From one daily driven 4-door to another...congratulations! By far my Dart has been the best car I've ever owned. My '68 gets about 8000 miles a year (with points still), and so far has been to about 15 states.

Plenty on my blog: 365 Days Of Dart

Hey guys, thanks for all the replies. Life has been crazy so I didn't check back on this til just now. Yes, it is an exhaust leak...I didn't have the clamp tight enough on the pipe going into the muffler.

Thanks for the replies everybody! I'm pretty sure it's not Ujoint or diff-related since the sound is coming from the front half of the vehicle. More observations: -comes from front half of vehicle -is not exhaust-related (except possibly where it bolts to the manifold, haven't checked) -the...

Experiencing an odd effect here. My car is running fine, but when I accelerate out of corners, there's a metallic clicking noise that is very loud. It only clicks while I have my foot on the gas; when I let off it goes away and doesn't come back. It sounds like something may be making contact...

I can't speak for a 170, but I've done 105 on level ground in my 225/904/2.76 Dart. It's stock aside from a 390 Holley. Top speed with a passenger was 98, also on level ground. Given that, plus the 170's lower power but willingness to rev, I'd say 90 is feasible.

My Dart was running fine after the carb rebuild...for a couple weeks at least. Now it won't start! Last drove I noticed a severe miss had started, but only at highway speeds and higher in the rev range. Got it home and now it wont start at all. Points look ok, and I can hear/occasionally see a...

Well, I'll be danged, here's an actual company that used slants in their sprayers: Hagie Manufacturing Company Model 440 Model 640

Yet another weird /6 application: home-built sprayer! LotNut

Just stumbled across this iad: KALAMAZOO K TRUCK HAULSTER YARD CART FLATBED 1984 CHRYSLER SLANT 6 MATERIAL - RAILIRON--USED RAILROAD EQUIPMENT FOR SALE OR LEASE According to the research I did, these things were actually more common overseas, but were often used stateside in the rail and...

I've gotten as high as21. That's with a4-barrel, breaker points, and a heavy foot.

Not an A-body, but cool nonetheless. Guy repowers an Allis Chalmers tractor with a /6. Allis WD repower Dodge - Machine Builders Network EDIT, crap wrong story. I should have read back through that forum to see it was a 318. HERE's an AC with a /6: WD 46

Taken yesterday at work: 1968 Dodge Dart Overlooking a Field by aholter, on Flickr

Form somewhere in North Dakota, on a road trip a few years back.

Hoping y'all could help me out here. The car runs fine at idle, around town, etc. but randomly will start missing once warmed up good on the highway. My first guess is ignition related since this just started after my wife took it through a car wash. I'm assuming something got wet, but haven't...

My slant is bone stock but the PO did put on a Holley 390 4bbl. It took me a lot of tweaking over the past few year to get it to idle smoothly, but I finally got it all but perfect. 800 or so in park, 650-700 in drive. Part throttle acceleration was a big issue for a while until I got the float...

It's been a while since I've posted here! Just took this over the weekend at my other job:

Stumbled across this looking for pics of racing Slantys. Anybody got any info on it? Wicked cool looking little car.:)

Ok...carb tuning day!;) primary jet size is 51, so stock. Float was a little high, but not terrible. The accelerator pump is a 25...is that too small? Ive got the carb apart abd am not finding any dirt or anything if that sort.

Woops, that's what I get for starting this topic without checking the car first!;) Here are the car vitals: Vacuum:19-20 Base timing:12 deg advanced Idle rpm:around 800, drops when in gear to about 600 Valve lash:12/22 Points gap:.018 Yes, this is a stock motor aside from the carb. The dist...

So a few months ago I had problems with my '68 missing and all kinds of nonsense..turned out that issue was a faulty ignition coil and wonky ballast resistor. Got that figured out, but there has been an ongoing issue with idle quality pertaining to fuel mix. I'm running idle at about 850 rpm...

Great looking sweptline! The patina is just right, but yeah, the tires have to go. Tell me, how does a solid front axle truck like that ride? Is it bone-jarring on the road, or not too bad? I'm strongly covsideribg adding a D100 to the herd, but the front suspension I'm concerned won't be all...

These aren't mine, just found them today while looking for a used motor for my tractor. Both came off John Deere hay making equipment. https://www.tractorpartsasap.com/mobile/Category.aspx?id=37997 Non-mobile: https://www.tractorpartsasap.com/Used-Chrysler-Engines-s/37997.htm

Haha no shotguns in my version.;) normally it's chicken feed I have to haul, but today it was birds!

Ok, we are sorta in business now! The coil definitely was the culprit. Replaced it with a 1.5 ohm flamethrower, added the msd ballast, and it runs/idles without any sort of miss. I haven't had a chance to run it hard for a long distance yet (other than hauling some chickens this morning.;)), but...

Dang...back to the drawing board. Last night the car ar saw some mixed highway and city. it was fine at speed, but idle roug and started to miss at stops. not nearly as bad as it was, but still not good. i guess since ive gor this new resistor, im goingto put it on and see about getting a 1.5...

Follow up: bought the msd real last but haven't installed it yet. I think I need a new cool. The current flamethrower is 45011, and warm, its testing at only 2.8 ohm. Voltage readings are around 10.1, which I think is too high for points. Am I right about that?

WOW! What a difference that made...totally fixed the spark issue! Thank you. :) Cold, the coil is testing at 9.6v...a lot different than the 6.2 it had when the ballast was in place. Cold startup is much easier now, too. Once warm, the spoil is staying at the same voltage, so there's no more...

Ok, thanks! So, next question: what should the ohm reading be on the coil? I replaced the original with a flamethrower several year ago, reads 3.0 ohms. Too much? Not enough?

Thanks for the responses, guys.
