Wow, that’s more than I read in highschool. Thanks for the enormous amount of information. Some I understand and some I don’t (but I got a guy who can put it in perspective) I was running 355’s at 2900 the same as you and went to 323’s. Having said that the car acted the same. Drive 1/2 hour at...

I have seen replacement antennas but not just the cable. I am on the hunt. Thanks for the tip

Hello Mopar Brothers and Sisters. I have a 71 Dart that had no radio when I bought the car. I was able to locate an am/fm radio for an A body (71’ Dart was am only). The previous owner removed the radio and CUT off the antenna wire FRaaaaaak. I am aware that there is an aftermarket fm booster...

It could be anything, I won’t know until I talk my son into crawling around for me. We won’t stop until we find it. I would still like to know how to test the switch. If the wire is located it will still blow if the switch is bad

I don’t want to agree, but I know you are right. My son is more agile (hahaha) and very electrical savvy. I think the issue is under the dash and we have to start at the panel and start following wires until the culprit presents itself. Thanks for the advice RonD

Just startin. I figured before I bend my old *** trying to find a ghost, I would start with the first step “is the switch ok”

Hello Mopar brothers and sisters, I am having an issue blowing the fuse for the instrument cluster on my Dart. “Mattax” sent be a great (simplified) drawing of the layout of the switch pins as they relate to me. I removed the headlight switch and I am looking for someone that can provide a way...

There is a hole for the shoulder belt (The original is still in the bracket on the ceiling). They were obviously replaced to a simple lap belt only at some point. Looking to upgrade to a retractable lap/shoulder combo. Thanks for the response

Hello Mopar brothers and sisters, I have a 71 Dart with bucket seats (probably was a bench seat originally). I am looking for someone with experience who has upgrading front seatbelts. What works, and what doesn’t. I am looking to go to a lap/shoulder retractable system for bucket seats To...

Thanks for the detailed step by step. If I can’t find a simple solution I will use this as a guideline to remove the dash board.

Good point. I will put that on the hunting list to check for. Thanks

BAMM. I love pictures. This info will narrow down the hunt. Thanks RonD

That is more than I read in highschool…… thanks for the extensive details. No radio (radio was removed). The car is a 440 conversion with a B&M floor shifter. The fuse that blows is the bottom of the fuse panel (going by memory). On a good note I still have park lights (just losing dash lights...

Haha, I saw what it takes to remove the cluster. I think you have to drop the steering column and remove the dash. That is far past my skill set. I will be hoping for a smaller issue. This is the last case scenario.
