    sbp front disc swap for 73 dart w/ 10" drums

    I'm looking to do a front disc conversion on my 73 Dart with 10" front drums. I want to maintain the sbp because I only want to swap the brakes and not the rear axle, wheels etc. I really like the 14' tire, white wall and wheel cover look and can't be bothered with the expense and hassle of...

    Slant 6 road test in Dodge Dart 60-76 Book

    Got me a copy of Dodge Dart 60-76 last week and I really enjoyed it, as I do road test books from most any American make. What made this all the more enjoyable is the fact that there were several road test reports of /6 powered cars, rather that just the more muscular models. It was interesting...

    Front sway bar fit

    I recently asked about a front sway bar for a 73 swinger not originally equipped with one and was PM'd my a member here with a very reasonable offer for a Dorman sway bar kit. Only problem is, the web site lists this part for application only up to 1972 and they don't list a front kit for 73 or...

    front sway bar for /6 swinger

    Does anyone make a front sway bar for A bodies that didn't originally have them? Ones I've seen were just upgrades for cars already equipped with sway bars. Just rebuilt my front suspension and don't want to replace lower control arms. Thanks Al

    Engine ID year

    The /6 engine in my 73 Swinger is not original to the car as the vin doesn't match. The guy I bought it from said it was a 71 engine. It doesn't really matter in the long run, but I'd like to know. I googled it and read a few articles and posts on dating the motor but they didn't really help...

    Who likes strippers : ) ???

    So, a few years ago I got on this retro, keep it simple, old school kick in response to the whole "electronics to do everything but wipe your ***" mentality of modern society. When my PC broke 3 years ago, I cancelled my internet service and got a library card for internet use. Let's face it...

    3,400 mile road trip in 73 swinger

    So, I just got back for a loooong *** road trip in my /6 Swinger. I live in Rhode Island but I have friends in Alabama, both parents wintering in Florida and other friends in South Carolina, so I did what any car nut with time on his hands would do. Pack some clothes, tools and a few spare...

    170, 198, 225 how many of each?

    Ok, so when people find out I've got a /6 in my car, they almost always say "ah, the ol 225" followed by "ya couldn't kill those things". I don't think the general public was aware of the 170 and198 slants. And yes, my car does have a 225. I'm not looking for exact figures, but, in general...

    My /6 is a gas pig when it's cold outside. Why?

    Hi All. So I've got this issue with my 73 Dart. It's running great and when temps are above 40 deg it returns very reasonable gas mileage, even with multiple cold starts between fill ups. I've only had one reading below 20mpg since April, (19.8mpg) and my average has been 22 for combined...

    Hi, my name is AL and I'm a Mopar-aholic

    Hi folks. Just joined and figured I'd say hi. I just got a Slant 6 73 Dart ready to be my year round driver, the first time an a body has been my main ride since 1985. I've got a company van for work so the Dart won't be "daily" driven but it'll need to take my anywhere I need to go after...
