    Metal Garage Ventilation

    I had a nice 5 bay metal garage built a few years ago primarily for storage. I had the factory installed roll insulation installed when the garage was built. If there was a ridge vent, it can't be operational because I can see how the insulation was done across the roof. The garage is kept...

    Vacuum Gauges not zero'd?

    I have a hand me down name brand vacuum gauge. It reads 2" mercury when not hooked up. So, I bought a name brand new one. Same thing. I know altitude plays into the gauge's reading but I'm at 675' above sea level so the error should only be 1/2" maybe. I researched and don't see any way to zero...

    Same Heater core?

    Working on a '69 Dart. Are the heater cores the same in an A/C and a non-A/C car? My core in an A/C heater box is leaking. While looking for a new core I found one site that listed a different number for an A/C car. Thanks, Dan

    727 trans trouble shifting into 3rd gear?

    So, I tore the driveline out of my '74 Cuda for a freshen up over the winter. All the trans needed was a new filter and trans fluid. It worked flawlessly before it came out. Now with everything back in and running the trans won't shift into 3rd gear unless I take my foot off the gas for a...

    Rich idle, would this help?

    I'll start this thread by saying-Yes I did search, and research this issue. My 340 has a problem with the idle being overly rich at idle. The carb is a 650 cfm mech secondary Holley. The car runs really well but has always been rich at idle. I rebuilt the carb and still have the same problem...

    A moral dilemma-what would you do?

    The bad thing about surfing the net is every now and then you find something too good to pass up. There is a local CL ad for a '78 Power Wagon with 566 miles on it. http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/4436145131.html I'm not seriously looking for another vehicle but for the right price I...

    DIY Alignment?

    It seems like it's getting harder to find alignment shops that can/will align a car to anything other than what their computer says it should be. I saw a commercial for DIY car alignment equipment. It looks like it would make aligning your car to your own specs a breeze. Does anyone have...

    '73+ Caliper mounting hardware

    I did the '73+ disc brake swap on my '69 Dart. I'm down to mounting the calipers and brake hoses. My FSM covers the '69 Dart brakes so I can't tell the proper mounting method for these calipers. I'm thinking the big bracket first with the smaller tab on top? What do the included black rubber...

    New Suspension woes-Bilstein and Addco

    I'm trying to get the front suspension wrapped up for cruising season. Imagine my surprise when I open the Bilstein shock boxes to find the front shocks don't come with dust covers. The instructions say to remove the dust cover from my old shocks and reuse them. The old cheap shocks steel dust...

    It was a bad day to work in the garage. I found I had broken pins on my gauge circuit boards and then I cracked my gauge lens trying to polish it. I need just the lense and circuit boards but will buy the whole gauge cluster if that's the way it's being sold. Thanks. Dan

    "TOP" label on New Dash Bezels?

    I started a thread in another section of the forum regarding the differences in new dash bezels from different vendors. My question for the Convertible section is how is the "TOP" label above the switch affixed to the old bezel on my '69 Dart vert? Is it just a sticker? Can it be removed without...

    Reverse switch?

    OK, am I missing something here? I bought a '69 Dart GT 'vert with a 340 and 904 auto transmission a little while ago. I unintentionally found out it it would try to start in gear. I checked the neutral safety switch which turns out to be a single wire unit. It's not even wired up. I look in the...

    Rear window replacement?

    I bought my '69 Dart convertible a few years back. It has a new top with the plastic rear window. It came with an extra glass rear window. I don't see a way to swap them.

    I'm in the process of a disc brake swap along with a suspension rebuild/upgrade. I like the way my car sits now. I think it's a little lower than stock.

    Motor mount differences?

    I recently bought a '69 Dart that had the engine replaced before I bought it. It was a 273 and is now a 340. I noticed the TTI headers rattle off the torsion bar on the pass side and the steering box on the driver's side. The headers haven't been beat to death for clearance. I also see a few...
