    TTI headers

    I just got done installing the 2.5" H-pipe setup on my dart to TTI headers. Very nice quality and only minor cutting needed. Yes it was a bit expensive, $540 plus shipping with using my own mufflers, but I feel it was worth it.

    340 heartache

    X2 This sounds EXACTLY how the 360 in my car was running the first week I got it running. It ran good for break in, but trying to drive it it would only run if I two-footed it. It was a dog. Fuel pressure, oil pressure, timing from with a timing light were all right on, and I was using a carb...

    bypassing heater hoses

    The whole heater box has been removed. I cut a piece of aluminum sheet metal to fit neatly on the firewall and painted it. My MSD ignition is mounted under the dash where the heater box was. It is attached to the firewall to the sheet metal I put on. If you are leaving the heater box in place...

    bypassing heater hoses

    Here are the pics of my water pump. Orange one is currently on the car and the bare alum water pump shows the threads from an old pump I had laying around. It is a 1/4" pipe thread plug, and I think I was able to just tap the existing hole without drilling bigger, but not positive on that. Just...

    bypassing heater hoses

    That's what I did. But as stated-be careful when tapping the water pump nipple as it is very thin and will split easily. I tapped just a little at a time and kept testing the plug until it was where I wanted it.

    stupid idler arm

    I just put a new moog idler arm on my dart. Did you put the washers on the top and bottom of the idler arm, or just put the arm in and tighten the bolt up? The washers have an I.D. just big enough so they fit over the sleeve, effectively making the idler arm so it fits tight in the mounting...

    Help me pick a carb!`

    I know you said you didn't want to hear about carbs not listed in your original post, but I agree with mopardrt- I also have a Holley 670 street avenger and love it. I bought mine on ebay. It's a factory refurbished unit direct from Holley(seller id: holleyperformance). And the best part is it...

    Unlimited fibreglass hoods ?

    Had two friends that had unlimited hoods-both were very bad. One was bowed so bad that the hood never sat flat, it was up 1/2" in the middle. The other friend's hood was 5/8" too short front to back on ONE side. Unlimited ended up replacing it, but it was bowed real bad too. In Unlimited's...

    How much is a running 360 engine worth ?

    When I was looking for one about 3 years ago they all seemed to be in the $250-600 range around south east WI. After watching craigslist for a couple weeks I ended up buying a complete low mileage 360 with transmission from a running '77 charger for $450. Then I sold the trans and all the...

    (Not a A-Body) 2001 Dodge Ram Truck "No bus" Code, Anyone!?

    I had a 2000 Ram that out of nowhere developed an intermittent "no bus" on the gauge cluster when I hit bumps. The truck would stutter or die when it happened. I found it to be a group of ground wires bolted to the front of the drivers side cylinder head that the bolt had come loose and the...

    Dart Painted bumpers

    Like others have said, go with an aluminum color rather than body color. I think if you painted them body color it would look too much like something from the 80's. I have fiberglass bumpers and had a friend that worked at a Subaru dealer spray them with some leftover silver from one of the...

    Throttle pedal/cable woes

    When I needed more throttle pull I used a tubing cutter and tin snips to carefully shorten the shielding on the end of the cable on the carb end so it wouldn't bottom out against the bracket or the shielding that is mounted in the bracket. I also have that same bracket and when I had my M1 I...

    Thermostat housing seeping...

    Me too. I use to get seeping whenever I used a gasket, no matter how clean the surface or what color RTV I used. Got rid of the gasket and used a small bead of RTV and have not had a drop since.

    Addco front swabar

    Those are what I used. They worked good, but I still had to modify them slightly to get a better angle at the end links to work with my factory swaybar mounting tabs on the control arms.

    Addco front swabar

    Great pics! I just mounted my Addco bar 2 months ago and their mounting method sucks! They are almost as bad as the directions they supply. I ended up buying the Energy Suspension mounts. They worked good but I would have rather made them myself using your dimensions and saved $50.

    Intake manifold oil leak

    When I had oil there it was from the valve covers not sealing. Your valve covers may be hitting the intake manifold runners. If they are you need to grind the gasket lip on them a bit so the valve covers can sit down tight on the heads and/or get a thicker valve cover gasket.

    Bogged down While In Gear And Sputtered During Acceleration

    Hate to say it, but this sounds like it is running just like my car was when I installed the timing chain a tooth off. When I fired the motor up for the first time it started great, ran at 2000rpm for 20-30 min, started up again after letting it cool, but would bog and die as soon as I put it...

    to paint or not to paint '68 Dart

    I think it looks awesome as-is. Give her a coat of flat or satin clear and call it done.

    very nice car but come on meow

    Nice looking car- but whats with the fuel pump on the firewall and why are the fuel lines running into the car? Crazy plumbing fittings on the fuel cell too.

    Wheels and bumpers opinion wanted

    The wheels look awesome, but I think that color looks kind of blue and I don't know if that would look good for bumpers. I had my fiberglass bumpers painted with a metallic silver and although I know some will disagree, I think they look better than the chrome bumpers did.

    2357 tail lite bulbs or 1157?

    Dan, you're the man! I've been driving this car for 13 years with fast turn signals because I thought it was because there are no wires running to the sidemarker lights(I still don't know if there is supposed to be or if they are just reflectors, never looked) All it took was a 30 sec flasher...

    2357 tail lite bulbs or 1157?

    Sorry, don't want to hijack the thread but I am just curious- I have 1157's in my dart and the signals flash fast as hell, if I am reading Dan's qoute properly that abodyjoe posted on the first page, can this just be corrected with a new flasher? Any particular one? Thanks! Ben

    What BRAND gears are my fellow Mopar guys liking?

    No problem! I read the stories about noise too but, knock on wood, mine have been quiet for the 1000 miles I've had them in. And I talked to one guy that has over 100 empty Motive boxes from all the sets he's installed through his shop in the last few years and he said he's never had 1 issue. My...

    What BRAND gears are my fellow Mopar guys liking?

    I have used 3 different sets of Richmond Gears (which I heard were recently bought out by Motive Gear) and were always happy with them. Currently I have a set of Motive gear 3.73's and have no complaints. They look to be the same as Richmonds but in a different box-I was even able to use the...

    Chevron Refinery Fire

    Glad theres no serious injuries, but I hope it doesn't raise gas prices here in WI anymore. In the last 2 weeks the price has gone up from $3.25 to $3.95 a gallon!

    Disc Brake Master Cylinders?

    The one on the right looks like the same one I had on my drum/drum '69 dart before I upgraded to front discs.

    some sob slashed my tires!

    I had a tire that looked JUST like that BFG on a truck I had. I rubbed the curb as I was parking and the busted up curb and corner of a sewer in the curb caught it. I knew I hit it, but didn't think anything of it. When I went out an hour later the tire was flat. You sure there was nothing in...

    727 Recommended Type ATF?

    I was told by two different trans builders to use type F. One guy is mainly a GM guy, but built my 727, the other guy only does Mopars. So I've only used type F for the last 12 years in my car.

    Small block falls on its face.

    What kind of fuel pump? Have you checked fuel pressure?
