Dan You are a wealth of information. The thing is this line in the car now fits both sides. But on the pump side the nut bottoms out & the hose can still move around. I tried a new O-ring but that didn't do it. In the images of the hoses you suggested I see some yellow thing is that a spacer...

The last owner of my 75 Dart SE changed the pump to a federal Pump from a Chrysler pump but not the hose. It leaks. anyone know what the correct fitting for this pump is, as this pump did not come on this year car, & therefor a parts store is no help. Thanks

OK so it looks as though I DID do the conversion right. I got it to start yesterday with some starting fluid, but it would only run for a minute. I then discovered a leak at the base of the Carb. So I will start a new thread with my questions regarding rebuilding the carb & vacuum lines. I...

This story continues under the heading "HEI Conversion Done still not starting"

"I'm going to guess you've had the distributor out at least once, so you've probably checked and approved the condition of its drive pinion (or at least you've verified that the distributor is in fact turning when the engine is cranked), right?" Actually, as lame as this sounds I have not run...

67Dart273 "I don't quite understand your description of the wiring and relay?" The conversion instructions suggested that I use a relay to ensure good power to the HEI From the Instructions "You'll want to add a power relay to guarantee full line voltage to the ignition module at all...

I tried reversing the pickup leads. I can't find my timing light so I haven't had a chance to check that (I know thats a big one). I have not pulled the Distributer to know about the gears. I bought the car two weeks ago & drove it home two hours. It ran a little rough but not bad. We drove it...

Notes to my old problems under the heading "NO Spark at Coil" BTW 75 Dart SE 225 Slant Six I have done the HEI conversion per the instructions found here http://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15779 I now have spark But the car still won't start Now granted when I was...

"Be certain you are measuring the voltage at the KEY side of the ballast and not the COIL side" I checked both sides to be sure.

I just drove the new to me 75 dart home 2 hours the other day & I checked my highway/country road milage & I got 21mpg on my SL6 single barrel that needs a tune up badly. But thats not city driving.

Hi what make is that pump? I have that pump on the dart I just bought & the pressure hose is leaking because the previous owner put on the wrong hose (it doesn't seat right). I would like to know so I can get the right one. Thanks

"Two checks you need to make" Done "Turn key to "run" engine off. clip your voltmeter to the "key side" of the ballast and compare that to battery. You should be within 3 tenths of a volt or better" - At least 1.5 volts less at the key side of the ballast. "Clip voltmeter to...

"Two checks you need to make" I will Check these things these this week. The car is at my workshop (wood shop) & I'm not at it to check tonight. "You say you had the resistor upside down." After the car wouldn't start I started to look around & at a book I have for my truck, that...

Hi everyone, New to your forum, & the 75 Dart SE I just bought for my son. I drove this car 2 hours home on Friday, & around the neighborhood Friday & Saturday with no problems. My intentions were to go through everything before I made this my sons daily driver. However on Saturday after...
