    Can't shake vapor lock issue!

    My 74 Dart has a mild 318, factory rad/fan, electric fuel pump and I keep having what seems to be a vapor lock issue. After driving and bringig the car up to 190 degrees it will die in gear at stop signs. It had the Charcoal canister removed and that line was crimped. I have the gas cap drilled...

    What radiator/electric fan setup for 74 Dart 318?

    I have the factory V8 radiator and fan with shroud on my 74 Dart with a warmed over 318 in it and it doesnt over heat but does run very close to the edge. In heavy traffic it doesnt do very good at all and with summer coming up I am going to be installing A/C on it so the cooling demands will be...

    My other projects, 83 D-150, 85 W-150, 05 SRT4 + 67 Barracuda

    I figure its time to start a thread for your viewing pleasure and to help me keep up with what I've been doing to my other toys. Over this past weekend I got both my trucks out and cleaned them up good, clay bar and waxed them and polished the chrome some. Just a precleaning for the spring...

    Changing up my Dart Sport, input needed

    It has dawned on me my Dart Sport is painted more in line with the way a factory 71 Duster 340 car than any Dart the way the hood, fenders and around the doors painted a different color than the rest of the body. I'm not much on custom stuff, I like mine to look factory appearing even...

    Getting ready to change wheels, what options do I have?

    I have a 74 Dart Sport that I have recently swapped over to disc brakes and larger wheel drums as well as the 4.5 on 5 lug pattern and it appears the back spacing on both the front and rear is incorrect. The rear tires arent too far in but the fronts are way to far out. You can see the entire...

    Master cylinder for manual disc brakes?

    It looks like my MC on my dart is leaking so it's time for replacement. Which master cylinder do I need? Can I use one from a D150? I want to stay with the manual disc/drum setup I just swapped in. Also, will my parts car Duster have the valve I need or would it be wiser to buy a new replacement...

    Putting complete V8 Suspension under 74 Dart, what all to have before swapping?

    I hate to ask and get attacked for not taking the time to search but maybe my thread will help others. With that out of the way, I have a 74 Dart Sport and I have a 74 Duster 318 car. My Dart started life as a /6 car with 4 wheel drums and now that I have drove it a bit, the suspension needs...

    74 Dart Seatbelts, how do they work correctly?

    This is like the last frontier for me unless I'm missing something but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the seatbelt to feed from the car so I can put the things on! I did however pull the covers off where they go down by the seats so I can pull the bar in them to let me pull...

    Late model 360 fuel injected and OD trans swap into 74 Dart?

    This is probably a very loaded question but first is it possible to swap in a factory 360 and factory OD trans from say a late 90s Ram into my Dart without having to butcher the car and what kind of cost am I looking at? What all parts are needed? I know the engine would bolt right up but the...

    My 383 is weak!?

    I have a 83 Dodge D-150 pickup that my dad had swapped a 440 and later a 383 into that just seems weak. Im not 100% certain on what parts are in the truck as I was only a few months old when the 383 was built and its been 20 years since dad had built the engine so bare with me here. '69...

    Factory fuel gauge not working?

    I have a 74 Dart Sport and my factory fuel gauge always reads empty. When I first got the car it would move a bit when you added fuel but now it stays on empty. I want to say my gauge is still good but I'm not sure what could be wrong. Does this car have a sending unit in the tank for the fuel...

    Bushings and shock upgrades for 74 Dart Sport?

    I'm in the process of upgrading to disc front brakes and while I have it torn down I'd like to replace the bushings and shocks all the way around. I'm wanting to stay under $400 on it. I've been looking at the energy suspension bushing kit for it. Does it come with everything I need? What kit...

    My '74 Dart Sport Project

    I bought a '74 Dart Sport last Saturday after looking high and low for the perfect one since I was 12. It has a 318, 904 trans, 2.76s in a 7 1/4 rearend, aftermarket power seats and A/C and a set of new Cragars on it. I paid $3k for it which is a bit more than I wanted to pay considering what...

    Speedo issues, 74 Dart

    I have a 74 Dart and most all of my gauges either don't work or read strangely. My speedo starts at 30mph even though your physically at 0mph. How can I move the dial to make it read right. It moves as you go faster so at 20mph Im showing its doing 50mph which throws my mileage on my odometer...

    Replacing dash pad and restoring interior

    My dash pad on my Dart is pretty rough. The guy I bought it from covered it over with what looks to be panty hose material which does a good job of hiding it to the uneducated masses but thats not good enough for me. I have seen the dash pads you glue on the old dash to make it look factory...

    F-Body Volare/Aspen disc brake swap onto 74 Dart Sport

    Hi all, I recently bought a 74 Dart Sport that was a original /6 car but is now a 318 car. It has manual steering and brakes. It has the junky drums on the front and the small bolt pattern with large bolt pattern adapters on it for the cragars to fit. My plan is to get rid of the drums and go to...
