Not sure about rear end alterations since the car was built as is when I bought it. Tires are MT 275/50/R15. If there are some detail pictures or measurements (limited on tools for measuring) PM me and I will check them out.

Bump: $12,000 Firm

Price Drop: $13,000

I had a lapse of memory there, sorry. The swedge issue I ran into was when trying to change out the studs for longer ones. Not fastened hub to drum.

The hubs on mine were basically fastened into the drum using what's apparently called a swedge. So on scarebird kit you have to retain the hubs and discard the drum. Getting those apart was a pain for me but I didn't have many tools to work with

OP..I had a difficult time getting the hubs separated from the drums on front with SBP. There is a tool called a swedge cutter to help but others have been able to cut and grind or press them out. The rest of the conversion went smoothly for me. I added a proportioning valve to my setup.

I hate to admit this, but I've got no idea what the timing is right now. I'll do some research on that, figure it and then bump this thread when I know more. Thank you all for the input thus far!

Hey guys, A couple of years back bought an already built 440 Dart. I don't think it has been lightened up much so I estimate 3300 - 3500 lb range. Parts that I know of: Indy EZ-1 Aluminum Heads Indy Dual Plane Intake 727 Trans with 3.55 Rear 10.5:1 Compression Holley 850 DP, electric fuel...

Where does it lead from either end?..aka parking spot and connector

It is possible to disassemble the switch and clean it. I did this but only because I had ordered a new one and had nothing to lose at that point. Take care to not bend the plastic or break one of the canceling cams. Mine was for 72 Swinger but I believe that's probably the same deal.

Thank you and I certainly will. Ordering the Proportioning valve now. In regards to the hubs, if mine don't give me any problems I don't intend on having him make any new ones. If the need arises, get with me and I'll see about his prices. I know the RAM MAN had them for $125 each, not...

Much appreciate the offer. I was able to borrow a hole saw from a neighbor to remove the material holding the studs in. Got the hubs out finally and they're on the car now with calipers bolted up. To the naked eye they appear to be true still but we'll see. Did you use an adjustable...

Thank you for the feedback. I still haven't gotten them apart to inspect. It's on the list for tomorrow.

Also, If we can successfully spec this part out and anyone wants some made, I'll see what sort of cost he will come up with. I know the RAM MAN wanted $125 each for the ones he had and I am willing to bet we can beat that. My machinist said he'd make them out of 7075 t6 aluminum

In attempting to convert my '72 Swinger front 9" drums over to the Scarebird kit, I messed up and allowed an old shade-tree mechanic try to get the hub (un-swedged) from the drum. He beat the hell out of them with a 4lb hammer first, then tried hydraulic press and I'm pretty sure they're...

Alright so I did some additional disassembly under the column yesterday and have accessed the turn signal switch connector. I unplugged the battery and tested for continuity of each prong at the connector, compared to each place they terminate on the switch. (Forgive me if my terminology isn't...

Thanks for the feedback. I will try the tail lights again. They are new bulbs but the sockets themselves were in bad shape. I've downloaded a manual now and was working from the wiring diagram previously.

I have been getting my wife to spot the lights for me while I monkey with the wires. As I was typing the post I came to the realization that I've been thinking it was brake lights when I jumped white-red on the left side, but is that maybe just tail lights? With the headlight switch "on" I...

Its been a while and I've finally got my Dart back (moved and had it in storage). Time to revisit this problem. I spent some time today playing with the wiring. Again, I'm not savvy on electrical but will describe what I've got so far. I do have 12 volt to the pink wire on the brake switch...

Thanks Fabo. I reinstalled the taillight assemblies yesterday and had different results with the blinkers/flashers but still nothing to the brake lights. I will be away from the car today but will start back asap and try what you mentioned. Thanks again!

1972 Dart Swinger. The car has been converted to a 440 with 727 ratchet shift Having trouble with brake lights, specifically none. I took the rear light assemblies out and cleaned them thoroughly but have not yet reinstalled. I am using a low voltage circuit tester and verify that the...

Happy Thanksgiving fabo, Had a chance to work on the dart some more this morning. Verified that the fuse blows only while the car is running and alternator charging. We put as much load as we could with the alternator switch off, Radiator fans, fuel and water pump, and headlights on and the...

How did you diagnose the voltage regulator? Did it start blowing fuses or was there some other indication? I'm stumped with where to start if it isn't the voltage regulator.

Thanks 67Dart273! I've read many of your posts the last few days and you seem to be the go to expert in this area. I've read the madelectrical article and will investigate that area soon. Do you think the load from the aftermarket electrical accessories is just overheating the fuse? What is...

A quick history of the car: Recently bought this car as my first "big boy toy" as a young adult. 1972 Dart Swinger that has a 440 (1973 if I read the casting number correctly). The entire time I have owned the car I have been keeping it in my dad's garage 90 miles away. I wanted to build...
