    Antenna Plug Part #

    Could have swore I had a post going about this but can’t find it. I ordered part #4222731 kind of on the fly and it is too small. Does anyone know of a plug that will fit a 1.25” opening? Pics attached.

    Painting defect cause?

    This is the 2nd time I’ve attempted painting interior parts, first one was the steering column, and the same thing happens. I believe it’s fish eyeing but don’t know for sure. It’s done it with 3 different spray paint types on 3 different parts. I sanded all the parts down, wiped them well with...

    Battery to trunk-would this work?

    I want to put the battery in the trunk and want a disconnect in cab for security purposes. I am not worried about NHRA guideline but…. if I went this route could I just add a master disconnect to the line side of the Ford relay to be within NHRA guidelines down the road?

    Fiberglass hood struts?

    Was reading it’s not a good idea to use the stock hood springs as they can potentially crack the fiberglass. What all are you guys using? I have been using my old lacrosse stick for too long. Was looking at something like these: Two USA-Made Hood Lift Supports (Shocks/Struts/Arm Props/Gas...

    Gen 3 Hemi list input needed

    Good morning fellas, I have been researching more and more on the Gen 3 Hemi swap and trying to get an accurate idea of what I’m up against.

    Feel like 360 should have more power

    Good morning all, so I purchased a 69 Dart with 360 LA, 727, 8 3/4” with 4.10s. And I feel like the thing is a pig. When I first got the car I was strapped for time and I just wanted it running well so took it to a local “classic car”shop and they replaced a few plug wires that were burned, set...

    I have an automatic 69 Dart with a floor mounted shifter with an offset mounting plate. Pic is attached. Does anyone happen to have the same setup and know what carpet to order?

    Planning on getting the 440 in the car this winter and have read I shouldn’t break in the hyd. Flat tappet with a set of new ceramic coated headers (Schumacher) installed. I have some manifolds I could bolt on but sound like a pain to break in with manifolds then remove and bolt on the...

    How to attach this seat-need some ideas

    Need to attach this back rest to the car somehow. It has a decently thick backing behind the upholstery. My first thought was drive a few shallow screws from the trunk, through the metal bracing, into the back of the seat, but even making them as short as possible would have me a bit worried. It...

    727 grinding at idle

    Hey all, feel kind of dumb posting this with no real data to give you, but figure it’s worth a shot. TCI 727, not sure on mileage, drivetrain is borderline “tired”, brand new Hughes torque converter, made this grinding with the old TC too though. Makes a grinding noise sitting at idle in all 3...

    Why Carb and non OD a Gen 3?

    I have always been curious about doing a gen 3 swap but I feel majority I see ditch the factory injection for a carb or throttle body and slap in a 727? Isn’t the whole point of swapping to a newer gen setup to have easier to tune fuel injection and an overdrive transmission?

    Any tips for getting hood springs back on?

    Bought my 69 dart with the hood springs disengaged. Managed to get my hand in there but definitely not winding the spring up enough to get back on the pin. Starting to look like I may have to take the door off….any tips?

    69 Dart lock supposed to open when door shuts?

    I can push the inside lock down with the door open, close the door, and it doesn’t lock….the inside lock pushes back up about 1/2 way. Can only lock if door is shut, from the inside or from the outside with the key. Both doors are like this. Is this how they are supposed to be?

    Won’t shift after new torque converter

    Hey all, I have a 69 Dart with a 360la/727. I changed the flex plate to a B&M balancer one as the last owner had the incorrect plate in and a new Hughes converter. Now the car won’t shift out of 2nd. It shifted a few times at about 3k but now if I even if I manually shift it won’t go into 3rd...

    Is this a 360LA flex plate?

    There are no numbers stamped anywhere on it. Pulled it off as suspect for an imbalance vibration I’ve been experiencing. Torque converter had no weights on it either. Have a new B&M plate for external balance 360LA and Hughes 24-25 going in.

    Trying to pull the TCI 727 off my 360 LA in a 69 Dart. Cannot get the top 4 bell housing bolts. About $75 in long wrenches and still won’t go. One of the bolts will not take a 9/16” either a 14mm fits better, weird. Any tips or tricks? I have no clue how I’m going to get these back in IF I ever...

    Hey guys, Yet another one for ya. I pulled my slant6/904 to paint the bay and reinstalled it. Hooked everything up exactly how it was when it was running fine. I have to give the car about 1/2 throttle to get it to move from a stop (not much play in cable either) and it doesn’t want to shift...

    Still pulling to left after alignment

    Just had an alignment done mainly due to the car pulling hard to the left, as in I let go of the wheel and the car will make a 90 degree left turn. Got the call from the shop saying it was aligned but pulling to the left still, yay. They said it could be because one of the tires is further in...
