So I replaced the speedometer cable in my dart. Hooked everything up only to find that the speedometer still doesn't work right, bouncing all over the place. So I pulled it out of the speedometer end and watched it while I drive and it moves but makes a very annoying ticking sound. Im guessing...

I've noticed that when I turn the headlights on in my 74 dart they dim and then get bright and dim again.... so on... and the same goes for my interior lights. What could be keeping them from staying at a constant brightness? Also the previous owner rigged up what I've been told is a bypass...

I have a 74 dart 4 door with a 318. The torsion bars are worn out, every time I turn one side dips pretty bad. Im assuming that's the problem anyway. But what size bar should I look to buy and what should i expect to pay?

Do the reverse lights in 74 darts twist out or is there another way of getting them out. I know it's a silly question but I went to twist then and had no luck. Didn't want to force it and snap something off. :-|

When i bought my 74 dart this was what the brake booster looked like and i really dont think its how it should be. My brakes are less than stellar so i figured this is part of the problem. Can anyone tell me what is covered by the tape and how to properly fix it? Even if its as simple as pulling...

So everyone puts dual exhaust on their 2 doors but I have a 74, 4 door dart that I want to put dual exhaust under. Has anyone on here done that with their 4 door? And people keep talking to me about y pipe or fake dual exhaust? I guess I just need some info on how to tackle this project. Also...

Okay this is going to sound like a stupid set of questions. I have a 74 dart custom 4 door. I thought I had 4.5" spacing on the lugs but that turned out to be wrong....after buying a set of rims.... anyway, what sizes would this dart have? I measure 4.25" but I was told that doesn't exist ...

My windshield leaks a little when it rains and I know this isn't a problem to overlook. There are some trim pieces around window that may need to come off. Would simply putting a bead of caulk in the area I think the leak is coming from be an appropriate way to fix this? 1974 dodge dart...

What width of tires fit a 15x8.5 rim?? Smallest and widest?

318 in a 74 dart with a 2 barrel carb. Exhaust choke coil. Okay so her are my symptoms, start the car and it starts off fine. Pulloff works good (checked it). But after it runs for about 5 seconds it idles a little rough, doesn't die though. Then when I put it into gear, reverse or drive...

Right when I start my 74 dart it idles a little rough. I believe this is because of a sticky choke. Its a automatic choke 2 barrel carb I think. ( haven't had it long) it has a 318 in it with the the exhaust type of automatic choke. How do I go about fixing this problem??

I have a white vinyl top on my 74 dart that id like to paint black but I don't want it flaking off after a couple years. Any advice or techniques I should know? What's the right way to do this?

On the 74 dart I bought the guy before me put what looks like a thick speaker wire running from the alternator to the battery. Is this supposed to be there and if so why? I suspect something is wrong because when I turn on my lights, the gauge I believe that is for the alternator, drops down to...

I have a stock 318 in my dart right now and im wondering what are some things I can do to make my car a little faster without pulling the engine and boring it out and putting a new cam in it. I was thinking maybe a new intake and 4 barrel carb would help some? And im planning on putting headers...

Heres the first car ive bought by myself about a week and a half ago! 1974 Dodge Dart Custom with a 318 and 75,500 original miles. Everything is stock on it. Just replaced the shocks, found a new back tire that is the right size, and changed the oil. She'll need a little work but it runs awsome...

So I got my 74 dart last weekend knowing it needed shocks. It was very easy to bottom out when I pressed on it. So I replaced the shocks thinking that would fix the problem. It helped some but I can still press it down in the front to the point where it bottoms out easily. And when I go over...

My 74 dart has a wabble in the back right side when im going about 5-20 Mph. I was hoping its not the axel. And thought if it was the wabble wouldn't go away. Any ideas on what this could be? The shocks are bad in the car, idk if that can cause problems with wobble as well?

Im running into trouble trying to figure out how to remove my stock radio. The whole ac and heater core seems to be the main problem located directly behind the radio as well as the ash trey. Its not getting power and I just want to get it working. Where are the connections for power and of...

Im 19 and always wanted a old car to drive and work on. This weekend I found the one! 1974 dodge dart custom 4 door with 74,000 miles. Picked it up for 1500 dollars. It has a 318 that runs awesome! Its completely stock and I mean to keep it that way with a few minor changes (new exhaust, rims...

The seat belts in my 74 dart do not work very well. One rolls out if you do it slowly and the other locks up on the wall roller no matter what. I've taken it off the wall and played with it for a couple hours and it still has me stumped. Any ideas? Also learned the hard way that the plastic...

My speedometer needle has some problems. As I start to accelerate it bounces from 0 to 45 or 60. Then once I reach a cruising speed it levels out around 60 and never stops shaking . Where is the sensor for this located and is it a tough fix??

I just bought a 74 dart custom and wanted to dress it up with some beefier tires. what would be a good size tire/rim that wouldn't rub on the wheel wells? And I might put a 1" lift in the back, so a larger set in the rear is a option im looking at.
