    318 build check from you experts

    Rebuilding the stock 318 in a D100 and using a bunch of leftover parts from my dart that got upgraded along the way. Wanted to get couple of opinions though on just what to do with it.

    bucket seat tracks between years? and covers?

    Questions for you... How much do the bucket seats and tracks interchange between years? Specifically, will bucket seats from a 74/76 Dart need different tracks to go into a 73 Dart? Maybe 73 tracks specifically or will the other years tracks still bolt right in? Also, are there just the seat...

    73 Swinger semi-pro street/touring build

    Pic from June, 2000. This car has been in ten different iterations, five of those while I owned it and at least 4 of those, while it was in the middle of the build. I grew up in this car in a manner of speaking. My best friends mom owned it, then sold it to him to drive for high school. As...

    Corner window seal/Pillar seal compatability

    So whatever these things are called: Im having a heck of a time finding them for my 73 swinger. seems as though anyone that sells them thinks they are only compatible for years from 67-72. Example: http://www.autobodyspecialt.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=MP-7009 So does anyone...

    Dynomax welded vs X

    a while back I saw a thread on muffler flow rates and decible levels and think i found the same one when I was searching but what I couldnt find was the difference in the welded and X offerings from Dynomax. My set up is a headders off a 360, planning to run an X pipe (you want it as close...

    Template for paint schemes wanted

    So I've been looking everywhere and tried a few times at doing my own but just cannot come up with a workable outline of a dart (in my case a 73 swnger) to apply different paint schemes to. I figure there has got to be software or some sort of program to put different cars outlines/renderings...

    trunk struts

    So after the mini tub for clearance I had to cut out the torsion bar supports that hold the trunk lid up and am thinking that some struts like on a mustang foxbody hatch or any other strut that will assist when opening and hold up the lid would be pretty sweet. Anybody do anything like this...

    Cold air / ram air into a carb

    In my constant search for efficiency, I'm thinking about how to keep constant cold/clean air coming into the carb. An open air filter under hood is good till the engine heats up, then you are getting a heat sinked incoming charge temp. A hood scoop helps feed cold(er) air into the open filter...

    mini tub

    I'm jumping into the mini tub on my 73 Swinger and have a few questions for the dudes that have done it. I got a great deal on a whole 8 3/4 rear end from a friends 74 Duster that was narrowed 7 inches and he ran a 15 x 12 inch wheel with a 5 inch back spacing so thats the size rim I will be...

    oil dipstick

    Alright Im confused. :scratch: I swaped my 318 to a 360, used all the same hardware - I thought. But neither dipsticks are the right combination with the dipstick guide tube to get me an accurate oil check. One is a good 2.5" too long, the other is too short to get any reading. Can someone...

    Battery cut off switch

    So I'm looking at the rear of my 73 swinger and saying to myself: 'self, where the googly are you going to mount the battery cut off switch?' All I see is drilling through the trunk AND bumper and mounting on the bumper. I'm not really into that but there sure as heck isnt a spot that is...

    What's everybody doing for seats?

    So my front bench was trashed, got some charger seats (see thread in "Items for Sale") that will be way big, A body buckets are rare, and the Summit cheapys are, well cheap. So before I break down and make the Summit order, has anyone found any good looking and fitting alternatives? Thanks!

    I'm a dip stick

    So me, the machine shop, and me again all missed this tiny little detail till my buddy saw it, half the dipstick tube (the bottom half) is broken off and stuck down in its hole. The engine is in so there is no easy pulling the pan type answer so I'm looking for some options on how to go about...
