    A sad goodbye

    Well it looks like I might have the Dart sold to the previous owner so I will not be on the site much more in the near future. I wish to thank all who have provided help and guidance. I would especially like to thank those who provided parts at no cost in the spirit of this forum. I have done...

    Boy is the economy sucking bad!!

    Came to realize today that I am just not making enough money to keep doing the car thing and stay in my house at the same time. So I am asking what you think my 1963 Dodge Dart 170 4 door with a slant 6 904 may be worth to sell. You can see pictures of it in my gallery. Electric company came...

    4 door hinges

    Are the front door hinges the same between a 2 door and a 4 door? I need to replace one of my hinges and not sure if they interchange between the two body types. I would assume so but want to make sure. Also while I'm asking, the hinge with the little wheel goes on top or the bottom? Mine is...

    63 and 64 Dart headliner differences

    Anyone know if there is a big difference between the 2 years for the headliner? I have seen 63 headliners priced at least $50 more than 64's and wonder if it is due to a smaller headliner in the 64's. I have 6 headliner bows on the roof, do the 64's have the same number? I know the 64 back...

    fuel sender unit 5/16 or 3/8?

    Is there really a difference between the two and how do I know which one I have? Seems my gas gauge likes to die after going down to 1/8 tank but works above it so I assume the sender is going bad. Does 1/16" really make a difference if a rubber tube is used to connect the fuel line? If I...

    63 dart visors

    I finally found some visors for the dart but the passenger side one is real stiff and creaks badly when you move it up and down. Is there a way to remove the metal rod from the visor and lubricate the rod and put it back in? Not sure how these go together and don't want to pull the rod out if...

    63 variable speed wipers

    I need to know if the wiper motor turns clockwise or counterclockwise in normal operation when viewed under the dash. My parking cam seems backward where the wiping pattern is larger when it parks rather than when it is wiping normally. May just have the parking cam in backward but it came...

    Voltage limiter for early A dashes

    I assume there is no replacement for the early A's voltage limiters that are built into the gas gauge, so I am attempting to build my own. I have made power supplies for electronics before and this is a simple 5vdc supply to the gas and temp gauges. I plan on using 2 voltage regulators, one to...

    Just a mental exercise

    I am working on a console design for my car. It will have a cup holder area, a place for 3 gauges, and hide an aftermarket radio. Now to over engineer this concept, I would like to operate this electrically to raise and lower the part that contains the radio. This way I can enjoy the radio...

    Dash replacement bulbs

    I know someone on here has used other bulbs for the dash lights other than the stock #57 bulbs. Has anyone had success with using LED replacements for the dash lights? If not, what number bulbs did you find to be brighter than the stock #57 bulbs?

    Rear door lock rod linkage needed

    I went to change my lock knobs and discovered the right rear door lock rod is gone and someone rigged a cable in place of the linkage. The knob was barbed onto the cable and would not come off without breaking the cable. So I am looking for the rods and bellcrank that go from the lock knob to...

    How to fabricate panels

    I need to remake my package tray board and the pieces that go between the seat and the back edge of the rear doors. These are two layers so the panel clips can slide between them to secure them to the body. What backing material would I use to make these? The package tray is one layer and...

    rear glass removal

    While working on my headliner I decided I needed to remove my back glass. I removed the locking strip and loosened the gasket around the frame. When I went to remove the glass I realized I needed another person to push the gasket away from the glass while I pushed from the inside. Well I was...

    Reinstalling cloth headliner

    My headliner is all wrinkled and whoever put it in did a very poor job. I am trying to reinstall it to make it look better. It was not hooked over either the front or rear window and just tucked under the gaskets. I have removed the back window to start tucking it on the little teeth to hold...

    Factory Radio Installed

    I found a real decent bezel on Ebay and I installed a working factory AM radio yesterday. Looks much better than the aftermarket one that was in there but AM band leaves a lot to be desired. Plan on putting an aftermarket one back in once I get a console built for it.

    63 slant 6 timing and marks/kickdown

    I am trying to set my timing as the thing is a slug right now. I have a 0 degree mark on the timing but nothing else is marked. I have one line toward the top above 0 and 2 lines towards the bottom below the 0 mark. Anyone know what degrees the other lines would be? Also the book says 2 1/2...

    What do you expect out of a car show?

    I went to my "first" car show Friday night as just a driver and not the DJ running the show. I've been running shows for over 6 years now. It was at our local Sonic. Well the parking turned out to be across 5 lanes of traffic in the mall across from the Sonic with no protected parking area...

    VIN stamped on body

    I just got an e-mail from the Ohio State Highway Patrol that stated that the VIN is stamped on 63 Dodge cars in the secret hidden locations. Can anyone verify this? I was under the impression that the VIN was not stamped on the car bodies in 63. Just trying to avoid the issues another member...

    63/64 dart stone guard trim clips

    I got a beautiful set of stone guards from Waggin and it seems there is a place for a trim clip about midway up the guard that would pull the body side of the guard tight. It has a slotted opening which I assume is for some sort of clip to hold the guard to the body other than the 3 screws that...

    Good Guy Alert! Waggin strikes again

    I just gotta do this so here it goes. Waggin overwhelmingly went above and beyond the need when he and I traded some parts. He not only offered to clean them up before sending, but got the dings out and polished them too. Now they are totally awesome and are far better pieces than when we did...

    Reuse windshield weatherstrip?

    If I remove my windshield and the weatherstrip is in good shape, can I reuse it? It's the type with the locking strip. Just want to know what to plan on when I remove the windshield for some other repairs.

    Craigslist and Time Warner

    Anybody else having problems with Craigslist that has Roadrunner? It seems every weekend I can't get this website. Time Warner blames Craigslist for blocking the site from roadrunner. I can't see that when it seems to work fine all week long and then stops working every weekend. Doesn't make...

    63 904 kickdown linkage adjustment

    According to my manual, to set the kickdown linkage, disconnect the ball connector at the bellcrank on the top. I then loosen the slide on the linkage by the kickdown lever and push the lever all the way forward and tighten the slide back up. I then adjust the arm to the upper bellcrank ball...

    Spare tire hold down

    I pulled the trunk mat in my car and fixed some surface rust. While taking out the spare, I was missing the hold down nut and the little round plate. I happen to find these between the rear quarter and the trunk rail. Question is how do these mount to hold the tire? Does the jack base go on...
