on your console I have a suggestion that someone passed to me here on FABO - attach the console carpet to the console using wide industrial velcro. You buy it by the foot, it sticks to the back of the carpet and the console - no muss, no fuss and when you need to get to stuff below the console...

It sure would be cool to have a stock appearing interior with a glove box door that opened to revealed something akin to a SciFi movie prop... Although in these the days of sealed batteries one of the slickest MSD 6AL installs I've see was bolted with the rubber isolators from the bottom of the...

8 1/4 didn't replace the 8 3/4 in A-bodies until 1973. I also have an unmolested Swinger with a 318/904 with an 8 3/4. Bought it with 27,000 miles on the clock so it's original. I have purchased 2 1972, 6 cyl, 4-door Darts with 8 3/4s in them, just to get the rear drum to drum. I think when...

put some washers under bracket with the loop that is attached to the frame in the trunk (not the lid). The situation that you describe puts a heck of a lot of stress to the latching mechanism and will eventually ruin it.

The amp gauges were never intended to last this long. You can get a modern under dash amp gauge and if you are careful, you can hook it directly to the existing Amp gauge wires and mount it under the dash. There are a host of positive diagnostic advantages to an amp gauge and a voltmeter and...

Thanks, but no it's not - that one holds the seat bottom in place and the one I'm looking for are the ones that hold the bottom of the seat back in place.

It's funny when I look at your pictures it seems that a bunch of wires are simply unwrapped (probably in search for issues in the past). Maybe someone here has pictures of your harness all bundled up and you could just re-wrap some in the groups like the factory. Or maybe there is someone near...

Thought you might want to consider this when you get to the point of installing your control module. I Customized a later plastic A-body glove box. It provides access to the controller and relay and has more storage than the crappy box Classic sends to you:

NO! Dodge (Dart Demon) and plymouth (Duster Scamp) use different splash shields.

dome light, courtesy light/map light all come on when any door opens, and come on when you switch them on with the doors closed - dual circuit.

I really like your Dart! One of the first cars I remember riding in was a 65 Dart 270 that was our family car when I was 9-14 years old.

Somebody else look at his firewall/wiring photo. I don't see a fat red wire and a fusible link headed for his bulkhead connector - did somebody already bypass his bulkhead connector?

A couple of suggestions when you are fixing this. I believe yours is a 1966 Dart? That means the wiring is almost 60 years old. The manufacturer never thought it would still be on the road in 20 years, let alone 60. Yoru under dash pictures show a lot of repairs from over the years, But I...

I think I'll stick with a heat gun for undercoat and wire attachments on an angle grinder...

Man are you guys old (in the head)! Sounds like the old folks when I was a teenager: "DAMNED KIDS AND THEIR CRAPPY LOUD CARS AND MUSIC!" ... and that was between 1972 and 76 for me!

That was just hilarious!!!! Made my day. :rofl:

I'm trying to get a picture of the bracket on the newer seat, is it welded to the seat frame? Somehow I thought that it was loose and just clamped the seat frame with the bolt...

This was stated early on. Are you sure that the close side didn't have more space when the rear end was an inch higher so that it was never an issue?

On 'later' Darts (74-76?) they moved from the earlier tabs that you bent over to a little one bolt bracket to hold down the bottom corners of the rear seat back. I had them on a 75 Dart which is long gone. Does someone by any chance have a picture of one of these little brackets, or better...

NO, JUST NO!!! The weep hole is an early warning system to let you know that the pump is going to fail so you don't get stranded. As said by SOOOO many above... REPLACE THE PUMP, ITS DAYS ARE NUMBERED!!!

I'm sorry that life has led you to feel this way, but there are lots of homeless people working multiple jobs to try and keep their family safe and fed and there are lots of poor people working full time jobs and getting paid squat because big companies know that they can profit off of the fact...

Now's the time! you don't want to bleed the brakes multiple times. Do the whole front system - wheel cylinders, hoses, springs under tension. You should at least consider the Master cylinder since there has been contaminated fluid sitting in it for so long. I'd do at least the front lines -...

Nice Car OP! Yes, the Special was the low priced low option version that year (Vin starts with LL 23 and the second L is for low trim level). Almost all Darts were made in Windsor ONT in 1970 (85-90%).

Enjoy yourself and meet some interesting like minded folks If the car has a story - who bought it new, how did you end up with it, what have you done to it since you got it, what do you do with your car - that kind of stuff always makes your car more interesting to others and serves as a...

IMHO...RUN, do not walk, away from these "universal" wiring setups (even if they are "Mopar specific") unless you have unlimited time and patience. M&H harnesses cost more but you can rewire the car in a couple days, and then follow the factory wiring diagram when you have issues down the road...

This won't help with the green bearings, but I had a similar problem and there is nothing to say you can't put adjusters on both sides. That allows you to move both axles as a set by taking slack on the side where you have more clearance and then adjusting the other side in to give you more...

see post #34

that front end is soooo cool! grille shaped like the tail panel. Even more intriguing is that the front fender edge leans forward so the hood front edge is more like a 1970-72 US Dart, with a thinner front bumper and Valance like a 70-72 US Dart. It's like the transition from the 67-69 US...

older 340s are pretty beefy, but you won't know unless you disassemble it and have the block tested

Since you say this is a street car with occasional forays to the track, a dual plane manifold like the one you have on it offers better low end throttle response (where the fun is on the street). The dual plane manifold is split in two (see divider under carb) and each half feeds 4 cylinders...
