Hi guys, My 74 dart sport has been sitting several months after replacing a head gasket earlier in the year. I was finally able to get back to work on it, but it will not run with the brake pedal pressed. It will turn over but not start until I take my foot off of the brake. It cranks and...

I finally was able to track down an issue I was having where the car would stop as soon as I turned the key from start to run The MSD control box wasn't getting power when switched to run. I traced it back to it's source and found this. It was connected where the bare wire is in the pic with...

Hi guys. I recently replaced the head gaskets and a couple freeze plugs on my 74 dart sport 360 (leaky freeze plug finally got me). After starting the car and letting run a minute or so I had water dripping out of the driver side exhaust. Great, must still be a leak. I had my son come over (he...

I'm looking for a working set of hood hinges for my 74 Dart Sport, shipped to 31750. Thanks, Russell

My 904 transmission sometimes does'nt want to shift from first to second gear when in drive. When it sticks going from first to second, I can shift from drive to neutral and then back to drive and it will shift fine until the next time it's parked. After that it may or may not shift correctly...

Hi guys, I have a fairly stock 360 (4006830-360-6) engine and a 904 (PK3681843) transmission in my 74 Dart Sport. I have owned the car for 6 or 7 years now and it has always had a rhythmic vibration between 45 and 65 mph. A year or so ago I had the stock flex plate break on me. I replaced it...

I'm looking at getting some new wheels and tires for my 74 Dart Sport for Christmas. I found some 17" 04 Mustang Bullitt wheels locally with almost new tires. They are asking $375. My question is will the rims fit on my Dart Sport. I'm specifically worried about the front. The rear is an 8 3/4...

Hi guys, I'd like to know if it's ok to drive my car up on ramps, unbolt the torque converter from the flex plate, and run the engine without the torque converter attachéd to rule it out as a source of vibration. I believe I can get to the bolts without unbolting the tranny, the the torque...

OK, I'm still chasing what I believe to be a driveline vibration. I added some pinion shims and it seems to change when the vibration occurs and the severity. Let me see if I can explain where I am so far. I have a 360 with a 904 transmission in a 74 dart sport, 8 3/4 rear 742 chunk. I was told...

Well, I've been chasing a vibration on my 74 Dart Sport with a 318/904 for a while now. Changed rims and tires, tailshaft bushing, transmission mount, u-joints, pinion angle, etc. No improvement. Wanted to rule out the driveshaft being bent/out of balance, so ordered a brand new one. No...

I've got a 74 Dart Sport with a 318, 8 3/4 rear with 3:23 open gears. I'm still having a vibration, lets see if I can describe it. It feels like its going "whoomp, whoomp" anywhere from 45 to 60mph. I haven't went higher to see if it will go away. It almost feels like when you go over the speed...

My son bought a 74 Duster yesterday and on the way home it ran hot. Checking it out today it looks like the radiator is leaking in about 3 places. So, we are looking for a good used slant six radiator. Let me know what you got!

Just got a call from my son Cody at Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island, he has made it through the crucible and is now a Marine. I am sooooo proud of him. He's had a rough go of it, developed a stress fracture with about 4 weeks to go and was put in a medical platoon. But he's hung in...

I'm getting really close to having the heat back going in my dart sport. I am missing the Vacuum reservoir that is mounted in the engine compartment. Does anyone happen to have one they'll part with? Thanks, Russell

Can anyone tell me how the vacuum hoses route to operate the heater on a 74 dart sport with a/c? Or post a schematic from the factory service manual? I am also having problems getting power from the blower switch. Thinking it was bad, I ordered a new switch from the parts store, but it has 4...

Hi everyone, Does anyone know of a site where I can pay and download a fsm for a 74 dart sport? I found the cd for sale on eBay but really don't want to wait for it to ship here. Thanks, Russell

Hi everyone, I need the left side cover of an ac/heater box for a 74 dart sport. I just need the left front half, the right side and rear is there. Or possibly the complete box, doesn't need to be working. I'm trying to get the heat going in my dart, not worried about the a/c at this time...

I replaced everything on the front end of my car earlier this year, all the ball joints, upper and lower control arm bushings, tie rods, etc. I hit a bump earlier today, nothing harsh, and noticed the ride height on the right side had dropped a couple inches. I checked the rear torsion bar...

Hi guys, With winter fast approaching I would like to get some heat going in my 74 dart sport. It was originally an a/c car, but one of the previous owners removed everything heating and air related under the hood. I would like to know if I get a blower motor with fan, hook it up along with...

Hi Guys, I decided to change the extension housing bushing in my Dart Sport to try to help with a vibration that I am having. Being somewhat on the lazy side, I did not want to pull the extension housing off the transmission, I wanted to do it with it in the car. I looked online and they make a...

Hi guys, I would like input on what could cause the front wheels to hop or push on my 74 Dart Sport when I am making a slow speed tight radius turn, like pulling into a parking space. It doesn't seem to do it if I make a more gradual turn. I have had an alignment done and it seems to be...

Hi guys, I finally got a timing light and decided to check the timing on my 74 dart sport. It has been running and driving fine, but the gas mileage is really poor. If I did it correctly it looks like I have 21 degrees initial and 15 degrees mechanical, is this correct? What, if anything...

Hi guys, I just finished swapping the 8 1/4 rear end (2:76 ratio) in my Dart Sport for an 8 3/4 rear end (3:23 ratio) from a 67 Belvedere. I am having a couple of issues. First, I am not getting much if any fluid to the rear brakes. Was not having a problem with the original rear end...

My dart sport has always had an aftermarket 3 guage cluster mounted under the top lip of the dash, right in front of the heater controls. Looks like one of the previous owners took a chisel and busted out a good size chunk in the center of the heater controls to run the wires and tubes for...

Hi guys, I just wanted to share some good news with everyone. My son Cody graduates high school next week, then leaves for the Marines about a month after that. We got invitations to attend high school honors night, and my son received an $80,000 scholarship from the Marine corps! I am so...

Hi everyone, When looking at the upper shock mounts from inside the engine compartment, the passenger side mount seems to be flush up against the inner fender/frame, where as the drivers side mount has a gap somewhere between 1/4" and 3/8". Is this normal? And if it's not any ideas on how to...

Hello guys, I can buy this Duster for $500 with a 318 engine or $1000 with a 440 engine. The outside is in decent shape, it has some rust in front of the doors and behind the rear tires. The interior has been completely gutted. I will have to talk to the seller and see if he has any of the...

So after putting a pair of +2" over stock leaf springs on my dodge dart and still not getting the look I want I am going through my other options. JR Springs said they can add another leaf for $75.00 for the pair and it would give me some added height. Is it possible for me to take a leaf out of...

Hi guys, I need some help... Recently I ordered some SS springs from Jegs for my 74 Dart Sport. I have 225/75/15 tires on the car, and with the SS springs the rear was still too low. I added shackles from the local auto parts store, still too low. I returned the springs and ordered some...

What leaf springs do I need to get for my 74 Dart Sport? I have 235 70 15 tires and the stock springs are so shot they almost point towards the ground. I ordered some SS springs from Jegs but they didn't lift the body high enough. I am thinking about the XHD springs from JC Whitney but they are...
