Having just upgraded my master cylinder to dual circuit, got to thinking if finned drums would be a big improvement over the stock 9" smooth ones? The car is 1963 Dart, cannot consider discs nor even bigger drums (probably would not fit in my 13" rims) due to strict Spanish regulations...

Hi all, can anyone give a link or a part number of the correct ball joint dust boots for a 1963 Dart? Recently received a set that the repair guy told me are way too large. Would like to get it right the second time...

Had this problem for long but never paid too much attention as the blinkers work just fine, it's just the green indicators in the instrument cluster acting weird. Hope someone can suggest where to start. When I have no lights on, everything is normal, the indicators work nice and bright. When...

Hi all, as my 63 Dart seems to need a brake overhaul, decided to upgrade the master cylinder too. The subject probably been beaten to death already but I can't seem to find a definite answer which one to choose, so somebody please chime in. As my car is and will be registered as a "classic...

Hi A-bodies, I have a 1963 Dart 270, US made, residing in Spain. My front brakes seem to be a bit uneven so it failed to pass the registration inspection. In case I will need new brake shoes, does anyone know if the spanish-made Darts (Barreiro) used the same brake shoes? If so, it would...

My 1963 Dart's temp gauge been reading kinda low for some time already. Last week it suddenly went up to high-normal range and then dropped all the way down. Gauge and the regulator seems to be ok as the fuel gauge works fine and the temp needle goes up when wire is grounded. Checked the sender...

Hi all, I have always wondered why some tops when lowered seem to go below the body line while some (like mine) sit like 2 inches above. I wonder if it's a manual vs power top thing? Like that the manual one can be lowered further than the power top (maybe the power cylinders are limiting the...

Hi there, I think this is the original gas cap for my '63 Dart. Is there supposed to be a rubber/cork seal too or is the brass flange all there should be?

Hi all, finally got to replace stock fan with a clutch from MB 280SE...found and ordered the clutch but can't seem to locate the fan blade. Anyone know the part number? Further, as the bolts have to be changed to shorter ones, what grade should be used? Might be a problem to find those in Spain...

Hi all, just noticed my 1963 Dart's middle top bow is cracked in the middle. Can someone tell which years interchange with '63? Probably 64-66?

Hi all, been not too active lately, busy with other stuff (no, not life). We made a two week tour in Spain with my blues duo and being reckless or just young at heart we decided to drive there and make the tour with my 63 Dart. 4000 miles without a single problem with the car. Gotta love 'em...

I believe this has been asked before but could not find a definite answer. So, once more; were the stock 1963-66 rims painted black or the body color?

Hi all, I may have a good deal on a rechromed instrument bezel. As I have never seen an untouched mint one, I am not 100% sure how these were detailed from the factory. I'd guess 99% was painted argent or aluminum and only the outer edges of the "frame" and gauge surroundings were left as...

Looking for a NOS or excellent used, have already several "driver" ones. Would need a top condition radio face plate and pushbutton shifter bezel too.

Probably next to impossible but trying is cheap.... Would need front and back bench seats or just covers for a 1963 Dart 270 Convertible. I think could use ones from a 2 door sedan/coupe too (wider back seat, could use the cover, that is.) MUST be original vinyl covers, preferably red but can...

WTB 1 long spring for a 1963 bench seat slide.

Hi all, my 1963 Dart 270 is missing the chrome trim rings found in 270 & GT models. Just measured the diameter would be pretty much 5". Can anyone think of an affordable replacement? Was searching the ebay for 5" chrome rings and found several that could fit but really not quite sure...

Better late than never...original 225 Slant, totally rebuilt last winter. Once more, super thanks to slantsixdan & DesertRat!

Just noticed that in my -64 Valiant there is another tag on driver's side inner fender. Reads something like "Chrysler Corporation, Detroit, Michigan. Made in the USA". It's aluminum/red colored and located right next to the main tag containing all the options, shipping date and such info. In my...

Hi all, I have an annoying problem with my 63 Dart's turn indicator pilot lights. The pilot lights flash simultaneously and kind of dim. The signal lights work normally, both front and rear, left and right. This occurs only when the headlights or parking lights are on, lights off everything's...

Hi all! The guy rebuilding my engine said the rocker arms have excessive side play, and he'd like to machine new spacers. Is there a recommended clearance between rocker arm and the spacer?

Hi all, had the engine lifted out yesterday (1963 slant 225). There is a ridge in upper cylinder walls, the guy who will do the rebuild said it will probably need to be bored .030 over (is now std), the machine shop will tell later if this is right. I just would like to know beforehand, which...

Hi all, just got the spare head I'm going to have rebuilt. Just out of curiosity, what do these casting numbers mean? 2206036-4 (maybe my mistake, ought to be 2206035?) 9-3 (between two "screw heads") AAQO Cheers, Tina

Hi everyone, been quiet for a while, just have been enjoying the summer and my Dart :) Although otherwise just fine, my engine (225) is burning oil, obviously past valve guides as the compression pressures are good and even. So, I think I'll have the head pulled later in the fall. Besides the...

Hi all, noticed my left rear floor was wet with auto trans fluid. The top cylinder seems to be wet too. I read somewhere that these CANNOT be repaired, and somewhere else they CAN be repaired pretty easily. Can anyone put this straight?

Hi, not an A-body want-ad but Mopar anyhow... Looking for a vg/exc used or NOS distributor Plym/Dodge flathead. I think the years applicable are from 37 till 54. Anybody have one or even a tip where to buy?

The case in a nutshell; speedometer started making noises and the odometer got stuck in between 6999 and 7000, took the cable out, inspected (ok) and lubed. Stayed quiet for a day, then the noise started again, odometer not working anymore. Then the needle got wild and broke off. There is a...

Hi all, It's me again with my truckload of questions. Just trying to make up a conversation :) The small plastic "hub" on the speedometer needle is broken off. Outer pieces are in my glovebox but the part between the speedo needle and the cluster lens is there trapped under the lens. Can the...

Hi FABO gang, I'm in process of replacing my nice but reupholstered door and rear side panels. Found a nice used set on ebay, only problem is that they are blue and my car is all red inside and out. So I'll have to dye/paint them red. My door armrests are apparently original. Can anyone tell...

My '63 Dart 225+auto has timing set by the shop manual, initial 0*@TDC. Idles, runs and accelerates fine. Been though reading a lot about the timing stuff and all the time most say a slant will be more efficient and economical with more initial advance. Just made me wonder, why did Chrysler...
