    Swapping for an OD 904?

    I couldn't find any threads in the search about this. I was considering finding a later overdrive geared 904 for my slant equipped '74 dart swinger, since they can be found in the various slant trucks around. Are there any real benefits to this? Has anyone else done this, and if so, any real...

    Two minor questions.

    The car is a 1974 dart swinger, 225 /6. 1: The light switch gets hot during use, at the end of my 45 minute commute, it is hot to the touch, not quite to a painful hot, but close. Is this normal? If not, how can I fix it? 2: I have done LEDs in all of my marker lights. If I switch to...

    Best rear gears for my combo?

    I'm building a 318 (1973 built) for my car, right now it's a slant car with a 7-1/4 rear with 2:93 gears. The 318 will be a ~9-1 compression with an SP2P 4 barrel intake, using a small thermoquad (750cfm, if I remember right) I might be using headers, but im not sure if they fit yet. I'm also...

    Patriot tight tuck headers

    Fuel sender going bad?

    I'm not %100 sure if this is the problem or if I have a grounding issue; My '74 swinger's fuel gauge has been acting odd, it's acting like the tank won't fill all the way, but I know it is. the gauge used to go a little past the full line when full, now it won't reach the full line. When...

    ID help

    So a little while back, my brother says that I can have his old duster, a 440 conversion '70 he bought. And before anyone asks, I have no clue if it runs, i'm not going to make it my project, and no, i'm not selling it. Well, I decided to take him up on this, and I was thinking a 440 car would...

    Header gaskets

    This has probably been done to death, but I wanted to know what some of you guys have used for a header gasket. I am putting headers (not sure what brand) onto a mild 318. So far I am thinking of using percys dead soft on the collector and exhaust ports, but does anyone have any other...

    Radio problems

    For a while now, i have had proplems with excessive noise and squeals coming from my radio, and i'm finally getting close to a solution. Everytime the car was running, the radio would put out a loud hum, and occasionally a loud, sharp, squeal. It made it impossible to use the radio.(sensitive...

    A body cruise control?

    my dad and I have been working on a 1966 charger, and I noticed that there is some interchange between some of the parts, which got us on the topic of cruise control; in the earlier B bodies, it was rare, but in the A bodies it was nonexistent. My dad commented he had never seen one, so I was...

    Craigslist find

    I saw this ad on craigslist http://boise.craigslist.org/pts/4903488005.html It says that it came out of a john deere swather, and I was wondering if the industrial slants were different in any way; higher compression, stronger parts, etc.

    Antique champion plugs

    I went to a junkyard in mountain home, and came home with a box of antique plugs that has been in a shed for easily fifty years. Can anybody tell me an approximate date? I figured out that they probably were put into the old motorcycle V-twins of the 20's 30's 40's, but that is...

    Anyone know where to get this?

    I have a squeal coming from my radio, and I am reasonably sure that it is due to a bad ignition coil suppressor. The problem is that Ebay seems to come up short, and google only gives me a forty dollar NOS unit, does anybody know of a new unit? I figure there has to be someone reproducing these...

    Turbo recommendations

    So I am starting to collect parts for a custom project, and I wanted to know what a good turbo is for a 225 slant six. A friend of mine told me to use a turbo sized for a motor about 2/3 of what I had, with that in mind I would need a turbo sized for about a 150CI/2.4 liter sized motor. I was...

    Starter motors

    Not entirely sure if this goes here, but I wanted to know If anyone knew some mini starters that they liked for a slant six and a 318. I get sick of lifting the big factory one out of the car while working, and I figure its only going to be worse with headers.

    Cold start, or problem?

    I figured I should ask this to satisfy my curiosity, my '74 dart is a 225, backed by a 904 auto, and when its cold, I have to let it warm for a good five minutes. Mornings in Idaho this time of year are around, if not below, freezing. If I don't, and shift into reverse or drive, the motor dies...

    Thoughts on a 225 rebuild

    I have a 1976 super six motor, its probably got at least 100,000 miles on it, and since I decided to put a 318 into my dart, I wanted to set aside some money for a rebuild, and get a parts list ready. The motor is all stock, except for the timing chain I replaced, stock springs, valves, pistons...

    Boredom creates the best ideas

    Or worst depending on what kind of person you are. I was bored and thinking about the different types of darts, and I had an idea! I like the rear end of the '74-on darts; but I also like the front end of the '72's, I think they look cleaner. So the Idea is, could you take the front...
