I bought some cheap rubber mats for my '70 Swinger last summer but they don't stay in place and look crappy. I see that Rockauto has the ACC mats for a reasonable price. Do these stay in place? Is there anything else to look at these days?

Just wondering if this is a worthwhile upgrade while my side cover is off and the snow is flying?

Ok onto another problem with the newly restored Dart. I had someone rebuild the gearbox and now it leaks when sitting...not sure if it leaks when the engine is running or just sitting but its a pretty bad leak. From the pics you can see there is no oil in the bellhousing or to be seen on the...

I’m going to start a new thread for this. This distributor is not the most impressive piece of work: Gap was 0.030” cost me hours of troubleshooting. It ran but wouldn’t start when hot. Reluctor shaft was galled and I needed a puller to get the reluctor off. All the videos said to use 2 screw...

I was wondering whether the factory pushrods had ball (welded ball?) or formed tips. Is there any functional difference? I seem to have a mixture of both which I will resolve as they are slightly different in length. Also, I am getting 0.090" preload. I assume this isn't a problem based on...

New Precision D691 front windshield gasket for ‘67-76 Dart/Valiant 2dr/4dr sedan (not hardtop), $110 USD shipped Conus Canada Post. PayPal only

Tuff steering wheel adaptor for a truck, this has no master spline and has a slightly smaller bore and will not fit cars. I believe these typically came with late '70's trucks such as Lil Red Express, Warlock, D150, etc. $180 USD including shipping CONUS via Canada Post. Somebody bought it for a...

I have this part left over from my '70 Dart resto. I am wondering where this was supposed to go. I didn't measure it but its probably a foot long. ps I did make up some ground straps so I'm probably not short on grounds.

The teething pains continue but I think I have found the cause of a few tuning issues...low vacuum, idle speeds up when hot and idle AFR I can't be leaned out. I came to the conclusion that I might have an internal intake leak after not finding anything externally. I couldn't find too many...

I've got the Oregon 2120 version which is copied from an original cam. I was wondering what you are getting for idle and cruise vacuum?

I'm working overtime to find new issues it seems. I was suspicious of high fuel pressure as I wasn't able to lean out the carb with rod changes in cruise mode. I don't have any other evidence that this is the problem as plugs look ok. I rigged up a temp fuel pressure gauge and got 7.5 psi...

I thought I would get some input before I get into some more tuning. Fun eh? Its a fresh 340 stock (3.55 4 speed) except '68 4 speed cam and Edelbrock RPM intake. I'm running around 15 deg initial timing with Mancini orange box and distributor. Vacuum is only around 9 inches for some reason...

Onto a new issue....my gas gauge reads about 1/4 when the tank is full. Its an original sending unit that tested ok (10-76 ohm span). I get 8.5 ohms across it with the tank full for some reason. If I ground the sending wire it doesn't get much above 1/4. If I jumper the sending wire to the...

I just realized that my electric choke is connected to the unswitched terminal instead of the switched terminal on the back of the fuse box. Now the dash is in the car so its not so easy to access. I pulled the screw out. Should it just pull down?

My '70 Dart has brand new stock steering and suspension parts. I set the ride height and max'd the castor and camber (one cam in and one out) and am now doing an alignment. I had to dial back the camber from just over 1 degree to get back to 1/2 degree. Does this seem normal? I haven't...

FYI - I'm trying to help another member out with a part they need and found out about this new requirement. I've mailed lots of stuff via Canada Post to the US with no issues before but as of August 25th US Customs requires duty to be prepaid which means I have to download some app, figure out...

Is the quarter glass supposed to sit in the roof rail weather strip groove or on top of it? It seems the door glass sits on top of it.

I'm a little stuck (again) on how to install the upper side trim (the painted piece that clips on along the sides of the headliner). It looks like it tucks under the roof rail stainless trim. I can install it without the clips tucking it under the roof rail trim (barely) but it doesn't look...

I had posted in another thread a problem re: car starts when I let go of key when hot. I found that there is fuel and 7 volts at the ballast resistor when cranking and it jumps to 11 volts when I let go of the key. It doesn't seem like the engine is firing at all. Once it does start after...

I stopped by the old alignment shop but their guy retired and they can’t find anybody to replace him . They suggested the shop around the corner. I took the car in and after removing all my trim rings they said they couldn’t do it as their rear wheel fixture interferes with the body. Their...

I like the Tuff steering wheel so I spent a bundle on a Tuff adapter and the Grant #846 wheel but didn't like that it was hard plastic. After unsuccessfully trying an Amazon cover (which I found was not made for thinner steering wheels) I bought the Wheelskins 15 x 3 1/4 cover. Its not a...

Do you think this would cause some vibration? I'm going to take a blunt air hammer bit to it and hope I can get some clearance without having to dismantle anything. I already have new Schumacher mounts and shims trying to resolve the driver side steering gear clearance issues and I still had to...

The car is assembled and I've got these leftover. They are 5/16" bolts with points (not a regular body bolt) and 1 1/2" washers. Where were they supposed to go?

I'm having an issue where the car doesn't want to fire when warm (fresh build/restoration) so I measured the coil and ballast resistor voltage when warm (engine not running). In the run position it was 4.8V/6.0V respectively which seems low. I had just tightened the neg wire on the coil which...

I think I am pretty easy to get along with and I usually don't even barter on local parts but this year has been frustrating finding used parts from the local Mopar crowd. This is a bit of an old man rant :mad:but I've had 3 local guys offer to look in their stash for parts that I need to...

Anybody got any tips? I've watched a few videos, etc. I installed one side and got a lot of water bubbles. Yes you can pin prick them but it leaves a mark. The issue I have is that you cannot see how well you have squeeged as the protective cover hides everything. Maybe I need to pull it...

My dash pad has been repaired and was looking ok but is very fragile due to the age and now has cracks. Has anybody recovered theirs successfully? Its a small simple design (1970) and I you can buy vinyl for $30. This guy does one and it looks ok but maybe not great.

This may be a stupid question but I haven't got into it yet to figure it out...I'm just finishing off my '70 Dart and I need to install the new hood pins. I can't reach the backside to get to the nut on the bottom without removing some parts. I was wondering if anybody knows what has to come...
