By the way... the fact that your engine is still red ( I know it looks orange to me too but it is red) suggests that it may not have ever been rebuilt (good thing)

Some of this may or may not be accurate, but looks good to what I see. ALSO it is VERY likely that you will find the build sheets in the car. Somewhere along the line my dad found 2 perfect condition in his /my Dart, not sure where. Some locations to look are under the front seats in the springs, on top of the cardboard glove box insert.
Would live to hear the history of your Dart.
This is from another decoder:
(Mopar Fender Tag Decoder)
again not everything may be correct like the "A78 = Formula S Package" I think is a Barracuda only thing
Ok i'm done geeking out on your car, now to fixing it!
