Sorry, had a work emergency and been pulling a lot of overtime. I'll give you a call tomorrow after 5pm est if that's ok.

I am interested if it's still in a working condition. Your phone number was "removed by staff" in the previous post. When I try to "start a conversation" with you it gives me an error and says you mailbox is full.

Do you still have this harness? My 74 dart swinger up and fried on me going down the road yesterday. The harness is baked from the alternator to the ammeter. The system won't let me send you a message. This is the only way I can see to try to reach you. let me know if you still have it. Thanks

You guys better be glad my wife doesn't read this forum.

The guy I bought it from told me he put new shocks on it a few months before I bought it. They look new. I thought the shocks controlled the rate of decent when it compresses, not the actual height it sits at. Am I wrong? Do the shocks and the torsion bars control the ride height?

Hi All, I picked up a 74 dart swinger about 6 months ago. She's in really great shape for 40 years. I drive it daily to work 80 miles both ways. I'm usually the only person in the car. About a month ago I started noticing that the passenger side dips a lot more than the driver's side when I...
