Hello Gear Heads, Merry Christmas! A year ago, my wife called me from the kitchen floor. Doing what? Laying low because of a drive by shootout in front of our house in Tacoma WA. Called the police and said I had video footage of the car and the guy sitting on the passenger windowsill, shooting...

I've had on ongoing exhaust leak inside this convertible since we bought it. The convertible boot is missing but so what? It didn't matter for half the year because the top was down. This time of year, it matters again. I bought rubber plugs for every hole in the floor pan and spent more time...

Since doing the latest engine mods, there is a hesitation accelerating off of idle (below 1500 RPM) when the choke has opened, and the thermostat is still closed. Stone cold / choke closed - no hesitation. At operating temperature - same smooth pull off of a green traffic light. In between full...

Needed to upgrade to synthetic PS fluid after tube headers. Drilled a couple holes in this hard side jug lid to get it done. 1/4" hole for the tubing. 1" hole for the shop vac. The vacuum in the jug pulls the PS fluid through the tube and doesn't saturate the vac's filter.

Since making a set of Clifford shorties barely fit around my '64 Dart PS gear and clutch linkage, I've noticed a 0.5 to 1 second lag or seemingly moment of the PS pump going inoperative when I'm at idle and turning a corner. Doesn't happen every time and usually "freezes" about halfway through...

Looking for two serviceable /6 rocker arms. Don't need the adjustment screws. :thankyou:

Hello all. As part of my reassembling of the cylinder head after shaving off .075", I soaked the rocker arms in the 'new-improved' EPA compliant carb cleaner and blew them all out with compressed air. I also gave them all the once over with a toothbrush. Upon adjusting the valves with the...

I'm cleaning the shop after upgrading to a BBD on my /6. For Sale is a Holley 1920 that came with the car when I bought it. It was stickered UREMCO Remanufactured 01/29/15. Looking at previous invoice history, I'm guessing the carb has less than 5K miles on it. I put a rebuild kit in it along...

I upgraded to a BBD on my slant so I'm selling the Holley 1920 air cleaner housing and like new NAPA GOLD air filter. I'm assuming it's a stock housing. No visible rust or holes. No wing nut. I'm happy to take close-up pics of anything you'd like a closer look at. $35 plus the stamp from 98418

Cleaning up the shop after my Clifford tube header project. Free to a good home, one Remflex exhaust manifold to intake manifold gasket. PM me an address and I'll drop it in the mail.

I'm doing a 1974 BBD conversion to replace my Holley 1920. So far so good! What are people doing to plug the extra three BBD vacuum ports? And is there is a preferred port for the distributor vacuum advance?

When I did a valve job 2K miles ago, I torqued my Fel-Pro gasketed head to the FSM spec of 65lbs. I just had my head cut .075" for a static 8.05:1 compression. My new Dutra /6 Engines book shows Dutra torquing the head bolts to 80lbs. What to do?

I plan to attend "The big Puyallup swap meet" this weekend to see if I can find an 8.25" carrier to upgrade my 2:45 rear end to either a 2:93 or 3:23. I've learned here that my 2:45 carrier has a different thickness ring gear mounting area so the pinion will line up properly. How would I...

I have a 1974 model year BBD to put on my '64 /6. Head is at the machine shop for an expected 8.7-1 static compression, stock cam for now, probably points ignition for now, and tube headers. Are there internal modifications needed to make this carb function optimally on my slant? Thanks in...

Hello all, I'm all wound up about making this split manifold modification while replacing the deteriating exhaust system on my '64 slant. This shinney new exhaust manifold is ready to cut in two and weld up. Dang if I can't find anyone in Tacoma that welds cast iron exhaust! Last known one...

Ref - daily driver '64 Dart /6. Cylinders bored .030 over. Cam unknown, valve job is 2K miles old. 1920 carb being changed out to a Carter BBD with the single barrel manifold cut out mod. Points and condenser may get upgraded to electronic if I don't run out of $. Distributer gives 44 deg. of...

Hello all. I'm looking for an unserviceable Holley 1920 carb. so I can cut off the throttle shaft. It's time to do the Two Barrel Conversion and I'd rather not damage a good 1920 for the end of the throttle shaft. Thanks in advance!! :thankyou:

The rear(?) bearing started to howl on what looks like the model correct alternator on our '64 /6 Dart. At least it looks like the alternator illustrated in the FSM. It reliably produces 14.6 volts through the voltage regulator. I didn't want to mess with it, so I bought a new alternator from...

Can't seem to find a Holley 1920 float bowl baffle. Does anyone have one they could trace for me? I think I could cut one out of an old credit card or suitable scrap plastic if I had the shape.

Rebuilding my Holley 1920 carb and found the float bowl baffle missing. No major issues with how the /6 runs. Just a little rich at cruise. I found it jetted larger than the FSM recommends. Anyway, Holley thought enough of the float bowl baffle to put one in there, so I may as well try to put it...

Free to pick up in Tacoma WA - four wheel cribs measuring about 14" x 14" x 12" tall. Tight Bond glued and screwed together. Thought I would need eight cribs when I first started working on my honey's 64 Dart. Four will keep me goovin. This is probably $200 in lumber at today's prices! :lol:

'64 Dart /6; A year ago, I cleaned all through firewall connections, tuned up the dash gauges, and cleaned tail, head, and parking light sockets, replaced the fuse box, and cleaned and adjusted the brake light switch. I didn't go into the headlamp switch or turn signal switch, but the turn...

So when we bought this '64 Dart last year, it had a new carpet rolled up in the trunk. After using POR-15 on the floor pans and adding a layer of sound deadening, I figured it was the right time to plug in the new carpet. Of course I tossed out the old, ratty carpet. The new carpet didn't fit...

Okay, someone is going to say, "screwdriver". I tried that - it didn't work. A slot screwdriver will adjust the drum brake tighter but will not loosen it. I can hold down the tension tab that fits into the adjustment wheel through the offset opening, but can't back the adjustment wheel up from...

Hello All, I'm wanting to replace my 8 1/4" rear end 2.45 gears with something more suitable for my /6. Anyone out there done an upgrade on their 8 1/4" rear end and have an open carrier differential sitting under their bench? Gears in the 2.90s or low 3s preferred. :thankyou:

New - in a sealed bag, Layson's Dart / Barracuda trunk weatherstripping. This was in a box of "stuff" that came with my '64 Dart. They sell online for +/- $25.00. How about $13 and the stamp to mail?

This pair of "FA421" Ball Joints were in the trunk of my '64 Dart when I bought it. Looks like they go for $45 -60 each depending on the web site. How about $45 for the pair plus the stamp.

This was in the trunk of my '64 Dart when I bought it. Don't know if it's Mopar or not. If you can use it, just pay the freight from Tacoma WA 98418.

To start with, you guys that can rebuild a convertible top out of nothing are so far ahead of me, I can hardly relate. Hopefully this fix isn't too far over my head.:D Somewhere in this car's life, a heavy politician must have sat on the top frame while doing the parade wave. The frame bow...

I got lucky taking the windshield washer portion of the wiper switch apart and cleaning up the contacts on my '64 Dart. Now I'm looking for a replacement F fitting for the washer hoses. There are F fittings for the 'F word' like this and this for under two bucks. Mopar? Eight bucks. I know it's...
