Ok guys, the wiring harness in my 68 is shot. I bought an American auto wire harness. Can someone send or attach the original 68 Wiring diagrams? I want to go off those as much as possible. Also, what are you guys using for firewall connectors?

Yeah, the car was launched. It hooked and even with traction bars it wheel hopped. Broke teeth off the ring gear, and the cap that is pictured above. DoctorDiff, its looking like the 8 3/4 is going to stay. Can't convince my old man its time to upgrade. What do you recommend to keep this from...

So has anyone heard of replacing the crush washers in the nose with solid shims? Someone i know has a 700hp 440 running an 8 3/4. Per his word, if you replace the crush washer with solid shims, you can avoid the crush washer collapsing and causing the main caps failing. Has anyone seen/...

Well lets lay it all on the table. Run to the sun at myrtle beach is in a month. The center section hadn't been touched in at least 10 years other than fluid changes. Before that, never gone through. Even if the case for the center section has to be replaced and all the internals also, looking...

It's an original 8 3/4. Not my dart. But is there a way to keep what it has? It's not in the budget to swap to a dana.....

Needing a little help from that awesome mopar community. Went out last night to "Break-In" a new carb on a healthy 440-4 speed car with a 8 3/4 rear, and redefined the term break-in. Ended up chunking the rear end. From a quick visual, I found that the carrier main caps broke. (if thats...

thanks a bunch everyone! i think for now the car is just going to get towed to the new house. I feel like cutting corners now will only lead to more problems. with 45 years of NC humidity the fuse block, and major sections of the harness have noticeable corrosion. Ron Francis kit looks like it...

I understand where you are coming from. But i will do whatever is necessary to make the car safe and reliable. This was my first car, my daily for 4 years, and the one thing i can't give up on. HAHA. Plus it's a factory paint, 68 dart with very minimal rust. I bought it as a survivor when i was 13.

I am confident i could do a pre-made harness. However i don't feel comfortable with assembling my own harness. There is so much that i don't fully understand and i would rather have the engineering already done. Do you know what companies other than painless performance offer wiring for our Mopars?

I would do the restoration harness but i plan on a ton of add-ons in the future and a custom harness is the best solution. While i'm at it right?

So i am in the process of buying a house and haven't gotten to mess with the car much. So this weekend i decided to get a couple things done and maybe take it to a cruise. Long story short, as i was checking the lights, as i always do after the car sits, and i noticed the instrument lights...

The cost would be close to $400.

68 Dart Grill and Parking Lights. Asking 350 OBO shipped for all of it. will separate if needed. Grill is all there. Small dent on the lower piece. some of the little pieces are broken but all are still attached. Located in Charlotte NC PM if interested or with an offer.

Not in the best condition but i figure someone here may want them. 14 inch 5X4in. Chrome Cragar S/S Wheels. Came off my dart. Thought i'd make them into some garage art but i don't have the space. 150 Bucks plus shipping? From Charlotte NC. PM if you're interested.

This came out of a 68 Dodge Dart. It has a new motor installed and rewire done. Was going to finish restoring the unit and install in the car but i'm now going another direction. Looking to get like 250-300 for it. Pm me if you're interested. I also have a Slant Six compressor and brackets...
