If you do, please give us details of what you bought and how it works!!!

Yes this is an old thread, but the problem has just gotten worse, especially since the value of our cars has risen. Having spent a lot of time (months!) on the road in my 70 Dart GT in the last year, and plan to do so again this year. I have thought about this a lot. On the road I always stay...

Steve - so glad you found what you wanted!!!

Doc, As you go to stash all this stuff, especially stuff that you REALLY want dry, our local hardware store sells really heavy giant zip loc brand sealable bags. Big enough to fit an intake manifold in the bottom.

I looked through their offerings but nothing that would fit a dash that has the bezel bar between the dial window and the buttons:(

Love that radio Zach, what was the source and how spendy?

" unrestored all original"

Yes the original photo (post #1) linkage uses a spring from the kickdown slot to the bracket at front. I think that it functions (using that term loosely) as a kickdown return and throttle return. This means that the function of the slot in the kickdown is completely negated (keeps the...

Can't you guys have your (to most here) esoteric engineering battles some place else, perhaps an exchange of PMs. This really isn't helping the OP with his very straightforward request for advice. You have really hijacked the space.

Well, back to the OP's question. Both of the cars are primarily street driven, correct? If I were you I'd stick the 750 Eddie on the crate 360 and drive it for a while, see what it does for the type of driving that you do - you already have it, you might be surprised. Don't screw around with...

I would pay for an on line version

I just ordered one and it still says "one left" :lol:

Back in the day when we wanted to put on larger diameter tail pipes, we would slide the new diameter pipe over the stock tip and mark the "swell" where the pipe hit, cut off the end of the tip and weld it to the pipe, or to a slightly larger piece of pipe that would accept the new tailpipe.

1970 Dart Swinger 340 - one year only piece nobody repops then anymore.

Mopar Action has always been head and shoulders above the other Mopar magazines - better and more dependable tech columns and articles. Again, I really hope that these guys resurface somewhere or we have all lost a significant source of accurate information.

I love that last picture, and remember that phase where we all painted the underside of the car white including wheel wells and rear end housings. It was the thing for a while and for the cost of a box of white enamel paint spray cans, you could be cool too!!!

I used to complain that Weiand 340/360 manifolds had ports that looked like small port 318 sized, but at least all the meat was there to gasket match them to the heads perfectly. With **** like that speedmaster above, how would you even be sure that they would seal?

wish they would take all the back tech material and reorganize it into books

Measure the valves. The 318 heads that I bought from them several years ago came with 1.88 intake valves (usually 360 valves) for not much more money than stock valves - yours might have 'em!

Damned... This was the last really good Mopar Magazine - good information, great tech. I wonder where those guys will go. I hope we don't just lose their collective knowledge...

Fenders would bolt on and you can even use 72 fender extensions and grille - just the markers are different. You can get a patch welded in the recess for 70-1 markers and the 72 markers holes are easy to reproduce. 70-1 markers are better looking IMHO - depends on if you want it as the factory...

Love those nicely done custom hood call outs!

Some details on the tank, please... what years?

In 1988 I bought a 1970 Dart Swinger from an old lady. The cars weren't worth much in those days and the plan was to drive it until it needed major work and then use it as a parts car for my other 70 Dart (which had a lot of sentimental value). One thing led to another and here is the Parts...

1970 Dart Custom 2 door - 318/904/7 1/4. My Dad bought it new in 1970 and I bought it from him in 1975. This picture is from our wedding day 8/7/1976 (dig the wide lapels and bell bottoms). Same car today, 340/727/ 8 3/4. Still driven regularly by myself and the chick in the picture.

Is this the same as a Scamp deck lid? I can never keep them straight...

Cliff Gromer of Mopar Action with my Dart GT at the Mopar Nats. He took lots of photos and interviewed me for 20 minutes. We'll see if it ever shows up in the Magazine. He did pick it out of the show field as his pick for the Top 5 cars in attendance. It also took the top prize for A-Body...

IMHO - get rid of the bolts and use studs to reduce future issues

Back in the 1990s I hung around a body shop where everybody drove and raced Mopars. When the owners little brother turned 16 they built him a nice stock 68 Valiant 4 door with a 318. After a while the shy youngest brother admitted that he was taking a lot of flack at school because his older...
