I just recently got my 63 Dart finished and on the road for the first time. Working through the usual bugs and minor issues but this one is bugging me. When I am driving my Dart it overheats. I took it to a car show and as I was driving there it overheated on me. I was going around 50MPH at...

I am having issues with hot start on my 63 dart with a 170 slant 6. I am guessing it's heat soak. Cold start is good. Once running it's good. If you start it right away after shot of it's good too. It's only really an issue if it sits 5 minutes or more after shut off when warm. All my...

I am getting ready to diagnose a noise in my speedometer or cable and was looking at cables just in case I needed one. I noticed the approximately 60" cable for the Dart is not that easy to locate, and also a little pricey. While I was searching I stumbled across a cable for an early 60s ford...

I have been reading on torsion bar adjustment and have been finding conflicting answers on one part that I am trying to understand. A lot of people say when adjusting ride height make sure to loosen the front nut on the lower control arm pin. I can't see why this is necessary. When you are...

I am considering ordering this bar for my 63 Dart. Question I have is do the aftermarket bars require you to drill the K frame to mount the brackets or are there existing holes that they utilize? I haven't crawled under my car to look yet, but don't remember seeing any extra holes when I...

I am rebuilding my suspension on my 63 dart and ran into a possible issue. I have the lower control arms apart and have all new Moog bushings to install. The one went in as expected onto the pin. I had to press it on. The other I can slide into the pin. It's tight but I don't need to press...

I am at the final stages of a 63 Dart restoration and ran into a small issue. I had everything working as it should but a new gremlin showed up today. First when I was going through everything I tried to make sure I cleaned all the contacts with a brass wire brush and installed all new...

Looking for one of the clips that hold down the rear package tray in a 1963 Dart. Color isn't important as I will be painting them. Will need it shipped to Ontario Canada.

I tried posting this question in the interiors section but had no luck whatsoever so I figured I'd try here and hopefully someone can help me out with this. I am trying to order seat belts for my 63 Dart but am having trouble determining what length to order. I found sets for a 64 (front) but...

I am in the process of installing the headliner in my 63 Dart. I have the front hooked into the Sharks teeth and part of the rear. The question I have is how much material should I leave to push up into the Sharks teeth above the doors? Don't want to cut off more than I need but don't want...

Looking for a little help. I am nearing the completion of restoring my 1963 dart 170 2 door post car and ran into a little issue. I ordered the replacement rubber bumper kit from DMT and the bumpers that I'm assuming are meant for the rear license plate are too small. They are for a 1/4"...

Looking for information on the size of the front crossover brake line for a 1963 Dart. That or where I can get a replacement without buying an entire kit. I went to bleed the brakes last night only to find that one plugged. I bled the rear brakes no problem with only a tiny bit of dirt, no...

I am in the process of getting ready to install my headliner in my 63 Dart 2 door post. When I got the car a number of parts were lost, including the rear window reinforcement and listing wires for the last headliner bow (look like a "J" hook to hold the last bow. Car had previous damage to...

Has anyone with a 2 door post car that has bought new car whiskers noticed a problem with fitment? I just installed the glass runs on the driver side of my 2 door post dart and went to install the new car whiskers but the front door outer doesn't fit. The inner is fine as the door has multiple...

I was soaking my window regulators in evaporust overnight to clean them up. Only light surface but easier than by hand. When I took them out they were spotless, but one of the springs was broken. This is not the first time I have had something made of spring steel either break or become...

I have a 63 Dart that I am finishing off a restoration of and ran into an issue. When I got the car it had the core plugs out and new ones in a box to replace them (they were corroded through). Thus, it had no coolant when I got it. I removed the engine and went over the engine with all new...

I am in the process of reassembly of my 63 Dart and finally got to the point of firing it up for the first time in 3 years but ran into a slight issue. When I start it starts and runs good but as soon as I release the key to run it shuts off. If I hold it just past run towards start but not...

I have just finished my first paint job on my 63 dart and while it came out really good overall I had some dust settle into the clear. I made the decision to wet sand the defects out. That went really good. I got it to 5000 grit (I know, overkill, but it came with the paper selection I...

I am curious as to what different manual mirrors were offered on the 1963 Dart? I amin the process of putting mine back together after painting it and realized my new twin post mirror I ordered won't fit the holes in the door. They are the original holes as the car was original paint when I...

I am getting near to the finish line on my 1963 Dart rebuild and went to put the redone steering column in and ran into a snag. The gasket for the firewall that I ordered that stated for 1963-66 dart is incorrect. The one I got is from DMT, which is usually good parts has only 3 holes while...

Looking for a decent heater control panel for a 1963 dart. Mine has numerous cracks and I would rather replace it than try to repair this one. I don't need the cables, just the panel. Thanks in advance.

Does any one know if the small hood release spring for a 1963 dart is reproduced? If so, could someone let me know who sells them? I was cleaning up my hood release to reinstall it and accidentally pressed it in the wrong spot and broke it. I have already placed a wanted listing, but if it...

As the title states, I am in need of the small spring that goes on the hood release for a 1963 dart. It goes from the safety hook to the release mechanism. I was cleaning it up to reinstall and unfortunately pressed in the wrong spot and snapped it. Would need it shipped to Ontario, Canada...

Looking for some opinions/possible tips for installing sound deadener in my 63 dart. I have some kilmat sound deadener I plan to install but am unsure how far to go with it. I have new firewall insulation to install, but should I still put kilmat underneath it, or just up to it? Also do you...

Looking for info on the correct lengths for front and rear seat belts for a 63 Dart 2 door sedan. I have the factory holes for the fronts but will have to drill for the rears. I am planning on getting the aftermarket belts but they come in different lengths. Any info on the correct length...

Hey all, I am in the process of getting my 63 dart 170 ready for paint and had a question. When I got the car it had already been partially disassembled. Both of the 170 emblems from the panels behind the rear side glass had been removed. One side had one barrel clip still installed. My...

I am in the process of ordering all the final parts I need for reassembly of my Dart once it comes back from paint and have a question. I was looking for the engine bay wiring strap kits and am noticing that all the ones I can find only come with 2 or 3 of the straps for along the side of the...
