Cuda Mike’s suggestion above to use white lithium grease on the mechanism side definitely did the trick if anyone is curious.

I know this is a super old post, but thank you for this. Was having no spark issues in my 72 Dart Custom 225ci. I was thinking I had a bad coil, but I found this thread and followed this instruction and found I only had 8.3v going to the coil. It ended up being caused by a bad ground at the...

Me too. It took me several years to find a 4-door in this color. I was beginning to think they didn’t exist. It’s pretty faded though, and I will be repainting it this summer. I already bought 5 quarts of GA4 urethane 2-stage. I’m taking it to a body shop in the next couple of weeks for prep and...

Thanks! These are the classic low back seats from JEGS. They are pretty comfortable (way more comfortable than my worn out bench seat) but I’m using the summit adjustable seat bracket mounts and I think the rear is too high, so I will be moving the rear bolts from the top hole (highest setting)...

Thanks, that’s a good idea about flipping it. Yeah I haven’t trimmed anything yet because the wrinkle is in the first 18” or so behind the firewall and I figure I only have one shot at getting that dimmer foot switch grommet hole cut in the right spot

That’s a good idea. I’ll see if I can borrow one this week and I’ll post an update.

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on the interior of my 72 Dart Custom 4-door and I’m having some issues with the carpet. I bought a replacement set of carpets from classic industries and they shipped folded in half.. Instructions said to leave out in the sun for several hours (which I did on two...

I think the 75-78 Fury 4-door 440 is one of the coolest cop cars ever. Same weight and nearly the same HP as my Hemi Challenger

$300 for a cable and a few plated brackets is pretty spicy ️ Just saw that several Jeep CJ guys are using a $20 universal 904 kickdown cable from Amazon with this same carb/ trans setup.. Probably just a Chinese copy of the Lokar cable, but at least I won’t feel bad throwing that in the bin...

Awesome thank you! Do you have the part number?

Welcome from SoCal! Love that color.. and the valiant front end looks unique and pretty cool IMO

Thanks! Yeah, the kickdown bracket I have is not going to work.. I was hoping to see some photos here from those who have done this mod. I have a pertronix solid state ignition, and everything (cap, rotor, wires, plugs) was just replaced this weekend, but I will consider that upgrade for the...

Y Thanks Zach, yeah I checked/ adjusted valve lash on all 6 cylinders on Saturday when I replaced the valve cover gasket. It should be spot-on now. I haven't driven the car yet with the new intake, but it already revs much stronger and smoother through the RPM range. Right now its missing quite...

Ok thanks for clarifying that. I'll focus on making sure to replace everything that's cracked or damaged first before I consider ripping anything else out..

Car is running again and idling smoothly with the new carb.. hopefully will have time to do a tune and finish the kickdown linkage here in the next couple of weeks.. lots of rain here in San Diego recently

Thanks for the reply.. wouldn’t it be possible (simpler) to just get one of those 3-way anti vapor fuel filters and connect that return feed to the tank return? Smog pump was already removed, and it’s still a mess of dry rotted vacuum lines in here..

Here are the plugs that came out of it if anyone is curious

Hey Everyone, I’m just getting started with a 2 barrel setup on my 225 Dart 4-door Auto sedan. I did a compression test yesterday before installing the super six manifold and have 125psi exactly on all 6 cylinders. The car has been here in Southern Ca its whole life with about 42k miles. Bores...

Thanks kendog, I’ll definitely try that!

Thanks for the responses guys, I guess it wouldn't hurt to do both! I'll check back in here once I've finished

Hey Everyone, I have a 1972 Dart Custom Sedan with all of the the factory original locks and keys. Everything is working, but almost every exterior door button gets stuck in the 'in' position from time to time. I searched for thread on this but didn't see a fix.. I would prefer not to remove...

PM sent

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and for all of the suggestions. Will probably start with BrianT’s advice and just get all of the car’s systems serviced and functional. It seems to run and drive fine for now, but I will probably eventually look into a carb upgrade, and possibly a front disc...

Hi Everyone, I just picked up a car I have wanted for a long time, a 1972 Dart Custom 4 door. Planning to build a clean cruiser for car shows and the beach. My daily driver is an ‘09 Hemi Challenger with a TR6060 manual transmission, so I’m not looking to build anything too wild. Starting with...

I have a ‘72 slant six.. I’ve been looking at wheel vintiques OE style or American racing outlaw II in black, both come in 5x4”
