Hi folks. ‘71 Dart, with a blue interior that I have gradually been converting to black. I was going to replace my original blue cloth (perforated) headliner with a new black one. Replacing would also allow for me to weld in some new seat belt attachment points that are a few inches forward...

Original invoice:

As you can see, there is a rubber hose for the rear lines as well. If you need it…

Forgot to add photos!

A couple months ago, I ordered brake parts for a front-brake overhaul. I have a ‘71 Dart, with the front brake conversion done years ago. From Rock Auto, I ordered calipers, pads, hardware, and hoses for what I thought was the correct “fake” car—I told Rock Auto I had a 1979 St Regis 5.9L...

Does the OP still need a set of long bolt-ins? I have a set (uninstalled), from Mancini.

Well, it was a long time ago that I purchased the dash pad but I don’t think it said anything about CARB2 compliance. It never had a odor though. Interesting thought about moisture from outside—while the interior of the car does not smell musty at all, I do have a couple of small leaks around...

What a great question! I don’t think so, but I guess it’s possible. It happens whether I’m driving it or if it’s just sitting in the driveway.

Hi folks. 1971 Dart. About seven years ago, I replaced my cracked dash pad with a quality repro item. Can’t remember exactly from whom I purchased it, but it was one of those well-known places. At about the same time, I got a new Legendary vinyl upholstery, front and back. Ever since about that...

Dang-got plans with the grandkids tomorrow! But thanks.

hi folks. I need the little plastic bezel that surrounds the glove box lock on the basic Dart dash without the wood grain. See photo. Need blue like the photo but will take any color! Thanks!

Flywheel is MacCloud steel neutral balance. Clutch is Centerforce dual friction unit. And no, it was not all balanced as a unit.

Moper- you may be onto something. I did NOT dial-indicate my bellhousing. I thought about it, but I’ve been through that before and it was a lot of trouble for unknown benefit. But I have no chatter at all. Could bellhousing alignment be off so much as to cause pretty significant vibrations in...

Thanks everyone. SSG-yeah that was my initial thought. Two years ago I got that sorted out. It took a couple of shims but it’s right on the money now. Doing that changed the character of the vibration but didn’t eliminate it by any means. Justinp61–you must have been ecstatic when that happened...

Haven’t done that but probably should. I would be FLABBERGASTED to find out that was the cause. It feels very mechanical and very much tied to vehicle speed. Also, when I let off the gas the vibration gets worse, like it’s my driveshaft flopping around. I guess my question is “could I have...
