    1981 225 slant 6 with 904

    I ahd computer issues and my current ID is registered to my work email, so I had to reregister to a new username! Yes I still have it and yes it will work with your manual trans (the crank hub diameter change happened around 1968 or so, which means a 1981 engine will work in a 1981 vehicle...

    What fuel cell fits nicely in the spare tire well 70 Dart?

    I mounted a Summit 8 gallon fuel cell in the spare tire well of my 73 dart sport. I fabricated a frame to mount the fuel cell to the floor of the spare tire well out of 1X1 steel angle. Only had to drill four small holes in bottom for 1/4" bolts (mount frame) and a 5/8" hole (fuel line). Bob

    Type of paint?

    I used shopline 2K urethane primer on my dart sport when I painted it a few years ago. The primer worked fine and was quite affordable. I did not use shopline or PPG color on the car because the vendor who sold me the shopline primer would not provide me a data sheet on the shopline paints...

    Wanted: Plymouth Duster parts(Aftermarket)

    if you have a SBP rear you can buy new reproduction mopar rallye wheels in sizes up to 15 X 8 to fit it. I got mine from summit for about $100 each shipped to me in MD. I found this to be the most cost effective way to mount slicks on back of my Dart Sport with a SBP 8 3/4" rear (which came...

    67 cuda FB windsheild

    These are still produced by aftermarket auto glass manufacturers . I bought an aftermarket WS and had it installed with a new reproduction WS gasket (from Year one) in my 1973 dart sport. At the time I inquired about being able to get a WS for my 1967 barracuda convertible , they checked and...

    How to replace Walamrt

    I also watched the 2005 documentary "WALMART: The High Cost of Low Price", and it made me feel guilty about the money I spent at WALMART in the past. I refuse to even set foot in the door. I also tend to agree that other "big-box" stores also are a problem and the retail environment is...

    Spy satellite

    I have worked in the Spacecraft field for almost 20 years (16 of it for the NAVY) , designing, testing and building spacecraft. I do not consider a scud missle traveling at a several times the speed of sound as "slow". They are slow compared to more modern missles, but still going along...

    1973 Dart Sport hood scoop pictures

    I finally finished installing the new engine in my dart sport, so we installed the hood today. I remembered an earlier post where there were some questions about the location of the factory installed "twin scoop" on a dart sport hood and the dimensions of the underhood features, so I took a few...

    Ebay strike !

    I have been too busy for any E-bay selling lately, so I will definately not list any thing before or during that week. I am pretty ticked off about the feedback thing, I have had to leave negative FB on a few @#$holes over the last 10 years (joined ebay in January 1998) and really do not...

    70-76 Demon,Dart sport,Duster Pictorial History

    a 72 dart hood will fit a 71-72 demon and a 70 -72 dart. 73 duster can use a hood from a 73-76 duster or vailiant as far as 1973 dusters are concerned: I am not sure if they came with a Hood Scoop (sport hood) option like the dart sports. I know the IHRA allows it in Crate motor stock and...

    Spark Plugs

    I cannot understand why the newer books list RN12YC plugs for a 340, an engine with that much compression should use a cooler plug RN9YC. RN12YC's are for an engine with lower compression 9:1 like a 318/2bbl. I had the same issue with Champion Platnium Plus plugs I bought for my engine, the...
