Finally some actual progress to show you guys, besides just talking and ordering parts… I found a local guy selling a set of 360 heads that had been upgraded already. Hughes valve springs, roller rockers, and some mild porting of the intake ports. He bought them new, raced with them a couple...

So I replaced the speedometer cable in my dart. Hooked everything up only to find that the speedometer still doesn't work right, bouncing all over the place. So I pulled it out of the speedometer end and watched it while I drive and it moves but makes a very annoying ticking sound. Im guessing...

Well I can't tell about the headlights when I'm driving but I know the interior lights don't brighten when im driving. They still fade in and out as im going down the road. My dash lights that is.

I've noticed that when I turn the headlights on in my 74 dart they dim and then get bright and dim again.... so on... and the same goes for my interior lights. What could be keeping them from staying at a constant brightness? Also the previous owner rigged up what I've been told is a bypass...

Thanks guys I got it out! Now what do I look for to see if the cable is bad? Or do I just rub graffite on it and push it back in?

The shocks are fresh. If they don't wear out why do people replace them? I didnt see more rust than expected when I looked at it. Just surface rust. Ill check the lower control arm mount but don't think anything is overly rusted. Maybe I just can't see it. Does that mean that the torsion bar is...

I just pulled the speedometer cable out of the tranny and pulled it out to the engine bay. But its still connected to the fire wall. How do I remove it the rest of the way and apply the dry lubricant? 74 dart 318 4 door

I have a 74 dart 4 door with a 318. The torsion bars are worn out, every time I turn one side dips pretty bad. Im assuming that's the problem anyway. But what size bar should I look to buy and what should i expect to pay?

Do the reverse lights in 74 darts twist out or is there another way of getting them out. I know it's a silly question but I went to twist then and had no luck. Didn't want to force it and snap something off. :-|

Hahaha gdrill that made me chuckle. Thanks guys, that's good to know. So if I have one or two power brake applications after shut off ok okay? Im gunna check tomorrow.

When i bought my 74 dart this was what the brake booster looked like and i really dont think its how it should be. My brakes are less than stellar so i figured this is part of the problem. Can anyone tell me what is covered by the tape and how to properly fix it? Even if its as simple as pulling...

Good to know! I didn't know they were the same dimensions underneath :/. How much do you think something like this will run me? Ad far as noise I don't want the whole town to hear me driving my car but id like it to have a pretty good rumble if that makes sense. Probably the best thing is to...

So everyone puts dual exhaust on their 2 doors but I have a 74, 4 door dart that I want to put dual exhaust under. Has anyone on here done that with their 4 door? And people keep talking to me about y pipe or fake dual exhaust? I guess I just need some info on how to tackle this project. Also...

Okay this is going to sound like a stupid set of questions. I have a 74 dart custom 4 door. I thought I had 4.5" spacing on the lugs but that turned out to be wrong....after buying a set of rims.... anyway, what sizes would this dart have? I measure 4.25" but I was told that doesn't exist ...

My windshield leaks a little when it rains and I know this isn't a problem to overlook. There are some trim pieces around window that may need to come off. Would simply putting a bead of caulk in the area I think the leak is coming from be an appropriate way to fix this? 1974 dodge dart...

I have a 1974 dodge dart custom 4 door. Stock suspension. Id like to have some beefier tires in the back. Does anyone know how wide I could go?

Am I in son trouble here with a stock suspension?

What width of tires fit a 15x8.5 rim?? Smallest and widest?

Thanks guys! I actually didn't know you didn't have yo remove the engine to replace a cam. But that's good to know because Im wanting one ;). It isn't my daily driver, I have a little mazda to zip around in while I work on this dart. Ill ask th engine forum about installing a cam!

I am running a stock 318 with a 2 barrel, I think removing the engine for a cam is above my capabilities but adding dual exhaust to my manifolds seems doable. Would that along with a 4 barrel and new intake give my engine a little more "umph"? So to speak haha. Is installing dual exhaust come...

What are some good affordable headers that will fit a 318? And when I get them is it a very hard job to install them without removing the engine?? I'm a newbie at this and just need some good tips and tricks. Car is a 74 dodge dart.

My 74 dart custom has 4.25 spacing. Is that right or am I measuring it wrong :/?

Try craigslist! That's what I do. Maybe you'll find a old set of cragers on there.

I have checked the pull off, that's what I thought it was too. But there is no leak in the vacuum pull off :/.

318 in a 74 dart with a 2 barrel carb. Exhaust choke coil. Okay so her are my symptoms, start the car and it starts off fine. Pulloff works good (checked it). But after it runs for about 5 seconds it idles a little rough, doesn't die though. Then when I put it into gear, reverse or drive...

Right when I start my 74 dart it idles a little rough. I believe this is because of a sticky choke. Its a automatic choke 2 barrel carb I think. ( haven't had it long) it has a 318 in it with the the exhaust type of automatic choke. How do I go about fixing this problem??

I have a white vinyl top on my 74 dart that id like to paint black but I don't want it flaking off after a couple years. Any advice or techniques I should know? What's the right way to do this?

On the 74 dart I bought the guy before me put what looks like a thick speaker wire running from the alternator to the battery. Is this supposed to be there and if so why? I suspect something is wrong because when I turn on my lights, the gauge I believe that is for the alternator, drops down to...

I have a stock 318 in my dart right now and im wondering what are some things I can do to make my car a little faster without pulling the engine and boring it out and putting a new cam in it. I was thinking maybe a new intake and 4 barrel carb would help some? And im planning on putting headers...

Thanks for all the info, ill try adjusting the bars first, but it sounds like it may just be time to put a fresh set under it.
