What is up with all the major manufacturers marketing up to 65 and then 67 and up for Valiant floor pans? Is there something special about 66? If not, I'm guessing I'd lean toward the 65 and older floor pans to fit into the 66. Can any confirm that either 66 pans are different than the others...

Quick question - I've been in the C Body game for quite a while but am looking at a 65 Valiant that needs entire dirveline. I have a low miles 68 Dart that I was hoping I could pull the 225/904 and 7 1/4 and direct swap. Will 68 Dodge drivelines swap/bolt in to a 65 Plymouth? Dimensions same...

Noticed that my driver side tail light was illuminated with the ignition off. Car was going to be sitting so I pulled bulb and left it. Came back several days later and battery was dead and passenger side reverse and brake bulbs were both blown. I've replaced all bulbs and the fuse and...

Removed what I assume is the original master cylinder following an attempt to bleed the brakes. Was getting good pressure in the rear brakes and moving fluid through the lines. Fronts were barely dripping and then peddle went to mush and I can’t get anything built up. Pulled master cylinder...

I was looking at several pictures of A/C upgrades in A Bodies to Sanden compressors among others, and noticed the water valve was missing and the lines went straight to the expansion valve and evaporator. I may just be mistaken because looking at my service manual, 68 Darts had the water valve...

My main concern after attempting for the first time is: Can holes in body be lead-filled without removing all of the panels and laying them flat? I don’t own a welder and found lead to be the most economical alternative, but after countersinking the holes and tinning them, my lead all runs...

I need some advice. I’ve recently gotten a nice set of GTS door panel emblems and need to swap them out with my current set. I searched the web and this interior forum to see if anyone had done this successfully and didn’t find much. My main concern is avoiding damaging my door panels. The...

Does anyone know if a 1” over stock leaf spring set will provide enough clearance up and down for G70 15 Rubber? I’m about to place the order for these but didn’t know if anyone else had gone over 1” above factory, any advice with this? It’s for a 68 Dart 8 3/4. Thanks

I’ve been looking high and low to find out why my instrument flashers aren’t lighting. Both don’t light even though I hear the clicking and all exterior blinkers work fine. No electrical issues with this car, nothing altered from stock wiring. Where is the power source or a ground I need to...

I have everything from a 68 Dart 225 A/C setup and noticed that the compressor I removed from my 70 Fury was bigger and had different lb. ratings on it. Made me wonder what else would not interchange when I put the 383 in. I plan on keeping the factory AC (heavier and all, i know, but I like...

What are they door panel emblems made? I’ve seen some for sale I’m interested in but they are pitted and looks life the coating is peeling of in several spots. Almost like when I’ve seen chrome rust and peel. It even looks like the edges of some of the script has corroded off, around the tips...

I am and have been looking for either a set or a single door panel emblem for a 68 Dart GTS, pins or not. Not looking for anything badly damaged or pitted, but would consider almost anything at this point. I seen I just missed a set by a month on here and was hoping someone else had an extra...

Does anyone know a talented individual out there that is doing restorations to GTS parts? I’ve got a tail panel and a set of the faux hood vents from a 68 that I need done and wanted to see if anyone could handle both or are currently restoring these parts. Thanks to all for pointing me in the...

Has anyone else been waiting for the day that someone begins offering reproduction 68 GTS door panel emblems? These suckers are hard to find and expensive. I’ve been looking for 3 years and only come up with 1 which I got a steal on, but with everything reproduced in the aftermarket, this one...

I’m needing to know if I need a set of fasteners to secure my manifolds to my 383. It’s a 68 block and I was recently looking at what the add calls 383 manifold fasteners for A-body specifically. My manifolds are B-Body going into a 68 Dart. Did A-Body BB manifolds need these sleeves[/COLOR]...

I have been finding what looks like a watered down puddle of oil on my passenger side floor mat and can’t see where it is coming from. Looks to be from the underside of the heater box but I can’t make sense of that so I was wondering if the lines for the oil light run in this area and over to...

Two questions: First, does anything from the Slant 6 A/C setup (brackets, pulleys, bolts) transfer to a Big Block? I assume the compressor, dryer is the same on all models. Second, on Big Block cars, did Body class change anything about the A/C brackets or setup. I am looking at some A/C...

I'm looking for someone who either makes a living from or refurbishes tail panels, trim, etc as a side job. I tried recently to strip and repaint my 68 Dart tail panel by taping it off, using oven cleaner on the reflective paint surfaces, and covering with plastic wrap in the sun. Worked great...

I was needing to know if the horn switch will interchange from the stock 68 Dart steering wheel to the 68 Woodgrain wheel? I have the horn pad and woodgrain wheel but wanted to know if I am going to be able to pull the old wheel and use the same horn switch. I do know the horn pad adapter...

I'm piecing together my front suspension for a total swap out of the 68 6K, 9" drum setup. I have a 70 V8 K and the pre-73 LCA's with the sway bar mounts low. I am adding front discs from a 73 A body with the slider calipers. Pretty sure they are 11.75 rotors. 15" rims to fit also. My...

I'm sitting here looking at the build codes for the Dart and in the Front Brake box, it is marked 11. This is a 225 car with a 7 1/4 so I want to say it's 9", as I cannot se any additional boxes checked for brake upgrades. 13" rims. Wanting to upgrade to 10" all around and don't have car near...

I just repainted some A Pillar trim in my 68 Dart and when trying to reinstall, had no luck getting in place under the trim piece above the windows. Taking old ones out was easy because they were already broken but getting these new ones in is something I've never done and need some help with...

I have sourced several items for my 68 Dart build from a C-Body and would like to ask the local guys their recommendations for shops or individuals near by that do some nice work fabricating and restoring. These are my needs: Recore a 22" factory radiator into a 3 or 4 core Shorten and...

Is there any major differences between a 904 crossmember in a 68 Slant Six Dart and the crossmember needed to mount a 727? Is the 727 a bolt in using the original 904 Mount? Thanks!!

I need to know before i make an expensive purchase if the /6 K is the same as the V8 K in every aspect except position of mounts. I am transplanting a 383 into a 68 Dart with the / and would need to know if there are differences. If I can just put in some Shumacher mounts and convert, awesome...

Did Mopar build 727's in different configurations? I know there was a small block and big block 727, but if I pulled a 727 out of a C Body is there any question as to if it will fit under my 68 Dart? swapping /6-904 with a 383 and the 727. motor and trans are a pair. Not concerned about...

My Dart's rear is sagging somewhat after 45+ years and I am needing to tighten it up. I did the same thing to my Scamp with an 8 3/4. The dart is a 7 1/4 but I will be building a GTS tribute. Question is this: Did 68 GTS have 6 leaf springs stock and are these being reproduced? I got my...

Selling my 1971 Scamp. Let's get the to do list out of the way first. Rusted drivers quarter and missing passenger quarter trim. Stock 2 bbl Rochester has been rebuilt, but not satisfied and still have to prime occasionally. Gas gauge not working (sending unit). No rust anywhere else on...

Looking to convert a 68 Dart to BBP. Maybe discs on front, as I do have a set of 73 BBP discs and a booster from a 70 Fury, but question is this: are BBP A Body drums and BBP B Body drums gonna fit the same? BBP A Bodies look scarce, so since BBP is BBP, is there anything that's going to keep...

I'm looking at a AVS that's the correct year for my 68 Dart and it is a Non A/C carb, 4401. What, if any, is the major difference between this carb and the A/C models, 4635 and 4637? Really can't decide if I want to run the A/C on this rebuild or not. Would be great for long hot trips, but...
