I just want power brakes that's all. I haven't driven this car in 10 or so years, but I remember I did not like the manual brakes. Easy enough to swap.

Ok very cool, thank you for the info. Have to redo the entire brake system, so might as well upgrade to power brakes.

Do you just drill, and tap a hole pretty much anywhere?

So I want to convert my car to power brakes. Car is a 76 Dart 4 door l6. It already has front disc. I've been told just to buy the power brake booster, and matching master. My question is, where do I tie into for vacuum for the booster?

You're welcome!

This is so you can see photo's on these online forums! It worked for me. It's kind of nice to go look at someones build, and actually be able to see their photos!

Hey folks, so I was over on the slant 6 forum, and found a cure to photobucket photos not working. It only works for google chrome users, but I've done it, and it works. It's an add on. I cant believe photobucket wanting a few hundred dollars to use their service. That's ridiculous. Fix...

I might be waiting until I take the car completely apart, then figure out what to do from there. I'm thinking Ill buy a cutoff from a nice clean car. Believe it or not where the torsion bars pass through, it is very solid there.

Sorry about that, the car is a 76. I would like to get the earlier frame rails if they make them, I plan on putting an earlier front end on the car.

Is there a company out there that makes new front frame rails? Was under my Dart yesterday, and saw some decent sized holes in both front frame rails. I've been told about the safety caps, but are they really that safe? I'm not going to give up on this car over that.

So it's definitely the original engine to the car. The numbers on the rear boss are C6223489. The last of the numbers match my vin. I guess the only way I'll know if it's forged or cast crank is pulling the oil pan, and measuring the connecting rod width. Cast are a little under an inch wide at...

I'm not 100% sure where the partial vin is, but I did have someone break down the code in that picture I posted. Was told the block was built febuary 5th 1976, and was the 28th block that day. I will try to google where the partial vin, and casting date is, I know the engine is original to the...

Thankfully mine doesn't have the E! the undersized journals don't worry me too much.

Hey folks, curious as to when my 225 was produced. A lot of online searching led me to write down the numbers behind the coil pack. What I saw (picture attached) is 6225R 2 5 28. I cant seem to find any kind of breakdown as to what these mean. All I know is the 6225 means it's a 225. According...

I'm not exactly worried about it, it could have been newer gas for all I know.. I mean it ran pretty good on it until it ran dry, but I do understand what you're saying.

Woah! any chance you have a link to this build? Looks interesting!

Nice! I just found my old 76 dart I owned back in highschool, and bought it back. I checked the fluids, sprayed some gas in the carb, and it fired right up. Actually stayed running on the 12 year old gas it had in the tank.

That was it! I have all my lights now! Not sure about the light in the gauges, but I'll find out tonight.

I may have found the issue. It appears this is the wire from the alternator, it's broken, I pulled on the wire very lightly and it pulled right apart.

There is only 3 of them under the hood that I can see I'm going to buy a new dimmer switch today, the one in the car is froze. I will check for power at the "welded" terminal, and at the dimmer. I have the wiring diagram downloaded, I've been studying it for a few days now.

I have nothing aside from my blinkers, and flashers. If its the fusible links, can I take them out, and install regular fuses in place of them? I'm also not sure on how to test them, but google is our friend.

Yeah I'm going to drop the steering column down so I can pull the gauge cluster, and test to see if there is power to that switch... but does that switch control all the lighting to the car? Like I said I dont even have lights when I hit the brakes.

Hey folks, so I've been fixing a few electrical gremlins in my 76 Dart. I'm down to my last two. No power to the radio which isn't so much a big deal, but I also have no power to all of my lights. I tested the connection at the firewall, and there is no power coming out. I printed out a wiring...

Well I'd like to get the full panel all the way out to the quarters which I found, but I will keep you in mind!

I appreciate the advice, but I already know what I need. Thank you though. At this time I am only looking for the tail panel. The other panels I need can be had new, this is the only one they don't re-pop.

Looking for the panel that goes behind the bumper/tail lights of a 70-71 Dart. 72 might be the same I'm not sure. I'll attach a picture so you can see what I mean. Converting the rear on my 76 to a 70-71. I'm in northern Maine, hopefully you can ship.

Yeah spares for his car, but he decided to have the ones on his stripped, then sent out to be re- chromed. Keep in mind he did not paint this car.. Lol

Yeah I'm going to try to find one. I posted an ad on craigslist, and I have a few old school car buddies in my state that should be able to help me find one. A friend down the street from me has a bumper with tail lights, it's a 4 tail light bumper.

Awesome, well all in all it doesn't sound too bad. The reason I was asking about the trunk lid is maybe I can use that to line everything up before I make it permanent. Thanks for the pictures. I know this all sounds like a lot of work, but personally I like 4 doors, and I know it's something I...

Alright. Are the trunk lids the same 70-76?
