    Can anyone tell me what this is?

    My 75 318 Swinger had one of those........ I don't remember what they used it for, but it had something to do with emissions..... I probably still have it, along with all the other emissions parts I removed!!!!!

    help needed with 904

    I'm with AJ on this........ I tore my valve body apart yesterday because my car had hardly any reverse when cold, and sure enough, one of my check balls (#4 to be exact) apparently didn't get put back in when I did my shift kit..... Pull the valve body, do an air check on the trans to check for...

    Strange issue with my 904

    A big thank you to everybody who responded!!!! AJ/Form S is the man!!!!! A little 1/4" check ball (a 25 cent part) came up missing when I took the valve body apart (thank you mderoy 340 for the Ace Hardware reference)...... Replaced it this morning, and the transmission works like brand new!!!!

    Strange issue with my 904

    AJ/Form S, you hit the nail on the head!!!!! I did another air check on the trans and everything sounded normal........ Pulled the valve body apart, and wouldn't you know it, #4 check ball is missing!!!! Now I just have to find another check ball............

    Strange issue with my 904

    In 1, 2, and Drive, the pressure is at about 60 psi at idle and increases to almost 100 with the throttle pressure lever all the way back....... Reverse has about 55 psi at idle and doesn't get much better from there....... I did a Fairbanks shift kit, and I was very meticulous about making sure...

    Strange issue with my 904

    I rebuilt my 904 (non-lock up) in my 75 Swinger myself. First time ever rebuilding a transmission (searching this forum and buying an ATSG manual sure did make things easier)!!!! The issue I'm having with the trans is when it's cold, it does not want to go into reverse, slips badly (all other...

    Father-Son 1974 Duster Project

    I have a set of 205/70r15's on a set of Cordoba 15 x 6 chrome wheels....... They fit great with no rubbing at stock height..... I had a set of cop car wheels on my 73 Swinger years ago with 205/65r15's on them. Barely cleared the fenders because of the wheel offset.......

    Capacitor/condenser on back of instrument cluster on a 70 Dart?

    Both Classic Industries and Layson's Restorations have the limiter, not sure on the capacitor...... When I made mine, I used the voltage limiter body for mounting, so no wiring had to made, uses the factory plug in on the board.......

    Capacitor/condenser on back of instrument cluster on a 70 Dart?

    The factory voltage limiter and capacitor are pretty expensive to replace....... Unless you're doing a completely stock restoration, there is a way to make the same limiter and capacitor (solid state electronics that make a rock solid 5 volts) on the allpar website, and it's a LOT cheaper and...

    '73 Scamp Slow Build

    If I were to do another set of headers, I would DEFINITELY not cheap out and buy a set of Flowtechs!!!!! I had those on my 73 Dart, and flattened the front pipes within a couple weeks...... Your car is looking great in the short amount of time you've had it...... Looks like your ignition module...

    '73 Scamp Slow Build

    Nice looking car!!! I've seen that one on craigslist for a while...... I bought my Dart in April of last year from a couple just south of Marysville off craigslist (traded straight across for my 74 Courier)...... Take your time, go slow, and things will turn out great!!!!

    75/76 Dodge Dart /6 average MPG and improvements

    360 stock intake manifold on a stock 318?

    I did the 360 2bbl swap on my 318(out of a 77 B200 van, Holley 2 bbl), and I love it!!! So much smoother to drive, throttle response is right now, and gas mileage didn't change at all (not that I care about gas mileage)....... Of course, maybe the BBD I had on the 318 was a piece of crap......

    1972 Dodge Dart Swinger Odd BUZZZZZZZZING Noise & Seat wires?

    My car had the seat belt interlock module in it, so it would be wired differently than a 1972 would be....... I think the factory manual might have that wiring diagram in it..... Besides, I completely rewired the dash ( removed the fasten seat belt\ interlock wiring)..... Wished I could help.....

    1972 Dodge Dart Swinger Odd BUZZZZZZZZING Noise & Seat wires?

    Those plugs under the seat are for the seat belt warning light (my 75 Swinger has that light in the instrument cluster like yours)....... I pulled all my wiring out for it, cuz it's annoying, and I'm not doing a factory restoration. There should be a small metal strip attached to the bottom of...

    Replaced factory temp gauge with another one.......

    Mine had the separate IVR, so building the replacement was easy......Got the directions from allpar.com, works like it should...... Guess I'm gonna find a gas gauge.......

    Replaced factory temp gauge with another one.......

    Found out after testing the old temp gauge that it was bad (IVR was smoked, had 13 volts going to the gauges instead of 5!!!), replaced it with a good tested unit (Thanks Tony!!!) and an IVR I built (cost me $12 from Radio Shack, SOLID 5 VOLTS!!!). Temp gauge works as it should now, but now no...
