    Time to play "Which Color Windlace is it?"

    I ordered a sample of door seal for my Pearl White/Gold interior 1965 Dart in the color I thought it was and it's wrong. Good thing I just didn't order. Colored one's can't be returned apparently. Has anyone done the windlace in this color combo? Which is the right one?

    So is the electronic ignition box supposed to shock you?

    So I was driving to the local Friday car meet at the burger place and i was sitting at a light a couple minutes. Car was fully warmed up, ran great for 10 miles or so then just quit. It didn’t stall. It didn’t sputter. It just was running great then not running. I crank it once. Nothing. Crank...

    Well that escalated quickly.

    I was just going to put in new seat covers and carpet.

    1965 Dodge Dart stock differential advice

    Just throwing this out there. After considering replacing the stock whiny 7.25 open diff in my mostly original 273 Power Pack, 4-speed 65 Dart with an 8.25, I decided that given how much I'd be spending to put in an 8.25 and things I have to change, I'd rather put a period correct diff in it...

    74 duster 8.25 swap into 65 Dart 7.25?

    So here’s the deal. I was hoping to get an abody 8.75 made out of unobtainium but someone has offered me a free 8.25 diff out of a 74 318 Duster to replace the whiny 7.25 in my 65 273 HiPo 4 Speed car. I think this Diff would be more than adequate. The info he has says the spring perches are the...

    Which shifter knob is correct for 1965 Dart 4-sp Hurst?

    I’ve seen both plain black and white knobs on 65 A833 cars. At first I thought if it had the chrome floor bezel with the shift pattern it got the plain black until I saw an advertisement or service document somewhere with the bezel and white knob with the shift pattern. Did the colors change...

    Making a model of my 1965 Dart.

    I picked up a 1965 Dodge Dart resin kit and am going to make a clone of my car. I expect it to take like a year to build since I have limited time to work on it and it requires extensive kit bashing. I thought I’d put up a thread to document my progress as I put this kit together. Here’s the...

    Probably the most expensive 1965 Dart ever.

    When a 65 /6 4-dr is worth more than a Dart Charger. Sorry Ulf. ;-) NIRVANA: KURT COBAIN PERSONALLY OWNED 1965 DODGE DART - WITH NFT •

    [WANTED] Driver's side fresh air vent for 1965 Dart

    Thought I'd see if anyone has one of these in decent shape they'd be willing to part with before I try to repair this one with a broken hinge.

    Options to repair or replace driver's side fresh air vent door.

    The driver's side fresh air vent door hinge is broken on my 1965 Dart. Looks like the bottom hinge rusted shut and it broke the hinge bracket off at the bottom when someone tried to force it open. The vent box itself is in pretty good shape. I could reuse the duct if I punch out the rivets and...

    1965 Dart front disc brake conversion low brake pedal

    So I had a shop install the Dr Diff front disc brake kit. I had a cast iron disc/drum brake master cylinder laying around that I bought in error when I replaced the single pot master cylinder a couple years ago so I had them install that. Also installed the correct proportioning valve...

    '65 Dart No brake lights. Brake light switch failure?

    So I took the Dart to a shop to have a Dr Diff front disc brake kit put on. I get it home and no brake lights. All other lights work, just no brake lights. Brake lights fine before it went to shop. Checked the brake light switch and it's as hot as a pistol and the plunger is not quite making...

    1965 Dart upper control arm question

    I need to pick the a body hive mind. So I am having a local shop install the Dr Diff front disc brake conversion kit replacing the 10” front drums on my 65 Dart hi-po. When we got everything apart it is pretty clear the car needs new upper control arm bushings and the upper ball joints are...

    1965 273 4-bbl intake. What is this connector for?

    I cannot figure out what this two prong connector is for. Nothing is connected to it right now. It is on an original 4-bbl intake manifold in the back on the driver’s side. This is in a 65 Dart hi-po 4-speed, manual steering no AC car with an aftermarket 4 bbl.

