    1969 Daily Driver

    From one daily driven 4-door to another...congratulations! By far my Dart has been the best car I've ever owned. My '68 gets about 8000 miles a year (with points still), and so far has been to about 15 states.

    Weird clicking sound as I accelerate out of corners.

    Hey guys, thanks for all the replies. Life has been crazy so I didn't check back on this til just now. Yes, it is an exhaust leak...I didn't have the clamp tight enough on the pipe going into the muffler.

    Weird clicking sound as I accelerate out of corners.

    Thanks for the replies everybody! I'm pretty sure it's not Ujoint or diff-related since the sound is coming from the front half of the vehicle. More observations: -comes from front half of vehicle -is not exhaust-related (except possibly where it bolts to the manifold, haven't checked) -the...

    Weird clicking sound as I accelerate out of corners.

    Experiencing an odd effect here. My car is running fine, but when I accelerate out of corners, there's a metallic clicking noise that is very loud. It only clicks while I have my foot on the gas; when I let off it goes away and doesn't come back. It sounds like something may be making contact...

    What is the top speed of this Valiant

    I can't speak for a 170, but I've done 105 on level ground in my 225/904/2.76 Dart. It's stock aside from a 390 Holley. Top speed with a passenger was 98, also on level ground. Given that, plus the 170's lower power but willingness to rev, I'd say 90 is feasible.

    Extremely random, weak spark; sometimes no start

    My Dart was running fine after the carb rebuild...for a couple weeks at least. Now it won't start! Last drove I noticed a severe miss had started, but only at highway speeds and higher in the rev range. Got it home and now it wont start at all. Points look ok, and I can hear/occasionally see a...

    Another non-A-body Slanty application!

    Just stumbled across this iad: KALAMAZOO K TRUCK HAULSTER YARD CART FLATBED 1984 CHRYSLER SLANT 6 MATERIAL - RAILIRON--USED RAILROAD EQUIPMENT FOR SALE OR LEASE According to the research I did, these things were actually more common overseas, but were often used stateside in the rail and...

    Interesting Slant Build! (EDIT: not a Slant, sorry)

    Not an A-body, but cool nonetheless. Guy repowers an Allis Chalmers tractor with a /6. Allis WD repower Dodge - Machine Builders Network EDIT, crap wrong story. I should have read back through that forum to see it was a 318. HERE's an AC with a /6: WD 46

    Stumble on the highway

    Hoping y'all could help me out here. The car runs fine at idle, around town, etc. but randomly will start missing once warmed up good on the highway. My first guess is ignition related since this just started after my wife took it through a car wash. I'm assuming something got wet, but haven't...
