Thanks a lot 67Dart for the great information. The MAD upgrade makes a lot of sense and I'm going to do it soon. I appreciate the help! John

Hello, My '68 Dart is not charging. I have the pre-1970 alternator and regulator. I replaced the alternator and it didn't solve the problem. Today I found that the alternator positive post (output) does not have voltage when the engine is off. Isn't that wire supposed to have 12V (part of the...

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen one of those... I have had a few ocasions where I could has used one...

What is that on the dash, some type of mid-70's radar detector?

I guess I didn't read the last line where he discloses that it's had the top cut off. I stand corrected.

The ad reads "where else can you buy a convertible for this price". He has some bids... I bet someone is going to buy it thinking it's real and has a top. Do you think we should report him...

I've decided to shorten the longer shaft and use the conversion joint at the 8 3/4. Thanks for all the help. I appreciate it.

I was afraid of that, thanks.

Okay guys, I need some help. I'm doing the last few things to get my Dart on the road after my big brake, mini-tub, spring relocation, tires & wheels project. I went to put the driveshaft in today and found a problem I did not anticipate. I have two driveshafts, and neither one will fit...

How do you know?

I have what I believe is a factory BB windage tray and I plan to buy a Mildoon low profile pan. Can the Mopar tray work with the Mildoon pan, or should I buy the Mildoon tray? Thanks, John

The crank number is 4027175-5 and the damper says "Use With Cast Crank Only", so I guess that settles that. Oh well, If I don't try to do anything silly with this motor I should be okay. Several of the rod caps look like they have been machined so that some are flat and some are more rounded...

It looks to be cast. I'm embarassed to say it, but I don't really know how to tell the difference. It seems to have obvious casting marks. Is there an easy and obvious way to identify a cast crank vs. forged?

Thanks guys. I'm going to get the chassis like I want it and get it good and road worthy before I pull the 318. If funds are still tight when I'm ready (if I don't win the lotery - I guess I should play...) then I think I'll just get a valve job on those '67 heads and put my Edelbrock dual...

Well, I bought the motor. It was 200 miles round trip to get it, but think it was worth it. The old guy seemed as honest as they come, and after I bought it and was ready to leave he told me that he spent $3K in this short block. That's seems hard to believe, but it all looks like new. Maybe...

Thanks guys! I'm going tonight to buy it. He gave me a casting number of 4006630-440-7 with a date of 4-14-78. I have a set of '67 closed chamber heads. If this motor is a 8 to 1 compression (or less) motor, does anyone know what the ballpark ratio will be with the '67 heads? Thanks...

I'm trying to get the casting number. It is likely a '78 chassis titled as a '79 motorhome. Thanks, John

I'm wanting to convert from the worn out 318 to a BB, but funds are tight. I have the BB K-member and other BB parts (heads, blocks, trans), but nothing that's even close to running. I just saw on Craig's List a freshly rebuilt 440 short block for $250. I called the guy, and he still has...

Heck, If I lived in that area I would see how low he might go. At some price, it would be worth it to put the right front end back on it, if you wanted a project... I guess one should be very careful to figure out why it needed a new front clip to begin with (look for unrepaired frame damage)...

Man...I can't get used to seeing all these awesome cars!

Right now it has a dressed up, but worn out 318. I haven't even driven it since I bought it. I've been rebuilding the front end. As soon as I get it driving and looking like I want I plan to make it a big block stroker. Thanks,

Hello everyone, I'm new to the Forum, but not to A-Bodies. I built a '69 440 Dart when I was in High School way back in 1981. I just dismantled that car (rust) for parts for my new baby that I bought about a month ago. My plan is to make it a retro-mod driver with big brakes, big...
