Summit has Energy Suspension brand for $49 and Bouchillon Performance sells theirs for $125. Any suggestions. 370 HP/ 380 torque...

    Vented or non vented fuel cap?

    Figured it out with help of Year One, changed from old style to newer style in June of 71. Our car was built in December of 70 so I got the older style.

    Vented or non vented fuel cap?

    There is a large tube in the trunk that is separate from fill pipe that I assume has something to do with vapor recovery or venting the tank.

    Vented or non vented fuel cap?

    I recently left my fuel cap at a gas station and need to replace it on my 71 Dart. Mega Parts lists non vented cap for 1971 and up and a vented cap for up to 71. How do I determine if I need vented or non vented cap for 71 A body?

    71 Dart Instrument cluster

    Read the post by 67Dart273 on my "Under dash short post" it has a link to a good explanation of why you want to bypass ammeter. The car I am working on now has had the connection at the firewall burn off and a previous owner had the power to ignition switch burn off at steering column...

    71 Dart instrument panel

    Not sure what the voltage limiter is but has to be close judging by the length of the wire. The picture is of a spare instrument panel, I should be able to figure it out before I crawl back under the dash. Thanks

    Compressor gasket problem

    I have my 71 Dart at a local shop for AC compressor replacement. They are having trouble getting the high pressure line fitting to seal on the discharge side of the compressor. The fiber gasket furnished with reman compressor didn't seal at all, they tried a metal gasket and got it down to a...

    I hope to upgrade 71 Dart to power brakes. I purchased a booster unit with bracket and linkage to use for a core and plan on using the bracket etc. The booster I bought is from a 75 Dart and when I look up boosters on Napa the 71 is and 75 Darts take different booster units. Anybody know if...
