I was installing new carpet and wanted nice clean holes for the seat belt bolts, seat posts and the dimmer switch. I used a piece of conduit for the seat posts and the seat belt bolts. A piece of chain link fencing top post was perfect for the dimmer switch. I cut a length of each and sharpened...

I'm beginning the installation in my 70 non-factory air Dart. I bought the perfect fit with the blue tooth diagnostics. It came with Installation Manual 1967-72 Chrysler "A" Bodies, Document #1-3062 Copyright 2021 ClassicAutoAir / 07.21 The booklet looks to have been designed by somebody in...

Reviving this from a year ago maybe it can help someone. I finally got around to moving ahead with my transmission and engine. As they say, life is what happens when you’re making other plans. That tab holding the mount in is very heavy gauge and also very stout. I couldn’t bend it. The mount...

This thread is a couple years old but here’s some information. I too was confused by the felt “donut” so I searched and came up with this thread. Most everybody leaned to putting it on the outside but there were a few who were animate that went inside between the oil slinger and the backside of...

Getting ready to drop the engine and tranny back in my ‘70 318/904 Dart. Rerouting the harnesses and the only one I didn’t get photos or notes of is the harness going to the switch in the tranny. Does a bell housing bolt go through this eyelet attached to the harness? There were three of us on...

Usually a good place to start is to check your grounds. Which fuses were bad? What circuits are they? Did you check the fuses again? If you have a problem with the wiring in that circuit it will just blow again so recheck the fuses. Check the wiring on either side of your bulkhead disconnect...

Any update on the found tags?

I’ll attend a few to look up friends and spectate for sure. I’m not sure if my Dart will be completed by then. I’ll finish cleaning up and priming the engine bay this weekend. Plan to paint it next weekend. The engine is done. The tranny is still in pieces on the bench and in totes. I have...

Love that. Looks pretty solid where it matters.

Our big local show has been cancelled for the second year. Coincidence that the only time I’ve missed was last year with a broken motor. I was thinking I’d have her running for it this year but now the pressure is off a little.

Engine and tranny out of my ‘70 Swinger. I’ve been prepping the engine bay for paint. Engine is done but still have to reassemble the tranny too. I’m replacing the pigtail to my NSS as well. I had a tranny leak and the rubber boot around the terminals is pretty much crap. New switch too...

How was that tab to bend? It looks like you got it cleanly across. I'm thinking Vise Grips or Channellocks.

Reviving this thread. According to the factory manual, you bend the tab. I'll be doing it this weekend to clean up the crossmember but wow, it doesn't look like it's going to easily comply considering the gauge steel it is. I guess until I try I won't know. I don't mind using a big chisel and...

The body is good. We did that a few years ago. Just kept putting off the engine and the engine bay. Rebuilding the engine now so it’s time.

I've got the engine out and am going to paint the engine bay. I've got a couple small areas of rust. The worst is under the washer bottle. I'd like to get some thoughts on products you all use to treat it after cleaning it up but before paint. It's a daily driver/a couple small shows a year...
