I have had both and I love the good ol slant, I can always switch it out but I do love the front end weight and how they handle the twisties, granted your not going to win a drag race with it as stated above but they are great cruisers and can actually be pretty quick with good tuning and some...

Thanks guys I'll try hemidenny for the mounts ,and ya I forgot about the parts wanted section

Hello folks, been a while but I am looking again for an AlterKation front end, the car is a 1970 Dodge dart 2 door with a 225 slant six and manual steering. Hit me up if you have one to sell or a good lead on one, thanks in advance for any help :)

Those little carter 2bbls are good carbs with the right jets and rods in them. Cool thanks, when I first got it it ran like a sewing machine but when I parked it it was deiseling on me and I had no idea how to work on an engine, but I think it's worth tearing into now.

Thanks again all for the info, from what I have gathered here is that if I do a good overhaul on the old electical systems and tune everything to spec and maybe some nice exhaust and a manifold it really shouldnt do to bad unless my foot gets heavy. I just realy miss the on demand power of my...

Thanks for that info, so new points and cond are "ok" other than the replacement factor, the 318 I am talking about used to burn them up quikly. But that may be a timing problem or valve thing possibly? Or bad coil? And also I wasnt near as good at mechanicing back then, I probably had them way...

I was deffinatly going to go with HEI upgrade I hear it makes a huge difference, and of course a huge tune up all the way around. I want to say when I was running the old 318 and didnt know at all how to tune a carb or timing it was getting around 16mpg and thats in a fairly light weight 71...

Hey all, Havent been on here in a while but I was hoping to get some fuel mileage reports from folks running a 318 with any type of carb in a 2door A body, I am considering dropping my stock 1971 318 into my two door Dart and would like to know what to expect out of it in good running condition.

I'm clear over in oregon and I want to go get my 3 step kids and go home to my 14mnth old son, what a bastered it's to bad they didnt aim low this scum should have had to live with this for ever in a max prison for life getting what should have been coming to him for such a horrible act. Glad...

Thanks for the info, I figured a million and a half have asked and I'll keep digging. Even at around $900 to $1400 I found new full kits witch is realy good pricing compaed to Alter K. Nice stupid Challenger BTW ;) those are my faorite Mopar of all time I would actually give up a lefty for one...

As many of us I would love an AlterKation front end but they arent cheap, I am looking for knowledge on what type of vehicals I can rob front end stuff from to convert to a disc brake front end on a 71 A body dart custom 2 door, D100's?, Dakotas? whatever works best for a wrecking yard score...

mike's carburaters is a good site also, I got a rebuild kit at O'reilleys for my 1920 holley that had everything for about $16 and they had it on hand.

sorry no pics yet but I'm just trying to get the back bolt in that goes through the glass with a rubber washer and the rubber sleeve, I'll try to get some pics up if I cant get it lined up, and for the life of me no matter where I roll the window up or down I cant seem to line it up with an...

x3 for slantsixDan he knows his sixes,he is also more often found on the SlantSix forum. It is great for info on these motors.

Thanks OldmanRick I believe thats my car, and the emblems. You cant zoom on them very well but I know they say Dart Custom, Dang that meens I'm still in search for them I was realy hoping it ended up being a swinger and wouldnt have to hunt these down. I think when I paint it I may just put a...

Scroll down a few threads on this column, there is a thread with a poll on it that has perfect pics of both.

Now I dont have any trim on the side but then again I bought it primer grey, but the PO said it didnt have trim, I notice also yours looks to be stock paint with no emblems other than the hood. Also my 1970 has the bullet shaped passenger and driverside rear view mirrors as apposed to the tall...

Stupid decoder for the vin said it's a dart 2door hardtop from Onterio..lol but ya Dartman thats my dash except mine is blue, I havent seen photos of any kind of a Dart with exterior emblems that say Custom though, I'll keep digging also, thanks again for the help

Well the plot thickens, my 71 swinger 2 door which is most deffinatly a swinger as I am the second owner and have the original invoice and it is bone stock with emblems in place has an H for the second number in the vin. The 1970 2door also has an H for the second number yet says custom on the...

Well my 2nd # is H wich according to Dartmans vin# discription meens it must be a custom, (and this is from OldmanRicks list) Dart Custom 2-door hardtop 17,208

I had it happen on my 71 swinger and what we did was get everything flammable clear and wrapped wet towels around the vynle and had to weld the things back down.

Thanks guys, now my question is when I get this 225 putting out the power I'm hoping to get would be a good upgrade to use the rear end from the V8 model? If they are different that is. I'll check that spotters guide here in a few and see if they are the same.

I have recently heard that for instance my 1970 2door 225 /6 dart that says (dart custom) on the glove box is classified as a swinger since it's a 2door, and all 2door darts are swingers and the custom label just represents the trim package. So is it a Dart Custom or a Dart Swinger? When I...

I have a 1970 dart custom w/225 and a 71 dart swinger with a 318, would there be any difference in the rear ends? or are they the same and where do I check them for numbers to find out?

It's not easy but with the window down you can peek in at an angle through the biggest access hole and see the bolt head enough to get a very small ratchet and socket on it 7/16 and break it loose but getting it back in is a blind battle so far, It' doesnt line up with any access holes and you...

When rolled all the way down the back bolt that holds the glass is still conceled behind metal, I was able to peek in and see it well enough to get a small socket on it and get the bolt out without having to look, once your hand and socket are in there you cant see it anymore but I got it out...

I got my new piece of glass set but still having a hard time getting the rear bolt that holds the glass back in, is there any way to lower the whole system down to get the bolt into view or do you just have to feel for it blind and hope to get lucky?

Welcome aboard, that sux about the windshield, I would do what you can to slip through the cracks on that one and say F-em

+1 make sure all the clips are loose, sometimes they really dont like to pop loose when they are old and can tear out of the press board, and it may take scinning some nuckles slideing your hand under the panel and as close to the clip as you can to pop em but Curtis is rite you should be able...

Does anyone have some pics with the air cleaner off with the proper hook ups and springs in place for a 225 stock single barrel, just want to make sure I have it rite, everything I have found on this car that wasnt working rite was hooked up wrong by a PO that didnt know anything about cars. And...
