Don't you just love it when you research and hunt down parts and after you find it, buy it and install it, all the ads show up after the fact?

On my Dart resto, the battery is relocated in the trunk. I have the good thick gauge cable and will be buying a new hold down kit for a neater look. I am looking at Optima batteries. It looks like the yellow series is the better one. It's a 440 with 11.5 compression, electric fan and electronic...

As we are getting closer to my full resto 69 Dart I would like to know what year Dakota master cylinder to use. It's manual disc/drum conversion. Being a 440 with aluminum finned valve covers the factory master cylinder just touches them. I want more clearance rather than grinding down a vintage...

Does anyone have a parts car with this section circled in red? Rotted out on both inner and outer right where the seam is. Thanks in advance.

I've been searching for a pair for my 69 Dart restoration. Where can I find a pair of these? Seems like all I find is for a Jeep. Are they all the same? It's the ones that mount under the rear frame arch.

On my 69 Dart resto. Since I am replacing the steering box, the old one is leaking and has play in it, should I go with Borgeson or Firm Feel? I know the Borgeson is smaller and lighter. Other than the column steering rod modification is there anything else I need to watch for? Is the header...

In another thread I am posting the restoration of my 69 Dart GT 440/727. Tin Cup is taking care of all metal/body work. I'm doing the mechanical. I bought it about 20+ years ago so a lot of the parts are pretty much what it came with. The water pump pulley got damaged in the process of...

Since my 69 Dart has a set of super stock leaf springs, are they still the same A-body spring bushings or do they use the larger b-bodies?

I'm restoring my 69 Dart and going for a 440 GTS tribute. When looking at the paint, Duple-color had Chrysler orange and Chrysler Hemi orange. I ordered the regular orange but it looks a little too dark. Is the Hemi orange closer to the original 440 color?

Are there differences in the size of the vent bolts for an 8 3/4? I took the one off my spare from a 65 B-body Wagon 741 case and it was too big for my 69 A-body 741. I know the pumpkin doesn't matter, it's the axle housing. Also the two had different splines. I do not know it the one in my Dart...

Why is it that every time I try to log in I have to change my password? It even happens when I close down my browser and log back in. It doesn't recognize the password I just reset.

I'm having a tough time trying to locate a /6 throttle cable for a 1965 B-body. I need the extra length over the v8 cables. Are the A-body cable the same length? Stock v8 cables are 20" on the b-body. Con someone post the length of theirs? Thanks.

I've seen a few posts about the TC bolts hitting the dust cover and making crazy noise. I have a 360 with an aftermarket flex plate that is a little thicker than the original. As I turn the engine by hand I can hear the TC bolts scraping. Is there an after market version with a little more...

Since I've got my 360 in the car I was originally going with a 5 1/4" water pump pully. My 360 has the older cast iron WP to match my radiator. The bottom hose is on the drivers side. I'm looking at all the aftermarket crank pulleys and none are for the earlier drivers side lower rad hose. The...

Just got my 360 back from my buddy. There are a few things that I have to do. One is the heater hose and water pump to manifold bypass nipples. What should I use as a thread sealer? Just regular teflon tape? My buddy also had to extract one of the broken exhaust manifold studs that go into the...

I am upgrading my wagon to a 360/727 combo so the original 273/904 is up for sale. The 273 ran excellent. I drove it a lot and it was a great motor even during our heat waves. I was going to pull it and go through all the gaskets and freeze plugs because it did leak everywhere. The 904 blew a...

Other than the marker lights is there any other difference between and 67 Dart front fender and a 69?

Hi all, Some of you know my buddy Tincup and his 63 5.7 Hemi Dart. Well we are finally doing a full resto of my 69 Dart GT. I've been collecting parts over the years in preparation of this. One thing that we are looking for is a really nice drivers fender. Mine is in rough shape. It can be...

So my 360 swap is coming along. I don't know if this sounds dumb but I have a couple of different size crank pulleys. I believe the larger diameter came off the 360 and the smaller one from a 318. Is there an advantage from one over the other? My 360 is basically stock except for an aluminum...

Does anyone use these? Are they better for header clearance? What's a good one to use?

Hi all, I'm scrolling around and I noticed the doing a 360 swap will require either the 360 torque converter OR flex plate. So if I am already using a 360 torque converter in a 727 will the stock 318 flex plate be good? Also, should I replace the stock 360 harmonic balancer with another stock...

I'm here at FABO because you know your 273s. I have my 65 Belvedere wagon with a 273/904. I am looking to do the top end this winter. Nothing radical. Bottom end is fine, good oil pressure and no smoke. What are some good vendors for 65 273 parts? I know about the different head angle from the...

It's been a while since I've posted here. I have been dealing with B and C bodies lately while my A-body sits on the back burner for now. So in a thread on FBBO I talked about finding another 273 at a local junk yard that's going out of business. They said it came out of either a 66 or 67...

As I posted earlier I started the restoration of my 69 Dart GT. I would like to replace the fiberglass hood. I bought it years ago from Unlimited and it's a piece of junk. I'd like to get a new one with scoop already molded in. Just like the one in the pic on my car now. What's a good place to...

After owning my 69 Dart GT for about 20 years I've finally decided to do a restoration. It's a built 440/727. I posted about getting it back on the road last year. Well I have a friend (another member here) that's doing the majority of it. He'll do all the bodywork/rust repair and metal...

Our niece and nephew came by with their kids this Saturday. The little ones asked me about the red car. I told them it was a devil car. So of course they all wanted to go in it. I drove them around the yard. They loved the sound of the big block. Now they know "Uncle Grandpa" has the coolest car.

Hi all. My Dart, 69 GT center console shifter so no column shifter. My issue is that when I put the column back together (still mounted in the car) the bolts that sandwich the turn signal section came loose and the whole assembly would move around. Took it apart again and re-aligned them and it...

I've owed my Dart for almost 20 years. Worked on it off and on and this looks like the year for the Dart. A friend was over looking at it because he is going to do the bodywork on it. He noticed the door latch jam stud had welds around it that doesn't look factory. Both sides are the same. Is...

What do you all use for aftermarket gauges? It seems like these "universal" gauges don't seem to have the right fittings for the motor. 1965 225/6 1 bbl auto. I just got a universal water temp gauge and all the fittings look too large for the small /6 temp sending unit. I really don't want to...

The console auto shifter in my 69 Dart 440/727 is pretty sloppy. I just want to rebuild it to get it like new again. What's a good rebuild kit to use and from who?
