    Parking windshield wipers

    Check and see if the motor is reversing when turned to off. The motor should reverse to park the wipers. If it is not reversing, check the ground wire from the motor to the which, (red or yellow, not sure which one) to the wiper switch. To reverse the motor, the switch provides a ground to...

    Help... got a few questions on the '65

    I got a cancel cam from NAPA for my 63 Dart that worked just fine. It was the one that didn't have the wires attached to it, just the plastic. Might be the same for a 65.

    early A windshields - all the same???

    From what I understand, if you ever need to replace the back glass it is 63 only. The 64s have a different back glass as do the 65s on up from the 63s. So good to know the front glass is the same on the different years.

    no brake lights?

    Check your fuses as the brake lights are off of a constant hot feed and the turn signals are fed from a switched feed. Also might try pressing the brake pedal with the key off and wiggling the turn signal lever to see if either brake light comes on which could indicate the problem is in the...

    Car sounds good on the air. How lucky are you that a local news team documented your car's condition for that extended warranty!

    Giving up before I start

    I don't know what your age is but have you tried taking vitamin A to help with your night vision? If this is a physical problem that cannot be reversed, that sucks. If it is just a matter of not seeing well at night, vitamin A helps with the production of visible purple which helps you see at...

    Remove dash

    Besides the two on each end underneath, there are 5 bolts that hold it near the windshield. One is centered on the radio grill, one centered on the glove box door, one above the turn signal indicators, and one near each corner. I have a 64 dash sitting here so I could see the bolt holes.8)...

    63-64 Dash pad

    Good luck finding one. I've been looking too. There is a dash for sale on Ebay that includes a dash pad, it's red. It has cracks but would give you a base to start with. The place that is selling it is in Portland, OR.

    New speaker for old radio?

    My 63 radio diagram shows it is setup for a 4 ohm speaker which is what most new car speakers are rated at. So if you want to go to Autozone and buy one speaker to replace it, you should be okay.

    Where to start on my 63 Dart?

    Hey Harrison glad to hear you got the car home. I've been working on your care package. So far I have the trunk letters, two trunk panel extensions in case you need them, a hood emblem without the insert, a shifter lever with the chrome knob, an ignition switch and some shifter buttons for...

    :Back-up lights

    I went out and checked mine. They go off with the key. Don't know if it is because it is an automatic or not but the wiring is basically the same. Could be something they changed in 65 from 63 but like I said, the diagrams show them wired the same way.

    :Back-up lights

    If you look at the wiring diagram, the pink wire is the hot feed to the wiper switch and marked with a "B" on the switch terminal. The backup switch terminal also has a "B" terminal marking. This hot feed comes from the ignition switch black wire on the ACC terminal and is hot in both run and...

    :Back-up lights

    I can tell you that the hot feed for the backup lights comes from the wiper switch. The wires for the backup switch are white and purple with white being the hot feed and the purple being switched. Since you have a 4 speed, the wires will run through the firewall to the tranny. You may wish...

    63 Dart wiper length

    According to the shop manual, the blade pattern should overlap. Maybe my wiper arm is just down too far to start and needs to be raised a little to make it overlap. Doesn't say much about where it should be in the manual, just near the moulding at the bottom.

    63 Dart wiper length

    Does anyone know the proper length of the wiper blades for a 63 Dart? Mine seem too short and do not overlap on wiping. I looked at the blades and they do not come off the wiper arms to change them to longer ones. Currently the driver's side is 13 1/4" and the passenger side is 13 1/8". If...

    Where to start on my 63 Dart?

    The VIN is located inside the driver's door pillar between the two hinges. It is glued and not riveted on. The two holes you might see were just to align it when gluing. The VIN will be something like 7137131234 depending on what model you have. There should also be a fender tag under the...

    V8 in a 63 Dart GT ??

    Do you have any pictures of your modified firewall? I assume the wiper motor can be put back in after the work and you still have functional wipers.

    V8 in a 63 Dart GT ??

    If I remember right, I think the 66 on up are 3 inches wider in the engine bay. The early A's make for a challenge on clearing exhaust and steering. I keep mulling the idea over but for now I will keep my /6 as it runs fine now. There a lot of members that have stuffed big engines in there so...

    Where to start on my 63 Dart?

    First welcome to FABO. I have a 63 170 four door. Bought it last fall and have slowly been getting parts for it to work on when it gets warmer. It runs just fine and looks good but I added things like reverse lights and trim panel and have fixed my pushbutton shifter which I didn't know was...

    Another 1964 Dart

    I found a site that has the paint chips for this year. Maybe it can help tell what color it was suppose to be. http://www.tcpglobal.com/aclchip.aspx?image=1964-dodge-pg01.jpg

    64 Viper Dart??

    I have a question on this type of swap. If you use an engine that requires pollution controls (cats and air pumps) can you put it an older style car and not worry about the pollution controls? Would the engine run without all the pollution control inputs hooked up? Just a thought.

    1963-1966 Dodge Dart Buyer’s Guide for Restoration

    Well I got a super six intake and 2bbl carb with the car along with the kickdown lever if its correct. Need to get the gas pedal and cable to do the swap. If anyone has a good picture of this setup, it may help me figure out what I need to do. The 2bbl may give it enough pep for me, don't...

    1963-1966 Dodge Dart Buyer’s Guide for Restoration

    So as "unpopular" as the 63's are, should one keep the cars as stock as possible or go ahead and customize them? I am debating swapping out the /6 and auto but I don't know if it would be a good idea for the value of the car. I am not looking for crazy power or high speeds but just something...

    Who has 63 darts

    Well I am looking for a backup light switch if this car has the reverse lights. It should be on the back of pushbuttons, plus the wiring from the switch to the trunk. I have the trunk wiring. If that's too much work, I'd settle for the switch. Also the dash trim if it has the part over the...
