Well its been 19 years since I started bringing my Dart to the Woodward Dream Cruise. 2003 was the year I finished its restoration and every year since I've taken this week off to do some Crusin. The cruise has definitely changed over the years as I have and is still fun. The last 14 years I...
Like the title says I can't start the car under the hood using a jumper wire at the starter relay. Over the years I've been able to do this with no problems, but have probably not done it in a couple of years. I had my engine out this winter and was trying to get it started at the relay but...

Are all shock plates the same for A,B,C, body vehicles with 8.25 or 8.75 rear ends. I picked up a 8.25 for my wagon and need to buy some new plates and everyone states they are for all vehicles. Thanks for the help. Jayson
Ok I'm wondering who has 1974 A-body disc brakes on a 1965 Valiant with steel wheels. I'm wondering what size steel wheel clears the front fender after putting on disc brakes from a 1974 A-body. Thanks Jayson
When I first bought my wagon I just figured that someone tried to make it a two tone car and be creative. Today I decoded the fender tag and it came up as a two tone car under the paint code. Something else I've wondered about is that the grill is blacked out in the center just like the black...
I'm in the process of converting my 65 Valiant steering column to a 66 Valiant steering column that will shift a automatic 904 trans. I have all of the parts and I have a general idea of what I need to do, but pictures or diagrams would also help. Can anyone help me out here I would appreciate...

I'm thinking about buying a 8 3/4 out of a 1968 Fury. The car is up in the air and when I rotated the wheel the drivshaft didn't move. The opposite wheel turned but thats it. Any ideas what's broken inside that would cause that? I can get the rearend for $90.00 and would plan on cutting it...
Ok my 1965 Valiant wagon did not come with windshield washers. On my 1964 Dart the washer button is a little black button in the center of the wiper switch. I noticed that the wagon wiper switch has a little travel when I push it in and out would that be the button for washer fluid if I had...
Ok so I took some time off work to go and see the Mopar Nationals for the first time ever. I want to stay about 30 to 40 min away from Coloumbus. Does anyone have an idea of a nice area to stay in? Who else here is going and what kind of advice would you give about seeing the show. I'm not...
I have the chance to buy a 1965 Valiant Convertible Signet parts car. A guy in my neighborhood has had this car in the back yard for 16 years. It was hit in the front and the car is pretty rusty. I'm possible going to buy it to get some parts for me but wanted to know if anyone is looking for...
I was wondering who makes the best reproduction gas tanks for the early a-bodies and are they the same for for all early A's including station wagons? Thanks Jayson
I've been on the look out for a parts car with disc brake set up from a 1973 or newer A-body. I curious could you get front drum brakes on a 1973 or newer A-body and if so are the upper control arms with the larger ball joint like the disc brake upper arms. Jayson
I purchased this wagon this week and it didn't have the headliner. I found two pieces of trim that go behind the passenger door. It looks like there is some trim in the rear corners where the window rows up. Could someone please post interior pictures please. Jayson
I would like some opinions on which tire you think would look best on my Dart. I already have Mickey Thompson SR radials up front 26"by 6". I've been running M/T ET streets bias 28"by12.5 in the back with no issues and had a set of BFG 325/50/15 drag radials that hit when I have my family in the...
I posted these videos on the racer forum, but thought I would share with the early-a-group. This was from mopar day 9-5 at Milan Dragway. Jayson

Well my wife Nicole saw a 1966 Mauve Dart convertible with a black top and it really got her interested. She likes old cars but that Dart really wowed her she says. So now we are on the hunt for a 65 or 66 Dart Convertible GT. I know the Mauve color didn't appear until 1966 but I think it...
I have a 1964 slant that is running low on oil pressure and a new one cost 75.00 . The local pull yard has several slants of different years was thinking about pulling one. Would any year work? Has anyone ever changed a failing oil pump and noticed what was wrong with the pump? Thanks Jayson
