I'm not opposed to the idea, but I was under the impression, maybe mistakenly, that the front and back glass needs to be removed? It'd be a whole lot easier if the glass could stay in.

I am looking for recommendations on vinyl top replacement in San Diego, for my '71 Swinger. (It's still for sale, but no one seems to be beating down my door to take it off my hands.) In the event that I just decide to keep the car, I'm kicking around things I'd like to do. One of which is...

I bought it with the '70 bumper on it. ... passenger quarter looks like it is from a '72, incidentally. It has some nice features. I wish that I had more money or a larger driveway. :)

I'm reluctantly selling my Dart. I had hoped that I'd have far more money/time to throw at it than I do. ... I'm sure it's a familiar story to a lot of folks. My full ad is up on San Diego Craigslist: Classic 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger: $5,000 OBO (Price Reduced) I am also open to the idea of...

Read this last night. I think I'm going to order a Tri-Power distributor. They have about a 1-2 week lead time at Performance Distributors according to the email I received from them this morning.

Quick follow up on this, finally just took the Dart into the shop yesterday. Turns out the problem was 2 broken wires. One was just behind the tail light assembly. The other was further back in the harness. 2.5 hrs of labor to diagnose and repair. I'm totally ok with that. I can now slow, stop...

Now that you mention it, I searched for a socket for 1971 (the year of the car) and not for 1970 (the year of the bumper/tail lights on the car). I am not sure if the one I got (DORMAN 85860) will be quite the same. I'll see if I can fix the ground this weekend. Thanks.

I know this post is a bit aged, but I'm having the same tail light issue again. I picked up a Dorman "universal" replacement socket that was specified for this car. ... I can seem to find any solid instruction on how to actually replace the socket. I'm sure I could probably disassemble it, but I...

I was fortunate (depending on point of view) in that my car is more or less stock. Easy to look for parts. I believe that '73 and up a-bodies were all switched to larger ball joints. So take a look at '73+ Dart and I think you'll get what you need for ball joints. I'm unsure about the tie-rod...

fwiw I bought all my front end part from Rock Auto using Moog and Raybestos Professional depending on availability. I'm pretty pleased with the results. I didn't get the convenience of a kit, but the price point was fine and quality is about as good as you get for off the shelf parts (that I'm...

I'm a little late to this thread, but my brother just picked up a '69 Valiant 2dr sedan. Any recommendation on source for replacement windshield. I'm not super familiar w/ the sedan side of things. Thanks, Jerry

Anyone know offhand what diameter washer hose the "F" connectors from the original post use? I'm seeing 5/32 and 7/32 as options.

Are you sure you didn't get the soft Corinthian leather cover? ;)

I have a rimblow wheel on there currently. It's in need of some resto. Multiple cracks and someone disconnected the rim horn activation, likely with good reason, and cut a hole in the center cover and put a horn button in it. :(

So with the FiTech (or perhaps the new Holley) TBI setups, can you really dial them low enough?

Presumably then, as I currently have a rimblow wheel, the Grant 846 will be a direct bolt on for my application. Hopefully MRGTX will be able to get all his needed parts.

The Grant website has a vehicle specific search. According to that, the #3314 adapter kit is correct for my '71 Dart. Presumably it is for yours as well. That kit is $18.93+ $4.99 shipping on Amazon.

That does look decent. For my application I might have to roll the #243 for the wood grain since I have gold interior.

I'm glad this thread popped up. I was going to ask the same question.

Thanks! Great info and still in stock. Just ordered 2 of them so that I can replace mine and have a spare.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I think I'm going to opt for the Ignotor II at this time and see what the future holds after that.

Thanks I'll take a look. -Jerry

Thanks. I will take a look when I'm not at work. That site (along with most sites) is blocked by the work firewall as "uncategorized." -Jerry

I've looked a little bit at the Pertronix stuff. (wasn't sure the III version was applicable to my 225) ... I would also need to get different plug wires as well, correct? Thanks, Jerry

I've read through a lot of threads on here and am aware of a few options when it comes to switching from points to electronic ignition. I was wondering if there are any complete kits out there though. Perhaps it is a little bit lazy on my part, but I'd like to have the assurance that I'm...

I don't recommend it, but I was able to change the mounting depth on my old '74 by applying a liberal amount of BFH until the bracket was in the position I needed it to be in.

PM sent. Thanks, -J

Thank you. I appreciate it. -Jerry

I'm interested in one of the used ones, assuming that it is passenger side, non-remote in at least driver quality. -Jerry

No worries. I appreciate you checking. -Jerry
