Incredible, there's not a single A Body Dart panel. How can nobody make a fender for one of the most popular cars Chrysler ever made? The problem with buying a used one, especially sight unseen, is that you never really know what you're getting into in terms of body work.

I'm contemplating restoring my 1970 Dart Swinger 340 and I'm trying to figure out the costs for parts/paint. I've got a crew to do the work, just need to find the parts. Where do you guys recommend I look for: 1. Front driver's fender (new and used)? 2. Rear quarter panels and/or repair metal...

So it sounds like Centerforce is the best thing to use. After a quick search it appears I need the Centerforce DF269739 for my 1970 Swinger 340. I'm getting prices of about $350, which is about 3x what I'm getting from Rock Auto non Centerforce clutches. Does that sounds right? If I were to...

I'm replacing the original clutch in my 1970 Dart Swinger 340 w/4 speed. Any recommendations as to the replacement unit I should buy? I see there are a few clutch kits out there but figured someone might have experience with one over the other. Ideally I'd like to keep it as close to original...

Sounds great. I've finally got the '70 340 Swinger running like a charm (almost) and if I can find someone else to drive, I'll bring the '75 Swinger, too. It will be cool to meet my fellow Austin MOPAR wackos. Corey

The 10" Wagner drums from Rock Auto worked out great. It was a helluva job since nothing on the brakes had been touched since the early 70's. Turns out I was pretty close to death judging by the wear/warping and rust we found. I did manage to find a guy in Long Island, NY who claims to have...

Awesome. I found the Carter at Rock Auto for $21.79 and I'm ordering it now.

I'm looking to replace the fuel pump on my '70 Dart Swinger 340 with something as close to stock as possible. I'm pretty sure it's got the original fuel pump on there now. Any suggestions? Is there a MOPAR fuel pump still in production?

damnimcooltom, you are THE MAN. Just ordered them. Fingers crossed they get here by Friday.

wawarnick, this is the only one online ad Advance, and it doesn't say the size: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Brake-Drum---Rear-Wearever_25989509-P_2353_R|GRPDRUMAMS_989464961___ That what you ordered?

Can anyone help? I'm looking for the 10" rear drums for a 1970 Swinger 340, discs up front. Nobody seems to have this part anymore... only the 9". The only place I've been able to find it is O'Reilly Auto Parts and they are $96 each. If all else fails, I've got to bite the bullet and get...

I'm now looking for brake stuff - drums, rotors, wheel bearings, wheel seals, caliper crossover hydraulic tubes. Any good place online for those? I need to order ASAP!

How about suspension.com and summit racing? Have you used either of those, or heard anything good/bad about them?

Thanks, crackedback. I checked out both Jack's and Dante's and save them in my favorites. Got any others I should check out?

Very interesting... so the "L" designation to the "A" engines (hence Lightweight A) applied to all 340's including the one in my car. There was no LA engine option, it's simply that the 340 was one of the new for '67+ lightweight engine designs called "LA". I get that right?
