    8 1/4 gear change cost?

    Would it be cost effective to have the gears changed out in my 8 1/4 thats currently under my Dart? Some years ago after I blew up my second 7 1/4 I put an 8 1/4 in. It got me BBP rear wheels and the fun of carrying two spare tires. Only dilema was the gears are 245 :sleepy5: At the time it was...

    Problems Sealing Edelbrock Intake

    Anybody ever have trouble sealing an Edelbrock Performer Intake? I used the Fel-Pro gaskets that came in my full gasket set minus the cork end gaskets account the directions say to use a thick bead of RTV on the ends instead of the cork gaskets as well as removing the locating pins. I did this...

    Trap Door Inside Exaust Manifold

    Just wondering what is the purpose of the "trap door" that is inside the passenger side manifold on my 70 dart. It is connected to a round metal wheel on the outside that rotates when the door is opened I assume by exaust forcing it open. What purpose did this serve and how restrictive is it? Am...

    My 1970 Dart Swinger

    Kind of new around here but not new to Mopars. I bought this 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger in 1996 for $400. It needed a few things like a battery and starter, points and a spare tire but I drove it 75 miles home without any problems. Over the years it needed just about everything and keeping this car...

    Just ran across a 69 belverdere wagon in the wrecking yard with an 8 3/4 in it. I know a Belverdere is a B body so my question is will the 8 3/4 from a 69 belverdere wagon fit in an A body without modification. If narrowing is in order pulling this one will be a waste of time as I already have 2...

    Instrument Cluster Circuit Board Fix

    I broke all of the pins off on the drivers side circuit board while pulling my instrument cluster on my 1970 Dart Swinger. This seems like a common problem as this is a poor design at best. Fourtunately you can get aftermarket boards (at about $100 each), or used somewhat cheaper. I opted to fix...

    Speedometer Cable

    I bought a replacement cable last week from Kragen and the one that they gave me is the same on the instrument cluster end but does not match the transmission end. My original cable has a large nut on the end that threads into the transmission. The replacement has a smaller round "hand thread"...
