    Alignment Woes

    72bluNblu..... that's BRILLIANT!! I like those numbers. I can just say I'm getting senile in my older years and completely mistook my 2013 Dart <wink-wink> for a '74. I thought they asked was year I was. Very helpful. You guys are awesome.

    Alignment Woes

    Dang it. Thank you for your feedback 72bluNblu and replicaracer43. I DID....specifically......tell them not to use factory specs for the reason you guys listed above. I must have told them 4 or 5 times that the original specs were out of date. I did not forget to tell them that. They said if I...

    Alignment Woes

    Answers to replied questions: 1) I did NOT have the lobes of the bolts facing up. They were horizontal when I went in as I had the rear bolts as far in as possible and the fronts as far out as possible. 2) Yes, it is a power steering car. Supplemental: Is it ok to have both sides set the the...

    Alignment Woes

    Hello All. I'm looking for feedback on a recent alignment I had performed (yesterday actually). I'm pretty sure I'm not happy with it. I will provide the car details to hopefully head off some questions at the pass. 1) The car I'm working on is a 1974 Dodge Dart Swinger, Factory 318 car with...

    A-body LCA 67-72 vs 73-76 differences?

    Junkyardhero, that is great information, thank you. I will take all of it into consideration. I'd prefer to install a factory style setup, which is exactly why I'm trying to learn these differences. I understand your point about location not making a significant difference. Guess it was just my...

    A-body LCA 67-72 vs 73-76 differences?

    THAT is the info I'm looking for cudamark. You have highlighted that there is a difference in the mounting tab location based on year. Thank you.

    A-body LCA 67-72 vs 73-76 differences?

    So why I want to weld on my own is because the tabs are at the end of the arm. Most aftermarket bars use that bolt in "L" bracket at the shock bolt which is inboard of the factory location. I want to use the factory location because that LCA sway bar mount location is like a cheater bar. The...

    A-body LCA 67-72 vs 73-76 differences?

    Can someone tell me what the difference is between 67-72 A-body LCA's and 73-76? I want to install sway bar brackets on my '74 (which did not come factory equipped with any). I want to buy the type you have to weld on because I personally don't like those bolt on "L" brackets that come with...

    How to connect these defrost hoses

    I have not found this to be the case at all. Working on a 74 Dart Swinger Factory AC car. The outlet from the box and the plastic dash vent are the same. I placed the original vent over the box outlet and they are the same diameter. I got a pair of aftermarket vent hoses (and adapters) to...

    Prices are getting out of hand. Even at Autozone...

    This is one of available options I found when searching for a 318 cap and rotor online.

    318 Scratch free cam install. The hard way.

    No, I had a helper. The left and right centering stays the same, the arc of the boom lowering is what I have to account for so I divided the length of arc I need by 2 and started on the high side of the arc so the forward and aft movement was minimal. What helped here is the weight of the cam...
