Well here's two pix -- have to get better ones that don't have shadow.

Haven't been on in while but was when the '64 Dart GT convert restoration was going on. Have really enjoyed the experience of driving what I drove in the first half of the 70s... very nostalgic!! That car was recreated exactly. But it was not meant to be an always and forever thing, and I'm in a...

I had my 64 Dart converted from PB auto to 3/tree. new clutch, the whole deal. The clutch pedal is a long travel -- I can get used to that but still it doesn't start to engage until half way (or more) off the floor, and there is no free play at top. I guess I can get used to shifting this...

second pix

This one is in ok condtion -- seen worse... but the mounting studs are broken off ... would have to be mounted with new ones or attached some other way. Or mount it on your garage wall. $30 includes shipping.

I notice front parking lights are not on in 1st position when the rear ones are. But they come on in 2nd position when headlights are on. Was told this was stock wiring pre-66 or 68, altho if true I can't figure out why. Can it be changed so they are on in 1st position?

Well the body shop lost the little front spear trim I am looking and then...........months later I realize something doesn't look right and the DODGE trim that runs the length of the trunk is missing. So I go back w/ pix etc. but it's too late. So I get another off these off ebay -- not as...

I am wondering if my variable speed setup is the reason we can't get an intermittment regulator to work as we have in other cars. If it were possible to convert to a 2 speed setup, maybe that would be the fix. At least with the results i get, the variable speed wasn't all that different

Black steering wheel in my '64 Dart is worn (fortunately not cracked)... Is there any way to get it recoated like new. The chances of an unworn, clean one turning up as a part probably not likely. I know the worn colored ones look worse but I am still trying to improve everthing I can.

Well it appears they are simple enough. But if any one size fits all, off the rack ones are available -- I haven't found one yet, although only started looking. It appears these would although in other thread i started it appears getting aftermarket intermittent wiper units to work on MoPar is...

Are there any aftermarket things you can install to buzz if you leave your headlights on? I guess these were on MoPar staring around 69? or so. But I would like something on my '64 Dart no matter how primitive. I saw on ebay these MoPar buzzers for 70-71 cars.. .adaptable. I am just too used...

Sounds like it would be a big deal then to get intermittent wipers going. I had heard ofa single speed option... like one step up from vacuum operation.... But I remember the 2 set speeds, and but now I am stuck w/ this dopey variable setup.

64 Dart specific -- were some wipers 2 fixed speeds (slow / fast) and then maybe others had an option of (an attempt, anyway) of variable speed. I recall my 64 Dart of decades ago had 2 set speeds. The one now has this variable speed thing --and it's not all that great. Reason I ask is that a...

It's all over the place even w a nearly full tank. I am guessing it is the sending unit, anyway. not the gauge itsself. Some say old ones can have ther contacts, etc cleaned and be brought back . Others say there are new replacements but they all suck and pretty inaccurate right from the...

Ok they lastedi in to the 80s for trucks, but what about passenger cars?
