    Will new XHD springs relax a bit?

    I installed XHD springs from Mancini in my 70 Dart and am disappointed that the car sits too high for my liking now. It is 1/2" higher on the right too. Will they relax a bit as I drive it? I don't want to buy new springs if I don't need to. So far only about 3 miles have been put on them...

    Upgrading to 3/8 fuel line

    Doing a restomod on a 70 dart, s6 to 360. Considering a 3/8 fuel line with no vapor return line. Also wondering if the stock tank, with its factory 4 hose vapor vent system, would work okay with an unvented factory style painted gas cap. I think it should be okay. Any advice out there?

    360 Intake manifold bolt misfit

    My 360 was recently rebuilt by a local experienced and respected builder. It has not been installed into the '70 Dart yet. The intake manifold bolts I provided him are 1 1/8" long, not knowing if that is what I needed or not. The intake is a Performer RPM with Edelbrock heads and gaskets. I...

    What filler to use on 70 Dart headlight extension?

    I will be painting my 70 Dart. I removed the body rub strip that starts at the front and goes down the middle to the rear and it will not be replaced.

    70 Dart s6 to 360 project

    In converting from points ignition to the electronic with added MSD, should I change my old wire loom to a factory reproduction one for electronic ignition? This would require the right resistor and control box, unless the MSD replaces all that (I have never had one before). Also, some...

    Camshaft identification help

    I pulled the cam out of a 360 I bought from a friend. He thought it was one of the purple shaft grinds but couldn't remember which one. It has some yellow paint on it at the front end and then some purple paint behind that but only for the first four lobes. The number 987550 is stamped on the...

    Will a truck 727 work for my Dart

    I am building a 70 Dart with a 360 and auto trans. I have an opportunity to buy a used 727 from a 1981 ramcharger or b200 van (seller isn't sure) that was mated to a 318 4 barrel engine. I will be rebuilding the transmission. Will it line up with the trans mounts? Thanks for the help.

    Has anyone installed the new gauge panel fo A-body from Mancini Racing? They look like Auto Meter gauges. I am interested in one but haven't seen it installed and don't know how difficult it would be to put in or how much (if any) cutting would have to be done. Also, if the speedo is...

    Instrument Panel Voltage Regulator

    I bought the IV4 solid state instrument panel voltage regulator and installed it today in my 70 Dart non-rallye dash. It was a bit of a challenge to do it without taking out the dash, but I was able to do so by removing the plastic steering column trim and cramming my hand up inside the dash...

    My 70 Dart had a rim blow wheel, it is non functional. The former owner installed a horn button on the dash to pass safety check. I want to replace the wheel with a standard horn button type, maybe an aftermarket one. Can it be done without too much drama?

    Panel lights flicker, gauges go to max

    Newbie here, thanks for all the advice in advance. 1970 Swinger headlight switch works great except when the rheostat is turned CCW so I can see the panel in the dark. That is when the fuel gauge and temp gauge go to their extreme max positions. When I rotate the switch CW to turn the panel...
