Hey, sorry I missed this for so long. I loved my Dart, I sold it last Fall. I was in a crash in my Honda S2000, an elderly person pulled right out in front of me and I totaled my car. Bad enough in the Honda, by luck I wasn't driving the Dart. I decided to focus on my 64 Airstream and let...

Hey, thanks for all this. We ended up with the battery Tender, which is working well.. even kind of topping up the battery when the alt. won't. It's an Alfa, what can I say. So now we're looking at one for a jeep that sits for 6 months every year unused at a summer cabin. I'm not comfortable...

hey- does anyone have experience with trickle chargers to keep up batteries in cars that aren't used often? My father in law is looking for one and found one on line, but I like to get some word of mouth recomendations for stuff like this. I did see one mentioned in another thread here, an...

hey, how much do you want for it? I found a place through a guy who is a friend of a friend, the guy being a machinist who has rebuilt engines for 50 years, and I'm taking it down on, yikes, tomorrow. I'm interested, being rural it helps to have spares. Peter

so, do you know anyone who rebuilds them? I had THIS one rebuilt by a guy in Santa Rosa, who was supposed to knowledgeable but the thing dumps gas out of the top tube all the time, smokes and has other problems. This isn't the original, but a later replacement of the same type.

hey, I need to get a replacement carb for my 318, and I want to stay with the 2bbl, keeping it stock. Any recommendations for new/rebuilt/rebuild kits and suppliers would be a great help. thanks Peter

I've rebuilt and had the original two barrel carb put back on my '68 318, but there are issues I'm trying to sort out. Cold starting, I have to just depress the gas til I hear the butterfly open in the carb and the choke set, rather than flooring it. If I floor it, it floods and won't start...

Did get the Bouchillion kit, had it installed and adjusted it myself. Now the thing works great, downshifts, holds gears longer under acceleration. I love how simple these cars are. The water in the oil was condensation.

Hey, thanks. P

Hi- I want to replace the underhood decals that were removed when the PO painted the car. I'm looking for the emission info, timing, battery,coolant etc decals. thanks

I'll try the one on the motor first. There is one on the switch too? thanks Peter

Okay, so the resistor is the porcelain thing on the wiper motor?

Hi, thanks, I'll try both those. Peter

weird, in 1975 Plymouth offered 7 shades of brown! Ahhh, the 70s.

I don't know if this gives you the right info, but http://www.mymopar.com/tools.htm has paint chip info with the codes. Peter
