Im looking at a 383 2 barrel thats in a 67 charger. Seller states that it has a mild cam installed by the previous owner. Its already got a 4 barrel carb on it. I know about the compression difference in the 67 383s. Question is, is this engine worth trying to squeeze more power out of at a...

Just curious what you guys think. Im on the fence about it.

I’ve been under the impression that my wheels were 14x5.5. I was told recently at a show that they should be 14x8. The back ones sure look thin with 245/60-14s on them! It’s a Swinger 340.

Just got the 4 speed back in my Dart. Anyone know what to torque the 4 bolts (transmission to bellhousing)? 1970 Dart Swinger 340.

Ok, all you super genius guys, I gotta get my spring out with the pedal assembly installed in the car. The new clutch requires that I remove it. Is there a really easy way, or should I just cut the S.O.B.? Fact is that I've got a really bad hernia, and don't have surgery until 7/22, so I'm a...

I’ve got the A833 out of my Swinger, but the bell housing and everything connected to it is proving to be a pain in the ***. Is it possible to remove and replace a clutch while leaving the bell housing in place? The last clutch I replaced was in a 71 SS454 chevelle, and that was 40 years ago...

Went to the Indy Cylinder Head swap meet in Indianapolis yesterday, and was able to meet one of the regulars on here! He goes by my68barracuda. Hes a heck of a nice guy and by coincidence only lives about a 1/2 hour from me. I really wish I couldve met more of you that went, like Jadaharabi...

So my neighbor came over and asked what year my Dart is. He's looking for a 1970 in particular. His full time job, working from his house, is designing and drawing art for T-shirts. About 99% of what he does is racing oriented. Lots of work for drag racing, IndyCar, nascar, etc. So to make a...

Has anyone used the classic Industries instrument bezels? Mine looks like crap, and I was wondering how well the replacements look and fit.

There's a pretty good cruise-in at Lowe's in Avon on Saturday evenings from 6-9pm. I was there tonight and a T6 (maybe) 1970(maybe) dart drove by twice but didn't stop. I would love to see some of you guys show up there. It's a decent cruise-in with over 100 cars every Saturday.

A month or so ago, Skrews posted an M1 dual plane intake for sale on here. I was fortunate enough to buy it, and I wanted everyone to know that he is definitely one of the good guys to buy from. He even worked with me on the shipping to make it fit my budget. Skrews, thanks again!

I posted this last week under events, but since I'm posting pics weekly, I think it should be here. There is a cruise-in in Avon, Indiana at the Lowes every Saturday night through October. It's a pretty good time, lots of friendly people, with typically around 100 cars. Sometimes more...

Every Saturday evening through mid October. At the Lowe's on US36. 6pm till 9pm weather permitting. 50-50 drawing to benefit the Indy Honor Flight, which flies vets to DC to tour memorials. There's usually a few B and E bodies, but damn few A bodies. I'll try to post pictures weekly

Just found out on another thread that a member here has possibly as many (or more) than 5 accounts on FABO. There can't be ANY good reason for this, can there? This information was freely admitted by the member. I just found out as I'm starting this thread, that the member in question isn't the...

My daughter has a 2013 Chevy cruz and I was comparing it to my dart. Length: Dart 196.2" Cruz 183.7" Width: Dart 69.7" Cruz 70.7" Wheelbase: Dart 111" Cruz 105.7" Weight: Dart 2998 (6cyl) Cruz 3118 H.P.: Dart 300 plus Cruz...

70, 340 swinger. Original owner had it restored. Should the gas cap be painted body color, or not?

My 70 Dart came with 3.91 sure grip. I feel that driving it 70 mph for extended miles is asking a lot of my 340. I have the stock 14" wheels with 245/60-14 tires. My buddy works at NAPA in southern Indiana, and hes got a customer with a 69 roadrunner 383 with 3.91 sure grip that he drives on...

How to rebuild your small block mopar, by Don Taylor. Prices on ebay and Amazon are through the roof. I'm fairly new to small block mopars, and this series of books was excellent years ago.

I grew up a chevy guy. 72 chevelle, 71 monte carlo many years ago. Also drove a couple of 5.0, 5 speed fox body mustangs. This is a really trivial thing, but I notice that everyone seems to be ok with calling pre 1970 barracudas "cudas", which they aint. Back in the 80s, I knew guys that had A...

My wife entered me (against my wishes) in my first "judged" car show last Saturday. Surprisingly, I got a top 40 award out of 131 entrants! And I had the only A body there!

Recently replaced the alternator on my 70 340 Dart. The new one has a smaller pulley and now I'm getting 17.3 volts at fast idle. Could pulley size be causing this? I've checked the wiring, and have repaired/ replaced some of it myself. I've got .1 ohm resistance in the charging circuit, which...

My Dart is a 1970 Swinger 340. 4 speed, bucket seats without console. 3.91 rear. Hemi orange without vinyl top, black interior. Hood is body color with black scoops and factory hood pins. This is the way it was ordered in 1970 and is the way it is now. Rare? Or not?

My 70 340, 4 speed Dart won't start easy or idle until it gets hot. Could this be a mixture screw adjustment problem? The carb was professionally rebuilt before I owned it and the entire choke assembly was replaced.

In the next week or so I'm acquiring a 70 Swinger from a friend that he ordered new upon returning from Vietnam Nam. 340, 4 speed, buckets, 6 year(!) frame off restoration. 99% original. Restoration took too long and he's lost interest in it. It's truly a beautiful car!
