    Modern re-creation for those old window graphics?

    Hey everyone: My 1969 Dart sedan has an ancient dealer-promo window graphic in the rear window that I would like to have reproduced if possible because it is so neat. I am guessing this was some type of decal transfer. I didn't know that stuff existed back then and this is the only car I've...

    [WANTED] 67-76 donor metal where the shock bolts are inside trunk

    Hey guys: I need to buy a chunk of good metal from someone. This is the portion of sheetmetal inside the trunk where the shock bolts are, as shown. I've never seen a car that had this damaged, but when a po swapped in an 8.25 into my SLANT SIX Swinger, they mangled that area on one side...

    Condenser differences?

    I have a highly technical question- I see condensers with a regular wire, and I see them with a large copper strap. Why? What are the differences(besides one has a wire and one has a strap)? My 2bbl 273 Dart still has the original installed at the factory in November 1968 and it's the...

    30, 41, 46, 50 amp alternators? Yeah RIGHT

    So, has anyone noticed the funny business Mopar used with their alternator ratings? Oh, I know there were supposed to be different ratings available on paper in different years, but I spent some time looking through parts books recently and found some interesting stuff. Let me clarify that I'm...

    All right, is there any good 5/16 fuel line anywhere now?

    I wish I could say I had a hose leak on a 426 Hemi, but nope, this was on my 1969 Dart with a 273. Sometime in the last couple of years while the car was getting put back together, I installed new reproduction fuel lines at the engine and new hose sections and a filter. This is the old-style...

    1963-69 starter question, and it's a good one...

    Good evening: Let's see if anyone knows or pretends to know the answer to a question I will include near the end of this post. First, some factual information- At least as far back as 1962 and lasting through most of the 1969 model year, Chrysler equipped vehicles that had automatic...

    I hope I never have to buy another Precision seal as long as I live

    So i've been building a couple 4-door 67-69 sedans because I wanted practice before doing my Swinger and Scamp. Both needed windshields, so I ordered the first one from somebody that carried Precision gaskets, because they were CHEAP. Well here's a warning to those cooler than I who might...

    3M Bedding and glazing compound not available...what now?

    I've been trying to locate this stuff everywhere I know to look and just everyone that carries it is either out or almost out. I ordered 2 from NPD and they emailed me and only had one. What gives? Is 3M withdrawing this from the market? If that's the case what is an acceptable, PROVEN...

    A visit to Stephen's Performance

    I thought I would share my experience visiting the Mopar Mecca that is about 30 minutes from my house. To preface, this isn't a hate post, i don't know the people and I don't sell parts to compete with them. To begin with, if you've never been to this place and you have a vision of nearly...

    [WANTED] Still need a windshield for a '67-76 sedan

    Hey guys: I am still looking for a good windshield for my '69 Dart 4-door sedan. Doesn't matter if it's tinted or not. A few chips are fine but NO fogging. I live on the border between Tennessee and Alabama and don't mind to drive to pick up or meet you. I do realize they are available...

    [WANTED] 10" front drum/hub for 1969 Dart w/ 5x4" bolt pattern.

    Hey guys: I need to obtain said part. I specifically need the front hub, but I will take the entire thing. However, I think shipping would be significantly less for just the hub if you don't mind to seperate. No spun races please. Must be 10", cannot use 9" parts. Thank you.

    Question about 9" and 10" front drum HUBS

    Hey everyone: I'm going to have to find another hub for my '69 Dart. A previous owner(who else) apparently didn't understand the left-hand lug thing and removed the lugs and studs by force, ruining the wheel and stripping the splines out of the hub. My question is, are the hub assemblies...

    1969 Dart side molding clips?

    Hey guys: I'm putting together my latest cheap 4-door beater, this one a '69 Dart Custom with the wide side molding down the center. I scabbed on a quarter section to replace wreck damage. In the collision I assume the original piece of trim between the rear door and the end of the rear...

    Anyone know what's going on with the TN Valley Mopar Club?

    Kind of curious. TVMC is our local (Huntsville AL) Mopar club. They put on a Show-n-Go each year at Huntsville Dragway that myself and others really enjoy which is held on the Saturday before Father's Day. Things appeared to start going off the rails in 2020 when the Big C hit. That event was...

    Probably one of the last 1975 Dart Swingers produced

    I recently rescued a '75 Swinger almost sight-unseen that turned out to be a really decent car underneath the dirt and rat poop. What is mildly interesting is that it was built at the VERY end of production for that model year. The Scheduled Build Date and the tag is is 919, which would have...

