Turned on the wipers last night and all I got was a click clack from in the dash so I guess the linkage has come loose. Its a 74 dart with factory air how much of a pain is it to get to the wiper linkage?
That I cannot tell you, I read an article I believe on the B body site comparing the power the Dana 60 absorbed compared to the 8 3/4. Look at the size and weight differience between the Dana 60 the 8 3/4 and the 7 3/4.
It takes more power to turn the 8 3/4 than it does the 7 1/4 stay with the 7 1/4. A heavy duty suspension option was available with the slant six 7 1/4 rear package.
Any way to find out what the offset is on different bodies? On my dart I have wheels marked 14x6, a friend gave me another for the spare it's markedd 14x6 but has about one half in. More off set.
How much did you mill off the head and block? Back in the seventies I milled .100" off a slant six head and used .060" shims under the rocker arm stands to space the rockers up. Direct connection recommended this to maintain rocker arm geometry.
thanks for the responses, I'm a member on here, trying to get him joined up. He has the 63 valiant wagon with the 360 and a 62 sport fury with a 413, he had never heard of the site.
At my cousins house right now, he has a 63 valiant wagon with a built 360. He wants to upgrade his brakes already has an a body 8 3/4 read fited with 10" drums and wants to fit disc brakes to the front. He has a nice set of wheels and tires so wants to keep the small bolt pattern. cab this be...
I milled .090" off the head of a /6 I had years ago, this changes your rocker arm geometry if I remember right I shimed my rocker arm stands .040" never had any problems.
I don't see a blower drive just a duel inlet Holley, but it still looks good. Not something would I would build but it's his money, he spent it the way he wanted.
Done by differient shops but they were top shops/trim shops this time it goes to a body shop the rust will be removed right and painted white. I think the tutone white with the catch me copper looks good.
I have a 74 dart with a white vinyl top, it's been replaced three times and has rust bubbles coming up under it now. The vinyl is coming off and it will get painted white this time and I won't have to worry about it.
been on the b body site a while, just picked up a really nice 74 dart se for a driver. I'm the forth owner has right now 45,308 miles with all documtation from day one. When I get some pictures loaded i'll post some.
