First off, I SUCK at diagnostics. I've known since I was a kid that "parts-replacement" is the worst way to solve a mechanical problem, and this situation reinforces that. Even though I know better, I've been replacing parts in an effort to solve an intermittent misfire at idle/low RPM of at...

Really enjoying my 273-powered 1967 Dart Convertible, but I've realized that I miss part-throttle downshift from my previous (newer) Mopars from the 70's. I have access to a 904 from a '74 318 Charger, but I vaguely recall something about a flexplate or torque convertor change between '67 and...

The internet has been an amazing tool for folks working on old cars, but only if you can figure out what the hell a part is called. I don't have any pictures handy, but on my 67' Dart, there are funny little "washers" that have pie cuts around the inner hole. These are used on the ends of my...

Two questions: I'm in the process of upgrading the standard alternator in my 1967 Dart to a 60amp Denso unit. (I'm also making all of the recommended wiring upgrades/bypass). The Denso alternator is internally regulated, so the factory voltage regulator should be bypassed. My question is, does...

I ordered a pair of rebuilt Kelsey Hayes calipers from RockAuto. When I installed the hard line that leads to the hydraulic line on one of the calipers, even after I tighten the fitting as tight as it will go (and there are no visible threads, so it's not tightening before the fitting is...

I'm trying to finish up the Kelsey Hayes disk swap on my 67' Dart convertible, and I'm having trouble finding front brake hoses. Most places like RockAuto only list a single front brake hose, and these are the drum brake hoses (although they don't specify disk or drum. I've ordered a pair, and...

I'm trying to locate a passenger side brake spindle for my Kelsey Hayes disk brake conversion. I've located a source online for a spindle from a '66 Barracuda, and he claims it's for disk brakes. Can I assume these cars had KH disks, and will work for my conversion? I can't think of any other...

Considering switching from a '72 to a '70-71 rear bumper, and I'm trying to see how hard the tail light assemblies will be to find. The bumper and lenses are easy, but the tail light housings are the question. I haven't noticed any on ebay, so I figured I'd check here. Anyone have any extras?

I've got a line on a 5.2 Magnum out of a '99 Durango I'm considering for my '67 Dart GT, to replace the 273. I'd like to use it pretty much as-is with a pair of headers. I know I'll need the computer and have the wiring harness modified, and there's a guy over on Moparts.com who will do it for...

How big of a press do I need for pressing wheel studs in/out? Money is tight, so even though I'm sure I'll use it for other things, I don't want to buy one that's too much more than I need for this specific job. Will a 6-ton work, or should I step up to a 12-ton? Bigger?

... on old cars, I respect your opinion, but you should move on to the next thread, 'cause my Swinger ain't your cup 'o tea. After 10 years of patience, I finally mounted my 18" "dream rims" on my cruiser: 18x8" Coy's C5s with 4.5" BS, 225/45's in front and 245/50's in back. KH brakes...

273 lbs. fully dressed! Check it out: http://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29183&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

From slantsix.org: I WANT one. :)

Anybody know how much more an 8 3/4" (open) rear weighs over a 7 1/4"?

Hey gang! I've stopped by once and a while to soak up the A-body rays over the last few years, but now that a slant-six section has been added, I couldn't resist anymore. I've got two Darts: the popular choice, a rust-free 67' Dart GT convertible, 273 auto, and my sad, pathetic little baby, a...
