Well it turned out to be the solenoid/relay that was only about five months old. Can you believe this!?!?!?

Well gentlemen all that and the issue is still present. I got everything back together, went to re-connect the negative on the cable and though the key was off the starter wanted to turn. Now would I go solenoid?

Thanks for the link!!!!!! How in heck do I get that roll pin out?

You know guys let me describe what happened so I can get some further input. My ignition lock cylinder is definitely loose so it needs replacing. But this all came about when turning my car on last week and it got stuck "starting". No matter how I turned the key back it just kept turning...

Okay guys can anyone give me some steps for replacing the ignition lock on my 74 Dodge Dart without tilt? Even the master manual I bought doesn't have some clear directions for this repair.

It's the SE model with the 2.5 liter four cylinder. You put that behind a six speed transmission and this commuter car moves very well. I am pleasantly surprised with the layout of the interior and the ergonomics in this machine. I think this car is going to last us a very long time.

Thanks for the input guys it's greatly appreciated. I broke down and bought a 2012 Camry. I am actually pretty impressed with this little car.

I love the style of those Satellites!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well guys my old Lincoln Mark 7 is becoming so problematic that it's time to purchase a "new" car. Through my bank I want to purchase a good commuter car in the price range of 10 to 12 grand. Give me some good cars that would fit the bill. Perhaps your own personal experiences?

Well the good news is it turned out to be a speedo cable issue. The cable I ordered off of e-bay was way too long and I guess any kink in the cable just wreaks havoc on the whole system. The bad news is with the original speedo cable my speedometer is off by about five mph. It's not a big...

Well I shot them an e-mail and they quoted me $175 which includes parts, labor, and a one year warranty.

Would a lockup be more favorable in terms of economy?

Well gentlemen I installed a new cable and a speedometer from a donor car I thought was functioning okay. All that time and the speedo is twenty miles per hour too fast and bounces violently at low speeds. Do you guys know of a good speedometer rebuilder?

Man you guys have some nice trucks. Hold on to those they are hard to find even out here in SoCal.

I think a little bit of both dirt on the inside and scuff on the outside.

What have you guys used in order to clean up the gauge lenses on your clusters? I just did a cluster swap and wouldn't you know the lenses are so hazy I can barely see my gauges.

I don't know guys but "Rat Rodding" a Dodge Demon just doesn't seem right to me for some reason. It's hard enough finding good A-Bodies these days let alone purposely finding one and making look as shabby as possible is beyond me.

How can you tell the difference? It's funny because though I have been in the car game for a long time this is one aspect of the hobby I have missed. Would my 74 Dodge Dart have a lockup trans?

Now that is nice!

Hey guys I'm back at it and ready to reassemble my dash. There is only one thing that is a problem. Idiot here, meaning myself, forgot where the short, black, ground wire attaches from the column to another location I obviously forgot, goes exactly? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You know guys while I have my cluster out a thought occurred to me. How hard would it be to fabricate a gauge plate that would accept aftermarket gauges in my Dart? How would the aftermarket gauges function differently then the stock setup? How have you guys done your custom gauges?

Thanks for the tips and input guys. I got my cluster out and am working on putting the functioning cluster from the donor Valiant. You know this got me thinking though. How hard would it be to totally go with a custom gauge setup? You know something so I could put all VDO type gauges instead...

Thanks man I guess I'm just frustrated about the whole day. You know how that goes. Frustration makes the simply task immense. Any clue on my speedo cable?

Is it true that in order to remove the dash cluster the whole steering column has to be dropped? If so what kind of design is that? I ask because check this out guys. My speedometer has been slowly going out and finally would never rest on zero. So I swapped in a genuine Mopar speedo cable...

Well let me clarify. Last night is when the issue began with the needle being stuck on 20mph at rest. This could shed some light on it for you guys who are more experienced then myself.

Well guys I used 3-1 and the noise is gone but my speedometer never rests to zero. It's stuck on twenty miles per hour at rest. What in heck is the issue?

Hey gentlemen I'm in the process of installing a spacer on my Edelbrock carb and am curious as to how tight the longer carb studs should be tightened? Is finger tight okay? Do I need to use any gasketcinch on these studs or on the spacer?

Well I doubt I'll ever go headers since they came be a real pain for maintenance. My co-workers are all into HP while I'm more interested in torque.

I believe it's a 1974 casting.

Well that's what I've been weighing out in my mind. This is pretty much going to be my daily driver for the next two years and as stated earlier, I do a forty mile round trip commute three times a week. I think an overdrive/gear splitter would really make this old machine a legitimate and...
