    Upper and Lower Ball Joints

    thanks zhandfull. yes that looks like my set up except my calipers are on the front of the spindle. yep, large bolt pattern too. so, if i was to go with a front end kit, i should go with a 73 or later kit? also what's weird is i ran into and met a local mopar dude (he had a challenger...

    Upper and Lower Ball Joints

    i'm going to piggy back onto this thread as it's something i've been wondering about as well. i have a 70 dart swinger and plan on doing a front end rebuild. the car has single caliper piston disc breaks, which i'm pretty sure are not original to the car (70's were either drum or 4 piston...

    I'm in Broward county, just north of downtown Fort Lauderdale. I wouldn't mind meeting some local Mopar/ A Body guys as i'm a bit green and I would love to learn more. Anyone in the area?

    Front vs. rear track width

    Thanks!!!! it's not really a big deal, but every once in awhile when parked at a weird angle i'll notice it and it always catches me off guard and looks slightly odd. lol just wanted to be sure, as like i said, my dart is slightly a frakenstein beast and i'm clueless as to what the 8 1/4 came...

    Front vs. rear track width

    so i'm just curious....... when you say your front is 2" wider do you mean per side or overall? i just measured mine (approx) and my rear end is about 4" narrower overall than my front end, 2" per side. i have an 8 1/4 rear end on a 70 dart that is more or less a peiced together frankenstein...

    Thanks guys!!!!

    i just wanted to say thanks and what a great place this is!!!! i was having headlight issues, i had everything but headlights. i searched the forum, found the threads and info i needed, and got it solved and fixed. of course it turned out to be the headlight switch, but if it weren't for this...

    Hello from South Florida

    BTW...... i resized the rather large pics because it does tend to be annoying. if they are still showing large, just be patient. it's photobucket. they will eventually shrink a bit. :)

    Installing new shocks questions/tips???

    Thank you for the tips and replies. I did the front yesterday and the rear today. It was almost to simple. Lol no rusted bolts to deal with. They broke free with a wrench and then came off by hand after. All in all it took me about an hour. It was a good way to get my hands dirty and build...

    Installing new shocks questions/tips???

    Hello, I have a 70 swinger with a 318. I got her due to my love of old mopars and because I'd like to have a car that I can do repairs on myself. I have some basic mechanical skills, but want to learn more and the only way is hands on!! This week I'll be replacing the shocks front and...

    Thing I hate most about my/all A-bodies

    the little problems and repairs that always inevitably pop up, and always when money is tight, but that is just par for the course i suppose. the two things that surprised me though don't have anything to do with the car it's self. 1. pulling up to a red light and sitting next to a brand...

    Show in dec

    i'm going to mark my calendar and try to make it, but it all depends on what i have going on at the moment. sounds like a fun event for sure. also, i doubt it matters to many people on here, but it certainly does to me, the skatepark mentioned above is one of, if not the best, in the state!

    Hello from South Florida

    thanks for the welcome everyone! one of the things i really like about this place is the LACK of newb hazing. i'm on some other forums for other interests that i have and there is plenty of that. i never really understood the mentality of it and certainly appreciate the warm welcome here...

    Hello from South Florida

    Hi, I've been lurking and learning for a little bit now and must say you guys (and gals) have a pretty cool thing going on here. I've learned quite a bit in the short time i've been browsing. Recently, I made a long time dream come true. I'm now the owner of a 70 Dart Swinger. She's got a 318...
