How much modification was needed to attach the supplied harness to the oem wiring? And did you use the supplied relays, or just splice on the new connectors and call it a day? (I do not currently have the kit but it is very high on my list of possibles due to what I’ve read about them thus far)...

Are you talking about these? I had actually considered them before, but balked at the cost of over $200 per light, which is more than most other options I had found (at least on the Holley website). https://www.holley.com/products/electrical/led_lighting/retrobright/parts/LFRB155

So, it seems like, at least the majority thus far, are saying the yota lenses and bulbs from the kit, plus crackedbacks relay kit is going to be a substantial improvement over what I have, and likely functionally equal a reasonable LED set? If so, how difficult of an installation are we...

I searched the number and found a few. Mostly on eBay. So are yall saying that kit plus a relay kit is better than or at least equal to an LED kit? The rake stance of my dart will almost guarantee I’m not blinding anyone, but the factory headlights, even brand new ones, were so poor, that my...

Afternoon guys and gals! 1973 dodge dart custom, factory headlights/firing. so in the process of upgrading all around, I am going to upgrade my headlamps (they need replaced either way). What aftermarket led ornotherwise very bright lights or kits have you had success with? I am fine if...

Is there an advantage for my purposes to have the cooler temp range plug?

That’s the same reason I still run them! Haha. I believe mine are currently the 14 series though and not the 12. Is there an actual functional difference in a street car between the two?

with regard to the NGK, is the v power copper, platinum, or standard copper any better than each other? Their cost appears to be within .50 of each other per plug, which seems odd.

Howdy howdy guys and dolls! 1973 dodge dart custom, pepped up 360, largely stock ignition system, air gap intake, deep rock 650cfm 4brl carb. Continuing on my revamp of my dart, I have heard it said a few times over the years that my choice of spark plug could be better. In every mopar I’ve...

Is there a rule of thumb for when taller shocks would be needed or not? At most I would do the 2.5 springs from general spring, as I don’t believe I would need higher than that, as I also intend to cut back the fender lip a bit to clear the sidewalls better as well.

This may sound dumb, but it’s been so long since I did any height modification on a older car so I want to be certain, if I did say the 2.5 lift springs, super stock springs, or any taller springs of any kind, would I need to buy some kind of “larger” shocks, or would any shock that was rated...

As an aside, if anyone has any pictures or side views of their 73 dart (or similar overall body stance dart) with the 2.5 or other leafs with lift that would be helpful. Mine are the oem and have functionally been sitting with no shocks buffering them for about 10 years. So it’s hard to compare...

I did discover these after a bit of searching, that purport to give 2.5 inch lift over factory? Would they be an improvement over factory (aside from just in height) or would other options possibly be better? These seem quite cheap as well at around $185 per side. 1964 - 1976 Dart, Valiant /...

The car will primarily be used on street, possibly very limited track/drag use, and likely juking and jiving on road race use when feeling froggy. Mainly want to improve handling, clearance, and stance.

Afternoon all! After finally sorting out the ecm, radiator, and ballast resistor with y’all’s help, I have another beats to tackle So, I am looking for recommendations on rear leaf springs and rear shocks . 1973 dodge dart custom, 360, 904, with soon to be 8.25 rear (but currently 7.25)...
