    PS pump rebuild... which kit?

    The bearings in the power steering pump are noisy. I'm going to get a reseal kit and try to find bearings from a local shop. Online kit sources offer different kits for Saginaw and Chrysler pumps. Which do I have? '74 318 Swinger.

    Lost an alternator bolt, anybody know the spec?

    In doing the water pump job on my '74 Dart 318, I've misplaced the long bolt that goes through the mounting bracket. Looked in my truck, Dad's truck, both of my toolboxes, the blast cabinet, etc. Does anyone know the specs on that bolt?

    Stock 318 with a new noise.

    Got my '74 out for a little cruise in the country and heard a new noise. This happens under pretty much any acceleration, or even cruising under throttle. Belts are snug, the fan doesn't appear to be hitting anything, and fluids are topped. Seems to be coming from the front of the engine, but...

    What would you do?

    A little background: '74 Swinger, factory 318/AC/disc brake car. Shows 58-ish thousand miles. Other than leaving the vinyl top off during the repaint and adding Magnums (and the Corvair rocker trim, but ignore that), it's all stock and original. I just cruise it around and occasionally drive it...

    Just wanted to show off my '74.

    Looks small next to the LARC at work. It's coming along nicely. Since getting last year, it's had... - the shredded vinyl roof removed and body repainted in the original color - new heater core and carpet - Magnums and fresh BFGs - rebuilt power brake booster - new thermostat and upper/lower...

    Already time for a cooling system rebuild.

    Picked up my '74 Swinger (318) from the paint shop a couple of weeks ago. Drove it to work last weekend to repair an exhaust leak, then my dad wanted me to pick him and take him for a cruise down the Natchez Trace Parkway. The whole time, it's running fine. Bought new alternator, A/C, and power...

    '74 is out of the paint booth! Now to make it stop...

    Really excited to see my '74 with shiny paint once again. New windshield seal too. Now I need to find a power brake booster. It seems the diaphragm has dried up. Can't find any in the country though, and nobody offering to rebuild. Is there one from another model that I can find and adapt?

    A-bodies at my local drag strip

    Just thought I'd post up a few photos of local drag racers running A-bodies at the local strip (Music City Raceway aka Union Hill). These are actually the guys and cars that inspired me to buy my Dart. Have only seen this sedan out once. Due to my work schedule, I can only get out to the track...

    [WANTED] Rocker molding clips for '74 Swinger

    Hey all, Anybody know a source for these? Or perhaps you have some in good usable condition you'd be willing to part with?

    Finally giving Mopars a try. Oh, and a parts source request.

    After decades of giving everything else automotive a try, I picked up a fully loaded '74 Dart Swinger last year. Completely stock, and I'm just the third owner. Spent the past year having new carpet and heater core installed, new paint, other such things. Getting pretty close with it. Since...
