    [WANTED] Seat belt

    Hey all. I am looking for a passenger seat lap belt, just half only (door side) for my 1964 Dart. While the car originally came with light blue color retractors, I’ll take any color and non retractable also. I just need a buckle/strap that fits the latch and the C9 bolt as well. Tired of...

    Instrument cluster questions

    On my 64 Dart, the fuel and temp gauges do not work and the lights are super dim and wanted to replace them anyway, so, I pulled my instrument cluster to take a look at the back. Pics below. This thing is a mess......look at all those solder and corrosion. What should my next steps be here? I've...

    1964 Dart 270 commuter/running-project

    ooo, thanks for the '67 combo option. And the supercharger link, I like that! Bookmarking for later! That kind of mod is far down the road at this point. I do plan on getting some proper engine work done as well, but it's not a high priority. I will certainly look into the gears though, I have...

    1964 Dart 270 commuter/running-project

    yes, I am aiming to get a master cylinder with a proportioning valve built in. Finally got the shocks installed. Took the opportunity to lower the vehicle just a bit at the same time. I am kinda digging the look without the hubcaps, it gives it the ratty look that I am going for. I will leave...

    Classic Industries Catalog... Resto Paradise!!

    I do not like using the CI website, they seem to bunch up all makes regardless of what you are searching for or have a filter set at. Have not got anything from them yet, their options do seem very limited for Early A's

    Rear Upper Shock Studs?

    dude, thank you, I will let you know :) and no offense taken at all, everyone has a skill set! Mine's telecom in construction ;)

    Rear Upper Shock Studs?

    ok. I will try the ATF+Acetone first, then try a nut splitter (I cant even type this with a straight face lol). If those fail then I'll try that stud option I linked in the original post. Thanks!

    Rear Upper Shock Studs?

    This is for a '64 Dart 270. Does anyone know where to get these rear upper shock studs? When I removed these shocks to put on new ones, both sides had these nuts froze on. I cannot remove these from either shock. I've tried lube and heat to no avail. Napa did not have them. The only studs they...

    1964 Dart 270 commuter/running-project

    Just a small update. Due to family issues, a bunch of funds I had earmarked for parts got re-purposed, so it's taking longer to get what I need. Anyway, here is what I have done/got so far. In THIS thread I attempted to try to convert to electronic ignition (not HEI as the title says). I was...

    Engine rattle and vacuum connection. 1965 Dodge Dart, 225 engine.

    I adjusted valves for my first time ever yesterday, on any car. I followed the recommendations to do it running and it was a piece of cake honestly. Would have taken longer to do it with the car not running.

    is this Carter BBS fixable?

    This was a success!! No leaks that I can see after driving it hard on the street. Plus it runs significantly better with the float adjusted properly, dang. Thank you all! What a great resource this board is. :)

    is this Carter BBS fixable?

    Thanks all. As said before, I have nothing to lose trying anything at this point. Here is what I have done so far. I tried the screw down to metal method and it did not work. But you can see just how warped it is in the pic. Then I simply just heated it up and tapped on it with a hammer in a...

    is this Carter BBS fixable?

    Know what....I'll give that a shot. I got a large table for my table saw that could use a four extra screw holes lol. Probably can't make it much worse! What grit sand paper should I be using? It'll be a sheet on a flat surface. Why the window glass suggestion? Garage floor?

    is this Carter BBS fixable?

    Well. I had actually got a rebuild kit previously, because the previous owner did it incorrectly (pump spring was in backwards). But since it was my first time ever rebuilding a carb I did not notice the warped abnormalities lol. I was so focused on the little pieces going together instead of...

    is this Carter BBS fixable?

    Hey all, so I noticed that my carb was leaking and I was going to take it off to adjust the float anyway. Once I got the carb apart, I noticed a fair amount of warping, gaps and bent over screw tabs. I had noticed the leak at that larger gap above the fuel inlet. Is this still worth...

    Switching to front disc brake questions

    I think I saw someone has a redesigned stock height spindle, or am I mistaken? I’ll likely just install that when I do the front suspension rebuild at a later date. Lack of funds now >< priority is to just get it daily driverable now.

    Switching to front disc brake questions

    Ok. On my 64 Dart, I am switching to front disc brakes, at the recommendation of several people. Reason is because that this will be a daily driver, it really needs to happen. I have purchased a Wilwood kit to go on the stock spindles. This one: Wilwood Disc Brakes - Front Brake Kit Part No...

    HEI upgrade, wont start (no spark?)

    I started realizing this last night :( None of the suggestions in here worked, so I can only think that one of the components is bad. I ended up cleaning up the old points distributor components and put that back in and it fired right up. I will revisit the electronic ignition at a later date...

    HEI upgrade, wont start (no spark?)

    Right, my mistake, named the type wrong. I will double check these. My mistake, it's not HEI. This thought occurred to me as I lay in bed last night lol. I will try this. That diagram matches what I drew up from reading the instructions. I have confirmed the "feed" wire multiple times. The...

    HEI upgrade, wont start (no spark?)

    Ok, I've been driving myself crazy with this all day. This is on a 1964 Dart 270 I have got this HEI kit from ebay: Dodge Mopar Slant 6 Electronic Distributor Kit Fits 170-198-225 Slant Six. SALE! | eBay So this came with a new coil. The instructions that came with it are ok I guess. I did...

    64 Dart 270 moulding and trim

    well, the thing is, I don't know what they look like. I don't want to remove the trim now either, in cause of difficulty finding the clips....vicious cycle!

    64 Dart 270 moulding and trim

    does anyone have experience with and/or know where to get the clips for the moulding on this car? I want to remove a lot of the trim so I can buff/clear the patina and polish the moulding while it’s off the car. I’m most interested in removing the large fender and door moulding. I’m hesitant to...

    Carter BBS question

    Completed my first carb rebuild ever. Turns out the previous owner put the pump spring in backwards, the large end was not sitting in the spring cup/retainer and so the small end was popping out the hole. Runs much better now, not perfect but way better. Need to do a full valve, timing and carb...
