That's the one 67Dart.... I would do it now but we've had tornadoes on the ground just a few miles from here so are holed up in basement. ... Matt

Airgrabber: Thanks! No tach or gauge but I will purchase one as to do this correctly. I will also make sure the timing is correct first. Slow going with many children and work but I'll get there! Matt

Update: I replaced all the original bolts holding on the electronics. .. Even tried to replace the "emergency start switch" as it looks horribly corroded... no dice on that so I cleaned it up with a wire brush best I could and put it back on as well... Initial reaction? Success!!! She popped...

Thanks. Will do. And all parts yes are a year old, but new-ish. Matt

This probably isn't helpful but this is everything I've replaced under the hood... and a shot of what you say is the ignition harness wiring? Matt

I was admonished for not posting a link to a similar thread I have here... for what it's worth it's entitled "Help! I think I fried my starter".... So far I have replaced the ballast resistor, ecu, starter relay and the starter itself. I am not mechanically inclined but once I gather some...

Thanks. Sorry I don't know how to put a link in. Matt

Gotcha on the switch. Clarification: starter cranks but engine does not catch. Then sometimes it lights right off. Matt

Since I'm sure it's the original one? I swear everything on this car is 39 years old lol. :) Matt

Another dumb question: If I were to replace the neutral safety switch should I just put a new gasket on the transmission pan? Matt

Starter stayed running while car was. Not sure I've replaced neutral safety switch. Will check. Matt

Okay that got your attention. ;) I'm the noob with the Dart and fried the starter recently. .. Well I've replaced everything under the hood (I think) relating to the ignition. New starter. Again. Damn thing doesn't want to start. Intermittently. It really feels like it only...

Thanks.... Called 3 parts stores here; autozone being the one to quote me $460! I'll try again armed with more knowledge. :) Matt

Holy crap. I cant find a "mini-starter" for less than $400! Anybody clue me in on a cheaper one; otherwise I'll pick up another reman monster.... Thanks Matt

Okay folks. One of my stepsons has a concert tonight so I didn't have time to pull the starter. But I did buy a new relay and for kicks I tried jumping it and the solenoid clicks but no start. So I am imagining I need another starter but will pull and check the old one.... Will report back...

Okay gotta sleep now (worked overnight) but will read any additional comments this afternoon. Thanks again. Matt

New starter relay. Got it. Will stop by auto parts store en route to Dart. Thanks! Matt

Yeah I don't know much but thought the ignition screwy. And apologies I did not notice an "electrical" forum; my bad. Thanks will be pulling starter today this afternoon. Matt

Howdy folks. I attempted to start my 74 Dart (318 ) last week. I have had a hard-starting problem with it in the past. So I replaced the starter with a reman unit. The car has been sitting for months at my sister-in-laws house. I had a revelation whilst jumping it from my 88 NY'er.... maybe...

Daily drive an 88 New Yorker. Was given to me for free from family of neighbour who died.... It's really kind of a piece of crap; but a piece of crap that's started every time and has gotten me around for a year now. Would much rather be driving my 74 Dart but she guzzles gas. As mentioned...

Was 60 two days ago. Now its 10 degrees and snow is on the ground. Iowa. Bah. Matt

Why yes I have actually. Taking the water-pump off my 78 Chrysler New Yorker in a drug store parking lot 100 miles from home with children in the back seat in February in South Dakota. On Sunday. In a podunk town where all business's were shut down after 5. It was 6. Thank God local bar...

of course it's my one day off for the next 3 weeks; and it snowed last night and it's 10 degrees outside and I have my 2-year-old. Bah, Humbug. (he who really wanted to take a screwdriver to the Dart's carb today) Grr. I might do it anyway. *rummages for a snowsuit size 2T* :) Matt

watch "Waynes World". Garth has a Pacer w/a rope-licorice dispenser on the headliner. :) Matt

FWIW; it has rubber flooring, like a cop-car.... Matt

I'm willing to learn.... Baby steps, baby steps. :) Matt

2 Darts: drool! Beautiful. Old Tired Rebel: heh; I can barely change a starter and you want me to Weld stuff!!! ;) RaniDart70: thanks. Unfortunately the older kids live 100 miles away. My 12 and 13 year old stepsons would much rather be on Xbox Live *eyeroll*. The two year old shows promise...

Such Wit and Wisdom on this site!!! Reminds me of Scatpack.com.... anyhoo :) Special shout to 66fs for the step-by-step... that's exactly the guidance I need. Years ago; when I was really really poor and lived badly, I had a plethora of ultra-cheap cars. Like; buy 3 $150 cars so...

@ RaniDart70: No disrespect for wagons whatsoever. Wish I had me one. Hell; the only 2-door Mope I've had was a 76 Cordoba. :) My reply was more in the "yeah I've got 6 kids I need a wagon " vernacular ... :) :) :) Matt

@ 73Scamp318: I'm in Sioux City. Matt
