    Dash light problem

    I have a 71 swinger. About 2 months ago, when driving at night, the dash lights quit working with headlights on. The dash lights work fine with just the running lights on. I replaced the headlight switch. Still have the same problem. Everything works, running lights, dome light, no dash lights...

    seat problem

    I have a nice set of buckets to go in my 71 dart but when I ran the numbers they're out of a 70 charger. Will the tracks work? Or should I use the seats with a-body tracks? Or just get a-body seats? Thanks for the input

    Sway bar with ss leaf springs

    Quick question, has anyone ever used a rear sway bar with SS springs? I'm replacing my torsion bars and adding a front sway bar. I know if I add the rear bar, it will keep the ss spring from having full travel under power. But, I have the light ss springs because of the ride height, not for drag...

    Zinc

    Recently there has been a lot of talk on zinc in older engines with flat tappet cams. I found this link on zinc in oils very interesting. http://speedtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=35836#p433871 I know a lot of people just put an additive in what ever oil they buy. You might change your mind...

    need some fuel pump help

    My fuel pump quit on my 71 swinger. The pump on the car has a tube that goes from the pump to a vent tube on the carb bowl. New pump just has the inlet and outlet for fuel. Question....do I have to hook this vent tube up? Apparently only 70-71 have this on the pump. Thanks, Russ

    I have a 71 swinger with a slant 6. I'm trying to gather my parts before I do the swap to a 408/727 with a dana 60. I know how to measure once everything is in the car but I was wandering if anyone knows the length I need from their own experience. 727 is 4"s longer. I don't know the difference...
