    Any 4 doors out there?

    I love the 4 door! I also love the fact that you have your son involved. That’s how my love for these old A bodies started back in the 80’s. Great to see the car and the next generation involved! Keep up the great work and keep that young man involved. That’s what is going to carry on our...

    Push button cable routing

    My 64 Dart the two cables follow the same path as the speedo cable. The front most cable is the push button cable and routes out of the firewall, jumps over the exhaust and enters the front of the transmission. The rear most cable is for the parking pawl. It follows the speedo cable from the...

    [FOR SALE] Misc early A interior parts for sale

    I have two pairs of visors. The black ones are uncovered and have been modified by the previous owner of my car. He glued a thin hard plastic over the original cardboard. They are out of my 1964 Dart. The blue ones may be for a later model Mopar? They are a bit larger than the early A visors...

    [FOR SALE] 62-66 Front Door Seals 4 Door Sedans

    I have an unused set of front door seals for 1962-1966 A & B Body 4 door sedans. I am guessing they would fit the front doors of a wagon as well since it is a 4 door. They are black in color. They were ordered from RockAuto and are made by metro. These are currently $118.99 at Rockauto.com. I...

    Original A904 Trans Factory Filter?

    Some of the bolts that hold the tail shaft to the gear box portion of the trans have the potential to leak. They use a special washer that is coated with a black sealer. I used the special washers and mine still leaked. So after my trans was in my car, I backed off each bolt, one at a time, and...

    Original A904 Trans Factory Filter?

    Just wanted to throw out there that 1964 was the change over year for the trans filter on my Dart. It came from the factory with a metal screen and an in cooler line filter. I have since changed the pan and the filter. If this is an early 904 the pan will be too shallow to use the fabric covered...

    Speedometer cable question....

    Rusty, I am picturing in my head a unit that bolts to the trans in place of the speedo cable. It stays in the trans full time and a cable or electronic sensing unit screws into it. I remember seeing a unit like that from an aftermarket vendor, and I think it was for early A’s. I also remember...

    904 help needed I'm confused

    Something to know about the kits... they will come with the maximum number of disks necessary for a particular year range. So the kit may come with 8 discs but your application may only use 6. After your clutch packs are apart, you measure to see if you have room to add another clutch disc...

    727 rebuild opinions/thoughts welcome

    I think doing it yourself is great. You end up knowing everything that was done because you did it yourself. I did my 904 on a folding table in my basement garage. It isn't hard at all, especially if you follow the step by step instructions in the FSM. The FSM will tell you what to do and in...

    Best Modern Seats?

    I believe they are 1996? through the end of the Sebring convertible production in the early 2000’s? They all had the 3 point seatbelts integrated.

    Best Modern Seats?

    I have seen a number of early a body guys using Chrysler Sebring convertible seats. They can be had for cheap from junk yards. Most of the people that did this hooked up the module that is part of the seat. This allows the driver seat to be power. This seat is also a high back bucket that offers...

    Four Door Door Panels

    If the panels currently in the car are in good shape and don’t look terrible, have you considered vinyl/fabric spray paint. The stuff works really well as long as you follow the directions. I used it on some spots on my interior and it is holding up well. Otherwise I think the only other option...

    Stupid air cleaner question.

    Some pics of mine. Same as yours with about 1/8 inch of opening all the way around.

    Stupid air cleaner question.

    Sounds right. I had the same mental battle with my Dart. I was thinking there was no way I was getting enough air to the engine. I thought about using the factory base and installing an aftermarket top. I would leave the whole element open and really increase air flow... turns out the...

    Intake/Exhaust Gaskets

    You are looking for Remflex #6008. Can be found at Summit, Advanced Auto Parts online, eBay, and Amazon. I bought mine on Amazon and the first one came in damaged/bent. They can't be bent at all. I contacted Amazon and a new one was sent out the same day that arrived in fine shape. Here is...

    Slant 6 Distributor

    I think the ebay ECU is an okay unit, but a bit expensive. You don't need to have a high rev up to 7500 RPM. A 225 slant will never get to that RPM in daily or show car driving. I think you should save the money and install the HEI conversion. Get a distributor from Old Car Parts Northwest...

    Not enough spark

    I'm not a great mechanic, but let me throw my thoughts in here. If you have spark, then the distributor and coil are doing their job. If it is a weak spark, what is the voltage you are reading at the coil? Did the ballast resistor fail and now you have no voltage at the coil? Check the whole...

    Vacuum advance tube fitting fell out of carb! Advise?

    I bought it at Mike’s Carburetor Parts out of Chehalis WA. They have a good website. 49.00 plus shipping. Wire it into any 12 volt supply that is turned off and on by the key. The little black box with the wires going into it is the temp sensor. The instructions want it on the rear most exhaust...

    Vacuum advance tube fitting fell out of carb! Advise?

    Good eye! Not a factory choke setup. I converted to electric choke when I replaced the exhaust manifold. Works great. I can get you the kit number and order info if you would like it. Doug

    Vacuum advance tube fitting fell out of carb! Advise?

    Doing a general tune up, oil change, and tire rotate on my car this evening. 170 slant six with a Carter BBS. Checked the timing and when I disconnected the vacuum advance from the carb, I noticed the tube fitting felt loose. With a small amount of gentle persuasion I was able to pull it out...

    Exhaust system recommendations

    If you are going to go the route of the custom bent exhaust, use the 2 1/4 from the manifold back to the muffler and then 2” from the muffler out to the bumper. The exhaust gas has cooled and condensed enough by that point that 2” is all you need. Plus it gets rid of the hollow drone noise a...

    Carter to Holley...

    12.5 gram float will work. The key to the 1920 is float level. Rough and dirty is 1/4 inch from the top of the float to the top of the float bowl with the carb held upside down. You can use a 1/4 drill bit as a measuring tool. After dry measuring, you run the car and pull the "power valve"...
