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'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...

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'd like to get a passenger side mirror. I've had no luck finding a used one and would prefer to not pay NOS prices. Can anyone recommend a decent OER site / brand? This is the style I need: http://www.ebay.com/itm/311556691815?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT...

I need to pick up a new heater hose fitting (The heater hose nipple at the manifold) I'm not sure what size I need to get. I believe it to be 5/8" hose fitting w/ 3/8" NPT thread, but there are 2 styles, one that is slotted to tighten w/ a screwdriver, and one that has a hex lug on it. I don't...

I've seen a few run through here, but I've missed the opportunity it seems. I'm looking for a passenger side (non remote) mirror for my 1971 Dart Swinger. If anyone has one they'd like to part with, please let me know and we can figure something out. Thanks, -Jerry

I'd like to add a passenger side mirror to my '71 Dart. Can anyone recommend where to get one. I've seen a lot of them online, but I'm not 100% sure which one matches. Price seems to vary quite a bit too. 2. Do they just screw into the door, or are they bolted in from inside the door? 3...

My friend informed me that my driver side brake light was out, so I stopped and grabbed some bulbs yesterday after work. When I removed the old bulb I noticed that both filaments were still intact and that made me a bit concerned. I put in a new bulb and hit the turn signal and got nothing...

Curious if someone knows off hand what bulb number(s) is/are correct for 71 Dart side marker lights. All the places I've looked online are referencing 1156, which does not appear to be correct for side markers. Thanks, -J

So I've had my Dart for about seven months now and it is starting to be cooler again in the mornings. My heater blower has been a (up to this point) known non-working item. This morning as I was getting ready to head out to work I was doing a little bit of button mashing and switch switching...

I ordered some replacement sunvisor tips from Dante's Parts and was wondering if they are threaded or press on, if anyone knows.

Can't start a Monday without a problem I guess. I went to roll down the driver side window this morning and something snapped and hit the bottom of the door. Now my window is 1/3 down. It'll roll down, but not back up. I'm not sure what the chance of repair is as I didn't have any tools to pull...

It's a bit warm in SoCal right now. I figured I probably ought to get one of those reflective window shade things. Apparently they come in different sizes and they are a bit hard to visualize online. Does anyone know off hand what the approximate windshield dimensions are? I'm at work and the...

My Dart is missing one of the exhaust manifold studs. As my mechanic was inspecting it to repair, he noticed that my exhaust manifold has a crack in it. (I guess that explains the exhaust leak) He told me to look for an intake and exhaust manifold pair, if possible. The questions: 1. How much...

Anyone know the correct part number for, and where I can get a replacement parking brake strut spring for my 9" drum brakes? (71 Dart) I'm lead to believe that the Chrysler part number is 2072646. I don't mind if I can't find a Chrysler part, I just need one that isn't broken. My mechanic found...

I am looking for a "correct" plug wire set for my '71 225 slant 6, the kind with the sealing boots around the plug end. I picked up a set of Standard Auto wires online, betting on the picture. Turns out they were not what I needed. At least they were affordable. At any rate does anyone have...

The first major steps in my restoration project have begun. I've ordered the front suspension pieces from Rockauto. According to the tracking numbers, nearly everything should be arriving today. I also ordered a full set of KYB Gas-A-Just and new leaf spring bushings. I'm dropping my car...

I'd like to remove my radio / heater trim panel to try to (re) install the AM radio that's sitting on the floor of the Dart. I removed the 2 obvious screws, but that thing still seems locked in there. I also attempted to remove the knob on the end of the heater slider, but it didn't want to...

So I got home today and was walking past the Dart and noticed a flat rear passenger side tire. Of course due to lack of parking where I'm at, she's parked right next to the curb. One of my kind neighbors went ahead and parked so close that I can barely get to the trunk, let alone even...

The dipstick on my Slant 6 is snapped off. I'm having a hard time finding a correct replacement. Can someone tell me what model numbers of aftermarket ones I should look at? There seems to be several listed, but not all of them seem similar. Or if you know where I can order a correct one...

I was doing some looking online today and was thinking about the eventuality of replacing all my light bulbs. I'm curious if anyone has switched to LED bulbs for their cars? Found this place: http://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/led-vehicle-replacement-bulbs/vehicle/1971-dodge-dart--/15-444--/...

I'm looking for a washer fluid reservoir for my 1971 Dart Swinger. If you have one your looking to sell, please let me know. I have a working pump, just not the fluid bottle. If you know where I can get a decent reproduction, I'd appreciate that information as well. Thanks, -J Edit: I should...

My '71 Dart has a heck of a time maintaining course. Lots of steering correction. I'm hoping to make it my daily driver, but right now it's a little stressful in traffic. I've had it for about a week now and I'm assuming that aside from regular maintenance, everything is essentially stock. I...

Hi! I've recently purchased a '71 Dart Swinger w/ a 225 Slant 6. Great car, pretty decent shape and I have every intention of turning it into a daily driver. To that end, I really need to do something about the brakes. Manual drum all around currently. I'd like to do a front conversion, but...

Looks like I'm back in the Mopar game. It's been a long time. My first car in high school was a '74 Dart Sport. Not terribly long after I traded it for a '68 Coronet 500. Then I shed all my vehicles and moved to the West coast. Well, I'm living in SoCal now and my wife and I picked up a '71...
