    mismatch between speedo and odometer

    I'm not sure if this is where this belongs, but here goes. I built a 70 Dart with a 318 and an A500 4 speed overdrive automatic (RH42). The speedometer was the best of 4 that I had as tested for me by someone who does dash gauge restoration. The speedo works fine - steady without fluctuation...

    finishing up my 70 Dart GT interior

    When we decided to paint our our long haul 1970 Dart GT cruiser plum crazy, that left us with a conundrum regarding interior color. The original green was sure out. In factory colors that left white (too hard to keep clean) and 2 more two tone factory colors (brown, blue) which wouln't go well...

    console assembly (as opposed to shifter assembly)

    I'm working on a 1970 Dart GT. I have a FSM and 2 assembly manuals. I can find loads of exploded drawings of the automatic console shifter (the actual shifter itself), but no drawings of how the console housing is assembled. Under the front top plate there are: a plate under the shifter...

    console door hinge questions

    I'm working on a 1970 Dart GT with a factory console. I shelled out way too much money for a set of new consle top plates including the console door. Now 2 years later I'm installing it and find that unlike the original doors, this thing has no provision for the push button lock/latch. On...

    source for wire link between halves of the seat track system

    I know I've seen these for sale. I am looking for the stiff wire thingamajig (that's a technical term) that link the right and left sides of the seat tracks, so that when you pull the lever on the outside of the seat, the track on the inside also releases. Part of the problem is not knowing...

    My NEW Legedary Seat covers installed

    So I wanted stock appearing seat covers for my 1970 Dart GT which has the high level interior. I had bought seat covers and door panels for my 1970 Dart Custom 2 door in the past from Legendary and they were great and have lasted well, but I had one problem - This car is going to be a looong...

    Seat slider lever question

    I've been working or rehabbing the seat sliders in an old 70 Dart with Bucket seats. In putting the sliders back together it seems that you pull the driver's side toward the back of the car to release, but on the passenger side you push the lever toward the front to release. I've never had a...

    Name those seat sliders!!!

    I have a complete set of seat sliders for (I believe) A-body bucket seats, but when I compared them to the ones in my 70 Dart GT, the mechanism is different. The 1970 style has two tracks but one track does not sit inside the other like nested "U" shapes like these have. If you know what they...

    restoring bucket seat sliders

    So I'm restoring the bucket seats in my 70 Dart GT. It's time to do the sliders. I'd like to be able to take them apart so I can blast all the rust away, paint the painted parts and reassemble and relube. It seems like there is no way to get them apart without drilling stuff out and then...

    cleaning the contact surface for the horn mechanism

    Between the horn pad or ring and the steering wheel there is a mechanism that is riveted together and sprung apart. When you hit the pad or ring it squeezes this all together on one side and the contact makes the horn blow. Is there a way to clean the two internal contact surfaces to make sure...

    what is this (steering column edition)

    So I'm reassembling the steering column for my 1970 Dart, which required parts so a couple weeks went past between taking it apart and putting it back together. I thought that I was done and then I was putting parts into a jar labelled Steering Column, when I saw this spring. I spent time...

    what bucket seat frames are the same as 1970 Dart buckets???

    I'm looking for some seat frames to go in my 1970 Dart with stock type foam and covers. Lots of ads claim that their seat frames are the same for A, B or E and for a span of years (1970-72?). Is all this true or are these one year, one model frames???

    I'm putting together a 1970 Dart 2 dr Hardtop. Time to put the sail panel boards in place. There is what appears to be a nail on each side in the metal structure of the car. I can feel behind and it is long, pointed and doesn't seem to have threads. The head doesn't have a phillips or slot...

    radio interchange question

    I have been looking at a modern radio to fit in my 1970 Dart dash with no alteration of the face plate. I have been considering one from Vintage Radios - KHE-300-USB 1970 Mopar. I called today to order one and the guy told me that it would not fit a 1970 Dart - That it would fit a 1970 B-body...

    position of dash defroster vents

    I'm putting together a dash for my 70 Dart, out of the car. I disassembled the dash a few months ago and stripped and painted the dash frame. Now it is time to reassemble! The pipe on the bottom of the dash defroster vents leans either in toward the firewall or out toward the dash. Which is...

    still looking for console information

    I have a couple A-body consoles that I picked up at a swap meet. I ended up with them out on the garage floor with the original console out of my 1970 Dart GT. These consoles are "cut off short" on the front end with a metal plate to cover the end. Both are exactly the same so I don't think...

    location of bucket seat reinforcements

    I'm working on a 1970 Dart GT. It has factory bucket seats. It has no reinforcements for the inside bolts for the seats. That seemed odd and they seem like a good idea so I bought the pieces pre-cut. It seems logical that the plates go under the floor (so the bolt doesn't pull through in a...

    console and Ralleye dash in Dart after 1970

    After an inquiry from a friend, I got curious... after 1970 did any darts feature a Rallye Dash with round gauges, or did they all have the standard dash with the square speedo? Is there a different console in Darts after 1970?
