Getting ready to drop the engine and tranny back in my ‘70 318/904 Dart. Rerouting the harnesses and the only one I didn’t get photos or notes of is the harness going to the switch in the tranny. Does a bell housing bolt go through this eyelet attached to the harness? There were three of us on...

I've got the engine out and am going to paint the engine bay. I've got a couple small areas of rust. The worst is under the washer bottle. I'd like to get some thoughts on products you all use to treat it after cleaning it up but before paint. It's a daily driver/a couple small shows a year...

Something I've pondered. I know there has to be a transmission person out there who can explain this in terms the layman can understand. From an online HOT ROD article: "Transmission Drivetrain Breakage Don't Let Your Sprag Sag" "....There are many ways to cause an overrunning clutch failure...

I check out our local pick n pull from time to time in case they have anything I’d like to have for spare parts. They have a 73 slant six Duster. Sad to know it’ll be crushed. It’s a solid car. A few dings but no major damage or rot. The grill is really nice. Some of the mounting tabs are...

I’m pulling the trans out of my Dart. 1970 318/904. Daily driver, 318 is near close to factory hp. I want a reliable transmission that will be still be a daily driver but maybe twice a summer at our local strip for the memories to run against my son’s Plymouth. I’ve been reading a lot of...

I live a couple hours north of Sacramento and I remember reading a while ago about the ban on home major auto repair even in a closed garage due to environmental concern regarding the chemicals used in such activity and the possibility people were operating repair shops out of the home garages...

I removed my column to replace the coupler innards and I had my steering box rebuilt by Firm Feel. I don’t have an old tool C-4134 hanging out in my tool collection but I wanted an easy way to keep the steering shaft centered in the tube while reinstalling the column and making the...

I’m looking for two of these squared headed bolts used for attaching the steering column upper bearing housing to the column tube. See the first image for the diagram. They have a specific wedge shape to lock the housing on. 1969 or earlier. If you’re parting out a column please PM me.

Dang, I won the lottery in more ways than I can count. These chairs are just a small example compared to everything else. She's my trophy girl for life.

'69 Valiant 318 manual 4sp with floor shifter. No ignition switch or shifter on the column I've been helping a buddy with some wiring on his Valiant. It's had some really shoddy things done by a previous owner. Both sections of the steering collar housings (for lack of correct terminology)...

I’ve looked around online and haven’t found a power steering box with the same pattern of casting numbers. It’s out of my 70 Swinger so I assume the 70 is a significant date number or is that 1/7/70? I guess there’s a shift ID in there. What’s it all mean?

You use the same tester to test both temp gauges cold, middle and hot and and fuel gauges empty, half and full. They both react the same to the same ground resistance? It seems that other than the fact that the terminals on the back are mirrored, the mechanical innards should be the same? An...

Can you remove the gauge cluster from a non-locking wheel 1969 Valiant without dropping the column down like you need to with the later model in-column switch/locking wheel types? The column looks pretty slim without the bulge from the ignition switch/locking wheel collar.

70 Dart 318 Well, I guess I screwed up. The engine was running and I was rearranging the heater hoses because I saw they were riding on the top of the alternator. I guess I got a hold of the dark blue field wire and pulled it off it's spade connector on the alternator. It made a bright blue...

Wheel Vintiques rallye, Silver, 14 in.x 7 in., 5 x 4 in. Bolt Circle, 4.25 in. Backspace. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wvi-61-4754044/overview/ Has anybody put these on the rear of a stock Dart? Wondering if there's any clearance issues with the extra 1.5 inch over the stock 5.5 Rallye...

Wow! There are a lot of posts on fuel gauges. Mine moves but when the tank id full, sometimes it reads a hair over half and sometimes it reads 5/8. It never goes above that. I might even fill it and have 1/2 on the way home and them 5/8 in the morning. When it reads empty, it's empty. I've...

Who can offer up some history on these. I've never even seen one until recently. The C pillar is a bit too stretched for my taste.

The Cubs are going to kill me yet. If they had actually won, all the great jokes would have lost their relevance. So we carry on the tradition...

I found this photo on the internet, modified the text and then checked with our dogs...they totally agree...

My son put a 100 amp Tuff Stuff alternator in his '74 Satellite and it had a shrill whistle when you rev the engine. He sent it back to Summit and got another today and it does the exact same thing. It's really quite an awful sound. He has a serpentine belt set-up with aluminum pulleys. The...

I've done two '74 B-body front ends but I'm going to rebuild the front of my '70 318 Dart for the first time. I have a few UCA questions. I see I can buy offset UCA bushings from Moog. This is to increase caster? I see how they will more or less put a twist on the UCA by moving the...

Didn't know he was picked up in our county...

When my son graduated from college I signed over my '74 Satellite to him. We bonded over that car up to our elbows in various fluids. At one point we had a 408 in it- Lots of fun! I just never got around to doing anything with the body especially after I got my Dart and built it as my daily...

In the end it will be just Keith and the cockroaches....

This is my first time dealing with a wiper motor issue. I've read everything in the factory manual and what I could find on here but didn't see anything relating exactly to my problem. 1970 Dart with two speed motor. With the switch on, the wipers will sometimes stop mid-swipe, sometimes...
