    73 Dart Swinger So. Oregon ... $899

    I really hate selling cars. I've had this for quite awhile and would like to see it go to someone who will have fun with it, drop in a v8, or just casually drive the hell out of it. I have extra parts. Super six manifold and carb (needs rebuilt), rebuilt slant engine assembled by builder...

    Alternator off 360 swap to 225?

    I have a late 70's Dodge truck with 360 that I'm hoping will bolt in to my 73 Dart with 225. Physically looks the same, numbers are different. Will this work?

    5x4.5 = 5x115mm .. right?

    Like a few others here I'm looking for either 16"-17" rims for my 73 dart with big bolt pattern. I was looking at some aftermarket rims made for a newer Chrysler 300. The bolt pattern is 5x115mm, which converted = 5x4.5inch; right? The problem with these is the widths are mostly 8"...

    Ign switch or ??

    Turned out to be the switch. I bought a ballast just in case, I now have a spare :) I have never had so much trouble putting an ignition switch in a car before. There are major clearance issues getting the old wires out and the new ones in, and how do you take off that lock plate anyway? I...

    Bench with fold down armrest?

    3 years ago I was looking for one too. There were actually A-Bodies in my local yards even then, but I never found one :( Good luck on your search though. I always liked those :)

    Ign switch or ??

    I'm pretty sure this is the ignition switch, but you guys know a lot more than me. I really just started driving this car. It's a 73 Dart with stock ignition system. It died on the way home today after cruising on the backroads. I pulled the coil wire and ballast resistor connectors off...

    Let me see your Dart!

    I'm from the US and after seeing your car I MUST have that front end. I have a 73 Dart with the ugly 73-76 style US pointy hood/bumper. Are those Dart based Chargers with that grill common in your area? Are they valuable? Will 1967-1969 Fenders/Hood fit on 70-76 Darts? (US version) It looks...

    Dantes

    I ordered my vinyl top through him. It worked out ok, but it was actually Legendary Auto's product. Very happy with his service though.

    Clutches on right hand turns, not left.

    I burned a lot of tires in my turbo minivan so I cruise like a granny in the Dart ... until I get my turbo system installed. I jacked up the motor to inspect the mount.. the drivers side rubber is almost completely gone. Once I removed the pressure I noticed how bad it really is. I'm...

    Clutches on right hand turns, not left.

    I just started driving this car after owning it for 3 years. I get side tracked a lot. So today I took it on the mountain highway and drove 60+ mph for the first time. The problem has developed... Not only does it "clutch" going 50mph on a 45mph corner, it started grinding/knocking. Theres...

    Clutches on right hand turns, not left.

    Nice response :) It's not something I do for fun, it's just an example. I noticed the problem in town, so I tried to accelerate fast around corners to see what was happening. Any hard right turn under acceleration does it. Not trying to impress anyone or waste rubber :salute:

    Clutches on right hand turns, not left.

    I have a 73 Dart with I think a 904.. whatever light duty auto came in a 73. If I try to take a hard right turn and spin the tires around the corner, it will just clutch and rev the engine. I can burn the tires on left hand corners fine though. :-| And it's not trying to...

    Late 80's /6 swap to 73

    My slant is tired, and I think it may need a headgasket. So rather than fix it I'm hoping to do a quick junkyard swap. The only one in town is from a late 80's truck. I know these have the hydro lifters, and probably all around worse than earlier motors. But will it bolt on to my 73 Dart...

    Rear drip rail on vinyl top. Need help.

    Thanks! Thats just what I needed to see. I guess mine isn't as bad as I thought. It is missing a tiny bit, I wasn't aware that the indent went in so much. I thought it ended right at the chrome trim, but theres a little extra space too.

    Rear drip rail on vinyl top. Need help.

    Its a 73 2 door dart. It should be the same on all darts 67-76. I'll see if I can get a pic. I'm finishing up my bondo on seams right now, top will be ready in 2 days when the paint is dry. I'm stuck on this one though.

    Rear drip rail on vinyl top. Need help.

    I'm almost ready for my vinyl top installation, but I'm unsure of what to do with the rear drip rail area. Mine seems to be missing a chunk on both sides, and theres some old bondo residue remaining. Can someone post a picture of their drip rail right behind the rear side window? One with a...

    seat belt cleaning

    I usually re-dye mine with RIT. I bought an old ceramic crock pot at GoodWill for $3 specifically for dying stuff. Just toss them in and make some stew. But, I know how to get them real clean too. My first step in dyeing is to boil them with regular dish soap. This gets out all the really...

    Another Molding clip question.

    I just got my vinyl top in from http://dantesparts.com/vinyltop.html. I havnt test fit it yet, but it looks like good material and stitching. Since nobody has any leads on the clips, and I've emailed every A-Body specific supplier I could find, I'm going to try other methods. I'll post...

    Another Molding clip question.

    Anyone know where to buy the plastic clips? I'm hoping to re-do my top in 2 weeks, but I cant locate a supplier.
