You called it, Missing Linc. A big “R” in the seventh position of the VIN. And that’s a fairly sparse fender tag. I think I used to know what all the codes meant, but I’m getting old…

It did come with rubber flooring…

So… it was so basic that it was special—I love it! It certainly wasn’t a 340 car! But now that I think of it, it may have been built in Canada. I’ll post a pic of the fender tag later today. Thanks, guys.

Hi folks. I have a 1971 Swinger “Special” 2-dr hardtop. It came with a 225 /6 and three speed manual (column shift) transmission. Bench seat in front. I’ve long since installed a 408 stroker V8, four speed floor shifted transmission, bucket seats, suspension, brakes, etc. etc. I’ve often...

Hi folks. ‘71 Dart, with a blue interior that I have gradually been converting to black. I was going to replace my original blue cloth (perforated) headliner with a new black one. Replacing would also allow for me to weld in some new seat belt attachment points that are a few inches forward...

Original invoice:

As you can see, there is a rubber hose for the rear lines as well. If you need it…

Forgot to add photos!

A couple months ago, I ordered brake parts for a front-brake overhaul. I have a ‘71 Dart, with the front brake conversion done years ago. From Rock Auto, I ordered calipers, pads, hardware, and hoses for what I thought was the correct “fake” car—I told Rock Auto I had a 1979 St Regis 5.9L...

Does the OP still need a set of long bolt-ins? I have a set (uninstalled), from Mancini.

Well, it was a long time ago that I purchased the dash pad but I don’t think it said anything about CARB2 compliance. It never had a odor though. Interesting thought about moisture from outside—while the interior of the car does not smell musty at all, I do have a couple of small leaks around...

What a great question! I don’t think so, but I guess it’s possible. It happens whether I’m driving it or if it’s just sitting in the driveway.

Hi folks. 1971 Dart. About seven years ago, I replaced my cracked dash pad with a quality repro item. Can’t remember exactly from whom I purchased it, but it was one of those well-known places. At about the same time, I got a new Legendary vinyl upholstery, front and back. Ever since about that...

Dang-got plans with the grandkids tomorrow! But thanks.

hi folks. I need the little plastic bezel that surrounds the glove box lock on the basic Dart dash without the wood grain. See photo. Need blue like the photo but will take any color! Thanks!

Flywheel is MacCloud steel neutral balance. Clutch is Centerforce dual friction unit. And no, it was not all balanced as a unit.

Moper- you may be onto something. I did NOT dial-indicate my bellhousing. I thought about it, but I’ve been through that before and it was a lot of trouble for unknown benefit. But I have no chatter at all. Could bellhousing alignment be off so much as to cause pretty significant vibrations in...

Thanks everyone. SSG-yeah that was my initial thought. Two years ago I got that sorted out. It took a couple of shims but it’s right on the money now. Doing that changed the character of the vibration but didn’t eliminate it by any means. Justinp61–you must have been ecstatic when that happened...

Haven’t done that but probably should. I would be FLABBERGASTED to find out that was the cause. It feels very mechanical and very much tied to vehicle speed. Also, when I let off the gas the vibration gets worse, like it’s my driveshaft flopping around. I guess my question is “could I have...

I cruise at 65/3000

Sometimes the vibration is worse than others, for reasons I don’t understand

There a little vibration in my motor when standing still and revving, but not much. I haven’t actually shut the motor off at 30 mph but my sense is not much would change in what I perceive as a driveline vibration.

1971 Dart. 408 (360 LA block). I’ve been chasing what I think is a drivetrain vibration for a couple years (!). Lately, it occurred to me that maybe it’s an engine balance thing. I don’t think it is... the vibration is in the seat of my pants, starts being noticeable at 30 mph and gets...

Ok, I give up. China walls??

Hmmm... I don't think those are what I'm looking for, but thanks for the response. I'm pretty sure that's what I have on there now. What I do know is I have the FF tubular upper control arms and the FF seamless tie rod adjuster sleeves, so that's probably where I got the tie rod ends, 6-7...

I'm going to be redoing my suspension soon, and I remember seeing some really nice tie rod ends somewhere… They had polyurethane boots with a nice wire tie holding them on. Does anyone remember seeing these? I need 11/16" ends ... thanks!

Thanks! I'm on it ...

In other words, what should I "pretend" that I have??

i have a 1971 dart but have 10" x 2-1/2" brakes on back. What should I search for when ordering parts from, say, Rock Auto??

UPDATE: I've been out of town for four weekends in a row, but yesterday finally had the opportunity to take a closer look. I jacked up the front end, put a couple jack stands in place :D and slid around on my creeper. Results? Nothing! I couldn't find anything that looked loose, bent, out of...
