All of my cars are projects, and being laid off here rescently has put a kink in the fuel lines if you know what I mean...., but I have a few pics, mainly of the Duster I just got, and the 74 dart sport. However after discussing it all over with the wife, Im going to be dumping all but the Duster here in the near future. Most are "field cars" at the moment. The dart sport has alot of stuff im gonna loot up for my Duster including the SPOOL type K member, 8 1/4 rear end, and a disk brake setup for the front. And the 330 im gonna sell also, its in need of a complete restore, but is a driveable car(on a good day LOL)where should I post pics of the cars here?

Yes here first then you can set up a photo Gallery in the top of the page. I hope I am not rude asking8) But does the 1986 Diplomat cop car have an auto truck lock on it with a push button opener? When you start to sell parts keep me in mind. :cheers:

 

[TwistedWrenches]

I got the diplomat from my brother, and im not sure to be honest, he lit the damn thing on fire (swore it was sabotage) and its been parked with all the others since. where would the push button be located? and whats with the "AUTO LOCKING TRUNK"? is that like the old caddy's where it grabs it and sucks it down on its own?

 

[CudaChick1968]

Twisted, it's terrific to have you here with us! Welcome aboard to the absolute finest Mopar site there is.

 

[66340SEDAN]

Welcome to the site! :cheers:

 

[TwistedWrenches]

Heres the 74 Dart Sport, it has alot of rust, im not a body guy, so after I take everything I want from the drivetrain, and Kmember, its going down the road to a new owner.

Most likely in the clove box is where the button is, All I need is the latch in the trunk, It will be at the bottom and one black wire going to it. It lets you open the trunk from inside. All I need is the latch, held in place with two or three 1/2 " bolts. To test it just take it off and go to a good battery and ground it in the Neg and touch the black wire to the pos+ it will open then close when you remove it from the battery :happy10:
