It's a little bittersweet after all that work on the 67 but I couldn't pass up the Super Bee. The Dart went as part of the deal. We still have A bodies in the shop but I'm without now.

He believes it was bought new in Ontario then went south in the mid 70's... Colorado possibly and then Florida ... until this year.

Rarely see a fender tag this exciting! lol

I know it's not an A body but this rolled through the shop today... That's a sweet ride!

It's true, you don't NEED a 408 or a 4" stroke. Same can be said for many things we do. 500+ lbs torque is so much fun though!

I had a 67 Fairlane with the same issue. Web search will provide some info. Try this stuff instead of grease on your door pins and trunk latch... it's solved a few squeaks for me over the years.

Like someone asked, what is the application? For my street only application; I've had 3.55s in my Dart for a year now. With 245 60 15 tires you can't floor it under 40ish mph without lighting them up. I love it but I want a better highway cruise. I'm going to switch to 3.23. A 408 doesn't need...

Ok I lied, it wasn't a 'wrap' just yet. I've added a front sway bar... a Hellwig 5906. It tightened the cars feel quite a bit in the turns and going down a bumpy road it feels like it tracks better. Great addition, the car is a blast to drive! I recommend this to anyone thinking about it...

I installed a HW 5906 last weekend. Looks great, nice hardware, bolted right up... only thing I had to do was make the holes in the k-member a bit bigger. Tightened the feel of the car right up... a little pricey here in Canada but what isn't? Cheers End of my thread has a few pics. 67 Dart...

Thanks everyone. I've decided on the Hellwig 5906.

Can anyone tell me what's the best choice for an aftermarket sway bar? I've read about them but there's conflicting results. I need a 'kit' as the car never had one... and stock stuff isn't available around here. Is it Hellwig or Hotchkis and that's it? Pricey stuff (I'm in Canada). It's a stock...

Maybe the last post on this one. Bugs are all worked out... it drives great! 6000 rpm shifts get the old heart pumpin'! Roll control is fun too! :) I'll probably put a front sway bar on it but other than that, this one's a wrap!

I have another from a friends car. 340, comp cam, no exhaust info.

A friend is about to embark on his 70 Dart project. Cam selection is coming soon. Please share a sound clip of your combo if you have one. Any info you have too like engine, cam and exhaust. I'll go first... 408, Lunati 704, Flowmaster 50.

I agree... the lopey cam doesn't mean what it used to. Technology changed all that. I know a smooth running Corvette will beat my Dart but I don't like them. Personally, I'm stuck in the 70's and 80's anyways. I love those purple cammed 440 4000 pound barges running 13's ... and Led Zeppelin...