    Swinger/Scamp rubber plug on inside of door

    Hey guys: What is the purpose of the small rubber plug on the inside upper door frame just aft of the remote mirror control, other than to generate questions about it's purpose. Both doors have it and I've seen them as far back as on a 1967 Dart GT. My guess is that there is a screw behind...

    Any Turbine Bronze '68 Valiants left?

    Just curious if anyone has spotted one of these in recent years. Granted, Valiants aren't first on the radar when looking at old Mopars, but this is an uncommon paint shade that was originally used on the Chrysler Turbine car, then as a spring '66 color, then as a regular option for 1967 and...

    What is going on with these rod bearings?

    Hey guys: I'm going through a fairly low mileage engine to go in my Scamp, and found something disquieting. By low mileage, I mean an unrebuilt 1970 engine with under 100K. Here's one of the rod bearings. What is going on here? The inserts aren't excessively worn or smeared, but they all have...

    [WANTED] '67-up 4 door windshield

    Hey guys: I'm in need of a good 4-door sedan windshield. 4-door and 2-door Scamp/Swinger windshields are different heights just for reference...I need the 4-door version. No excessive fogging or cracks. I'd "prefer" tinted but not overly picky. Alternatively, I will go with new if someone...

    Name that part...

    I know what it is, since I pulled it, but I never knew it existed and haven't seen one in person until now. This one probably wouldn't exist if it hadn't been on a '71 Demon that got t-boned 30+ years ago and put away. On a Slant but I'm confident it could be found on V8's as well.

    NO, do NOT remove the spark plug washers on drool tube heads!!

    So, I started noticing oil down the passenger side of my '68's engine. Nothing unusual there because there are 3 leak points...valve cover gasket, spark plug tube seals and steel shim head gasket. This engine no longer has the steel head gasket and the valve cover gasket isn't very old, so I got...

    Bench testing two cheap eBay fuel sending units

    Hi there: For a few years I've been dealing with the frustration of an inaccurate gas gauge on my '68 Valiant after I replaced the tank and sending unit with moderately-priced aftermarket items. I've had the same issue of "drops from Full like a rock within 30 miles" that several other...

    '69 windshield gasket...two kinds of sealer?

    Hey guys: I'm taking on the unenviable task of cleaning up a windshield channel again and encountered something I needed to ask about. Below in the first picture is the windshield channel on my '69. I spent well over an hour cleaning out the sealant along (half of) the bottom, where the...

    What kind of tape is this?

    Found in all my Abodies in only two places: sealing the bottom of the inner door seals to the doors, and wrapped around the AC vacuum harness in tight spots. It's not vinyl, it's adhesive so it's not the non-adhesive harness tape everyone keeps asking about. 2 inches wide. Thanks.

    '69 Dart "where does it go" question...

    Hey guys: I am reassembling the dash on my Dart after I restored it and I'm having a memory lapse. I know WHAT this thing is...it's the support for the driver-side defroster hose, but I can't recall where it attaches to whatever it attaches to. All I remember is it was somewhere to the left...

    Window glass guide rubber for sedans?

    Hey guys: I was wondering if the flocked, rubber guides that the door glass slides up and down in are available anywhere new for a 4dr sedan? How do you remove and replace? I read through the FSM but it's not clear with all the models being jammed together. I'm thinking the pieces for a 2dr...

    Head gasket "teeth"

    Hey guys. First time having to R&R an intake. What is the purpose of the two small metal tabs or teeth on each end of the head gasket on the intake side? Hold the end seals down? Hold the intake gaskets up? None of the above? Thanks...

    1964-69 small-block restoration details...PICS INSIDE

    Hey guys: I am cleaning up and resealing a 1969 273 engine with about 70,000 miles on it. There are some interesting details that may already be well-known but there can't ever be too much info out there. For those wondering what would have a 273 in 1969, it came out of a Dart. The first...

    Starters...all black or not?

    Hey guys: Curious if anyone has firsthand knowledge whether original, unrebuilt Chrysler starters were ever painted completely black? I've seen factory pictures with both all-black and black and natural aluminum versions. I've also seen it stated that both are correct. I personally have...

    Need 240V in the shop, is it already in this OLD panel box?

    Hey guys... I hope everyone is staying healthy in these trying times. here's the scene: I have a detached metal shop building that is supplied with electrical power from the house about 50ft away through an underground conduit. The house was rewired with a new 200 amp service about 10 years...
