I have a 400 out of a 77 Cordoba that I bought last summer to throw into the dart and no longer have a use for it. I had to sell the dart and now need to unload the engine and trans. The engine is currently mounted on a stand that I'll include with the sale. It will need to be rebuilt and I...

We're moving and I need to sell the Dart project. I Have to move for work (unexpectedly) and I happen to be in the middle of restoring the Dart. Just finished the majority of my 79 powerwagon restoration, so I'm taking that with me. I just need to unload the Dart. Here's the skinny on the...

I recently bought the Devilbiss QC3 desiccant dryer/filer and am in the final stages of setting up my air system. But there are so many variations online regarding how to set up your system. What I'm curious about is do I still need an additional filter or dryer of some type in the system...

Tried searching for this but had no luck. So, I apologize if this has been answered.... My FSMs are packed right now and I can't get to them, which is why I bugging you guys. Last night I started to wrap up prep to pull my 318 out of my 69 dart. But I need to get the driveshaft out (obviously)...

Is there a way to determine by some outer marking or stamping number which steering box I have in my 79 W200? I'm pretty sure the steering box is the cause of my sloppy steering. But before I can order the part, I need to know if it's a standard or reverse rotation and if it's a 25 or 32...

I just picked up a 79 W200 and the steering is rather sloppy. Other than that the truck is great. I'm new to the older dodge trucks. Can anyone help me trouble shoot before I go tearing things apart and throwing money at it? For instance, could it simply be the steering box is bad? Or could...

I'd like to buy a driver's side fender for a 69 Dart.. For the right price I'll even take a 68 and then just relocate the marker light hole myself. Thanks all, Mike

Anyone have issues shipping items via Greyhound? I paid for a door to be shipped from Oregon to Detroit...about 2 weeks ago. The shipper has all paperwork that was generated on his side when he sent it. But wasn't given a Tracking Number. Greyhound cannot find the item for me without me...

Off brand brakes question..... About a month or so ago I did the brakes on my fiance's 07 saturn ion. I replaced the front rotors and had the rear drums resurfaced at O'Reiley's (formerly aka Murray's). Now, the rear drums squeak very loudly when braking. But they only squeak at the very end...

I'm in the process of disassembling my 69 dart for media blasting. I removed the trim around the windshield and rear window.....bent the sh*t out of them too...even with a trim tool. My questions are: 1. How do I remove the windshield and rear window? Obviously the rubber seal(s) need to be...

I need a passenger door for a 2 door 69 dart. I prefer one in as perfect condition as possible. But if it needs some minor filler or massaging I can live with that. In case it's of any importance, my zip code is 48072 (Detroit area). If you have one you'd like to offer for sale, please provide...

Ok...newbie question here. I'm going to pull the 318 out of my dart soon. I have an engine stand I bought from summit. It's the kind that the engine attaches at the rear of itself to the stand and can be rotated via a crank handle on the stand. I have a cherry picker to pull the engine and will...

I recently purchased a 60 gallon air compressor and will be installing it in my garage. I plan to use it to restore my dart. Therefore, it will be running all of the normal air tools such as DA sander, air chisel, impact wrench etc. But I also plan to use it to paint the car. I'm new to...

Besides the obvious shape difference with the skin not going all the way up to the factory joint with the roof, what is the difference between a replacement quarter panel skin and a full quarter panel? Is it that the installation is different? Do you actually place a skin directly over an old...

I'd like to get the hemi dart rear wheel opening look, but I also want to have the opening look rolled or properly finished. I kinda prefer that look over the hard edge of the old school cut hemi dart wheel opening. Basically, I'm looking to open up the wheel well to properly expose the full...

Anyone recommend a shop that could cut down a Ford 8.8 axle housing for a 69 dart. I've read up on everything and recently picked one up, but am a little weary of cutting it on my own. I want to make sure the re-weld is straight and square..etc. Has anyone used a specific shop in the SE...

Anyone recommend a good transmission rebuild shop in SE MI? I recently bought a BB 727, and will need it properly gone through. I live in Berkley, MI and would like to find a good shop somewhat near home. Thanks all, Stepper

Anyone have a good engine rebuild shop in SE MI they recommend? I also posted this in the MidWest forum, but am playing it safe and posting here too. In case it matters I'm looking to have a 400 gone through and rebuilt. I live in the Berkley, MI area. Thanks all, Stepper

Anyone recommend good shops for having my 400 and 727 rebuilt? I live in Berkley, MI and had spoken to Booth Aarons (sp?) but they closed for some reason. So, now I'm looking for any recommendations that anyone may have, especially if you've used the place yourself. Thanks, Stepper

Given the going rate for 8 3/4 rear ends, I'm seriously thinking about the Explorer 8.8 rear end swap. But I have no idea if it would handle my plans for a 400 to 451 stroker build. The car will be mostly street and I may do a strip every now and then, but it's mostly for street and cruising...

I recently scored a complete 400 from carb to oil pan and plan to put it into my 69 dart GT. It currently has a 318 and 7 1/4 rear end. I've search both this site and BBD.com, but have yet to stumble upon any specific build "lists" of what components people have put into their A-bodies. I'm...

Can I add factory a/c onto a 69 dart with a 400 ci that did not have it originally? I currently have a 69 dart, non a/c with a 318 in it. I may be purchasing a 400 soon with the intent of swapping out the 318. But, I'd like to be able to add A/C to the car. The 400 has the compressor still...

I have a lead on a complete 400 engine for sale near me for $250.00 It came out of a 76 Cordoba with approximately 80k miles. It has all of the pulleys, belts, ac compressor, complete from oil pan to carb. I don't want critiques that I should avoid it or pick a different engine. I've already...

I've searched extensively on this but can't seem to find an answer. I currently have a 69 dart with a 318 (everything works blah blah..) I want to swap in a 360 (most likely will do a 408 rebuild). Therefore, which years of the 360/5.9 liter engines are most preferable. And more importantly...

Yes, this is a very entry level question. : ) Does anyone either know of a good book or an existing write-up somewhere (I looked and couldn't find one) about how Carburetors work? Ideally, I'm looking for something that would cover the various parts, their functions, which parts are changeable...

Anyone have a recommendation for a good welding helmet? I know there's auto-darkened ones and models that are permanently dark. I'm leaning towards the auto-darkening type, unless someone has a good argument against that. I've researched them a bit, mostly on Summit and Amazon. But, I'm not...

Hoping someone doesn't mind taking a quick minute to help educate me on something. In doing research, it's become apparent to me that the 8 3/4 rear end with sure grip is the most desirable.....and some people even swear by the 8 1/4. What I'm not clear on is the difference between the large...

Hey guys. I know that usually a lot of vendors set up shop at 13 and Woodward. But is there a spot that is "designated" for regular guys and gals which they usually gather? This is my first year as an owner of a mopar and would like to come see some members' cars. Thanks Mike
