I went to move my 1969 Dart Race Car today and I noticed what looked like a pretty severe rear oil leak. I have a very steep driveway that the car was parked on front end high. It didn’t leak when I first started it up but when I moved it up into my level street it started running out of the...

i am just in the planning stage at this point. Paint and body is not my area of the expertise. I do have a little experience doing body work and painting a car 30 years ago. I plan to do all the work myself. So any way. About the car. 1967 Dodge Dart GT. It was my street race car...

I am trying to find information if the stamping was the same for 67 through 69 Dodge Dart and 67 through 69 Plymouth Valiant. I saw an ad on Craigslist for a Fender that was said to fit 69 Dodge Dart that originally came off of a valiant. I was not aware they interchange. I need fenders...

Right now I am just bench racing ideas for my 1967 Dodge Dart GT. Body is rough but solid. As in no rust but plenty of wavy panels. I have owned this car since college and is my 1st car I ever bought. Now this is the engine section so engine ideas are what I am discussing. Over the years I...

Drove by Car for sale on the side of the road the other day. Says it runs. Looks like either a 65 or 66 Dodge Dart. Opened the hood and the hood latch is missing but there is a 273 2bbl. Grill is destroyed. Interior is rough but all there.

I am almost done with a motor I built that for various reasons took way too long. Been about 8 years since started this project. I am close to installing it so I just figured I would do a little bench racing and see what I can expect. The motor In question is .060 over 383 built on a...

I have a 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 that has been a race car for almost all of its life. I enjoy bracket racing it and it runs pretty well with old school technology. Runs consistent 12.0 to 12.1 with a best et of 11.89 years ago. My local track seems to have more events set up for...

I have a 1969 Swinger race car that has a cheep but mostly ok looking paint job. The previous owner had Vinal lettering on the quarter panel and rear roof side panels. I have decided to remove the lettering as it was advertisement for his business and he is retired now. I found it fairly...

I know not A body related but I also own a B body. The B body message boards are not near as active so I figured I might ask this here too. If it is not allowed forgive me and feel free to remove the thread. I am just about ready to finish my engine and I am trying to decide which oil pan...

I am considering buying a fiberglass hood for a 1967 through 1969 Dodge Dart. I found one near me on Craigslist that looks a little rough in the picture. He doesn't have any other pictures and seems unwilling to go take more. It could be just the picture bit it looks like a crack near the...

I have a 340 block in my garage that I would like to get running on the cheap. I don't want to cut corners per say but would like to clean up and use existing parts that I have. My current concern is the crankshaft. It was in good shape and fresh .010 mains and rods when it was removed. It...

I am posing the question as to what a 1969 Swinger 340 automatic is worth because I have one which also happens to be Race car. Was just brainstorming and thinking of what to do with it. Currently I race it in local bracket races. It has lots of things missing and modified on the body. If I...

The sun is coming out and racing season is getting ready to start. I have always footed the bill myself for occasional weekend racing. This year I am going to ask for some sponsorship help. I work at a car Chrysler dealership and mentioned sponsorship to a mid to upper management person. He...

So my wife and I were driving through town and I saw a green duster for sale. Let me back the story up a bit. I live in a small town and a couple months ago there was a green 1972 Plymouth Duster for sale on a local Facebook classified page. It was fairly strait and ok paint. It had a...

Recently my vintage Bracket car started leaking fuel from the pusher electric pump near the tank. I did not build the car myself and am changing things as they wear out and break. The pump and fuel system near the tank are not a pretty site. I originally just planned to replace the pump...

I kind of already know the answer but just thought I might start a thread on it. My Holley 750 DP leaks fuel and my electric fuel pump leak fuel if I let them sit in the garage for a few weeks dry. I went out to the garage and check the fuel in the fuel cell. It was empty so I add a couple of...

Getting ready to head to the track for the first time in several years. Back in the day it seemed no one checked helmets and we just ran what we had laying around the garage. I am now a little older and wiser but my budget is about the same aka not much. Anyway I am in the market for a...

I searched and didn't find the answers. If I missed it and I am repeating then I apologize. Anyway. I was given a good working small block 727 out of a truck that is of the short shaft bolt on yoke variety. Can this be converted to a standard output shaft easily? Does it have a any good...

I was curious as to what kind of equipment people bring to the track for a day or weekend of racing. Obviously you load up your race car and safety gear. What kind of spare parts do you bring? How many and what special tools? How elaborate of repair equipment? Generators, air...

Random question. I am not in the market at the moment for a new distributor but I have an HEI dizzy under my work bench that I have no use for. I don't own any GM vehicles at all so I was going to either sell it or chuck it. I have seen several posts on here about people running them on...

I have a couple of other threads here but they were subject specific. This thread will touch on some of the issues but will hopefully be able to grow with the evolution of the motor and car. First off here are the specs on my car and motor. 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger. 340 automatic .030...

I know this is a long shot but does anyone have an old direct connection catalog from the early 80s? I am trying to identify the camshaft in my race car. It is a time machine as it was built in the early 70s. The motor was freshened up in the early 80s . I talked to the original owner and...

I recently purchased a 1969 Dodge Dart race car. It was a special car to me because it belonged to my friends dad and his partner since almost new. I used to work on it and race it back in the early 90s. Well now it is sitting in my garage and I would like to do a little more than just tow...

I am thinking of changing the heads on my bracket racer 1969 Dodge Dart. It has a set of ported X heads. The car runs mid to low 12 seconds at 108. I just purchased the car but I have been familiar with it for more than 20 years. I ran a best time in the car of 12.00 back in 1994 or 95...

My closest local track is Famosa Raceway. Does anyone know the test and tune schedules for tracks around California? I looked at Famosa Raceway website and they mention a street tune class but cars have to be Street legal.

I was remembering a motor I built in when I was in college that ran way better than it should have. I figured I would open up a discussion on the topic. It is fun to me to find out what other people did and their experiences. I was taking an automotive class in college and for my project I...
