    T5 Five speed slant six 74 Dart Sport.

    Hello! Was not entirely sure where to put this, could've gone either here or under the slant six section, but being primarily related to the trans, this felt appropriate. If not, I apologize. So, I (at least at this moment) have a 1974 Dart Sport as my daily driver. I had built the slant in it...

    1974 Dart Sport 7.25 to 8.25 swap

    I have recently acquired an 8.25 rear end from a 1974 Swinger that I am planning on putting in my 1974 Dart Sport. My car is currently a three on tree A250 (I think) and a 7.25 rear end. My questions: do I need to change the driveshaft? Is the u-joint larger? If it's just a u-joint difference...

    Fuel tank sending unit

    I thought I would share an experience I have had. Searching the forum endlessly for what brand or where I can purchase a sending unit that will make my fuel gauge read correctly, I stumbled upon a posting from Slant Six Dan where he linked to Plum Krazy Garage in Australia because they not only...

    Slant Six Clifford Headers

    So, I've read through most threads where people were asking about Clifford headers decisions to be made and whatnot, but I pulled the trigger and thought I'd share my experience. I recently acquired a 74 Dart Sport with a slant and 3 on the tree. The exhaust was falling off, so it needed to be...

    75 Duster electrical boxes

    Now I am familiar with the standard ignition box and the voltage regulator, but I'm working on a 75 Duster that has a blue box on the passenger fender and a black box on the passenger side of the firewall. Both of these boxes have three wires going to them. Any idea what they are? The picture...

    [SOLD] 1976 Plymouth Scamp Special

    Well, unfortunately I need to sell the car. I don't have the time or money for it and with three other cars in need of help, I need the money more than the Plymouth. I am the third owner of this '76 Scamp and have had a lot of fun with it. Has new upper ball joints, new driver torsion bar, idler...

    [Found!] Wiper pivots 1976 Plymouth Scamp

    I'm in need of some wiper pivots for my Scamp. The old ones have frozen and no longer move. Anybody have a pair they're willing to sell? I'd prefer new, but if you have a set that's used but still in good working order, let me know because I can't drive the car too much right now because I never...

    Wiper pivots

    Does anyone know any where that I can buy new wiper pivots? I know I can get the bushings from any part store, but I'm looking for the pivot itself that bolts to the cowl that has the wiper arm on it. The ones on my car not only leak, but have finally frozen up and no longer move.

    About as bad a day as it can get.

    Wasn't sure where to put this, so I figured here. If any one actually bothers to read through this, thank you for your time. For the weekend I figured I'd drive the Plymouth from Bradenton to Ocala to hang out with family. On the way up, it started surging from fuel starvation. I found this a...

    Slant Six Problems.

    I figured this is the best place for this since it has to do with the engine. I recently re-acquired my 76 Scamp and am having some issues with it. I sold it about a year ago to a kid that was going to use it as his first car, he never did and after it sitting for several months, it apparently...

    Can't find misfire

    Recently out of nowhere, I have a really bad misfire. It was driving fine, I stopped and shut it off, came back and it as misfiring really badly. It does it at idle, cruising, and light acceleration, but if you put your foot in it, it clears up and runs great until you let off. I've replaced the...

    Weird brakes

    I drove the car to work today like usual with no problems and during lunch while putting new bulbs in the cluster I noticed the brake light to be on. Sure enough, it had a very soft pedal and it had to be pumped up. I drove it around and sometimes it has a firm pedal and it stops fine, other...

    Distributor hold down

    This seemed like the best place to put this, but if I'm wrong, please let me know. I bought a new distributor for the engine because the advance no longer worked on the original. A friend of mine decided to put it in for me and he says that he broke off the hold down bolt in the engine. I...

    Holley 1945 issues

    I was out driving the 76 Scamp and out of the blue the engine starts having issues running. I limped it in to work and it stopped running altogether. I determined it to be a fuel issue and that it was with the carburetor and not with fuel getting to it. Oddly enough, I had ordered a carb kit a...

    76 Scamp A/C

    I have a 76 Scamp with the slant 6 and the a/c system on my car has been open for the past 10 years or so and I was wondering about the compressor. It's the RV2 and it does spin by hand, but it looks very brown and nasty inside from what I can see through the inlet on it. I removed the EPR valve...

    How bad does this look?

    I've recently acquired a 1976 Scamp and it has a little bit of a rust problem. I've finally done the job of getting the whole instrument cluster working again, and now I think it may be time to deal with the rust on it. I took some pictures of all of the really bad areas and I'm wondering what...

    1976 Scamp fuel gauge problems

    As guessed, I have a 1976 Plymouth Scamp and today I finally decided to figure out why the fuel gauge doesn't work. I probed the sender and I got 61.2 ohms, so, figuring it was low on gas I went and filled it and checked after I got back. Still 61.2 ohms coming out of the tank. I probed the wire...
