Hi everyone! I could use some advice. I have a 1970 Dart Swinger Slant-6 with the standard gauge cluster. It has worked pretty normally for me the past 5 years that I've owned it until this past fall, when I had an upholstery shop replace seat covers and dash pad. Since the day he changed the...

Hi everyone, looking for some advice/ help I have a 1970 Dart Swinger i bought in 2020 which has a broken rim-blow steering wheel. Has never worked and previous owner mounted a house doorbell-type button to work the horn. Im trying to replace the whole setup with an original-style steering...

Hi, I've had a strange lighting problem since having my interior done a few weeks ago. 1970 Dart swinger Slant-6. I'm not a good mechanic when it comes to electrical stuff, so if we can shed any light on the issue I will pass it on to my trusted old-school mechanic! Two weeks ago i had the seat...

What materials do I need to convert from a rim-blow wheel to a "partial horn ring" wheel? The rim blow wheel on my 1970 Dart Swinger is cracked/ and non-working and just all-around gross and nasty. I love the look of the S-79 partial horn ring wheel and would like to convert to that. My...

Hi everyone, I finally got around to pulling out the sorta/maybe/non-working AM/FM radio out of my '70 Dart I got in 2020. It is not the original radio as I later found out Darts didn't have one till '73 or so, so someone in the past added this in. Its fine with me it fits perfect in the...

NOT about my Dart, but my "3-season" daily-driver 2008 Charger. Started her up today remotely from the house, it was about 22* outside and when the kids and I got in, I noticed the windshield was cracked about halfway across. I have taken two other cars to a local place ~10 miles away, and...

Hi all I ordered a few bottles of touchup paint from Paintscratch.com. The colors look like theyre at least "in the ballpark" (I haven't tested them yet) but the paint for my '70 Dart seems awfully thin. Its much thinner then the 2 metallic colors I ordered for my chevy (sorry). The receipt says...

Hey all, I know this is a stupid question to everyone on here, and I've been changing wiper blades for 30 years now, but I'm confused as to how you remove the wiper blades on my '70. Not the whole wiper arm, just the blade. (I didn't see any other threads concerning just the blades.) The Dart...

Hey all, Im trying to replace the old and frayed battery cables on my '70 Swinger slant-6. New battery too since its well on its way out. Trying to keep look as factory fresh and original as possible. I cant seem to locate any reproduction battery cables for a slant-6. I've tried Year One and...

I want to take my 7-year old for a ride in the newish '70 Swinger but I want to do it as safely as possible. She uses an "under the butt" booster seat in our other cars. Since the booster is designed (I think) to raise the kids up to the proper height for a shoulder/lap belt, is it better to not...

Just wondering if anyone uses fuel system treatment for their A-bodies. The new-to-me '70 Dart i got in September still has the fuel in it from the previous owner. I've been driving it here and there but haven't filled it yet trying to get rid of the old gas; Its getting a new fuel filter today...

Hi all! Im starting to work on the new-to-me Dart now that spring is finally here in the northeast. I'd like to remove the radio which isnt currently working, and id like to do it without breaking anything (especially the 50-year old plastic bezel). I understand that its not the original radio...

Hi all, long-time reader first time poster. I've gleaned alot of info reading this site, and now i have my own A-body to have fun with. Its a bone-stock low-optioned 225 slant-6/ A-904 Dart Swinger, 49,000 miles, 7 1/4" rear end. I got in September. Its a decent car, no rust. I wanted an...
