1970 Dodge Dart - $5000 for the car or $7500 for the car and extras (see below) 135K miles Have owned since 1998 Suspension/brakes - Manual Disk/drums off a 73 Dart sport, braided steel soft brake lines, 15x6 AM torque thrust D's, Cooper tires (lots of tread, have like 5 miles on them, but...

It's a 70 with a mild 360. 72 block, J heads, .030 over, about 9.5:1 compression, Edelbrock Airgap intake, Demon 625cfm carb, MP electronic distributor, and a Comp 268 cam (if I remember correctly, I'd have to dig up the cam card). 727 was rebuilt about 15 years ago (no leaks), good steels and...

So my 84 D150 has slowly degraded to the point of needing several major repairs. I am mulling around some ideas of what to do with it since I can't spend the money right now. It is a 318/727/9 1/4 with a suregrip and 3.23's. 318 is pretty much stock with the exception of an Edelbrock dual plane...

It was due for it's state inspection, so I decided to put the Go Pro in it since I didn't have any video of it yet. Dart drive.m2ts - YouTube

There was a rod show in a local arena, as a byproduct lots of people bring their cars out and cruise one of the strips in downtown Austin. This was one of my favorites cause of the flatty and bass boat paint interior. These...

My truck has been giving me fits lately with randomly not having spark. It has finally gotten to the point where it isn't firing up at all. While trying to track down the problem today I found the coil is seeing 5 volts in the run position, but only 8 while cranking. The contacts in the plugs on...

I swapped a new Speed Demon onto my Dart as the Road Demon that was on it doesn't match my cam specs. I ran the Road Demon on my old 318 and it was always great, ran fine on the 360 also. This one however is killing me. It is running stupid rich at idle, I can't get it to idle below 1500 rpms...

Finally installing my Airgap on the Dart. I have the bypass hose fitting and heater hose fitting from Mancini. Should I put antiseize on the threads or silicone? Thanks

There is a guy local to me that has this model for sale: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_126122_126122 Anybody here have one or used one? I figure it would be pretty useful for when I have to do suspension and brake work on my wife's Golf and my Subaru since they don't...

Snuck out of the house a couple weeks ago and picked this up: Hope the wife likes it, since it is her anniversary present. I'm going to give it to her next month. It's a 67 T code car with a 302/3 speed/9" and all new suspension underneath. It needs about a thousand little things...

Took my 70 to the track last October. Best time was a 14.34 @ 94 mph with a 2.2ish 60 foot. I was driving on Arizonian 235/70/15 street tires (yeah, truck tires) at 35 psi. The thing that got me was the engine fell on its face at 5K. So I'm thinking the bottleneck might be the carb, but I don't...

I have a pretty mild setup that still seems to be getting hot. Stockish 360, probably about 10:1 compression, mild cam (Comp XE 268 IIRC), J heads with stock valves and an old Edelbrock single plane. I have a home made shroud that covers the fan blades and will suck a shop towel up against the...

Last night I took my 70 to the track for the first time since 2000. Best et: 14.31 @ 94 mph with a 2.19 60ft Best trap: 14.43 @ 97.74 with a 2.39 60ft Car is totally out of balance and the tires must be made out of axle grease, first gear was completely useless, which is ironic...

Thinking about getting an Autometer 3992 speedo, can I buy one of the screw-on type speedo cables (67 and older style) to use on it? I have the plastic clip on style now, and it won't stay connected, even though the clip isn't broken. I figure I might as well go all the way because the speedo is...

Somehow I have a gopher, I didn't even know they existed in central Texas, but it seems I have one. How can I kill this bastard? He is digging in the part of my land that is soft and loamy sand (under my carport, yay). He makes the piles, but then come back and fills in the holes shortly...

In reference to this thread: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=47825 I finally got tired of chasing leaks every couple of weeks, and the final straw was the gaskets started leaking again on the fuel pump. So I ordered a new pump and now the fittings are seeping fuel on...

I decided to swap my 4.10's/Detroit locker out for my 3.23 sure grip set in my 70 so that I could go the track tomorrow. First two of my 3" Moroso studs sheared off (even though I've had them off recently), then while pressing the busted studs out the axle flange bent. Deciding to press on I...

I'm had an issue crop up on my 70. Whenever I hit 4K rpms (any gear) it stumbles pretty hard like its got a rev limiter on it. I initially thought it was an ignition problem until I pulled the plugs and saw that they were kinda white. I am running one of those clear parts store universal filters...

They look a lot like Edelbrocks but are a lot cheaper. I was thinking about getting one as long as it isn't a China knockoff. Anyone know?

My 70 has a cooling problem and I don't know where to start with it. I can cruise along at 60-70 MPH and it doesn't go above 195 deg. There is a light in town that about two miles before it I have to slow down to 35 MPH before I get to it. I sit at the light, no problem, I cruise through town at...

I'm going to have some time off here pretty soon and I want to get my 70 to the track (hasn't seen the strip since 2000). Problem is, I can only cruise @ about 50mph with the 727 and 4.10's. Which isn't a big deal except the track is 85 miles away one way. How far do you guys drive?

Not so the damn thing could puke fuel all over the place. :mad: Why can't I get a mechanical pump without the stupid "adjustable" part? They all have that, I hate it.

Finally sold it, bought it right at three years ago. Did a bunch of work to it. Guy came and picked it up for his 15 year old son today. Sad to see it go, but now I'll have more time/room to finally get started on my 72 Charger.

On my 84 Ram Charger, bad alt or bad voltage regulator? Thanks EDIT: That's supposed to be charging. :p

I have A body discs on the front and E body drums on the rear of my Dart. Since I was worried about the system being out of balance I put an adjustable valve on the mainline right before the axle. Where is a good starting point for adjusting this thing? Thanks

As much as I hate to, I have other things I want to buy and this 73 is lowest on the list. Has a /6 (super six), 904, 8 3/4 with 2.76 gears in a 741 case. Tires are in excellent shape (front two are new Coopers), refinished (me with a wire wheel and a rattle can) rally wheels with new...

Am I going to have problems?

You know, after you do some major work on your ride, or it burns something up and you fix it, then that next hundred miles or so makes you just a little bit more nervous.

My 73 won't start (crank but not start), I'm not getting any spark while it's cranking. I checked out the ignition unit, ballast resistor, and the voltage regulator. I bought all three new and compared the measurements. The regulator was bad and so was the ignition unit. I replaced them and the...

I have a /6 Charger and I want to get a big block K member for it. I know that some parts on this car will interchange with E bodies, can I use a K member from any B (Coronet, satellite, etc), or do I need one from a Cuda/Challenger? Thanks
