Thanks to all for your input. My springs are XHD, not SS. I installed the 2 hole front hanger (as shown by Johnny Dart above) since I went from s6 to 360 engine, and I relocated to the upper hole. This gave me the rake I like and now I have also had the alignment done. The right side rear...

Great discussion here. All model companies had a large price increase a few years ago, so use your coupons. I have been building car model kits for over 50 years and have found poorly molded and poorly engineered kits from AMT, Revell, MPC, and Johan. Very disappointing to open a kit and see...

I installed XHD springs from Mancini in my 70 Dart and am disappointed that the car sits too high for my liking now. It is 1/2" higher on the right too. Will they relax a bit as I drive it? I don't want to buy new springs if I don't need to. So far only about 3 miles have been put on them...

Looking for the correct style "solid" press-on pulley for a Federal pump. The pulleys with "spokes" are offset too far forward to line up with the crank pulley. FSM shows this type of pulley for v8 application.

Lil Demon, I just read this thread as I am having the same issue with PS pump. 1970 FSM shows both types available, but diagram in manual only shows Federal and its hose routing for 6 and v8 engines. My car is a 70 Dart s6 to v8 conversion using Schumacher mounts, therefore it is a s6 K member...

For your viewing pleasure, I just completed this Hotchkis install for my 70 Dart. As you see it is still upside down on the work table. The instruction sheet was okay, but photos in it were dark and hard to tell detail, and the sway bar brackets are not the same shape as pictured. It is a...

I will stay with the 5/16" fuel line. A Hemi or dual quad big block may need a 3/8" line but probably not a 360. Would the existing vapor vent system work well enough to allow fuel to flow to the fuel pump and adjust for expansion in the fuel tank if I just cover the end of the vapor line...

Doing a restomod on a 70 dart, s6 to 360. Considering a 3/8 fuel line with no vapor return line. Also wondering if the stock tank, with its factory 4 hose vapor vent system, would work okay with an unvented factory style painted gas cap. I think it should be okay. Any advice out there?

Correct, I will be able to use the longer bolts with anti-seize.

Oh yeah, and they will all be properly torqued.

Engine block has no alignment pins. RTV sealant was used at front and rear. I tried threading in the longer bolt in a few of the holes and it went well with just a 3/8" wrench, no real binding, just felt as a normal snug fit. There appears to be about 3/4" depth of thread in the head and it...

My 360 was recently rebuilt by a local experienced and respected builder. It has not been installed into the '70 Dart yet. The intake manifold bolts I provided him are 1 1/8" long, not knowing if that is what I needed or not. The intake is a Performer RPM with Edelbrock heads and gaskets. I...

Just finished clearing my snowy driveway! 67Dart273 Please check your inbox for a conversation.......

I will be painting my 70 Dart. I removed the body rub strip that starts at the front and goes down the middle to the rear and it will not be replaced. I have welded closed all the holes down the body to the rear, but there is one in the headlight extension. This extension is made of some type...

Just my two cents- I am doing a 360 into a 70 dart, the usual carb/intake/mild cam/headers, 3.55 gears/auto. Use will be car show/cruise stuff. My thinking was as long as I have the entire car disassembled, I would replace the original s6 5/16 fuel line to a 3/8 line (more fuel volume in a 3/8...
