    72 Dodge Dart Swinger

    Valve lashing / adjustment done. Actually very easy to do while it is running. Valve cover was a ***** to get off only because of all the fuel lines, vacuum lines, etc..... cleaning all that up is a project for another day. After doing it I would rather do the adjustments hot and running...

    Exterior trim yes or no

    I am thinking about only leaving my badges on as well. I want to find faded/ugly/cheap dart swinger badges and clean them up. Paint the black so they stand out on the white fender.

    Exterior trim yes or no

    When I get to the project of moldings I will probably shave what I can. Grind down studs and blend what I can.

    72 Dodge Dart Swinger

    It has been a month since finishing my dash and last posting. Been frustratingly busy .. . . . Since pulling the dash I have gotten to know the wiring system intimately. It's been a domino effect of problems. I think I have them figured out - for now- fingers crossed I can work on the original...

    72 Dart no turn signals or hazards

    Look at my 72 page. I get it. I ditched the stock everything and went aftermarket panel and Autometer gauges. I pulled my old dash multiple times to stay stock. Wasn't worth my time. I bought a new dash and spent 3 days putting it in and taking it out, trying to make sense of my situation. In...

    72 Dart no turn signals or hazards

    Nobody will probably be able to give you a direct answer. Not the answer you want, trust me I know. You will get lots of ideas about where to start, but your going to have to put the work in. From experience......and it started with my aftermarket gauges as well....... get your volt meter out...

    Exterior trim yes or no

    I think your good, I might and might not replace them. Dings I get, but looks and opinions are what I want to see/hear

    Exterior trim yes or no

    I didnt think about the tabs. Somebody ground the tabs down around the rear window so that i have to fix. The car was repainted and corners were cut as i get deeper into the car. If i decided to replace tabs i would probably try the screw on the aftermarket type.

    Exterior trim yes or no

    I bought a 72 swinger and I am missing left and right trim pieces of the trunk (quarter molding), and the L/R fender hood molding. I am not a guy that is hard on maintaining stock. I am trying to decide whether or not to complete the sets to make them whole because they are already there, OR...

    Turn signal trouble shooting

    I was just reading your posts @ Turn signal troubles about paths .... I disconnected the pin connector under the dash and tested each pin. Because neither front or rear are working I am thinking the path has to be earlier affected than front or rear.... Because power goes into the column, but...

    Turn signal trouble shooting

    Alright guys i'm back. My Autometer gauges are in - ground gremlin after gremlin, no water or feeding after midnight, i did it! Now for some reason, since tearing my dash apart, my turn signals aren't working. Working with my dash wiring post I downloaded the chassis book (72 Plymouth) and have...

    Mystery wire(s) help

    Completely agree: orange is ash tray light. Pink is lighter. Red fused was wired into the radio mess and grounded. Removed…. I am going to have to find out where the pink male from the middle of the lighter wire goes. Taped up and labeled for now. I can’t find the pink/red 90* female on the...

    Mystery wire(s) help

    I have been looking at the manual all night. The map light is the one wire i don't remember seeing. I dont see how a patch would work that far down the line though. The map light switch is near my left knee under the dash. This hot wire is behind the radio, and the map light is under the glove...

    I absolutely agree. However it looks hard wired to a relay or resister of some kind. I will look through the manual.

    Finally in and I am actually very happy. I was concerned about the arctic white, plain, dome auto meter gauges, but am pleasantly surprised. The gps speedo is pretty nice as well… I’m going to have to sell this wire diagram when I’m done - or frame it :rofl: Now to troubleshoot why my...

    72 Dodge Dart Swinger

    I've found white, cream and even gold in multiple places on the quarter panels. I've wandered if the fender tag has been replaced but I dont know. The door panel metal is painted black where it is usually body color and I have seen what appears to be black over spray in a few hidden corners...

    72 Dodge Dart Swinger

    The 72 swinger dash can rot in the wrecking yard! I broke my customized dash into a thousand pieces today! I was slightly pissed. I’m cleaning up somebody else’s wiring **** show. Why can’t I have the special, base, rallye…. No, I have the swinger. No other aftermarket dashes fit these because...
