I changed my '69 Dart over to power steering from manual because I have major shoulder damage on both sides. Now I can drive the car and not hate it. I have (which I believe) is a firm feel box with a slant 6 Saginaw pump. I bought the box used off a guy that changed his '72 Swinger over to...

Welcome to the site, I can't wait to see the progress on this one!

All of the work you are doing is pretty trick. My hat's off to you for taking on this build and sharing it with us!

You hit the nail on the head with this comment. Every time I see a person in a wheelchair, it reminds me that at least I can walk. Now getting up off the ground and standing when working underneath cars is a major undertaking. But at least I can do it. I knew a guy when I was younger that was...

I have the best of both worlds. My '69 Dart which has Doug's headers on a 340, has a high torque mini starter. It works fantastic and clears the headers by quite a bit. Definitely the way to go in this case. My '69 Valiant which is a 318 with stock manifolds has a high torque regular Chrysler...

Agreed. I sometimes think the overall pain gets worse every day...

I love it!

Are you still thirsty? Let's hit this bar...

It looks like it would be a great parts car.

I would replace them. If for nothing else but peace of mind like you are doing with the bearings. They aren't that expensive anyway...

Well, being a Canadian beer drinker, I've tried a lot of beers in Canada and the U.S.A. when I was down there in my 20s and that was a lot... Yeah, tastes change, but so do the beers. My go to in the U.S. was Coors or Miller High Life. It still is. I had my fair share of Pabst Blue Ribbon...

I like the way you think. O.P., You could take a page out of the '68 Super Stock Hemi A-Bodies and put 1'' aluminum spacers under the frame between the K-member and the frame to lower the engine in the engine compartment, and no one will know unless they look! Cheap and dirty...

Yes and as well it would be a 23 spline input shaft and non overdrive as found in '75 and up cars... The flywheel would be a 130 tooth that takes a 10 1/2'' 23 spline clutch disc and matching pressure plate.

I am not totally sure if they are the same because I have never seen a frame without the upholstery on it. But, my guess is that they all would have had the provisions for head rests built in all seats because it was an option. (Even in '68).

I had the front and back seats for my '69 Dart 2 door HT (split bench front and regular rear) done locally by a local guy that does upholstery on the side and I am pleased with the results. He did the front and rear seats, cleaned up and painted the cores and fixed the springs as needed, used...

I've had good luck with Classic Industries in the recent past (this spring). I talked to a young guy about ordering the parts I needed, and he was spot on. And the order came in ahead of time and was 100% correct. I haven't had a problem with Rock Auto or Summit in the past either, but it has...

According to the serial number and the other numbers stamped in the pad it's a 1972 model year regular 4 speed A-833 tranny. And the car was assembled in Hamtramck. Michigan. The majority of the V.I.N. for the car it came out of is on the pad : 2B219425 are the last numbers for the car it was...

Welcome to the site, yeah, we need some pictures!

Welcome to the site. That's a good looking car you have there!

I just use mental telepathy to communicate with others. But then again, you all knew I was going to say that...

I see it has Alberta plates on it. Does that mean that it is still an Alberta registered car? Do you have an original pistol grip shifter for it, or just the Hurst one as pictured?

Welcome to FABO, dig in and enjoy!

I would certainly replace it. Would you buy an engine that you knew had a piston like that in it to run it and not rebuild it properly? If you were selling the same engine, would you warrantee it? That will give you your answer right there...

Sorry to hear this. Take it one day at a time...

I love the ac/delco radio in it! That car needs to be completely gone through, top to bottom...

Love that video!

Too bad it was tagged in right rear quarter. It probably wouldn't be a bad car if it was fixed properly with a new quarter. That car would have all of the goodies like BBP discs on the front, seeing that it's a V8 car. Yes, I do have a soft spot for the 4 doors, it would make a great sleeper...

My hat's off to you for doing the mods it takes to realize your dream. It is a huge investment in time as well as money. You have to respect the racers back in the day that went the extra mile to make their cars faster... You are making an already great car even greater! I love the Demons! I...

I agree. However, 75W-140 GL4 is the same as straight 140 GL4 when it's warmed up. The viscosity changes as it's warmed up to full operating temperature. The ''W'' in any oil is for winter, not weight. And using GL4 oil is the right choice, not GL5 which is too slippery. So, the oil flows like...

Great topic. Personally, I've been lucky over the years, but I have almost exclusively used Direct Connection or Mopar Performance cam kits. And using the proper break in procedures with the right oil helps a lot. (prelube and start within the first 10 seconds) And to maintain the cam and...
