Any slant racer's plan on going to Moparty this year?

I want to convert my 66 /6 Dart over to power steering. I’m looking for power steering pump, brackets and a gear box. If I need a different pitman arm as it to the list as well. PayPal is my preferred payment method. Let me know is you have anything. Thanks!

Greetings, I am toying around with the idea of pulling the head off my engine to fix some broken intake studs and while it's down ill probably put a timing chain in, go ahead and drop the electronic ignition and hei setup in, and give the engine a good once over to make sure it stays...

Anyone running Linux on any of their machines? I just installed Linux Mint on an old laptop. Its an old Acer Aspire 5516 that I upgraded the RAM and CPU in. It was running Windows 7 Ultimate pretty well, but I had a desire to learn something new, so I installed earlier tonight. After...

I am considering buying an 87 Ramcharger with no front axles to part out and scrap. I am going to tuck the v8 away for a possible donor in the future. Anyone think they would have a need for some parts from a good straight Ramcharger? I havent bought it yet but an seriously considering it.

So is the Hurricane intake worth the price of admission? I'm looking at the 2bbl version, and it looks like it accepts the Holley 2300 series carb. I bought one of the 350cfm's from Summit last year and I figure this would be a nice addition along with a pair of Dutra Manifolds.

Greetings, I took the Dart for a spin today to challenge the speedometer with the GPS. As I was driving down the road at 58-63mph, my engine RPM stayed in the neighborhood of 2300-2500. Is that on par with your guy's experience? I have an automatic and unknown rear gear.

I have a '66 Dart GT. Presumably, this is the original 225 /6 engine. About 25 years ago, my grandfather had the engine "rebuilt" by some sleezeball shadetree mechanic who did not do a very good job. My (great) Uncle says the engine rattled like hell, leaked oil, smoked, and didn't have enough...

Is there an easy answer to this question I have always overlooked somehow? I went from the factory 13" (original tire size unknown) wheels to a 15x7 wheel with a 225/60. The car is a 225/auto 66' Dart. I know a speedometer gear is the fix, but how do I go about locating the correct...

Greetings. I started my '66 the other day to shake the cob webs out, and give it a bath which it sorely needed. I drove it around to get the fluid temps up to normal operating temp and I was reminded of an annoying speedometer noise this car has of which I am not sure how to fix. Last...

As the title says, I am looking for a 4bbl intake for a small block for my brothers newly acquired 88 dodge D150. We are removing the original throttle body and intake due to the previous owners butchering the wiring harness during an engine swap. We have a 1406 to put on it. That means I will...

Hello all, One of my neighbors has offered to sell me an 88 1/2 ton truck with a 318 tbi/auto trans for a mere $400. I'm going to go get it this week. From a looks perspective, it's a lot nicer than the price suggests. All the paint is there and the interior isn't ratted out. That's the...

I realize that this is probably not the best place to put this but i figured i would give it a try as I know that most of you have dodge trucks. What I have is the Bushwacker 59001 and a 59005. They are brand new in the box and still in the plastic. Amazon has the 59001 priced at $92.29 and the...

Hi guys , I have a bbd for sale that I just took off of my slant six to replace with a holley 2300. It runs and drives perfectly, but the problem I was having with it was it loses its prime after 8 hours of being turned off. Spray a shot of brakeleen in it, and it picks right up and runs...

Hello, I recently installed a 120a alternator on my '66 /6. I had to trim my mounting bracket a bit to get the new alternator to slide on. Well I didnt have the right tools and it looks terrible. The bracket is pretty thin so I dont want to push my luck trying to clean it up. I need a new...

did the slant six use the same alternator bracket throughout its run? Im referring to the bottom pivot mount that the ignition coil also mounts to. Im aware of the drivers side mount, but i am looking for the pass. side only I recently wired in a 120a alternator on my '66 Dart (thread floating...

Hey guys, Recently I have taken on my 66 Dart /6 head on with the wiring changes that these cars require after many years in service. This included; Ammeter bypass - I used the MAD method, which wires the ammeter wires (and the welded splice) in parallel, making the starter solenoid the...

Hey, After my car sits for more than 8 hours, i have been having to spray brakekleen in the carb to get it to start. If I work an 8 hour day, it generally starts up when i get off. Sometimes it needs to be primed. When i work a 12 hour day, it wont start. Once running, it runs perfect...

As the title says. I had a fellow member hit me up and said he has one, but i havent heard from him in approximately one week now. I mine broke while i was trying to get it unplugged while removing the cluster a couple weeks ago to do some wiring mods. Please lmk

Hello, I have been driving my '66 Dart quite a bit over the last 10 days or so after doing a lot of work to it. I've posted my progress (and story) over in the early A section. I have had a few issues pop up and need a hand with them. The battery, over the course of the last...

i have seen a few people in the past who have pulled a random pull a part booster from a 90 something sebring (for arguments sake) and using it on the early a. My question is; If i do this, what early a parts am i going to need for the install? Inside brackets? Pushrod? Is there a...

Hi, I think I got the wrong, or incomplete setup for my slant's 2 barrel setup. I'd like to find everything i need to get up and running. The car is a 66 Dart. Please lmk pricing as well. Thanks

Is it safe to rule out a bad cluster voltage regulator if the temperature gauge is working? Im pretty sure I can call it a bad sending unit, just felt i would double check.

Sooooo annoying, how does a D just fall off?????:banghead: This is a 1966, and I am unsure of which years would interchange

Hi guys, I recently bought a set of wheels and tires for my '66 Dart. I went from 13" to 15". 225/60's on the rear are scrubbing ever so slightly, as the rear end seems to sag a bit. The wheel lip sits right around the top part of the wheel. I see a few different options, and was wondering...

I recently swapped lug studs on my '66 to get away from the LH lugs. In the process of removing the original studs from my hub i managed to warp the brake drum. Went to rock auto and they dont list it anymore. I just need a workable brake drum, preferably one that already has RH threads, or...

Does anyone happen to know off the top of their head if a rochester carburetor from a 70's chevy has the same mounting pattern as the slant 6 2bbl?? I bought a 2bbl intake recently from Waggs, and it came with a carb that was good on last use. Well speaking to a guy I work with the other...

Well, my dart has been sitting for quite some time, 12-13 years in fact since my grandfather died and gave it to me. It's been a combination of lack of interest and work that was the biggest reasons. Just recently, thanks in no small part to this forum, and the info that is here, i decided to...

Anyone happen to be running the 15" coy's wheels on their early A? I just ordered a set of the gunmetal gray C5's for my 66 dart and was trying to get an idea of what its gonna look like. Was really torn between the Cragers and coy's.

Hi, About to order a set of wheels, and was wondering what kind of backspacing i should be looking to get. Wheels will be Crager S/S. 15x7 is about the widest a fully stock dart gt can handle, right? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRR-61754/ is what im looking at. I think it will be...
