I’m not sure it would be a direct bolt on for a ‘73, but an alternative if you don’t want to lose the crash protection, is the aluminum pieces that mount the bumpers (backer bars for want of a better term) and plastic filler strips from the ‘76 Feather Duster/Dart Lite. Of course, finding said...

Slant Six club meeting at the Pietro's Pizza in downtown Milwaukie, Wednesday, 4 February 2015, 7PM. Telling the counter clerk you're there for the car club meeting when you order food or beverage gets you 10% off. If you're in the area, stop by.

70 TA Challenger type, sealed to the carburetors and high enough to get good flow into them.

Utube must watch from 1965: Goofy - Freewaytopia Be sure to watch both parts.

Ah yes, I remember them well. Actually, all the "freeways" around the whole Bay Area seem to be littered with too short, blind on ramps, the 10 in LA too. Ramps like these coupled with the prevailing driver mind think (not necessarily unfounded) that if you leave enough space for a car in...

Back in the time when drivers Ed was taught and people actually knew how to drive, you were instructed to always accelerate into the open spot when changing lanes and adjust your speed with the flow of traffic after the merge. You were instructed NOT to slow down, and thereby force the traffic...

This thread got me to thinking; if I were to swap out the very worn out 360 in my 90 W250 for a Magnum, how much of a pain is getting rid of the TBI wiring and installing the Magnum harness? The truck is not worth the grief of a monumental rewire and ripping into the dash, but if it were a...

If the springeyes are laying against the frame rails, the springs are too long/short and the frame brackets need to be moved fore/aft to get the proper angle on the shackles to allow them to work properly. Shackles long enough to mount at the proper angle and get the springs off the frame rails...

Cibies. Quick way to get up to speed on modern lighting options is to go to Daniel Stern Lighting and read everything on the website. Some good threads here on FABO too, and Dan chimes in with his expertise on most or all of them.

I can see where the owner wouldn't want to do a run if kits from the last one languished on his shelves for a while. You can't stay in business long with product that isn't moving tying up your investment capital. That said, the .org guys are talking about a group buy with 10 confirmed orders...

Carter THERMOQUAD, or maybe one of the new street Demons on a dual plane intake of some kind, just make sure it has the larger ports/plenum intended for the 340/360 and the proper mounting pad to mount the carburetor used (adapters cost efficiency/performance). It's really hard to beat the...

Distribution block and possibly lines from later (67-76) car makes cloning dual res setup pretty simple, especially when running front discs. On a drum brake car it doesn't need to be any more complicated than a brass plug in the distribution block port to the rear brakes and extending the rear...

Hell, that's like everything at my house. Parts, tools, jigs, books, instructions, paperwork, titles, you name it. Guarantee as soon as you buy a replacement, or don't need it anymore, it will turn up along with another one you forgot you even had.

I agree, painting the first wheel choice (#1) the dark gunmetal to match the paint on the front bumper works well with the body paint choice and the square body lines.

A 250 dollar running 413? If it's out of a 62-65 car, runs good, has good compression, and possibly 915 closed chamber heads, picking the 413 would be a no brainer for me, because the cost of everything you would need to upgrade for a 360 (including chassis mods like big torsion bars) is going...

Are you lap seaming the floor and stitch welding? Or using sheet metal panel clamps and butting the seams so that you can connect all the stitch welds together and smooth them out to look and act original?

Even if you do the wiper pivot seal kit from Schumacher, don't be surprised when you still have water on the floor. Many times the wiper pivots get blamed for all the water coming into the interior and more often than not the primary contributor turns out to be something else. The real fix can...

Double post

If you just want a post 69 Dart convertible, I think I saw the yellow one the owner of Wildcat Auto Wrecking owns or used to own for sale not that long ago. Maybe they (Wildcat) could help you track it down. If not, a few polite questions about it's construction might be answered.

Just went and looked at a beautiful set of 10 double spoke 300C wheels today (local Craig's list). Cast lettering into back of the spokes identified them as 17X7s. Answering a question asked earlier in this thread, the back spacing over the bead flange to the mounting pad was 6". Would have...

Get a parts car with all the parts unique to the convertible version of your particular car still usable and in good shape, then be prepared to spend far more time and money than it's worth making what you could have bought.

Traditionally American race tracks are run counterclockwise. So, tell me again, why it is an advantage in a racing situation to lean the engine over in the chassis in such a way as to transfer MORE weight to the outside of the chassis in the turns and cause additional unloading of the inside...

This subject gets my blood boiling. SHAME ON YOU! How inconsiderate! Early last summer the neighbor put in an open fire pit in his side yard and his college age sons started using it to party with 20-30 of their friends on weekends until 2-3 in morning. Now mind you my workweek starts on...

Slitting the floor and installing through the floor rectangular tube of fairly large cross section (2X4, 3X3, 3x4, etc.) welded to the crossmembers and where it butts the floor panels encroaches on the rear footwell space, but is generally considered the most rigid. Unless the under the floor...

How often do you take your emergency break?

Mounts for the steering box and idler arm don't change 68 to 76, but complete assembly of pitman, idler, and tie rod centerlink need to match. 68 to 72 centerlinks mount above arms and middle is lower than ends to clear oil pan. 73 and later mount below the arms and is straighter. Tie rod...

A trick Russ Meeks taught me some 20+ years ago is to use 1/8" mahogany veneer for making up interior panels instead of some form of cardboard or fiberboard. It's easily cut to size, stable, and you can weatherproof it with a couple if coats of spar varnish, and it holds glue and staples well...

Don't forget to check for leaks at/around the oil sending (gauge or light) unit. Dripping oil from unsealed threads on fittings can dump a surprising amount of oil on the ground in a short amount of time, especially if the drip is a steady one.

Been rehashed here many times: Basic suspension parameters of the Mustang II and longitudinal torsion bar suspension as used in the A body cars are very similar and benefit from similar upgrades to the bushings, spring, shock, stabilizer bar, wheels, and tires, provided the basic structure has...

Try rephrasing your question in different ways when you do the thread searches, sometimes that's the most time consuming part of doing the research. Short answer; pre Hemi motors are a virtual bolt in with the right bits and you'll find the earliest versions of the 500 (904) and 518 (727)...
