Cliff, I always make it to Mopars at the Mall! Last year there were some of the nicest rides that I have ever seen. If you are looking for me, just look for the Blue 72 with blue plaid bucket seat interior. You won't see another one like it. Where is summer!!!!

Sorry cliff, my Dart started out as a 318. I transplanted the 340 in it as soon as I found one. Hope I didn't give you the wrong impression. I thought I had finished my project but I keep finding new things to do to it, improving every time. Now I see that Peak Dashes has a nice dash cluster set...

I am Central, Daysland to be precise. Sleepy little town but I wake it up once in awhile with my 72 Dart Swinger 340. Been to Mopars at the Mall in Red Deer many times now. Great cars and great people. Don't miss it!

The chrome is faded on my cluster and I would like to see if anyone has a nice clean one for sale. It is for a 1972 Dart Swinger with the 120 mph speedo. I thought about re-doing the chrome trim but what could I use? Most paints are just silver. Any help would be appreciated.

What did they use to get the chrome so nice? Do you still have this piece? PM sent.

Have you tried Stock Interiors? That's where I got my carpet for my 72 Swinger. I have an auto with console and the console carpet kit worked great with a little trimming. The rest of the carpet fit real nice too. Maybe give them a try. StockInteriors.com

Sorry to re-hash this, I didn't realize it had been announced already. Can't wait to see it though.

The interior dash photos look nice, not too much for exterior photos yet. Engines, 2.0 L, 1.4 Turbo or 2.4 L. R/T edition too!

Have you heard about the new Dart for 2013. Looks like it is going to be a compact car, lets hope they do it justice!!! It is to be revealed in January in Detroit. I wished they would have made it a more muscle oriented mid size. Lets see how this turns out!

I am not disputing your claim, I trust you know what you are talking about. I am at .41 degrees positive thrust angle which isn't too much, just a little off zero. I went for another cruise tonight and had my friend drive down the centre of the highway and I could see the passenger front tire...

Thank You, I am aware of the shim pack from Hotchkiss. It is the only way to get the thrust angle back to zero, as far as I can see. There must have been a problem with this or Hotchkiss would not have made a shim kit to correct it. It may be more common than you think. 6pk2goDemon is right, I...

Finally, a straight answer!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

Very well put! Go up a few threads and comment on the measurements that were taken during my alignment. It shows the thrust angle and the rear toe. I am curious to read your findings. Now remember, when I tried to adjust the rear toe, it made it worse.Thanks guys.

I just might do that!

Just one more comment. I did take all of your suggestions and applied them. I got a plumb bob and marked on the floor in different locations, cross checked the measurements and I couldn't find anything that was "glaring" at me. The only thing that I did find out was a string measurement from the...
