I have a 74 Valiant Broughm 2 door hardtop that I bought a little over a year ago. Solid car. Needs drivers floorboard (Have replacement), cracked windshield, a little rust around rear window where the vinyl top was. 318, A904. Runs decent but needs carb work. Included but not installed is a...

I know this has been covered at least a million times but I'm going to ask anyway. I have a 74 Valiant and it currently has an 8-1/4 rear end. I want to replace it with a stronger unit with sure grip (or posi-track depending on what fits). What is the easiest to find and fit? I've heard Jeep...

Need lower control arms for a 74 Valiant with sway bar tabs. I know the early years are different. If you have them please PM me. Thanks, Larry

1969 Dart GT. Has been completely stripped and redone. No rust, all glass good, needs to be completed. Was appraised a little over 2 years ago for around $28k. Will dig up appraisal docs. Clear title. Was originally a /6. Now has a magnum based 408 stroker with EFI, A518 tranny built by Martin...

With all the talk about crumby buyers and sellers I thought it would be a change to say something good about someone! Several weeks ago Bonehead (Thomas Baker) posted that he needed a fuel rail for a magnum V8. I had one so I PM'd him and let him know that it was his for the cost of shipping. He...

Saw this on another site and thought it was worth posting....

Hope you guys and gals don't mind a little personal sorrow. Need to tell the world a little about my wife. On June 4th my wife of 20 years died of a strange type of lung cancer that seems to be genetic to those who are descendants of familes in coal mining areas of the eastern US. In 7 months...

OK, it ain't a MOPAR but its still a nice car. Was my wife's but she recently passed away and I already have my Durango and Dart so I don't need it. We are the 3rd owners. 117.5k give or take. Auto, pw, etc., all the luxury car stuff. Includes a laptop with 2 service manuals from different...

I need a right front fender, hood, grille, bumper, and right side bumper brackets for a 69 Dart so I can fix the accident damage caused by a bimbo on a cell phone. As rust free as possible. Also may wind up needing a core support... Thanks. Larry

Well, my $25k investment now needs repair! Driving down the street at about 25MPH when this 19YO bimbo on a cell phone thinks she can make it across the intersection in front of me. Needless to say she didn't make it! I hit the right rear of her Suzuki and knocked it into another car that was...

Does anyone have a 7290 pinion yoke I can borrow for a few weeks? I'll pay shipping both ways. I need one to make a tone wheel for a VSS signal to shift my tranny. All the transmission controllers use a 40 pulse per revolution AC signal and the A518 uses a 8000 pulse per mile Hal signal and so...

I have made a master of the Richmond Gear differential instruction video. Some members have already contacted me and received copies. I took the VHS tape, compliments Bill Dedman, and made a DVD of it. Anyone wanting a copy of it just PM me your name and mailing address. Hopefully the...

OK, here is one for everyone. The FSM for the 69 Dart just says to install the torsion bars. Pretty vague in that it doesn't say how far into the LCA socket to put them. Do you bottom them out in the LCA socket? If you do, the rear hex is forward of the cross member in the rear anchor. If you...

The car is my 69 Dart that I just got together and on the road. About 800 miles on it. From day one its had a noise in the right front suspension. Sounds kinda like a loose ball joint. All parts are new, everything. Poly bushings upper and lower, Moog ball joints, tie rod ends, pitman and idler...

Check Out the Just Suspension ebay store. Look at the way the torsion bars are listed. First time I knew that they were different for different years a-bodies.... http://motors.shop.ebay.com/just-suspension/m.html?_nkw=mopar&_sacat=&_trksid=p3911.m270.l1313&_odkw=&_osacat=0

My magnum based 408 stroker has an oil pressure fluctuation. At idle (about 850 RPM) it appears to be around 2-4 LBS per Sq Inch and relatively quick. Has great oil pressure 45 Lbs at idle warm and aroud 80 at 2000 RPM. The fluctuation increases in speed off idle and appears to go away at around...

Started talking to a mechanic at the dodge dealer yesterday. He's into building the Magnums. He was telling me that the lifters have to be installed with the oil hole facing up. Not a problem EXCEPT, the guy that put my engine together just dropped them into the hole, lined them up and put the...

ebay listing. Not mine but looks good and price is right. Shame its on the other coast from me! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190284996400&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&viewitem=

Finally getting ready to get my Dart out of the shop. Installed the A518 tranny and found out it has no reverse. When I pulled it last year to redo the car it had reverse with no problem. Now its as if reverse is not there. All other gears work fine, shifts great, all linkages are adjusted...

I have a Magnum based 408 CI stroker that I will be putting into my Dart. The engine is a fresh rebuild and has not been run since being assembled as a stroker. I currently has the stock bolts in the main caps. I need to replace the bolts with studs so I can mount the oil pump pickup support...

OK, here is the problem. I'm getting ready to install my new 408 stroker into my Dart. Its going to be a bottom up install on the k-member. Engine has 5 qts of oil in it. In the process of moving the engine from the stand to the k-member it was nose (front) down at about a 30 degree angle. I...

Anyone know where to get the nylon rollers that guide the quarter windows in a 69 Dart? Everyone that advertises them tells me they are on "National Back Order" and not expected in until hell freezes over. Can't be that hard to get some Chinese slave labor to make up those things.... TIA. Larry

Well, been working on this thing now for the last 4 years or so. Did a lot of mockup work on the transmission crossmember and steering column before I even started doing any work in the car. Last August I finally got around to gettin it media blasted and the body work started. Its now in paint...

This should be an easy question for all you guys that have a lot of experience with A-bodies. When you install the torsion bars, how far do they go into the sockets? On my 69 Dart, if you install them until they bottom out in the LCA pivot, there is about an inch between the bar and the spring...

Its getting about time to put the roll cage in the Dart. Anyone have any recommendations on a supplier? Looks like slim pickins for the A-bodies. Mine's a 69 Dart. Anyone to stay away from? Thanks, Larry
