    The mystery of the missing oil?

    Hello all. I've been enjoying my dart all winter until today, when I briefly got an oil warning light while stopping. It came on for maybe a second. I checked my oil after I got home and found it was gone! Just a smudge on the end, under the low end, black, and smelling of gas. No coolant or...

    Vibration from trans?

    Hey all, I have a vibration that sort of comes on and gets really bad at particular RPMs. It happens in neutral as well. Without a tach, I can't say quite what RPM, but it's easy to reproduce at 50MPH in 3rd gear. More gas makes it go away, less gas makes it go away. I believe my motor mounts...

The little cylinder, which is typically covered by the rotted rubber sleeve, is sliding in and out freely if I push or pull it. Fluid is dumping out from the joint of the black cable to the back our the cylinder as...

    Hey all, See photos below... I have the trim piece that's supposed to go in this section, but I believe the clips are missing or rusted off..... Unless it's supposed to push under them? I want to get it on there and looking good. Any advice?

    Blowby and compression test - 225

    Hey all, My slant 6 225 is running heaps better now that I've completed a proper valve lash. HOWEVER, it seems that there is still a bit of blowby and I'm smelling gas in the Oil. I haven't confirmed a fuel pump internal leak yet, thought it's possible. My Hobo Fright compression test...

    Valve Lash - Hot or cold?

    I've read many forums on lashing valves on here and almost all of them say to do it hot. I don't necessarily mind doing that, but many old hat mechanics seem to say you can set the lash cold. Is there any reason this wouldn't work? It seems like the suggestions I've heard for flat tappet cam...

    [FOR SALE] Trim Clips - Early A Body

    Hello - In case anyone else could possibly use it, I've designed and 3D printed my own trim clips for the "C" channel chrome trim that runs the length of the body. My old clips were dry, broken, and crappy. These new ones are extremely sturdy (even reusable) and slide right into the rails with...

    Holley 1920 accelerator pump issues

    Hey all!! This post is informational as I think it may help others in the future. I recently had an issue where my 64 dart 225 would bog really hard, have okay-ish idle, but rev all the way up after the initial bog. I tried all of the following to resolve to no avail - Rebuild carb, spray...

    Not charging

    Hello all - I recently got my 64 Dodge Dart with a nearly completely dead battery. I checked while running and the alternator was from 1983 and did not appear to be working. Voltage regulator was also very old. I swapped the alternator (tested good) and voltage regulator and still can't get it...
