was strapped for time and I just wanted it running well so took it to a local “classic car”shop and they replaced a few plug wires that were burned, set...

I have an automatic 69 Dart with a floor mounted shifter with an offset mounting plate. Pic is attached. Does anyone happen to have the same setup and know what carpet to order? One of the carpet websites I asked said it looks just like a 4 speed but they can’t guarantee fit, so just want to be...

Planning on ordering the kit below and also some remote terminals. Wondering if you all had some pics of your engine bay setups? Was thinking of mounting the remote terminals in the rear/passenger side of the engine bay along with the starter relay. Complete Aluminum Battery Box Relocation...

Planning on getting the 440 in the car this winter and have read I shouldn’t break in the hyd. Flat tappet with a set of new ceramic coated headers (Schumacher) installed. I have some manifolds I could bolt on but sound like a pain to break in with manifolds then remove and bolt on the...

Need to attach this back rest to the car somehow. It has a decently thick backing behind the upholstery. My first thought was drive a few shallow screws from the trunk, through the metal bracing, into the back of the seat, but even making them as short as possible would have me a bit worried. It...

Hey all, feel kind of dumb posting this with no real data to give you, but figure it’s worth a shot. TCI 727, not sure on mileage, drivetrain is borderline “tired”, brand new Hughes torque converter, made this grinding with the old TC too though. Makes a grinding noise sitting at idle in all 3...

I have always been curious about doing a gen 3 swap but I feel majority I see ditch the factory injection for a carb or throttle body and slap in a 727? Isn’t the whole point of swapping to a newer gen setup to have easier to tune fuel injection and an overdrive transmission?

Was trying to dig around to quiet some rattles down and found my window track “felt” inside of the doors is shot. Where can I buy these or what is the proper name?

Bought my 69 dart with the hood springs disengaged. Managed to get my hand in there but definitely not winding the spring up enough to get back on the pin. Starting to look like I may have to take the door off….any tips?

I can push the inside lock down with the door open, close the door, and it doesn’t lock….the inside lock pushes back up about 1/2 way. Can only lock if door is shut, from the inside or from the outside with the key. Both doors are like this. Is this how they are supposed to be?

Can anyone recommend a shop near Denver CO/ CO Springs to rebuild my 727 for a mild build 440? Just want a basic rebuild with shift kit.

Hey all, I have a 69 Dart with a 360la/727. I changed the flex plate to a B&M balancer one as the last owner had the incorrect plate in and a new Hughes converter. Now the car won’t shift out of 2nd. It shifted a few times at about 3k but now if I even if I manually shift it won’t go into 3rd...

There are no numbers stamped anywhere on it. Pulled it off as suspect for an imbalance vibration I’ve been experiencing. Torque converter had no weights on it either. Have a new B&M plate for external balance 360LA and Hughes 24-25 going in.

Trying to pull the TCI 727 off my 360 LA in a 69 Dart. Cannot get the top 4 bell housing bolts. About $75 in long wrenches and still won’t go. One of the bolts will not take a 9/16” either a 14mm fits better, weird. Any tips or tricks? I have no clue how I’m going to get these back in IF I ever...

Hey guys, looking to get some 18s on the Dart (I know I know, not everyone’s cup) and have some questions on backspacing. Between my wheel mounting surface and already rolled fender lip I have 4” and then from WMS to spring I have 6”. Total of 11”. Largest tire I could run would be a 245/40/18...

74 Dart Swinger Slant 6/904. The single wire on the left is brown with a white stripe. It goes back to the top right of the far right harness. can’t trace the right connector with 2 wires. Can anyone tell me what they are for?
