My 70 Dart has a 2 spoke rim blow wheel. Screws are on the back to hold the pad on.

Thanks 72blu. I am still getting up to speed on the Dart. This Dart, my wife's car, has stock power drum brakes with SBP. Potential for an upgrade to the SBP disc brake setup in the future. Not looking to change to 5*4.5. This car is going to be a cruiser, keeping the slant 6 that came with it...

Thanks clifftt and RedFish. The reviews on the booster I bought from Summit talked about part failure. I returned the part for a new one and the pedal returns with no issue. I used the adjustable rod that came with the part instead of using the stock rod and mounting bracket. This seems to have...

Hi everyone! I have read through a number of threads on wheel size and backspacing. Seems to be all over the place with the general guidance that 4.25 or 4.5 backspacing is the most common fit. I have a stock 70 dart that I am working on. It is completely stock with the small bolt pattern. I...

Just replaced the booster in my 70 dart with power drum brakes. I still need to bleed the system but had a quick question on function. When I press the pedal down, it does not return. I have to pull it back up with my foot to get it to return. I know bleeding can cause a spongy pedal, but I...

Hi Dan. I took the carb in for a rebuild and all is well. The bushings and linkages needed to be repaired.

Hi. After a few months of working on our Dart, I finally got her up and running. I went to fill her up, put 10 gallons in a mostly empty tank, and the nozzle clicked off and fuel started to overflow. I took a look under the car and fuel seems to be leaking from the rubber lines towards the top...

Hi all. I just rebuilt my 1920 and I am having some issues with the fast idle cam. I have reassembled and reinstalled the carb. Whenever I hit the gas on the car, the cam does not return back to the second step, and instead sits on the first step at a very high idle. The cam has a ton of play in...

Thanks fnabody. The article references the manifold. My fitting is on the head. Do you know if this is threaded?

I have a 70 Dart Swinger with a slant 6. While servicing the cooling system, I came across this fitting. Anyone know how I can remove/replace it? It looks like it is about to fall apart! Thanks!

Hi all. I have a 70 Dart Swinger with a Slant Six and factory AC. I am going through the car right now to ensure my wife will have no issues using it as a daily driver. After it's tune up, the next project is to work on the AC as we just moved to the Southern California desert. AC is a must! Are...

Looking for an instrument bezel and radio plate with a/c. No woodgrain, just the stock standard ones. Don't need the gauges, just the plastic. Looking for something that does not need to be refinished. Thanks in advance! Dan

You guys rock. Turns out it was a corroded positive wire. I am killing myself as I have spent hours looking through the harness and making sure all the connections were good. At least I learned a lot in the process!

I have tried jumping the solenoid on the fender with the same result - one click and done. It shouldn't be the battery as I have replaced that and it has a full charge. I replaced the batt ground cable as it was broken. The positive cable had a ton of corrosion on it that I cleaned with a wire...

Thanks discharger. I will run some tests on the starter this evening. Could a relay also be causing this problem? What about a bad connection in the bulkhead?

Hi everyone. This forum has been extremely helpful for a newbie. I have been working on my wife's 1970 Dart and have been banging my head on a wall now for a few weekends. I have replaced the ignition switch with a standard US-88 that I bought from Summit racing. The switch comes with an extra...

No woodgrain. My setup is identical to the forum link provided. Setup is chrome and black.

Hi guys, I have a 70 Dart that I am working on and the instrument bezel has seen better days. I want to replace it but can only find repo rally bezels. The 69 standard bezel looks identical to the one I have in my car. Will it fit? Anything I should be aware of? I have the standard 1970...

Thanks for all the tips. I have some prep work to do this week and am looking to spray them this weekend.

Thanks all! I have located the interior pieces I need and paint. Cheers!

Hi all. I am looking for some tips, best practices, and paint codes/colors for restoring my instrument bezel and radio/heater plate. They need some TLC and I am wanting to repaint them to look new. Is this feasible? Thanks in advance

Looks good. There are some great techniques used in this video. I am going to be using these techniques to build one for my Camaro I am working on.

Here is the fender tag

Hi all. I am working on getting my wife's Dart back in tip top shape. I need to order some interior pieces/repaint good ones and want to make sure I am getting the correct colors. The VIN doesn't seem to tell me this. Our VIN is: L - Dart A Body L - Low 23 - 2 Dr Hardtop C - 225 RG engine...

Thanks for the tips guys. I ended up using a puller with a washer as Backally suggested and it came right off. I removed the housing the holds the ignition switch to clean it and am having some challenges getting it to reseat. Any tips to getting this thing back together? The shifter seems to be...

:thumbsup:

Thanks Halifax. I used a screwdriver but was cautious as I didn't want to dent the housing or break anything. I will see where I can get with a puller this evening. I have let is soak in WD40 overnight to try and see if that helps. Also tried tapping the bearing with a small punch to see if I...

Hi guys. I am working on replacing the ignition switch on my wife's 70 Dart Swinger. I have removed the steering wheel, blinker assembly, and snap ring in order to remove the housing. It seems that the housing is stuck (bearing does not seem to be moving on the shaft) and I am concerned with...

Hi all, I am new to the forum. My wife and I are looking to make some improvements to her 1970 Dart Swinger so I figured I would enlist the expertise of the forum if possible. I have a few things I need to take care of and wanted to see if you guys could help. I need to replace/fix the...

Hi, I am selling my rebuild kit and disc brake conversion kit for a 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger. Everything is new in box as I did not get around to installing it and am now going to be selling the car to move overseas. Front end rebuild parts were purchased from Classic Industries Disc brake...
