    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...

    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

    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

    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 ??

    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...

    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

    Mine don't look too bad but no idea how old the are... 2 are matched Coopers, other 2 don't match each other. Best one would be the spare. My tire guys say they can't get anything in whitewall from their suppliers. They showed me a site Coker Tire, but those tires are expensive as hell, 150...

    slant and leaded/unleaded gas

    Well we know the slant in my '64 Dart is a later one probably early 70s. Does that make any difference from the original one as far as the problem w/ no more leaded gas... actually when was it.. 1980s? that leaded gas was phased out? Should I be using an additive of some sort in this...

    Paid a lot to have a 3 tree put in the '64 Dart Convert that had PB auto. Trans was rebuilt, but there are big column shift probs.

    3/tree questions

    Just got the 64 Dart back that had a 3 tree put in to replace the PB auto. The only black steering column 3 tree car I could find was a rough on ( for sale now). The shifter seems kind of loose/floppy ... I remember my old one as tight and precise feeling. Of course that was 40 years ago(!) EVen...
