    1969 Dodge A100 Panel van 8 door 108"

    As the title says I'm looking at buying a 1969 Dodge A100 8 door panel van with a 273 3spd. I actually have no idea what one of these is worth. It's over here in Europe so there's a bit of a premium but I'm interested what you guys think it's worth or how much I'd pay for one outta Cali or...

    Which one as Daily "pimp/luxoury" ride....

    You guys and galls all have diverse tastes and thus this poll. I currently own a nice and clean '96 Jaguar Van den Plas, power everything, all stock. Gold on creme leather interior, picknick tables. Needs rims and window tint to meet my 'wrong' pimp ride status. I can sell my Jag and get...

    How many cars is too many?!

    Allright guys and galls, I'm getting to a point in life where I've owned a LOT of cars, and even though I'm only 28 it's been well over 150, granted some only for a few months but long enough to love em' or hate em'. The problem I have is that I fall in love with cars very easily, they all...

    Why aren't 998 and 999's more popular?

    From what I've read this evening online just about the facts they have steeper 1st and 2nd gear for better acceleration but a 1:1 3rd like a 904 or 727 for good highway cruising. Seems like the ideal solution for fun street car application if you want to keep mild rear end gearing? Do they...

    73 to 70 hood/grille conversion?

    What do I have to do to a 73 Dart to get the hood and grille from a 70 Dart to fit on? I'm willing to ditch hinges and just do four pins to hold it in place if that makes things easier. Radiator support the same? will the bumper fit around the '73 quarter panels etc? TIA David

    What to do to get a quicker launch...

    I've got the 318 as descirbed in my sig. now in the Dart. It's quick, once it's rolling. The launch is kind of misserable and it wont chirp 1st to 2nd :( Transmission is stock, I've got my old busted 904 which I'd like to build up. Like everybody, on a budget. Budget budget budget. I've got a...

    I'm running too much width?

    I just got the fresh 318 in the Dart. I'm running 295/50's in the rear, I can burn em' up no problem but I do have to use the brake trick (only when it's dry) Otherwise I get a ton of grip, I suppose I just need to change my gearing or get the trans up to scruff... thoughts are welcome, I...

    Just watched the '05 Dukes of Hazzard movie...

    not a great piece of cinematic theatre, no real amazing driving scenes... Jessica Simpson in a bikini's the best scene! I'm sure at the time there must have been discussions about it, thing that sticks with me most is all those poor Chargers!! How many did they demolish! Shame.

    Front end feels really sloppy

    I just pulled all my steering components, replace the manual box with power and put in a much faster engine. My front end feels sloppy, not so much that the steering is unresponsive but it just doesn't feel tight. It's not the power steering. Also whenever I brake there's a clunk sound from...

    Streetmaster 318 vs. Performer for street use

    Hi I´ve got a 318 with: Edelbrock Perfromer Plus cam and a Holley 4160 600 CFM carb. Hooker headers. At the moment it has a Streetmaster 318 on it which looks very new even though I know these haven't been produced for a while. Perhaps it was old stock. It's a single plane so I wonder... My...

    fresh 318 w/ eddy cam, intake, headers etc. passenger side leak at the rear, possibly valve cover. thought it was oil filter at first but that's on tight. Leaks down onto oil filter in any case and then onto header, stinky mess. At first it was only at the rear passenger side. Any tips on...

    My '73 Dodge Dart

    As I bought her about 9 months ago: The exhaust, still this way now, Hooker headers, crappy Raptor mufflers, I intend to replace these, with what I don't know yet, and then have tailpipes either come out just behind the doors in front of the rear tyres or straight out the back under the...

    Cam a cam wear out?

    Lookin' at a car, owner says his mechanic say the Cam is worn out because her ran with too little oil. Claims there is no other damage. Haven't actually been to see it yet so don't know how it runs. Owner says it runs fine but when you floor it, it chokes. Is this at all plausible? I must...

    D$mn steering column removal...

    am swaping out manual for power steering. Can't even get the origional column out :( GRRR! At the end of the steering shaft where it slides over the shaft of the steering box it won't budge. Where I assume a pin should be is a tubular something stuck in as a 'retainer' but it has become...

    Shift points at WOT..

    On my 904: Adjusted the kick down to full line pressure at WOT. It seems to shift a little early thru the gears when driving casually and kickdown response isn't neckbrackingly snappy and only at about 3/4 throttle. At WOT it will shift from 1st to 2nd at around 3950 RPM and shift into 3rd...

    73 Dart with discs up front, as the improvements continue and the summer arrives I'd like to burn up some of the extra rubber in my shed. Also, I might just head down to the track for the first time in my life this year. Is there a readily available Line Lock kit for my car? I'd like the...

    318 tired, compression test proves it...

    Started trying to track down the reasons my 318 runs inconsistent below 1500rpm, the skips, misses. At a stoplight it feels like it's gonna choke one second and tries to lunge forward the next... After using a vacuum gauge to set the carb up today I did a compression test. Results not so...

    Engine Identification puzzle

    Was under the Dart today and was able to get the casting number off the block, drivers side. From up top the headers are in the way. Casting number: 4104-230-318-8 I googled a couple of websites, NONE of which listed my casting number, all but one...

    73 Dart with front discs fromt the factory, no brake mods: I've noticed that after every drive in the Dart brake fluid is seeping/leaking out of the side of the master cylinder reservoir, all along...predominantly on the passenger side as if the fluid is coming back up with too much pressure...

    replacing valve seals on a 318 procedure?

    replacing valve seals on a 318 does this involve taking the heads of? I've never done it before, as it seems straightforward I'm just curious if by using the piston to push the valve against when removing and replacing the valve spring I might bend the valve stem or damage the valve itself or...

    Result! Sort of...

    I just replaced my 904 in my 73 Dart, it's coupled to a stock 2bbl 318. Set the kickdown linkage up the factory way. WOT=linkage at full pressure with aprox 1 turn of play between the two. When I first replaced the transmission the 1-2 shift was so quick and so subtle I thought it was starting...
