I asked this question last week and wasn't precise enough with the info. I received several answers and questions to my question. The post dropped off without me seeing the answer I needed......so I will ask again. What is the distance between the faces of the front leaf spring mount to the...
Just a short update on the 440. The motor started after a little bit of timing tweaking. Let it run for just a few seconds as it wasn't hooked up to a radiator. Good oil pressure. Great throttle response. Thanks for the advice on how to wire it in.
Getting ready to start my 440 before putting it in the Dart. A couple of questions for you expert Moparians. 1. Do the plugs need to be installed to test? 2. What pressure/pressures should I be looking for?
Thanks a bunch!
Hello fellow Moparians. I couple years back I remember a post showing how to modify a steering column with shifter to one without. I don't seem to be able to find it now that I am ready to do mine. They cut the offending pieces off and filled with epoxy (or something else), sanded and...
I'm looking to test run my 440 before installing. Anyone have a wiring diagram on how it needs to be wired in order to do this? I've watched several videos on you tube but they are vague in details. Thanks.
Any of you good people out there that left the chrome trim off when you installed yours? If so, how do you like the looks and could you post some photos? I'm considering leaving mine off.
Thanks,

How do I remove the ball joint from this knuckle arm of my '72 Dart Swinger? Also, is the bolt still in the arm attaching it to the steering knuckle riveted or pinned so it can't be removed? It appears to be as a large brass hammer will not move it.
Thanks,
Bob
Here I am again with a question CI couldn't help me with. I was looking at their "fuel tank components" section and no filler neck was listed for a '72 Swinger. I'm sure it's there but it doesn't say it is. Can any of you fine Moparians point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Hello out there. I'm looking for window glass weatherstripping for a '72 Dart Swinger. Classic Industries doesn't list one and the guy I talked to couldn't tell me if any of the ones listed would work. I'm sure some of you have run into the same problem. HELP.
Bought a 8.8 from a local salvage yard and had it shortened by a "professional". He did a good job on it except for the part where he destroyed the perches from the shortened end. Now I need to find the perches. One is for the u-bolt and one locates the pin from the leaf springs. HELP!
I'm putting a 440 in my '72 Dart Swinger build. Date code on block is 11-25-72. The block # is 3688880 440 6. What is a good intake manifold to use with a Holley 670cfm Street Avenger carb? The carb doesn't look like it will work with the intake on the engine now. Ideas?
I recently purchased an 8.8 to narrow and put in my '72 Swinger build. It has surface rust. I cannot get the hubs off. I have hit on them with a large brass hammer hoping to get them to loosen up. I have heated them up with a torch hoping the swelling would cause them to break free. Notta...
I've asked this question once before and didn't receive many comments. What late model buckets and bench seats fit well in a '72 Dart Swinger? Any info and pics appreciated.
Thanks.
How do I move the leaf springs to the inside of my frame rails on my '72 Dart Swinger? Are there brackets available? Have you made your own? Any pics or info will be appreciated.
Thanks.
What wrench/tool is used to take out the retractable front seat belt from a '72 Dart? It looks like a torx? Something else? What size? :banghead:
HELP ME!!!
I'm going to convert my auto on the column to auto on the floor. What is a good steering column and steering wheel to put in my '72 Dart Swinger? I considered modifying the current column but I'm sure my welding ability is up for it. Thanks.
Is there a thread or video out there that shows how to do a automatic on the column to a automatic on the floor swap? '72 Dart Swinger w/727. Thanks for any help you guys can give this beginner.
The 440 I bought to go in my '72 Dart Swinger build came with a Purple Monster Cam already installed. Anyone out there have any experience with these? I have read good and bad things about them. Any input will be appreciated.
