Thanks 65Dartcharger!!!

Thank you toolmanmike! You are the second person who has referred me to Legendary. I will have a look. Thanks again!

Hello, Does anyone have any recommendations in terms of convertible top and upholstery manufactures for a 66 Dodge Dart 270? I'm looking to get my top and upholstery replaced and wanted to make sure I did my homework on the right parts for the job. Any info, thoughts and opinions would be...

UPDATE: I cleaned the fusebox, the contacts as well as the fuse holder. However, it wasn't until I removed the rear harness that the fuse stopped generating heat. I metered the fuse without the harness and I got a .01 reading, then with the harness attached, I got a reading of .07-.09. With...

You are guys are amazing! Thanks so much for all your help and guidance with trying to figure out this extremely annoying challenge -- but again I think I can say all electrical problems are annoying. So to answer Jos51700, yes there has been arching at the fuse itself on the side that...

thanks for the info you two!

Thank you much appreciated! That narrows the playing field.

Thanks for your comment. The wiring harness came out of another 66 dart that I have had for approximately 15 years which sat in storage and before that was driven very few miles. I know that the wiring is old, but the car was stored in a fairly dry climate and the harness had very few cuts in...

Hey Mopar Tim, Thanks so much for the fast response and the info! I've kinda assumed it's a short or a loose connection, but I feel like I've gone through the entire system more than once and still coming up short -- no pun intended. I was hoping to hear that it might be something else that...

Hello Everyone, Can anyone tell me why my brake light / stop light 20amp fuse heats up when I put my headlights on (66 Dart 270 convertible Slant 6)? During the day without headlights and house lights on it functions find. It's heating up so much that it's beginning to melt the fuse holder but...

Thanks. I'll keep searching for it.

Thanks 67Dart273! I actually have a test probe that works the same way, but I've been lazy. That said, I took it out today and tested everything... The only suspect contact was the black ignition post (ACC) which splits off at the splice to the windshield wipers switch, fusebox (heater), turn...

Hello again, I managed to make some DIY bulkhead gaskets with some gasket material creating a nice snug fitting to the firewall. I put everything back together, it started right up, but the ammeter was pegged to the right with my multi-meter reading 14.5volts. A little concerned about the...

Hello, 67Dart273 So I removed and cleaned the bulkhead -- it actually looks in pretty good condition. There's no corrosion or broken or loose connectors. However, I did notice that the black padding gasket was not complete and broken around the female part of the bulkhead that seals to the...

Hi 67Dart273 Thanks for all your help so far! To answer your question... The red wire is on the back of the ignition switch (Batt) connector reading .61v To clarify the other "Red Point" is at the bulkhead inside the car -- Batt (RED) .15v With Headlights on: .55v Also, i think its important...

Okay, so I made some more tests based on 67Dart273's suggestions and below are the results... A bunch of numbers that I'm not sure what to dow with, ugh!! Any help or suggestions much appreciated!! All tests performed with engine off and ignition switch turned to ON with one Probe connected...

Yes, I've checked and cleaned the grounds. When I check the grounds with the multi-meter, it's reading .01-.02 which I means the ground contacts are good, right? Thanks for your input!! Electrical troubleshooting is exhaustive : (

Hi 67Dart273 Thanks so much for offering this info. It's super helpful! I just have a few questions... once I start probing those suspect points, what am I actually looking for? A drop in voltage? In general, when I'm reading the voltage, it tends to fluctuate plus or minus .10-15v. Also...

Hello All, I’m having some frustrating issues with electrical / ignition wiring on my 66 Dodge Dart 270 (225) Slant 6. The headlights and dash lights dim at idle and brighten on acceleration as well as varying voltage with acceleration and de-acceleration. After reading quite a few posts here...

Does anyone have advice regarding all rubber or poly bushings? In general, my dart is a stock vs. custom restoration with mostly OEM parts, but I've read a lot of positive things with poly vs rubber and was planning to go poly... Is there anything I should consider? Thanks in advance!

Also, I need to let PST know the diameter of the sway bar -- Sorry for my ignorance here, but can I just take a measuring tape and measure the sway bar, or is there a more official way to do it? Thanks!

Thanks guys -- super helpful especially the member discount : )

Hello Everyone, I'm looking to do a full rebuild on the frontend of my 66 Dodge Dart, and since this will be the first time for me I would love some help on choosing which kit. So far, I'm looking at Classic industries, performance online and performance suspension technology PST which all...

Regarding the sending unit, I'm pretty sure but I could check it again when the tank is empty. and no, it was not doing this before changing the tank. Thanks for you help

Hey Bruce, I'm using the stock Holly 1920 which was rebuilt less than a year ago, then shortly after the tank was replaced. Thanks for your help. Bryce

Hello All, Can anyone point me in the right direction for gauge restoration? I have a 66 dodge dart and my temperature, gas gauge and speedo need restoring. Does anyone have any good suggestions? Thanks for your help Bryce

Hello All, I recently replaced my old tank with a new one that I purchased from Yearone and notice fairly quickly that I'm getting gas starvation symptom on left hand turns. After quite a bit of trouble shooting, I've come to the conclusion that there is no baffle sump in the tank which seems...

Hello All, Happy to introduce myself. I have a 66 Dart that I've been restoring since about 12yrs... Well, it was in storage for about 8 of those 12yrs. I've attached a photo for your viewing. I joined a-bodies only for the obvious reasons -- to meet like minded folks and hopefully get some...

Hello All I'm new to this site and was hoping you all could point me in the right direction. I have a 66 Dart Slant 6 and I recently replaced the dash and engine wire harnesses. I was able to start it once for about 10min -- everything seemed to be working, then I shut it off. I tried to start...
