    hazards blowing fuse now.

    Question. I have a 71 dart with a rally dash. All the lights where working before hand except for the horn. I mean the turn signals and the hazard lights. Also if you put on the left hand turn signal the switch wouldn't stay down because the plastic was broken I believe. I replaced the wiring...

    master cylinder upgrade and offset ?

    I need to switch master cylinders as I have gone from Disk/Drum to Disk/Disk. I would also like to install one of the offset MC kits to get away from tall valve cover as well. What is everyone recommending for this upgrade. Cost is somewhat of a factor but safety takes priority over all. Thanks,

    pipe size from collector to tail pipe.

    Hi, Well I went with all the advice last time when talking about modifying my Tri-y headers. I scrapped the idea and went with the TTi 2" long tubes. So if anyone is looking for a set of Tri-y headers I have some for sale. Even with all the questions and order process they still required a...

    71 Dart Headlight screw.

    Hi, Can anyone tell me the length of the long headlight screw that goes in the top inside hole for the headlight bezel? There are 4 screws and I have the 3 smaller ones. Just looking to get the longer one. If anyone knows the length and thread/pitch that would be awesome. Thanks,

    Modifying headers, what size collector should I use???

    71 Dart. Total new rebuild, motor dynode at 508hp@5700 and 565ft, tq @3600 So I finally got my 440 mounted in the car earlier this week. The car was an automatic before. As it turns out the driver’s side shorty header ends up coming out right at the Z-bar linkage and then pointing right at the...

    72 A833 parts question????

    Hey all, I have been looking for a A833 for a while, but no rush since the rest of the car was still in the building stage. Now the motor is done and the car is coming along nicely but guess what no transmission yet. The problem is I found a 72 A833 that needed to be rebuilt or reconditioned...

    carburator or fuel injection debate.

    It's been about 2 years along in the 71 dart build, but I have a budget issue now. This hasn't been a non-budget build but it has been a wait and save to get the parts I want project. I have moved springs in, mini-tubbed, built and shortened 8 3/4 rear, new ralley dash, replaced fire wall, rear...

    Mickey Thompson S/R's

    Hi, I am looking for new tires for my 71 dart. Just finished the spring relocation, mini-tub and the rearend is shortened. I am going to be running 15"x7" front rim and 15"x10" rear. I really like the looks of the Sportsman S/R's but it sounds like getting front tires may be an issue. I...

    Quick wheel question.

    What is the most popular backspace on a 15" x 10" rim? I am in the process of shortening my rearend and want the most options/choices for wheels in the near future. I would have thought that 5" offset would be. The guy at the local wheel shop says that 3.75" offset is. Mind you he wasn't...

    rear end spring perch location ?

    Hi, I have mini-tubbed and moved the springs in under the frame on my 71. It has super sport springs on it. The question is, on the spring perch there is 3 holes drilled in them. If I was to move the perch backwards so that the front hole was on the centering bolt for the springs, what would...

    Shortening rear end and backing brace?

    Hey, I am going to build a "B" or "C" body 8 3/4" rear end for my 71 dart. Is there a better choice to start with? I have been looking up Dana's but they are very expensive and this is a street car that may make the odd trip to the track. Right now it has a complete 8 3/4" "A" body 4" SBP...

    8 3/4 axle upgrade question

    Hey, I am going to be changing my 8 3/4 rear axles from SBP to BBP as I have moved the springs inboard and mini-tubbed the 71. Anyone have suggestions for rear axle replacements? I haven't decided on if I should shorten the rearend or just go with a larger offset rim. I am looking to put 29"...

    upper control arm question?

    I have a 71 Dart. I am going to be changing to the BBP front disk brakes from the SBP front disk brakes. Is going with the stock (73 and newer) upper control arms the easiest/most cost effective? Or is changing over to the tublar style the better thing to do? It's not that cost is no object...

    Mini-tub and spring relocation?

    Hey all. Was wondering if anyone has used (US Car Tool's) mini-tub and spring relocation kits? They look fairly straightforward in the design and installation. After that, do you shortern the rearend or can you just go with offset rims? I have about a 1500$ budget, and plan on doing it...
