I got part #70-2752-81 which is for a car with vinyl top I believe

I am in the process of replacing my rear window seal on my 1972 Dart with a vinyl top. I ordered a replacement seal from Steele. When I put the glass into the seal per the instructions (1st step) the seal appears to be too large and won't stay on the glass. It will bunch up in the last...

Thanks for the suggestions. Are the votes for 2-stage due to the difficulty of laying out metallic with a single stage? I am just wondering if a single stage satin would be a little more forgiving in that regard. Vinyl wrap would be out because this is a complete color change and I will be...

Hello, I am looking for a bit of advice. I will be painting my 72 Dart soon in my garage and I am trying to decide on paint. I am going with a metallic champagne type of color. I am kind of burned out on really shiny paint, so I am looking at satin/matte options. I was originally looking at...

Forgot to mention yes I did torque the bolts property and also coated the ones that go into the water jacket. However, perhaps I did not coat those bolts enough and maybe that it where it is leaking from? Mine is a A/C car so it is kind of hard to see with everything in the way

Sorry to jump on somebody's else's post, but I have a question about this. I recently installed a new water pump on my slant. I coated the outside paper gasket on both sides with sealant. However, I had to leave the inside gasket that came sandwiched between the metal plate dry because I...

Yep, you guys nailed it. A bad ground was causing the current follow up the brake/turn signal lead when I turned the lights on. I ran a new dedicated ground wire to each bulb socket and now things are working correctly. I would not have figured that out on my own. Thanks for the help and...

Thanks for the responses. I was wondering if it might be a ground issue myself, but I traced the brown and black wires all the way up to where they connect behind the drivers side kick panel and I am getting power to both wires up there when the headlights are on. Therefore, it seems to me...

Hi guys, I am a fairly new owner of a 72 Dart and I am having some issues with my tail lights. I have 3 wires that connect with the rear tail assemblies, a violet (goes back up light) and a brown and black which go to the tail/brake/turn light (1157 bulb). I get power to the brown wire when...
