I am a Brit ( Canada transplant ). Unless your roots are UK, well John Lennon and his mates really won't resonate in the same way. John was, and always will be a part of who we are as a nation,The United Kingdom, and more importantly, who we are as a people. He represented a brilliant mind,wit...

Your many replies are appreciated. Thank you. There are indeed many new Challengers to choose from, sitting on dealer lots. To find a really nice, correct and properly restored 70-71 Challenger/Cuda 4 speed car is where I will focus my energy over the next few months. As we all know there are no...

My daily driver is a Durango. I am tossing around the idea of driving out to the West Coast ( BC ), from Toronto this summer. It would be kinda cool to do it in a vintage Challenger or Cuda. I did the same run on a motorcycle back in the early 70's. No, I'm not looking to relive Vanishing...

I'm giving some serious thought to buying a 2011 Challenger SRT next summer. But the same money would also buy a correct matching numbers and restored 70-71 Challenger or Cuda ( 340 4 speed ). I would still keep my 340 '70 Dart Swinger. It sure would be nice to down the road in comfort,and with...

As a retired law enforcement officer I can only shake my head at the copper that allowed a drunk driver to continue on her way. Up here, that would cost me my badge. And rightfully so. Being a cop means doing what is right, because it's the right thing to do. The potential consequences of making...

I was giving some thought to installing a 6pack carb set up on my '70 340 Dart Swinger. The car is fully restored and bone stock ( matching numbers ). Any thoughts on such a project? I was looking for more kick from the engine, and do like the appearance of the 6 pack. But I'm not certain as to...

Was an internal ( inside ) hood release an option on the '70 Dart? My 340 70 Swinger has the factory under-the-hood release. It would be nice to have an inside release to prevent any quick pop-the-hood and see what someone could jack ( such as the original air breather ). As it is now I won't...

It turns out that the problem was a poor connection at the fuse box. Looks like a fuse had overheated and melted a small area of the plug-in of the main harness where it plugs into the headlight switch. So I replaced the melted connector with one from a parts car, and as an added precaution...

Ok. Thank you both. Will see what happens. At the moment there are some huge black storm clouds gathering. We are due for a major T storm with possible hail, so gonna stay put tonight:cheers:

I have just removed and cleaned all the contacts/pins on the the back of my ralley dash on my 70 340 Swinger ( original California car ). I had to replace the gas gauge, using an NOS piece that I have had for a number of years ). I also gave the contacts a little shot of electrical contact...

How do I go about removing the lock cylinder?

A little problem here with my '70 Dart. The ignition key refuses to rotate to the accessory position. No problem rotating it to the ignition on position. This has been an off and on problem for the last month ( same ignition key-original to the car ). I have tried moving the wheel ( original to...

Would the water from the hose ( even on low pressure ) not overflow the plenum chambers, and then find its way behind and into the dash??

I am in the process of trying to clean out loose debris ( dirt, bits of leaves, etc. ) in the plenum chambers of my '70 Dart. They are located way up in the left and right corners of the dash, up through the fresh air ducts ( behind firewall ). Super awkward location. Have tried using the tip of...

I have a matching numbers 1970 340 Swinger. I removed the glove box in order to replace and found the flasher just sitting loose, resting on the inside lower part of the dash ( passenger side ). In reading the 1970 Dart service manual this flasher is supposed to be mounted at the left lower side...

I did get the fan bolts out but the fan sits behind the clutch fan assembly. The clutch fan is in the way and appears to be bolted from the front. The rad at this point is in the way as there is only about an inch between the clutch and the rad. I thought this would be simple job without having...

I am new here, so I may be on the wrong forum. I have a '70 340 Dart Swinger ( original rad ) that I want to install an original fan shroud. How is this accomplished? Does the rad have to come out? I suspect that it does. Thanks.
