    I need a nice instrument cluster

    The chrome is faded on my cluster and I would like to see if anyone has a nice clean one for sale. It is for a 1972 Dart Swinger with the 120 mph speedo. I thought about re-doing the chrome trim but what could I use? Most paints are just silver. Any help would be appreciated.

    Help! Dog Tracking!!

    When my Dart is driven down the highway, my friend says that he can see about an inch of the drivers side front tire and it looks like the car is going down the road slightly sideways. I had him drive the car and I followed and sure enough this is so. I am wondering which side of the front...

    Is there a rear seat difference between a 72 Swinger and a 72 Duster?

    I am going to change my seat covers in my 72 Swinger and I am leaning toward the 72 Duster, Demon pattern for the fronts and backs. I am getting new foam for the front buckets, which are not original to the car, but will there be a fitment issue with the back seats? It looks like they are the...

    1972 Dart Swinger Wheel Well Trim

    I cannot find someone other than Year One that has the wheel well trim for my 72 Swinger. I would buy the trim from Year One but they want $199.95 for all 4 of them ,but $115.00 to ship to my address in Canada, plus UPS will most likely ask for duty, taxes, blah, blah, you get the picture. What...

    Which power steering box to use??

    I needed to replace the power steering box in my 72 Swinger because of waaay too much play in it. I got a remanufactured one from "The Parts Counter" here in Alberta, Canada but it was crap too. It was remanufactured by Autoline and the quality control must be out the window. It too had way too...

    Steering position Lock to Lock

    What would be the solution to the problem of having a different number of turns from centre to right and left? I have more turns from centre to the right than I do from centre to left and I notice the car doesn't turn as sharp that direction for obvious reasons. Isn't the pitman arm splined so...

    What size bore master cylinder to use?

    I want to change over to the aluminum master cylinder because I am tired of trying to fix the leaking cast master cylinder cover on my Dart. I want a nice all around daily driver feel to the brakes, nothing harsh but I can't remember what bore is the best for me. This is for a power front disc...

    Passenger side caliper not totally releasing

    On my 72 Swinger, the passenger side wheel has some pretty good resistance to rolling when I have the front end off the ground on jack stands. The drivers side wheel rolls with little effort. I can see that the disc pads are worn more on the passenger side also so I know the caliper is not...

    Hood and fender shake

    I have a "shake" in my 72 Swinger that is driving me crazy!! Now for the fun part...... it will change intensity depending on which direction I am travelling.

    1972 Swinger vinyl roof trim

    Back when I started restoring my Swinger, the vinyl roof was really bad and had to come off. The trim pieces were junk and all the attaching hardware was removed and all holes filled before painting the entire car. The car was rusty under the vinyl roof and has been repaired but I am going to...

    1972 Dart Horn issue

    My horn will not work on my 72 Swinger. I have bought another relay and tried it but still no action. I have 12 volt power to the center pin and the wiring to the horns check out because I can jumper the relay points and get the horns to sound. I noticed that the power from the center pin on...

    Does anyone have the front end suspension photos for a 1972 Dart Swinger. I want to verify the right mounting of the suspension components.

    I know this topic has been raised many times but I am going to instal some new headers in my 72 340 Dart Swinger and would like to know what you guys are running and if they fit good without a lot of dents and dings.
