    Rarity of 100% OEM Restored A Bodies - Rant/Whine

    Has anyone noticed how rare it is to see an A-Body for sale (on any internet site) that is 100% OEM factory correct? I'm not talking about bolt head markings and paint daubs but significant, visible features and options. I see lots of nice cars but hardly any are correct for the year and...

    Initial startup cooling system troubles

    Made the first start of my newly rebuilt 340. The engine fired right up and I was starting to go through the break-in procedure when I had to stop. I've got two problems, maybe related. 1. The temperature gauge rose steadily to hot (I'm looking at the stock dashboard gauge.) 2. The...

    This is an unused, never installed, Grant 846 Classic Nostalgia steering wheel. Similar to factory Tuff wheel. I bought it new and never used it in the car. My Swinger had a factory rim blow wheel which I decided to use instead. Included are the wheel, horn cap and generic Grant mounting...

    Alternator toasted - Advice needed please

    The car is a 1971 Swinger with a 340 now instead of the original 225. I recently finished a complete rebuild of the entire car, pretty much everything except exterior paint. The original wiring harnesses were butchered by the PO so I replaced everything I could buy with new M&H harnesses...

    Can anyone help with the installation and adjustment of the cable from the dash AC temperature control lever to the blend door lever on the AC/heater box? It's a 1971 Swinger with factory AC. The factory service manual is not making any sense to me - put the water control valve in the full...

    Master cylinder help needed

    This is a picture of what I think is a Mopar MC, part no. 3461187. It's for a '71 Dart w/manual disc brakes. I have a rebuild kit for it and the FSM instructions, step #2 states, "Remove front piston retainer screw from inside reservoir . ." I see where the screw should be (red circle in pic)...

    Poor quality parts ruining the hobby for me

    I've experienced so many disappointments with poor quality replacement parts for my '71 Swinger that it is ruining the hobby for me. It was 1992 when I completed my last top-to-bottom restoration, at that point on a 340 'Cuda. Back then more factory parts were available (duh!) but most...

    Ignition switch connector wiring - advice please

    Pictured is the ignition switch harness in my '71 Swinger. When I bought the car the orange and two red wires were cut and not inserted in the connector, most likely due to installation of a replacement ignition switch. I see from the FSM that the orange goes into the port next to the large red...

    Fuel tank filler tube installation trouble

    My '71 Swinger's old fuel tank was rusted and leaking so I bought a new tank, which is made by Spectra. I also got a new tank grommet from Classic Industries. The tank fit the car fine, even clearing the dual exhaust nicely, but when I attempted to install the filler tube it was a no-go. After...

    I sold this car 25+ years ago and tried a couple of times in the late '90's to contact the owner, with no success. VIN BH29P8B403085. A most unusual combination of options: 340 w/AT, AC, custom interior, stripes and red plastic front wheel well liners. Last know address was MI. It's real...

    1971 Dart Swinger 340

    Greetings from CA. What do you think of the Swinger? It's been 17 years since I last owned a vintage Mopar and I'm really happy to be back in the fold. I thought about getting back into old car the hobby for a long time, and since I am nearing retirement I decided it's now or never. My...
