Did you convert your column from column shift to floor shift or was your car factory floor shift? I found a foam seal in mine but is was farther up on the steering shaft. Very possible it moved up there on disassembly. Is there somewhere that reproduces the foam seal and plastic ring?

I am currently in the process of rebuilding the steering column in my Scamp and I am converting the car from column shift to floor. I have looked at every parts catalog I could find online and can not find a lower bearing for a column shift, just floor shift. I also have searched the post here...

Thank you 6pk2goDemon, that is what I thought too. I just want to make sure that is right. Spending $185 per side plus shipping and have it be worse to make the 72 tracks work is not something I particularly want to do.

I bought a pair of 73 model bucket seats for my 72 Scamp. Classic Industries shows 70-72 bucket seat tracks I can buy new but they say they would require modification to fit the 73 seat. Does anyone know about how hard it would be to modify my 73 seats to fit the 72 seat tracks? I think it would...

That would make sense because the stud is roughly an inch away from the dimple giving more clearance for a converter. The guy I bought them from said they were out of a 73 Scamp, I have no way to prove that right or wrong. I figured they were out of a Duster, because the pattern of the covers...

I have a 1972 Plymouth Scamp 318/904. It originally had a bench seat and I just today started to mount the bucket seats I bought at the Mopar Nationals. The seats are supposedly out of a 1973 Scamp. I found the dimples in the floor where the factory would have mounted bucket seats and drilled to...

I'm glad you and 72bluNblu mentioned this. I had no idea the KB 167 has a required ring gap. Didn't look for a spec or info sheet before I sent them to the machine shop for the the boring to be done. The The problem with decking the block and why I was asking, was the machine shop my block is at...

My 318 out of my Scamp is currently at the machine shop getting checked and bored. I was wondering if anyone here has built a 318 and if they would go with zero deck or just leave the clearance stock? I will be using KB 167 .30 over pistons, stock length SCAT forged rods, file to fit rings, 360...

Good question, I have no idea. I'm going to say no because the 2.4l in the Darts are multi air with electronic intake valve solenoids instead if a camshaft. I suppose the bottom end may interchange.

Yes, the turbo kit is for the 2.4. I believe it can be installed on any new Dart with no internal modifications, but I am not sure. I never personally looked them up, just going off what my brother has said. I have a 72 Scamp so no need to look up parts for a new Dart lol. He buys the parts I...

Yes I agree as well. He looked at a 1.4 turbo but he decided if he was going to spend the money on a new car he wanted the biggest engine available and wanted to special order it. He first choice was and RT Challenger but insurance and price of the car shut that down quick.

His is a 2.4 6 speed.

MRGTX, there is a company called modern performance that produces a kit to make the hood functional. His actually has the kit on it but it was designed for Mopars cold air intake and his has a injen on it. So the kit doesn't seal like it would with the Mopar intake but still blows that colder...

He finally got his new Mopar Sport hood that some 16' and 17' Dart models have. I convinced him to do the satin black to give it the classic Mopar look, I think it came out great. The new Darts get ridiculed for the name because people don't feel they are "Dart's" and should have been called a...

Well I also thought about building the 318 that came out of the car into a 390. Has anyone ever built or know of one? and how much hp and torque? I'd like to get 350-400hp and about the same in torque with keeping it naturally aspirated.