    Which spacer for 1965 273

    I’m putting on a carb spacer on a 1965 hi-po 4bbl 273 with the stock intake manifold and a 1403 Edelbrock. Which spacer should I use for this application? I’m thinking this one? Edelbrock 8725 Edelbrock Carburetor Spacers | Summit Racing

    65 Dart 273 hi-po. Are these 9 or 10 inch drums?

    The outside is 11 so I’m guessing 10s.

    Proportioning valve or no for 65 Dart disc/drum brake conversion.

    Finally getting around to converting to front disc on my 273 hipo 4-speed 65. Car currently has 10” drums and 14” rallyes. I was thinking about going Pirate Jack for manual disc brakes. I have already converted to dual master and have the new disc brake compatible master. I’m guessing I don’t...

    New carb for 1965 273 4-bbl hi-po package

    I’m noodling replacing the Edelbrock 1405 that the previous owner put on my mostly stock 1965 Dart 273 hi-po option with the original intake. I prefer drivability over performance and keeping it looking mostly stock and I’m thinking an auto choke 500cfm carb would be a good fit for this motor...

    273 stock coil location hitting vacuum advance

    I have a Hi-Po 273 in a 65 Dart GT. The previous owner put in an orange EI brain box and electronic distributor. When I got the car the coil was mounted funny because it was interfering with the distributor vacuum advance. When I went to time it, it was at 8 degrees but I couldn’t advance more...

    [WANTED] 1965 Dart Trunk lid emblem.

    I finally got around to washing the Dart and I must have cleaned off the dirt and rust holding on half of the first D in the “Dodge” trunk lid emblem. The left pin was sheared off apparently so it hangs there drunkenly by one pin and makes me sad. Looking for a replacement “D” with intact pins...

    1965 Dart Alternator ground

    So I’m putting the 65 Dart back together after installing a new water pump but got to looking at the current alternator hookups and the ground doesn’t look right to me. The ground on this alt was gludged with a goofy bent two pronged connector to one of the alternator bracket bolts. It charged...

    1965 273 waterpump fittings?

    So I’m replacing the waterpump on the 273 65 Dart and am looking for new bypass and heater core hose fittings because the originals already look like they’ve been replaced many times and are heavily corroded. I searched the site for suggestions and found some leads but the threads are old. I...

    What the heck is this spring?

    I was tracking down why my 273 4-speed 65 Dart was making a pinging noise while turning left and I found it. I can feel it through the clutch when depressed and turning. The steering gear is hitting a wire this spring is attached to. It’s right under the starter. Clutch return spring? If so why...

    RTE Voltage Limiter install for 65 Dart

    I'm an electrical system novice and am installing the RTE IVR3 Voltage limiter on my 65 Dart. I read through all the RTE documentation I could find and am disabling the internal limiter in the fuel gauge but I'm not quite sure how to hook up the wiring to the CB. One article on RTE said to wire...

    LED replacement bulbs for 1965 Dart cluster

    I read through some threads but I’m hoping for clarity. Can I replace stock bulbs with LEDs with no modifications? Do I need a limiter for instrument lights? If so can they be used for all the lights? Turn signal indicators, oil pressure, high beam indicator? Should I? I think I remember that...

    Where’d you put an A/M tach on an early A-body?

    Mounting a aftermarket tach on a ‘65 Dart with a 4-speed. Thinking column in front of the non used cig lighter but I’d like to see other solutions. If column, I’d like to see other suggestions to mount on column slicker than C-clamp without drilling holes.

    [Found!] 65 Dart GT Rear Q “DART” emblem

    [WANTED] 1965 Dart A-pillar interior molding (gold)

    I can find replacements in repro black I can paint but I’d rather get an original one in gold. I’m going to put this out there if anyone has one laying around. Doesn’t need to be perfect but it needs to be complete and not broken like mine. oh yeah...driver’s side.
