    How to figure a price

    Haven't been on in while but was when the '64 Dart GT convert restoration was going on. Have really enjoyed the experience of driving what I drove in the first half of the 70s... very nostalgic!! That car was recreated exactly. But it was not meant to be an always and forever thing, and I'm in a...

    clutch adjustment

    I had my 64 Dart converted from PB auto to 3/tree. new clutch, the whole deal. The clutch pedal is a long travel -- I can get used to that but still it doesn't start to engage until half way (or more) off the floor, and there is no free play at top. I guess I can get used to shifting this...

    64 Dart- front parking lights

    I notice front parking lights are not on in 1st position when the rear ones are. But they come on in 2nd position when headlights are on. Was told this was stock wiring pre-66 or 68, altho if true I can't figure out why. Can it be changed so they are on in 1st position?

    64 Dart -- rear trunk plate

    Well the body shop lost the little front spear trim I am looking and then...........months later I realize something doesn't look right and the DODGE trim that runs the length of the trunk is missing. So I go back w/ pix etc. but it's too late. So I get another off these off ebay -- not as...

    [SOLD] Early A Variable Speed Wiper Motor & Switch

    I am wondering if my variable speed setup is the reason we can't get an intermittment regulator to work as we have in other cars. If it were possible to convert to a 2 speed setup, maybe that would be the fix. At least with the results i get, the variable speed wasn't all that different

    steering wheel re do

    Black steering wheel in my '64 Dart is worn (fortunately not cracked)... Is there any way to get it recoated like new. The chances of an unworn, clean one turning up as a part probably not likely. I know the worn colored ones look worse but I am still trying to improve everthing I can.

    headlight warning buzzer

    Well it appears they are simple enough. But if any one size fits all, off the rack ones are available -- I haven't found one yet, although only started looking. It appears these would although in other thread i started it appears getting aftermarket intermittent wiper units to work on MoPar is...

    headlight warning buzzer

    Are there any aftermarket things you can install to buzz if you leave your headlights on? I guess these were on MoPar staring around 69? or so. But I would like something on my '64 Dart no matter how primitive. I saw on ebay these MoPar buzzers for 70-71 cars.. .adaptable. I am just too used...

    wiper frenzy

    Sounds like it would be a big deal then to get intermittent wipers going. I had heard ofa single speed option... like one step up from vacuum operation.... But I remember the 2 set speeds, and but now I am stuck w/ this dopey variable setup.

    wiper frenzy

    64 Dart specific -- were some wipers 2 fixed speeds (slow / fast) and then maybe others had an option of (an attempt, anyway) of variable speed. I recall my 64 Dart of decades ago had 2 set speeds. The one now has this variable speed thing --and it's not all that great. Reason I ask is that a...

    sending unit way off

    It's all over the place even w a nearly full tank. I am guessing it is the sending unit, anyway. not the gauge itsself. Some say old ones can have ther contacts, etc cleaned and be brought back . Others say there are new replacements but they all suck and pretty inaccurate right from the...

    3 on the tree .. just curious

    I realize not Mopar specific... About when did 3 on the tree manual trans stop on US cars, whether Ford, GM, Chrysler? Anyone know when the last MoPar 3/trees were finally cast aside?

    Wipers, washers, lights and horn

    1. Wipers. I wanted to put in a delay/intermittent wiper control in the 64 Dart, got one off ebay and my guys can't get it to work. Maybe it's defective but also instead of the normal 2 speed (slow/fast) setup this Dart has sort of a variable slow to fast thing (actually the difference between...

    14" hubcaps ??

    Wanted to send a big THANKS to all the replies/info and offers. I am still sorting thru it all and it's possible this project is off til next spring. But I will try to figure out what I need and then contact you all. One thing I learned.. at least in terminology, hubcap is just the little guy...

    14" hubcaps ??

    I need new tires for the '64 Dart GT convertible. 13" whitewalls w/o the huge white sidewall are impossible to find. If Coker has them I didn't find them. Everyone says go up to 14", but those gaudy, racing style wheels don't appeal to me... only hubcaps cut it in my book. But at 14" the...

    intermittent wipers

    I had wanted to install intermittent wiper (wiper delay) on the 64 Dart. It apears my stock setup is sort of a variable --speed slow to fast (although there isn't a huge difference in min and max speeds!). Were all 64s like this or was that an option with the normal 2 speed (slow/fast) as the...

    pix of fuel filter placement

    Figured it was better than my earlier post -- isn't this fuel filter in the worst possible place... right above exhaust? On my old car it was more on the side of the engine but again that was rubber hoses. Will there be more trouble on the hot as hell days w slow traffic than if mounted...

    what are good tires for 64 dart slant 6

    So then going up to 14" rims would change speedo reading.... I guess you could calculate how much... Everyone is saying 14" is the way to go.

    manual vs. auto choke on /6

    My early 70s engine in the 64 dart had a correct carb put on.. He thought the auto choke the car had was pretty much toast and put a manual choke on. I am still learning it but car still stalls a lot on cold acceleration. I don't remember my 64 Dart back in the 1st half of the 70s acting like...

    what are good tires for 64 dart slant 6

    Thank you for all the info. Seems like going up to 14" wheels is the trend. will consider this but doesn't that mess w/ your speedometer accuracy?
