    Air in cooling system

    So today I was trying to access some bolts on the air intake. (It's a Monday, so I'm not thinking straight) I started removing what I thought was the heater tube (actually coolant tube from the intake to the water pump). I pulled it off and surprise! about 1/3 of a cup of coolant came out. I...

    New valves/ valve springs with new cam?

    I currently have an RV cam (not sure of the specs) in a 318 from 1967. I am thinking about upgrading the cam to a summit racing cam (285 duration, .480 lift) or maybe something bigger than that. Would I need new valves or valve springs ( I think the current ones are stock)? Also, would anything...

    "Custom" Shift Linkage

    Hi! I have a 74 dart sport that has a 318 and an automatic 727 from 1967. It originally had a slant-six and an automatic 904. As of now, the way the shift linkage is set up makes it so the needle on the gear indicator doesn't match up with the letters and it can't shift into first manually. I...

    Engine doesn't turn over easily

    So today I went to start up the Dart. The first time I turned it over, it was fine. I let it run for a few mins and then I turned it off. When I went to turn it on again (only a few mins after I turned it off), the starter wouldn't engage. I moved the shift handle a little, and then tried to...

    Trouble installing new shocks.

    So I just got 4 new Bilstein shocks and the front ones went on just fine. However, I am having trouble with the rubber on the rear 2. The rubber is making it hard to put the shocks onto the bolts attached to the car. They seem too tight to get on. I have tried grease and freezing the rubber, but...

    Will the rear axle fit?

    Does anyone know if a 8 and 3/4 rear axle from a 1968 B- body would fit in a 1974 dodge dart sport originally with a 8 and 1/4 rear axle (A- body)? The 8 and 3/4 axle is a 3.23 sure grip and the 8 and 1/4 axle is a 2.76 peg leg. Would I be able to just swap out the two? Are the measurements the...

    Anyone have experience pumping gas?

    So, I'm a young first time Mopar owner, and I have lots of problems when pumping gas into my 74 dart sport. The nozzle almost immediately stops when I start releasing the gas and there is generally a large amount of spilled gas drops. Anyone know how to use gas pumps so they work with older...

    leaks and brakes poorly.

    On our 1974 dodge dart sport, we recently had the brakes redone. New calipers, drums, rotors, and a new master cylinder. All have been bled and the master cylinder was bench bled before it was put on the car and before (but not after) the new brakes (rotors, calipers, drums). Every time we take...

    How to fix sticky lifter.

    On the 1967 318, we have a sticky lifter. We hear it at idle, but it goes away when we rev it and the oil pressure goes up. It then returns at ilde. The engine did sit out of the car and didn't run for at least a year . We tried an oil additive, but that didn't work too well. Also, it is only...

    Recently, our 318 started making noise when running. Ever since we got it running , the timing has been weird. After starting it up one day, the car shook more than normal , and was making a funny noise. When we took all the belts off, to get to the harmonic balancer, we saw it was loose (that...

But then, the engine started making two funny noises. One is a clicking sound ( likely a stuck lifter ...

    Cant get it to turn over

    We have run into a bit of a problem. The car won't turn over at all now. We can't figure out why. We know the battery , starter , and starter relay work. We have connected (at least what we think is) all the wires for it to be able to turn over. Some of the wiring is mixed stock (inline six) and...
