    Slant 6 down on power.

    I haven't been using my Dart much lately and have noticed it is way down on power. Vacuum is about 10 - 11 at idle which according to all the info I read is 'late valve timing' The motor is sound, blows no smoke and uses no oil. Any thoughts ?

    Mopar electronic ignition?

    The ignition on the Dodge stopped working and we had to fit a new module. The base was loose so we pulled it apart to find it was full of what appeared to be wet sand? Is this supposed to be some sort of moisture absorbent? If so it certainly worked. So much water it fried the ignition...

    Dual Stromberg CD150 carbs

    I have just got a complete dual carb set up for my 66 Dart GT automatic. It uses twin Stromberg CD 150 side draft carbs. It came off a pretty wild good running engine when the owner changed to triple Webers. Has anyone run one of these set ups ? Does anyone have any info they could...

    Slant 6 Automatic problems

    Used the 66 Dart to tow the camper trailer to a show yesterday. Coming home there is a big hill just as I near home. Pulled to slow lane and went up hill in second gear and then the auto would not shift back to top gear. Had to drive the last bit home slowly in second gear. Trans was real hot...

    What are these off?

    A good friend has a set of wheels and hub caps and is wondering what they are off. The hubcaps are Mopar but every pic we can find with this style of cap has a Mopar emblem of some style in the centre. These are plain in the centre. Anyone got any ideas?

    Outside mirror

    I am going to start using my 66 Dart GT as a tow vehicle for our small camper trailer. Rear vision will be impaired somewhat when towing and given that I live in New Zealand and we drive on the left side of the road I wanted to fit an outside mirror to the right hand door. I have managed to pick...

    66 Dart heater and air conditioning

    Our 66 Dart has had the a/c and heater plumbing removed from the /6 engine. Everything is complete inside the car and I have the parts to reinstall. (I think) The a/c was removed when the headers were installed by the previous owner. I can figure out most of it but there are a couple of...

    Windscreens

    I have had the misfortune to crack a windscreen on the '66 Dart. :banghead: It happened in some road repairs just out of town. The insurance company has accepted the claim and will be fitting a new screen. However, living in New Zealand they said there are no screens here. (As the car is one...

We found this one at a local car show and just had to have it. It is a 66 Dart GT. 6 cylinder automatic. Was a one owner car when imported to New Zealand...
