    [FOR SALE] 69 dart - california car for sale

    1969 Dodge Dart 2-door For Sale I'm breaking my own heart by putting this up for sale as I had so many plans for this car and it was my daily driver for 3 years until a few months ago. Still runs like a champ and I still drive it every week or so but, sadly, my family needs the money. It has...

    Alt. guage discharging all the time???

    I had the same issue on my '69 dart. It all came down to a frayed wire on the engine side of the bulkhead connector. I just resoldered the wire to the connector, plugged it back in and voila! Fully running and charging system again. Good luck.

    $40 for a can of Freon? I think /not/.

    The directions make it sound a lot harder than it is. You can convert it and fill it yourself in about 20 minutes. In California the price of R134a freon has doubled over the past year so instead of $8 a can its $19 a can + $10 core.

    Key set

    The keys were changed on the dart already and on the house. The locksmith was going to come today to re-key the Honda. (a new tumbler was going to be $200.00) I've resorted to taking the coil wire out of the Dart and am now looking to move. Sigh.

    Key set

    Well... The thief from the robbery stole my car (the Honda) from my house last night. It was used in another robbery, in a pursuit with police and the crashed into a pole. The car is totaled and the yard wants $500. My employers refuse to even entertain the thought of helping to cover the costs...

    Key set

    Thank you for the condolences. I'll hopefully have the Dart back on the road by this weekend. The Dart is my daily driver as my Honda sits on the driveway and gathers dust.

    Key set

    In the set I had the ignition and doors were two separate keys. Then the trunk and the gas. I realize there's no way of getting around the gas cap. (shouldn't have mentioned the gas cap in the first place.) I was just wondering if I could get a set with the other 3 locks using the same key.

    Key set

    I just got robbed at the parts store that I work at and the thief took ALL of my keys including the ones to my '69 dart. Before I call the locksmith and have new keys made for all 4 keys the car needs (door, ignition, trunk and gas), is there a set that I can buy to replace them all with one or...

    Whats the oldest daily driver you drive.

    I just turned 35 two weeks ago and I drive my '69 dart all day every day. I also have a Honda that sits in the drive way until I have no other choice.

    is this 69 dart a decent price?

    Check all the headlights, blinkers, etc. work. Wiring these things are not fun.

    is this 69 dart a decent price?

    That is a really good price! Grab it! Got mine for about the same value. Traded an old Honda for it. Go for it!

    Bad Alternator?

    I actually work in the auto parts retail business and I, too recommend going to a dedicated alternator guy. The alternator was probably seizing thereby draining the battery. After 6 years I would replace the battery just for being so old. 3-5 years average on a traditional battery.

    select your favorite "famous" charger

    Loved the '68 Charger from the Blade movies also the '70 Charger from Fast 5. There's something about that body in a flat or satin black that just says "I'm going to f*** you up!"

    Regulator gone bad?

    As I was going through the wiring on my Dart, I found that the alternator wire going into the bulkhead connector was barely holding together. The wire was shredded and falling out of the male connector end. After stripping the wire, cleaning the contacts and soldering the wire and connector...

    GM 1 wire alternator

    If you want an easy warranty the next time around, Autozone and other retail parts houses keep 1-wires on the shelf with lifetime warranties. When it goes bad just take it in and they give you another one.

    GM 1 wire alternator

    Autozone offers one with no vehicle application. You just have to somehow know what you want. The part # is DL7140m. The box even says "GM 1-wire" on it. Just in case.

    Regulator gone bad?

    I've been having the same issues with my 69 dart /6 with a GM 7140 one wire alternator for the last few weeks. I keep coming up with the same exact readings. Now I have more precise spots to check thanks to you. I'll keep watching and post if I find an answer.

    Charging issue!

    I've got it! When I replaced the old alternator, I did it with a gm 7127 alternator. However, what I needed was a gm 7140 alternator. They look exactly the same but the 7140 is a correct one wire alternator that cometely bypasses both an external and internal voltage regulators. Once I put the...

    Charging issue!

    For some reason my computer doesn't want to let me post pics in my reply. But I've replaced the alternator and nothings changed. I've found no voltage regulator. The wire makes 2 stops from the alternator to the bulkhead connector. Then to the starter relay. Still not charging and I'm this close...
