    [WANTED] Manual Brake Pushrod- '71 Dart

    I have been driving my '71 Dart for over a year now with a broken brake booster. A booster for a '71 Dart with a /6 has become a rare item apparently. Over the last 3 years, I've repaired mine twice and last year it broke for the third time and I can't fix it. None of the parts stores can get it...

    Vacuum Leak

    I wish I had taken a picture of what I found in the pan, but I dropped the pan at a friend's house and didn't have a camera handy. I'm sitting here trying to think of something to compare the pieces to. I know that every time I've ever changed a filter there is a bit of ground up metal to be...

    Vacuum Leak

    Adjust the bands? How do I go about doing that? Not to show my ignorance, but I've been changing transmission filters for years and nobody's ever told me I needed to adjust the bands. I'm not questioning you're advice, just asking if you can elaborate. Would band wear account for the fact that...

    Vacuum Leak

    No pressure though, right? lol I love Airplane! If Blockbuster hadn't closed down I'd go rent it and the sequel tonight. Over Macho Grande? No, I don't think I'll ever be over Macho Grande..... I feel so stupid letting the Dart run so low on tranny fluid like that. I went and bought a filter...

    Vacuum Leak

    Well, I was right about the vacuum leak, but that apparently was a coincidence and totally unrelated to the transmission issue. I found a cap that had come off a vacuum port on the intake. Replaced the cap and the car runs fine. I took it down the road and it acted like it didn't want to...

    Vacuum Leak

    I've had vacuum leaks in the recent past and the motor spit and sputtered just like it is now. I don't know for sure that that's the problem, but it just acted like a vacuum leak. Now that the weather has improved, I'll get out and do some investigating today, see if I can find more clues as...

    Vacuum Leak

    Hey Everyone, I'm sure if I searched long enough I would find the answer to my problem in an old thread, but I'm way past my bedtime and really need to get my car back on the road ASAP. As my user name implies, I have a '71 Dart Custom, 225 /6. The other day, I noticed that it was shifting...

    '71 Dart blinker flasher- $2.48, finding a spot to stick it- priceless!

    Well, somebody already did that. That's why I couldn't find it. I finally found it laying on the passengers side where the glove box used to be. I pulled the old cardboard glove box liner out yrs ago because it was split and coming apart, so I have no good excuse for not being able to find the...

    '71 Dart blinker flasher- $2.48, finding a spot to stick it- priceless!

    That is a very helpful reply, thank you. :idea1: :laughing: I told my wife earlier that if I could just get the old flasher to work I'd be able to hear it clicking and then I'd find it and replace it.

    '71 Dart blinker flasher- $2.48, finding a spot to stick it- priceless!

    Uh, I realize I posted this thread six months ago, but I've just been manually working my blinkers all this time. A few minutes ago I finally went and pulled my CD player out of my dash so I could see both sides of the ashtray and I'm fairly confident in saying that the signal flasher is not...

    Wow, I haven't checked out my own profile in forever. What was I thinking when I posted a picture of my dog Charlie as my profile pic. 721 members have come here and they see a picture of a Golden Retriever (on a car forum, lol). Oh, well. I've always been an oddball.

    Cheesiest sci-fi movie in recent years???

    Me and my wife were very bummed when Eureka went away. You never knew what totally unimaginable thing was gonna happen next.

    Cheesiest sci-fi movie in recent years???

    If you want cheap low budget cheesiness, check out any one of the many "Sci Fi" network original movies. I've yet to see one worth watching, not that I would expect much to begin with.

    Texas car wars sucks!

    Yeah, reality shows like that remind me of the old wrestling show on Saturday night. All staged and scripted. I watched it, but even as a child I could tell it wasn't real. Couldn't convince my grandmother of that, though. She loved that rasslin'. I quit watching "reality tv" a few years ago...

    Spread the word!!

    I noticed this thread right after it was posted and saw her picture, then I saw it again on the news a few minutes ago. So sad. Tell Clint that people as far away as Texas are praying for him in his time of grief and praying that justice will be done. I can so relate to Cumiford's blood...

    It's finally happened

    My wife insists on watching Hoarders on A&E every Monday night. I just sat through an episode a couple of hours ago. Before I saw that show, I would have found this thread unbelievable. People just amaze me.

    Guitars For Sale!!!!

    Yeah, I really enjoyed that Epi, but just got tired of the hassle involved with an electric. I bought an Art & Lutherie cedar-top parlor guitar and couldn't be happier. It's perfect for kicking back in the recliner and sounds good enough that I could mike it if I went out in a public setting...

    All I have left is the Yamaha acoustic. It's still up for grabs if anyone wants it. Everything else was sold locally yesterday.

    Guitars For Sale!!!!

    I have some musical equipment I would like to sell. First, I have a Limited Edition Epiphone Les Paul Special. This is NOT the $125 LP Special that you can find anywhere. It is the considerably more rare Custom Shop version and is more of an exact replica of a Gibson LP Special. It has a...

    '71 Dart blinker flasher- $2.48, finding a spot to stick it- priceless!

    Thanks, I will try to check that ASAP. Right now I'm dealing with a Daddy who's in the hospital, a medical profession who couldn't care less, and on a personal note- a job that's fixin' to go away. Thank God my wife is working! I been needing some spare time.

    Aftermarket CD players. Aftermarket trio gauges. No wonder I can't find it. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

    Yeah, I'm gonna raise it back to where it is in that bottom pic. Like I said, It settled another 1/2 inch after I took that pic.

    Air Shocks Really Helped

    I had a little spare time after work, so I got on that front end. Now that I know what the heck a torsion bar is:angry3:, I had no problem dropping it. Thanks, guys. Before- I had dropped it 1/2 inch and...

    Attention all Members: Stop Name Calling and Bickering

    I get that Nova crap a lot myself. "What is that, a '63 or '64 Nova?" I tell 'em, "'71- and it's not a freaking Nova!"

    Air Shocks Really Helped

    Naw, man. No need. I went and tightened the strut rods and now that I know where they are, I can feel the bolt head up inside the control arm. I'll try this again Saturday. Thanks everybody.

    Air Shocks Really Helped

    Boy, do I feel stupid. I looked under the car and saw two bars coming from the lower control arms to the front of the car and assumed. I'll go tighten them right quick. Told ya I ain't no mechanic. At least the reason I didn't find them is because they're hidden. That makes me feel a little...
