Carbs are my kryptonite I just don't understand them. Could you point me in the right direction as to what you are suggesting. Also FYI I have the Super Six two barrel upgrade with a reman Carter.
About a month ago when I put the car in gear (reverse or drive) the whole car vibrates until I take my foot off the brake and accelerate. When in neutral or park it runs fine and only does this when stopped in gear. Also once the car warms up it usually goes away and only happens occasionally...
Hi,
I'm looking for the steering column hub puller because I need to put a new Ing. switch in. I had one of these but I have not been able to find it in the black hole that is my garage. I also looked online and have only been able to find a pic but none for sale . HELP.
A pic.
Another thing to check before you go would be your brakes and front wheel bearings. Unless you have done a brake job on the car since you've owned it even if the brakes look good I would make sure the front wheel bearings are greased well. There are plenty of good suggestions here but remember...
Hi all,
A couple months ago I was driving down the road and went through a dip and when my weight came down on the seat I heard a snap and I sunk into the seat even more. Last weekend I finally pulled out the seat and found two of the front to back of frame springs had snapped at the second...
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. As I said I did find the lines by Right Stuff on Ebay $10 for the parts $26+ for shipping sorry not going to happen. I googled the name and part # and found them on Jegs website $11+ part $9 handling so they are on order. When they get here I'll let you know...
Thanks for the suggestions I did see lines by Right Stuff on Ebay that are supposed to be for the car but there were a couple of different versions. I went to Right Stuff web sight but could not find them there.
Yote I'll look into that but looking at them and doing a wrenching on them I'm not...
I picked up a 71 Dart /6 a couple of weeks ago. It hasn't been on the road since 2004. It does run and drive but the brakes are really bad, the fluid in the M/C was brown and nasty. It's a manual all drum brake car that I'm going to keep for now. I all ready bought the M/C and W/Cs and rubber...
The Duster won't be jealous it's my daily driver and will always come first when in need.
No it's not the original. I was told it was in a accident and the original owners had it almost totally repainted. The engine compartment was not painted the original color is B5 blue.
Thanks for the tip...
Saturday I picked up a 71 /6 auto Dart. It's going to need some work before it can hit the road but I think I got a good deal for what I paid. It runs and drives but needs a gas tank (good used one included) and all systems checked and gone through mostly the brakes. I popped off the M/C cap and...
When you had the engine rebuilt did you have a new oil pump put on if not try removing the oil pressure relief valve and clean the spring and plunger. My 73 started doing the same thing and after I cleaned it I haven't had any problems since.
If you keep it get a new filter for it which goes in the bottom.

When you get it done go with 2" or 2.25" pipe this will make it breath a little easier and your motor will thank you. Also it will help when you get a 2bbl and electronic ign.
Flipping the front hanger changes the angle of the rear end and then you will have to shim the axle to get the correct pinion angle in which you will be losing some of your drop. lowering blocks is the way to go but 3" sounds a bit much.
Because you have a 73 if you don't have all the parts for the EGR system it will not work right. It really doesn't aid in warming up the engine. The /6 is a cold blooded engine and runs better with a good warm up. Your best bet is make sure the choke works one step on gas pedal and high idle...
It sounds like your describing the EGR valve. A vacuum line would come from the carb to operate it. Find out what carb. you have and get a diagram to tell you which vac. port to use. As for what it does it allows a small amount of exhaust gas back into the intake to reduce combustion chamber...
The first time I did mine I took a hour only because I triple checked everything. I did have 4 different valves a little on the tight side and as long as you turn down the rpms as suggested there's no big mess. I'm glad I did it because the engine ran so much better after adjustment.
Basically you have it right. Your bottom bracket is bent it should be flat all the way across this will solve your throttle cable problem. Your also missing the bracket for the carb return spring look at the pic SlantSix64 showed. The two holes on the bottom bracket are for a heat riser to the...
