Finally we have solved the problem :) Further things done were change of the 8.75 gears to 3.23 instead of I think it was 2.76 - the shatter was a bit less, but still there. Then we have took of the clutch again and changed the flywheel for a new one and went back to the Centerforce clutch...

Yes, bellhousing is dialed in to specs. The input shaft to crank bushing fit has about 0.2 mm = 0,00787402 inch - not sure if that is ok. Bushing is brand new. Input shaft has same diameter on the bushing area as on the other areas. We did not disconnect the sway bar yet - good idea - I think...

The surface of the clutch looked a bit burned at some spots and not 100% good - like some clutch friction material sticks out at some points - the pressure plate had some colored areas from heat. It was a brand new Centerforce clutch and we did not abuse it. But I think the chatter has put some...

That´s worth trying - thanks for the hint - I have another flywheel with minimal signs of use - will have it balanced & resurfaced and test that one as one of the next steps.

Yes.

After changing to new ones, we went back to the original rebuilt ones - the Formula S has the heavy duty 6 leaf springs.

Original, which came with the 383 that was in the car.

Forgot to mention - driveshaft has new ujoints and is balanced....

Thanks! Flywheel has been balanced together with the resurfacing ...

Hello everyone, I have read many many threads about clutch shatter problems - also the one which has recently discussed in this forum. The problem is quite similar: - Take off in 1st gear is nearly impossible - extreme shatter, as if the dash would like to jump out of the car. - Take off in...

BINGO! The Ignition Timing Curve was the issue. I have a MSD 8388 Distributor - which I bolted on originally with initial settings. I did not have a clue that the curve would make that much difference. Initial timing is now around 10 degrees - max 34 degrees. Have first tried one light...

Thank you very much for the detailed explanations, tips and experiences!!! I will first start with the ignition next week and at next opportunity with a 650cfm carb. I mainly drive the car in the city, sometimes on the autobahn and 2-3 times a year on the strip. I think I will pass on...

Great - thanks for the quick and many replies! Here some additional info: Heads are from a 1970 318 - compression 10:1 Fully ported with 1.88" Inlet valves and 1.5" Exhaust valves. Pistons are flat top. Cam is calibrated corresponding to the ISL from Hughes. Ignition is 12° before...

Hi everyone! I don´t know how to continue at the moment. I am generally happy with my setup - but the car could launch better and I´m not able to do a burnout. The engine just goes up to 2200rpm (converter stall speed) but seems not to have enough torque to spin the tires. Either the carb is...

searching for a 67 Dart speedo with a metric face plate, shipped to germany. http://67dodgedart.blogspot.de/

@Dartman1969 - Thanks! I think I will make a restoration thread within the next days, so there will be a lot more pictures ;) Meanwhile you can have a look at http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2F67dodgedart.blogspot.de%2F...

Thanks! I got the car without the trunk trim - it´s a Dart 270 which had trim but no panel. I managed to find the trunk trim in used condition and refurbished it by pulling the dents out, de-anodizing, polishing, anodizing and then detailing the black paint again. I also like the look how it´s...

Hi everyone, i´m in relative urgent need of the upper and side windshield trim pieces for my Dart. I converted from 67 style to the later clips - but unfortunately the windshield trim I bought via Ebay last year is a 4-Dr version - much too short on the upper parts, and the side parts are...

here´s a nice project I just read about - I like the idea and hope Danny will manage to find enough people who help him to make it real: http://kck.st/GKr4JS

Need a driver side front door panel for a 67 Dart 270 in good condition.

I found all bushings except this one. Can anybody give me a hint, where to get it ? It shows FK 252. And for those who are interested, here´s my blog showing the restoration of my 67 Dodge Dart...

Thats awsome! I found this thread right now - and funny thing is - I have a Dart 270 too and it looks we have the same taste - I´m going for a 69 B5 blue with black interior :D My car will go to the paint shop in about 2 weeks from now... Here some pics...

found some now at Summit: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SSB-A14/

searching one of these retaining clips. One has been lost during zinc plating :cry: Would be great if someone has one flying around, as I was not able to find it anywhere! :prayer: Thanks Lars http://67dodgedart.blogspot.com

Great Project - I admire your work with limited budget & tools. :prayer: Wish you all the best - and some day it will be finished and a great car. But I think the most important at this hobby is the fun while doing all the small things - finishing all the single puzzle-pieces and enjoy the...

Does somebody have an idea, where I can get the bushings for the shift linkage ? I think these are 3 or 4 pieces - one of them a combination of rubber and metal. Mine are all worn and I have disassembled everything. Thanks in advance, Lars

Thanks! I now found out the difference - my 67 dart uses a 5 leaf stack. But I also have a 6 leaf stack from a 72 dart - so I will take this one and the rebuild kit will fit. Is there any way to check if the leafs stack is in good shape (as it´s already dismantled from the donor car) ?

I was too slow ..... so still searching...

Hi, have bought a Leaf Spring Rebuild Kit from Mancini Racing. It states, that it can be used for 1968-74 All Small Block/Big Block cars. I now dismantled my springs from my 67 Dart. There are no zink plated metal plates in between the leafs - but the rebuild kit includes them. What...
