    4-Door with 340 from the factory?

    15 or so years ago I put buckets, console, floor shift steering column, thermoquad and matching air cleaner, dual exhaust, chrome 340 tips and 340 fender emblems on my 75 Dart 4 door. You wouldn't believe how many people said "wow, what a rare car". I just said yep and walked away, LOL.

    Let's See Your Mopars.. again

    Thanks. That was 2 years ago at the height of not knowing about covid. The person is my elderly father who came with me to view the truck when it was for sale which involved meeting strangers.

    Let's See Your Mopars.. again

    Here are my current mopars. 50 Dodge fastback with 49 Plymouth nose "rat gasser", 440, fenderwell headers, full manual 727 with brake and Dana 60 on ladder bars. It should be together and racing, and hopefully driving on the street this year. I am hoping to run it in "miles of mayhem", the...

    left over parts

    Pretty sure that they screw to the underside of the lower edge of the dash and the wire looms fit in them.

    I test mine in a pot on the stove and use my infrared thermometer to watch the temp.

    Headlight Bezel ID Help

    The lower plastic part is nothing to do with the turn signals or grill. It is the bucket that goes around the inside door handle on a dart sport or duster. I am not sure what the upper part is though.

    Headlight Bezel ID Help

    73 through 76 dart sport had aluminum headlight bezels, yours are in this range. 73/74 are slightly different fro. 75/76. I will have to do some research to determine the difference.

    Used parts that are available new.

    72 and up side markers were still available new from Chrysler a few years ago. The same goes for clutch and brake pedal bushings.

    Need info on this block

    Appears to have some kind of composite pan gasket?

    Small block and 727 Install

    Agreed, I have never used a leveler, just one or two short pieces of chain attached to either the intake hold down bolts or the threaded bosses in the ends of the heads.

    Small block and 727 Install

    Unbolt the trans crossmember, drop the engine/transmission in as a unit at an angle. Put your floor jack under the trans pan with a block of wood, jack up the transmission to allow you to put the crossmember back in, line up the mounts and bolt it in. I have done many this way.

    1968 gts roller in rough shape

    I saw that add, too bad it is so far gone. Hey, welcome to the site, from another kelowna member!

    Another Fender Tag question

    Last year for a dart gt was, I believe '70. You have presumably a dart sport based on the year of your car. Dart gt was available only in a hardtop or convertible, never in the demon / sport platform. The online decoders are full of bad information.

    mopar street rodders?

    FYI, the rusty hope bracket uses a volare rotor and Camaro caliper. They are cheap on rockauto.

    mopar street rodders?

    The rusty hope brackets are decent. I didnt use his bearing spacers as they were quite loose on my 55s spindles. I had some turned up that I thermal fit on. Here is a pic of his brackets installed. I use the stock 55 front suspension, it is probably very similar to your cranbrook and while...

    NOS 1969 Barracuda parts, Craigslist score

    Nope, all gone, sorry.

    Couldn't NOT buy it...

    Excellent deal! You definitely need a sb or bb swap. I put a 440 in my 55. I don’t know if the 53 is similar underneath, I suspect that it is. Rustyhope sells disc brake conversions that use a volare rotor and gm metric caliper, a Ford Explorer 8.8 is the right width ( both of these are in...

    '69 Dart "M" code For Sale on Facebook......NOT MINE...

    Hey, thanks. Yeah, it is alright here, pretty good car scene. The valley gets a little grey and dreary in the winter though.

    '69 Dart "M" code For Sale on Facebook......NOT MINE...

    Zinc Rich Oil for Flat Tappet Cams

    I use shell rotella t 15w40 with a zinc additive. It is affordable, I switched to it 15 years ago after wiping out a 509 cam with synthetic and no additive. I have had no issues in many different flat tappet hydraulic engines, big and small block with cams up to 580 lift with proper valve springs.

    74 & 75 Dodge Dart "Hang Ten" Special Edition Cars

    That under dash unit looks like a factory one, the AC cars had extra ducting like that. I dont believe that is a factory compressor though. That car also does not have the factory AC heater controls. Definitely a cobbled together aftermarket system.

    74 & 75 Dodge Dart "Hang Ten" Special Edition Cars

    Hang ten was the fold down seat, spinakker white, stripe package, buckets and console, dual sport mirrors, orange shag carpet and psychedelic striped interior with orange inserts on the console and dash. I am fairly certain that the package could only be had with an automatic, some cars had...

    74 & 75 Dodge Dart "Hang Ten" Special Edition Cars

    Pretty sure those are the repro decals on that one. The originals were more orange, the repros are much redder. The one I parted was in my wife's family since new, in rainy vancouver. It had been hit hard and repaired three times. I suspect that the body seams were all distorted and opened up...

    74 & 75 Dodge Dart "Hang Ten" Special Edition Cars

    Yep, i had one. It was a 74 E58 car - 360 HP. It too was rusty beyond belief. I parted it and used everything to convert my non rusty 75 dart sport from a 6 cyl bench seat car to 408, buckets etc. I have seen a few others over the years. They are kind of unique but IMO not terribly collectible.

    Is this Duster overpriced?

    Definitely need to see the car in person. I would also think that for that price it would have decent rear springs, it appears to have bogus aftermarket long shackles to compensate for tired worn out leaf springs.
