    Weird clicking sound as I accelerate out of corners.

    Experiencing an odd effect here. My car is running fine, but when I accelerate out of corners, there's a metallic clicking noise that is very loud. It only clicks while I have my foot on the gas; when I let off it goes away and doesn't come back. It sounds like something may be making contact...

    Extremely random, weak spark; sometimes no start

    My Dart was running fine after the carb rebuild...for a couple weeks at least. Now it won't start! Last drove I noticed a severe miss had started, but only at highway speeds and higher in the rev range. Got it home and now it wont start at all. Points look ok, and I can hear/occasionally see a...

    Another non-A-body Slanty application!

    Just stumbled across this iad: KALAMAZOO K TRUCK HAULSTER YARD CART FLATBED 1984 CHRYSLER SLANT 6 MATERIAL - RAILIRON--USED RAILROAD EQUIPMENT FOR SALE OR LEASE According to the research I did, these things were actually more common overseas, but were often used stateside in the rail and...

    Interesting Slant Build! (EDIT: not a Slant, sorry)

    Not an A-body, but cool nonetheless. Guy repowers an Allis Chalmers tractor with a /6. Allis WD repower Dodge - Machine Builders Network EDIT, crap wrong story. I should have read back through that forum to see it was a 318. HERE's an AC with a /6: WD 46

    Stumble on the highway

    Hoping y'all could help me out here. The car runs fine at idle, around town, etc. but randomly will start missing once warmed up good on the highway. My first guess is ignition related since this just started after my wife took it through a car wash. I'm assuming something got wet, but haven't...

    Still haven't figured out the idle issue...

    So a few months ago I had problems with my '68 missing and all kinds of nonsense..turned out that issue was a faulty ignition coil and wonky ballast resistor. Got that figured out, but there has been an ongoing issue with idle quality pertaining to fuel mix. I'm running idle at about 850 rpm...

    Pair of running industrial slants for sale

    These aren't mine, just found them today while looking for a used motor for my tractor. Both came off John Deere hay making equipment. https://www.tractorpartsasap.com/mobile/Category.aspx?id=37997 Non-mobile: https://www.tractorpartsasap.com/Used-Chrysler-Engines-s/37997.htm

    another issue:car miss at idle when warm

    So...another issue. Now, the car starts up and runs fine cold, drives completely fine. It even idles pretty good now...right up until it doesn't. The symptoms now include a horrible miss and most often stalling at idle, but it only happens once the car is good and hot. Idle adjustment screws...

    Help with running issue?

    Stumped on this one guys. Over the last 1000 miles I've adjusted the valve lash rebuilt the distributor, and have been working on idle adjustment for easy startup. No biggie right? I had actually gotten the car running great aside from a small and random miss at idle. But then yesterday...

    Can't get the $&@# harmonic balancer back on!

    Title says it all. :protest: replaced the timing chain yesterday evening, no problem. Got the cover on this morning, no problem. CAN'T get the stupid harmonic balancer on to save my life...I've spent the past 3.5 hours doing so. Started with a small hammer and a block of wood, no dice. It's not...

    Running Issues Frustrating Me

    Dang it! Gonna have a hard time getting the Dart to the Mason Dixon race if it's running the way it is. here's what I'm dealing with: -missing on 1 (maybe 2) cylinders, but can't figure out which because the motor won't stay running long enough for me to run around and check it out. -car...

    How to make my heater hotter?

    Unfortunately, my winter beater '79 chevy looks like it's going to be out of service, so at least for the time being I need to use my Dart for DD-duty this winter. That's all well and good...except one thing. The heater sucks. I have flushed the heater core I don't know how many times ( to the...

    Anybody used a vintage Becker?

    So here's something...I stumbled across an excellent deal on a Becker Mexico vintage radio for sale...I think it came out if an old MB it something. That got me thinking: what would stop me from putting one in the ol' girl? Has it been done? Does anybody know what to make if that wacky 6-pin...

    Help ID'ing a Clicking noise?

    I've noticed for about two months now that whenever I take my Dart into the city or in an area with guardrails and such, I can hear a clicking on my left side. It's definitely speed-related, but unless the sound has something to reflect off of, it's too quiet to hear. I've replaced the axle...

    Hmm...so I don't love Monroe shocks...

    I know I've heard a fair number of y'all on here say that you've got Monroe's on you A-bodies, thought I would share my experience with you: September 2012, I replace the front original (!) shocks with a pair of Monroes I got (I think) from Rockauto. Installation is a breeze and the car...

    Freaking Rear-ended Again

    Geez yesterday was not my day. And to top it all off, I got rear-ended yesterday on my way home from church. Naturally it was a hit and run, too. :banghead: The pics don't look too bad, but I'm afraid the chassis may have gotten tweaked since the left side rocker panel trim won't hardly stay...

    Who has the highest mileage?

    Im curious...everybody says a Slant lasts forever. I want to see that in action! All you high mileage /6 owners, tell me your odometer readings! I'll edit this post with the top 10 leaderboard. :) I guess I start (nowhere near high mileage): 111,896.

    Made a Video of Lucy!

    Monday night is one of my 2 band practice nights every week, so I thought I'd do a little video featuring the Dart on my commute. What do you think? Band Practice: A Film Of My 1968 Dodge Dart - YouTube

    Any 67-up A-body wagons stateside?

    I know Mopar didn't build the 67-and up cars in wagon form for the US market, though that was very much a thing "Down Under". My question is, does anybody know of or have a VE Val wagon on FABO? Or if not an Aussie-market one, have there been any built out of US cars? This is what I'm looking...

    School me on drop spindles...

    Thinking about working on the stance of my Dart this year; I like the idea of making a nod towards traditionally lowered mild customs. I'm not in it for the handling, though I have already upgraded the torsion bars with .92"s and threw on some new Monroe shocks. My question is twofold: 1...

    '89 Toyota PU, won't run when wet?

    My buddy is storing his '89 Toyota Pickup at my farm because his HOA won't let him anymore. The agreement is that we can use it for whatever we need, so I've been driving it around; honestly, it's not a bad little pickup. EXCEPT: for some reason, whenever the truck gets wet, it won't run...

    1960 NASCAR Compact Car Race at Daytona

    Im doing some research for my blog about the race at Daytna in 1960 where the Hyperpack Valiants dominated the Ford and Chevy competitors. Supposedly it was called a compact car race, and supposedly it was televised. But beyond that, I'm striking out. I would really love to find some vintage...

    Where to find antenna cable?

    I accidentally tore the end off my antenna cable going into the radio a while back, and while I was able to get around it by using my Redirad and just listening to my iPod. However, I just got a free FM converter from my best friend's dad, so I need to get the antenna working again. Anybody...

    Lost Power? But idles and runs smoothly?

    I just took the ol' girl out to Deep Creek Lake this weekend; got home a few hours ago. Even on my way up there, I'm noticing that she seems not to have the power she does normally. Throttle response is softer than usual, and twice I noticed a slight backfire as I was cranking her over...

    Think my pinion bearing is going south...

    Since I got back from Wyoming, I've noticed a soft hum (only when the windows are up and the radio is off) above 40 mph. It changes pitch based on speed, and it's there most only on deceleration. Does that sound like a pinion bearing to you? It doesn't seem like its getting louder, and I've...
