I did the ammeter bypass, and the fuel gauge IVR upgrade all at the same time, its not that difficult. I had originally started a thread regarding my fuel gauge, and got steered towards doing the upgrade, which Im glad I did Fuel gauge wiring question

what a handsome boy! and yes, thats all that matters, as long as he has a forever home! Hes definitely at home it appears :)

I did it, it wasnt that hard, taking the dash bezel out is the biggest pain(not bad though), but you would have to pull it anyways to replace the gauge right?

@RustyRatRod I dont know how to react to that, thats just horrible, but so good on you for saving him, Id buy you a beer if we were closer :thumbsup:

Ive always thought that there is a special place in hell for someone who would do something like that “If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.” Saint Francis of Assisi You...

Have you considered doing the ammeter bypass in your car? If your gauge crapped out, why not just do the bypass and have a safer and more reliable system?

That is very sad news indeed. I never knew her, or even conversed with her, but from what I have gathered over my short time here, is that she is a very nice person, and it sucks when bad things happen to good people. My thoughts are with her as well.

Probably not. When I bought my Swinger, i noticed that it had oil leaking at the valve covers and distributor base, then noticed that it didnt have a pcv valve installed. So I put new valve covers on, and plumbed in a pcv valve and low and behold, the leaks stopped due to lower pressure...

Myself as well, goes on smooth, sands really nice, great for fine finishing

Oops, forgot to say that they are being shipped FedEx! I shall post when I get them!

@4spdragtop just got an email today saying that my kit has just shipped :thumbsup:

@Oldmanmopar what paint system is that from? Also, is it catalyzed? Im always leary of applying a 1K paint on the exterior of a vehicle

I talked to a local shop about doing it on my Swinger, they said not a problem, but he wasnt sure about the longevity of the cowl area because of the thinness of the grates, not a big area to stick to. So if you dont have a cowl to worry about its a fairly cheap and easy way to get the satin...

Its very cool to see a kid his age excited about classic cars, so many of them nowadays either dont give a rats *** about cars, or they want the fast and furious import stuff. Good for you man, I hope you two have a great time working on it! :thumbsup:

They also carry PG Classics interior panels as well, does anyone have an opinion on them? I noticed that for the price of two Legendary door panels, PG Classics also includes the two rears as well.

Nice! Welcome from Canada! :canada:

So I have never heard of Bilstein shocks before, are they good, well suited to our cars? Pardon on my ignorance :)

Just an fyi, if you happen to be ordering a new adjustable pushrod, it will come with it, I just checked the one I just bought from Dr Diff and it came already attached I hear ya there, having to spend time, money and precious strands of hair just to fix crap that some previous owner...

Heres a pic of my 70 Swinger, 340 4spd H code.

LMAO! I knew it would be an unpopular opinion!! :rofl:

Its no secret that shipping costs nowadays are pretty outrageous, but even with the inflated shipping, its really not that expensive, especially to get a part that was made to fit and function properly. I also need one of these for my brake changeover, and Ill be buying a proper one rather than...

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I cant stand any of these cars on this page, I always thought Porsches were ugly as sin, the earlier the year the uglier Porsche Classic

5 dogs and new sod? I hope you are using the anti-stain rocks in their water, friends of mine swear by it, the mineral in the rocks gets absorbed into the water they drink and neutralizes the nitrogen in the dogs pee so they dont destroy your new grass...

1970 Dart Swingers :lol:

A friend of mine has a PDR shop and is very good at it, he says old metal can definitely be PDR'd, just takes a little more effort because it is heavier/thicker. Not every ding can be fixed mind you, its like @junkyardhero said, there doesnt appear to be any hard creases in it, which is a plus...

I wouldnt "hope" that the old factory IVR is good and bet your gauges on it, the conversion to the one @Dana67Dart and @67Dart273 told you about is inexpensive and very very simple to do. Personally, I went the RTE route and had no problems doing the conversion.

I purchased my 1970 Dart Swinger from Rods Hotrods here in Saskatoon, from what I was told, he sold it to, then purchased it back from someone out in BC, where I dont even know. She an H code 340 four speed, numbers matching transmission but not motor. I have a couple of questions about the...

Welcome from Saskatoon :canada:

Yup, I would be too.

As is the man who fights people beneath him and then proclaims himself great.
