George, how high do the front wheels come up on a launch? What kind of times are you turning at the track? My bet is high tens low elevens. Looks great!!

Sure, go for it. I am just learning this site too. I like the threads but I haven't added anything yet. I will.

George, it sounds like you are having a blast. What a hot rod! I didn't get to take the car out too much this summer. Was too busy at work. Luv it though... Great Pics! Dave.

George, your car looks great! You did a lot since the spring. I'll bet it Screeeeeems!!!!

Hey George, I love the dash! Looks like you will be driving soon. Can't wait to see it on the road. That car is going to screeeeem!!! Not much going on here... just ordered the headlight switch and installed a new tach. The dimmer portion of the switch gave out. The copper wiper arm of the...

Looking good George! Keep up the good work. You're getting there!

Hey George, No problem bringing the car by. My pleasure! The radio sounds great. I'm glad because the Ebay radio is junk! Looking forward to more pics! I will check out the shocks first, then the alignment. If I need to align it I will. It's kind of a pain doing it in my garage because it is...

Me too! Weed whacked and cut grass, then pulled out the radio and found the interference problem. It was one of the two wires that are part of the speaker, grounding to the speaker frame. I just insulated them and all is well. I actually like a.m. radio. Reminds me of the old days! I checked...

George, I couldn't get the pipes apart at the mufflers to make them short enough to fit in the trunk without messing them up so I air chiseled the joint at the down tube to front pipe. You will need to cut off as needed anyway to adapt to you fender well pipes. But it will be a breeze to...

No doubt these pipes will sound great with that big block George! Glad you can use them! See you Saturday. I'd like to show you what I've done to the dart George, but as long as I am going your way, I'll save you a trip and briing the pipes in the truck.

Hi George! You can have the old system no charge. Thanks for the offer on the paint. I will take you up on it if you have any left. If you are around this weekend I will will give you a call and maybe stop by. The reason I say the engine was overhauled is because the pistons are .030" over...

Thanks George. I will take a look at the headlight switch. If I need to replace it I will. Much Appreciated! Dave.

Hi George! I know is sounds crazy but it really looked like oil. I agree it didn't make sense coming from the head gaskets, but I laid under the car while it was running and I could see black oily stuff bubbling right in the seam between the head and the block. It wasn't oil, it was antifreeze...

The engine was built by M&R Engines, Glendale California. They claim to have built the same stroker motor for Boyd Coddington's Bud Lite Roadster. I should have said my experience was on a 350 Chevy small block, and should not base my opinion on that alone. It is good to know that Mopars allow...

Maybe I should have said my experience was with a stroked 350 chevy built by M&R Engines. These guys claim to have built Boyd Coddington's engine that he used in his Bud Lite Roadster. I never stroked a Mopar engine so I guess I shouldn't assume the depth of the cut is the same. If you don't...

If you buy your system from Waldron Exhaust, you need to tell them to bend the L/H pipe at the exhaust manifold flange, about 1 inch lower. They bent my pipe a little to high and the pipe did not clear the starter. It hit the solonoid studs. I cut it off and welded the previous down tube to the...

I removed a summit kit that was installed by the previous owner. It required 16 clamps! Too many peices. I ordered a complete aluminized exhaust system for my 69 340 Dart from Antique Exhaust Systems. They are online. The system sounds great and fits well with one exception. They didn't make the...

Hi George! I hope all is going well on your project. I finished the head gasket replacement on mine and took her out for a ride. Everything went great! It's amazing how much punch that 340 has! The head gaskets on both sides were beginning to seep a mix of antifreeze and carbon between the...

George, the vert looks outstanding! Can't wait to see you and the car this summer. I pulled the heads off the dart. Had an oil leak on both sides between the head and the block. Very wierd. Not a lot but any leak bothers me. Anyway I will have it back together this week as I am off. I replaced...

Go with the 340 if you have one. Great motor not too heavy. Personnally I don't like strokers. They are not natural. Have to cut deep into the block water jacket to clear the rod bolts and sometimes counterweights. My stroker (crate engine), let go in the machined cut between #3 and #5...

LoL. Yes they ah wicked cool.

Thanks for the welcome! The car is very nice, but there is always something to do. I enjoy working on them as much as driving them. The FABO crowd is very friendly and helpful. Looking foward to some interesting talk.

Thanks jeff for the welcome and for your service to our country!!. I look forward to talking with many of the fabo crowd. I am sure there is a lot for me to learn. Hope i can offer something...

Thanks for the warm welcome. I had a 64 Dart 170. It was smooth as silk and very economical. Great Car1

Thanks. CudaChick. I've got a few little things to do and the **** pics will follow...

Thanks LY I will. I replaced a broken speedo cable today and removed the exhaust system up to but not including the manifolds. Replacing with a stock system (except for performance mufflers). from antiqued exhaust systems.. When I get that done, I will take some pics.

Thanks Terry! I live in Milford, Ct. But originally from Mass. That's why I say, "Mopah's ah wicked cool cahs". :-D

I am new to this forum but not to Chrylser products. Growing up I owned 17 different Mopars, most of them under $500.00. Some I wish I still had today! My last project was a body off restoration on a 1968 Corvette Convertible. I liked the car, but found myself browsing ebay for Super Bees'...

I have a 8 inch tear in my front seat right in the pleat. Any ideas on how to best fix this tear? It is the original fabric in my 69 Dart Swinger. ](*,)
