SSBC has a kit that uses your 10 inch drum brake spindles - makes the swap a LOT easier. Uses KH 4 pot calipers used on later cars. Mine came with stud locations for both big and small bolt patterns and the needed studs, so you can change them easily with future changes.

Remind me again where the beginning and ending of the event part of Rt 66 are...

It was really great to meet you Canadians at Moparfest and to actually see folks I have talked with on FABO for years! Special thanks to Larry and the Mopar Mad Men of Hamilton ONT. Hospitality goes a long way when you are far from home! You guys started something - Larry gave me a 70 Dart...

I just got home from a 5282 mile road trip in my Dart that included all of Route 66. If there is anything that I can do in terms of up to date information or site specific suggestions let me know.

For those who are familiar with my two part Epic Road Trip over the last two summers, I am pleased to announce that we made it home to Washington State late last week! Here are the brief numbers involved: Starting in Vashon, WA 6/1/23 my wife and I drove down the Pacific Coast Highway to Santa...

I think that the same LCAs and sway bars were used in both Plymouth and Dodge A-bodies from 1965 to 1972 - Somebody here correct this info if wrong. You could get a sway bar as an option or with various packages of options and they work with all the stock brake options, etc. I am far from home...

#1 Regarding your initial inquiry - Having spent 25 years regularly working on and showing my Darts, NOTHING creates more interest at a show than a car with a story! Figure out how to condense your car's story to a couple of large print (easy to read) pages and get ready for the questions...

Please continue to post about your set up as it comes together - more information is better :thumbsup:

since this isn't some sort of "numbers matching" application, why not get a matched set of Edelbrock AFB or AVS carbs - they make sets for inline progressive dual quads.

I bought a small clean agent halatron extinguisher for less than $200 that I keep inside the car for electrical fires, and a large ABC in the trunk. Squirt an ABC up under your dash and you are looking at big bucks to rebuild... I just looked and there are lots of Halatron ones for $200 -...

I lost three car friends in the last 2 years. In each case there was an actual "celebration of life" held 3-6 months after they died. There were some tears shed, but I think they were mostly after laughing about stuff folks had done with the deceased. In 2 cases it was combined with a really...

Well we dodged the bullet today. We had some heavy rain at the hotel in Shippensburg last night, but I think that it missed the fair grounds. Today it was cloudy/overcast but never had any rain all day and the temps were actually not bad at all. This compared to Tuesday when it was over 100...

sell the locals a first right of refusal. Then you can look for a buyer and if you get a legal offer from a legitimate buyer, the locals get to buy at that price if they want it. We buy such rights in conservation work all the time.

The traction was so much better there back in the day that the Ramchargers would travel to Cecil County to set records so Dodge could use the publicity to hawk their cars.

got my showfield stuff yesterday. Biggest surprise was that they rearranged the show field. A-bodies had been in about the same place for over 20 years, but not anymore.

1972 Cecil County Drag Raceway... THE TRACTION CAPITAL OF THE EAST!!!... SATURDAY SATURDAY SATURDAY!!!

Just got my entry package and looked at the map. The relative locations of the old vehicles (A, B, E, C) had been the same every year since my first visit to Carlisle in 1998, BUT NOT ANY MORE!!!. As you look at the show field from the grandstands, A bodies have shifted all the way to the...

Thanks for all your work on this, Hawk! If you need help with anything please post a request here. I can't believe that after all these years they have moved the locations of the various cars around! Did they send you a list of classes with numbers for location?

Not an A-Body???!!!

with a name like Low Darts I can see how you stumble across this!!! WOW... just WOW!!!

I'll he out on the show field, so I'll be makin' a list of who to visit at the swap meet!

I used their full car trailer behind their biggest box truck in 2001 to bring my Dart from Virginia to Washington state. One suggestion. There were two attempts to steal the car out of 3 nights on the road. One night they tried to steal the whole trailer with the car on it, 2 nights later...

In my mind it's always a question of striking a balance. Where is the spot where the extra horsepower starts to interfere with what I want to do with the car. Last year my wife and I drove across the country mostly on 2 lane blacktop. I sure was glad she chose the Plum Crazy paint! Every...

louvers? WTF?

That is Mopar Collector's Guide (why I cancelled my subscription years ago). That is NOT Mopar Action, which was the most useful one of the bunch. Best tech information available for both mechanical stuff and restoration. Best info about useful parts sources.

I the dog's owner still alive (it isn't the dog's fault)? Paying for the damage?

Biggest concentration of Mopar parts is usually all the way to the back next to the vendor gate

OK, I'll go as far as to say you should NEVER use a deep pan without the requisite pickup/filter extension.

If you don't have the extension to move the intake to the bottom of the pan then the deep pan is useless as the extra quart can't be picked up and moved into the system. You might as well not have changes from the stock shallow pan.

I presume pan came with spacer to drop the filter/pick-up?
