Won a STR12 off eBay. Still waiting for it to arrive. I was looking at some old stuff on the web saying the top plate can crack due to a backfire. Wanted to know if guys install a pressure release valve as a precaution. What kind and where to mount it?
For those members running the Edelbrock STR12 crossram intake, where can you get the linkage? Also, carb recommendations? Edelbrock or Holley? My car has minor mods. 340 with mild cam, headers, stock 727, & 3.55 gears.
Weird electrical problem happened today while taking my 68' Dart around. First noticed my factory amp gauge pegging the 'D' side in rhythm with the turn signal on in left position. Flasher clicking but no light on dash or on fender. Turned it off, then on again (left) and saw my aftermarket...
Need some help. My 68' Dart (340 w/ a/c) federal p/s pump just went out. Can't find a replacement. Has anyone replace one with a Saginaw pump? Found some bracket kits on jimautoparts.com., but not sure if they would work. Guessing the hose and pulley would be different also.

I picked up a set of dual hood scoops that supposedly came off a 71' Demon. They have the OE stamps under, so they are original. But all the dual scoops I have owned or seen had 340 emblems on the side. These have none and no holes for the emblems. Was this an option to have or not have the...
I just purchased some cool rear bumblebee stripe kit from challengergary. My first time installing. Any helpful tips? I was told wax removal first & spray lots of soap water. Trunk doesn't look too hard. I was more concerned about the quarters.
I was interested in those thumbwheel radios that have been converted to high output. I found one website that has 68' & 69' "B" body thumbwheel radios for sale. Crazy question, will these fit in at 68' Dart dash?
I bought these with the intentions of using them on a future project. Too many future products, too little time and $$$. Hood scoops are fiberglass reproductions. No OE part numbers stamped. No bezels. Scoops are in good shape. Several scratches and nicks, but nothing major. A couple of the nut...

Is it possible to have a B/E-body 4 speed installed in an A-body? I've bought a 68' 383 4spd Dart years ago and pretty much parked it. The shifter was an aftermarket and installed wrong. Only 1st and 2nd worked, and that's how I limped it home using two gears. I finally decided to work on it...
Got these 14" BBP ralleys with bullet centers. Is there a marking on the rim to show how wide they are? Paint is so thick, can't seem to find anything. Did these come in different widths?
Anyone knows if someone is making stainless steel brake hoses for my 68' Dart GTS. It has manual drum brakes. Don't really want to swap to disc brakes just yet.
Has anyone here picked up this new diecast car from Highway 61? I wanted to know before I order it if the taillights are like the 71. They use the (wrong) same grill for their 70' Dart version, so I was wondering if they changed the rear bumper/tailight for their 71'.
I was looking for a spare trunk lid and found a guy on a different island with a 68' 4dr Dart. Are the trunk lids interchangeable between 2drs and 4drs? Mine is a 2dr hardtop, not post.
Well I finally made up my mind and sadly sell my 68 GTS project car. It's been sitting awhile at my parents house for a number of years and I don't think I'll ever get to it. Hopping to sell her to an A-Body guy who can start & finish her right...
I have been sitting on this car for awhile and asking for some input. I have a 68' Dart GTS 383 4spd that needs a lot of work. Car has been sitting at my parents house under a garage for 10 years. Haven't started the car in 8 years. Car is in primer, complete. Looks like the original 383...
Anybody knows if Chrysler had a clock option for the 68' Dart? I just purchased this car and it had a small pedestal mounted clock on the auto floor console. I've seen factory tachs on the 66' ish Coronets mounted in the same area. There is no factory part number I can find on the clock...
Just picked up a 68' GTS and the dog dish hubcaps are polished. Anyone can recommend what red paint to use on the small circle and the emblem? Brush or spray?
I got some unexpected gremlins that came with my recently purchased car. I bought a 68' 340 GTS Dart. (automatic) The engine has been converted to electronic ignition (4-pin module),Accel coil (stk. size one), stock electronic distributor, 2-pin resistor (changed) and mechanical fuel pump. The...

Actively been out of the mopar scene for a little while. Been sitting on a project car (68' 383 GTS) for awhile. I was planning on selling her, when a prospective buyer shows up in a 68' 340 GTS (about 90 percent restored). Instead of selling my car, I bought his! Will post some pics later...
