Yes Napa is trying to source something for me but he said hes not very confident he will find anything other than the $980 one he found already. PASS. Yes Ive checked kijiji and nothing, Craigslist isnt very popular around here but I will check it out. I found a couple on amazon canada but...

Thanks motorpirate for the reply but Im in Canada so to get that radiator with exchange and shipping will be close to $600 dollars. Ive been down the ebay road before and it typically costs double by the time I have it in my hand.

I have a 74 Dart Sport Slant 6 with automatic, my radiator split along the top outlet and there are no shops close to me that can fix it even if it is repairable. This is just an everyday driver so Im not looking to spend alot of money on a new radiator and was wondering if there is another...

They do yes.

Thank you sir. No I have not put a timing light on it, what should the timing be set at? Its a stock /6.

Anyone? Y'all must know more than spark plug tubes on here :lol:

So I finally got this done this weekend. Kinda set the valves but Im not too confident they are good, well unless it should sound like a tractor...if so she's perfect! She fired rite up so that was positive. Thanks for the help from those who commented. PO had 2.5 liters of oil in it...

I dint think setting the valves would be so much of a problem either TBH, I have been told it was in the service manual when these cars were bought so it cant be that difficult but here I am asking questions with few replies. Im more concerned about bolting the rocker arm shaft on from one...

I got my head on last night and all torqued down, put the original rods from the 225 in and set the rocker shaft from the 170 on and got to thinking ( I tend to overthink things sometimes) these rockers are set to whatever the 170 rods/lifter were set to on the 170 and maybe they will screw...

Life got in the way on this project but it is the last step to getting the car on the road and i have 1 last question. Do I use the rocker shaft & rods from the engine in the car or use the ones from the donor head Im putting on? Thanks!

74 Dart Sport with stock 14" rally wheels & stock OE front disc brakes, slant 6 power! Here we go again...sorry. FWIW Ive read hundreds of threads on this here and just looking to confirm some things! I dont want or need anything fancy as i plan to upgrade to a 15" wheel at some point but want...

Thanks Tooljunkie, you have put my mind at ease.

Thanks for the reply. The etch primer is the Duplicolor self etch primer, it does not say anything on the can about priming afterwards. As for the paint I applied over the etch primer it was some color match stuff from napa, has a hardener activater built in it that you depress on the bottom...

I have a guy coming to help me replace the vinyl top on my `74 Dart Sport this weekend and may have done a boo boo. Old top was removed and I sanded the roof down to the steel, fixed a spot here and there, as the roof was sanded down to bare steel I painted it all with etch primer then scuffed...

Thanks for the informative replies fellas, this will certainly help me! Here is the gasket photo. I also noticed they did not use the cone washers, I have some but am nervous about replacing them as the ones on there now are working with no leaks. Any thoughts on that?

Okay so I picked up a head gasket from Napa, and the guy at the counter said I should use this aerosol copper spray stuff on the gasket, block and head before assembly so it seals better so I grabbed that too lol, but I dont know if I need it so thought Id ask here. Also, can I reuse the head...

Im not a mechanic at all, lets start there lol. My 225 has a broken stud in the block, manifold I believe it is, someone drilled it out but its crooked and doesn't seem to want to draw tight anymore, so wondering if I can just pull the entire head with manifold, carb everything from my 170...

We are on a septic system, I had it pumped out last year after us being there for 12 years and there was about 6" of sludge at the bottom, guy pumping the tank (whom I know and has been doing this for 15 years) said its working perfectly so see you in another 12! He did tell me when it comes to...

This is a 74 Dart Sport. I would have to get a glass shop remove the rear window if it needs out for the clips to be installed, not something I want to tackle!

No studs so they need to be screwed on.

Should the windshield trim clips be installed before the windshield is in or can they be installed afterwards. Same for the rear, the rear glass is still in the car so Im hoping I can install the clips without removing the rear glass but not sure on either? Thanks!

Thanks for all the replies but still no answer to my question! Has anyone purchased a top from topsonline?

Im replacing the top on my 74 Dart Sport, it is the full roof top. Has anyone bought a top from topsonline? Here is the top I was looking at but it does not show the vinyl on the A pillars and was wondering if anyone knew first hand...

Thanks fellas. I tried to remove this last night, there is 1 nut I cant seem to get at though! Any tricks to getting at it? Its on the bottom side slightly to the left of where the 'bowl' for the choke bolts on but you probably figured this is the bolt I was referring to. Putting this back...

Just acquired this sweet 74 Dart Sport and she needs a manifold gasket. Seems I also have a broke stud on the manifold closest to the firewall. 2 questions to start... 1 - is the nut pictured on backwards? 2 - can you buy the brass washer? (im missing one) Thanks guys. And great to be back...

I mean turning the key forward to the first position as auxilary. Not point no. One of the tabs inside the dist cap.

I have a 383 with EI in my car and when I turn the key to the auxiliary position it has power, I know because there was a loud buzzing noise coming from the distributor and when I touched the coil wire I got a bad zap. I pulled the cap off and found one of the contacts has a pretty bad burn...

The only update I can provide is Ive sold the car...work, kids & life in general continued to slow my build down and I didn't want to be into another 3-4 years and countless money spent to wait to drive it. It was a very hard decision but I picked up another mopar that is basically put gas in...

The manifold on that side of the car has the spring loaded heat control valve so I assume that could be why I hear it on that side of the car.

Thank god. And you too TrailBeast!
