    Fender Tag

    Am looking to add another vehicle to my stable and had a question about fender tags and VIN tags. Both the vin number and fender tags in this car are attached via philip head screws rather then rivets and i've been told that this is not legal and they should be attached with special rivets...

    Can't get in Reverse

    A833 with Hurst 4-speed. If i remove the reverse rod from tab on side of tranny I can manually put the tranny in reverse but with rod attached, no chance. The shifter won't 'pull' over to the left, and so can not move 'up', does this sound like the linkage needs adjusted?? Understand...

    Posi, good for icy roads?

    Had the rear of my Dart up on stands and decided to check the gear ratio. Got just under 3 complete revolutions of the drive shaft to 1 tire revolution. So would that make it a 2:?? to 1 gear ratio? Also, both rear tires turn the same direction when I spun one of them so it seems it is a posi...

    Dash cover install

    Just recieved my new dash pad cover from yearone. Don't know who they use but the fit and color look to be super, this is for a 70dart. Question, the dash pad is off and out of the car so would it be easier to attach the cover now or wait until that pad is installed back in the car?

    Texture dash paint

    I am trying to locate the paint used for the metal part of the dash board. Unlike the paint used on the upper and sides of the door panels which is glossy, the dash paint is the same color but has a rough texture, almost like 200 grit paper? And would this require a larger spray gun tip?

    Have everything torn down to the blinker mechanism but can't get any further. Removed the snap ring from the main steering wheel shaft thinking the housing would slide off but no go. How do I get to the tumbler portion of the ignition switch on a 70 A-body? Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
