Hi Guys !
I have a 68 Dart Gt with the factory 318, automatic transmission and factory a/c. It's been restored now for about 5 years. I have had to put two alternators on this car - they are NAPA reman alternators - and now it need another as it is not putting out the correct amps - it's under...
Hey Guys
Well - it's been a long road but the Dart is Finally running again ............ Thank you for all the suggestions and help. I tried all the suggestions and after replacing the carburetor, coil & ballast resister and multiple checks on fuel, timing and a host of other idea's it turned...
Hey Dartswinger70 -
I have not rebuilt this engine - the only thing I had to do was take the intake off and have it cleaned because it was plugged with carbon - I have not replace anything internal - checked compression on each cylinder and right at 125 to 150 lbs of pressure and I had a new...
Thank You Everyone !

Thanks Guys - I'll try all your suggestions - it is a stock engine - didn't have to rebuild it - like I said - everything bolt on this engine is new - did check for vacuum leak and had a loose hose so put a clamp on it but made no difference - was hoping that was the problem ..... Thanks again...

Thank You KitCarlson- thanks for explaining - I guess I will start by tracing wires an checking grounds to make sure those aren't a factor
thanks again!
Mike
Hey KitCarlson - thank you - the engine was warm because I started the car to warm up because I needed to turn the car around in the garage - plus it had not been started in about a month since I was upholstering the seats and repair the dash paint at the bottom of the cluster where I had messed...
Hey Guys,
just finished putting a new temp gauge in the cluster of my 68 Dart GT - old one didn't work but once and then never again - bought the new gauge from Classic Industries - everything hooked up and cluster back in dash. When I turn on the key - the temp gauge needle goes all the way...
Hey Everyone,
Has anyone repainted the black "Dodge" lettering on the trunk finish panel? Is there any type of stencil that matches the lettering that I can use to mask off the lettering so I can repaint the black?
