So first let me say I'm feeling a bit of shame, but I need to ask a question about a. . . . Toyota.:(. . . Lol Anyway. I posted this on some toyota forums and those guys suck. They dont respond. I figured the question is general enough that I would ask you guys because you're awesome and always...

Hello, So when I purchased my 73 dart, it came with a ton of junk in the trunk. A lot of older tools which was nice, bumper jack, some parts purchased but not installed toys, dirty clothes, and these in the photo. I've asked around and no one seems to know they are, and googling "tool with two...

Hey guys, So I've got some noise in one of the rear bearings on my 73 Dart Custom with a 7.25 differential. I just got the parts in and was perusing the manual. I was under the impression that when you change pressed bearings and need to remove the axle shaft you typically do so by getting into...

I'll try to keep this brief. At speeds above 25-30 I get a humming/whirring noise from my rear end. Its speed dependent on both volume and pitch. I'm trying to figure out if it is a wheel bearing or a differential problem. Thanks as always, Futzy

Every morning my 73 Dart Custom takes a bit of cranking to turn over. Nothing crazy, but a solid 5 seconds to get going. Doesn't matter if it is hot or cold, just if it's been parked for more than a few hours. However if it's a restart, she starts right up. I took a look at the service manual...

So I've got oil all down the side of my block, and I'm hoping it's just what the desert sun has done to my valve cover gasket. I'm gabbing a new one this weekend and I figure while I have the cover off I might as well attempt a valve lashing. I've read a bunch of articles, but I'm learning as I...

Doing a simple thermostat replacement, I managed to snap the head off one of the bolts on my 73 day 225 slant. Where do I get a new one??

So for quite some time I had a jumpy, loud, rattling, speedo. Having finally looked into it o was convinced/dreading that I totally blew the thing up, but low and behold I gave the cable a lube job anyways and it solved almost all my problems. I say almost, because now my speedo is a constant 12...

Need to replace the 7.25 in my 73 Dart Custom. Anyone looking to get rid of one, I'm in CA

I'm trying to find a wheel to wheel rear end for my 73 Dart Custom at a "pick your part" and I'm wondering if there are other years/models I can search for that are compatible. Mine is a 225 slant with a 904, so I dont necessarily need to up to a beefier diff or anything, but I've got some rear...

So after almost 2 years, I'm finally getting to the missing reverse lamp socket on my 1973 Dart Custom. I have a generic 1157 one wire socket, and I know it's supposed to ground on the lamp housing, but while the lip is large enough to keep it from just pushing through, the housing is too small...

Well I think I'm about to show exactly what an auto novice I am, but I've looked and looked, and decided to "suck it up" and take my vacuum advance question to the group. Yes, that was a HORRIBLE pun. I have a 73 dart custom with 225 slant and all those glorious early emmisions control...

First off, I'm sorry. I'm sure if I did a little more research I could find the answer, but I have to go to work and I'm super impatient. With that aside, I have been driving my 1973 dart custom for almost 2 years now. My last older vehicle had a bad fuel gauge the never quite made it to full...

Anyone know the dimensions for rubber window c channel on a 1973 Dart custom. I'm willing to drop the $$ on the tabbed door seals, and window sweeps, but I'm hoping to find something generic/cheap for the c channel.

I'm finishing up some under dash wiring tonight. I've mocked everything up with butt connectors to make sure it's all correct, but I have an electronics background and I hate crimp connectors in general, so I'm going to solder it all up tonight. So here is my question. Any advice for how to...

Alright, so I'm not sure if I'm about to kick up a storm here, but I was wondering the advantages/disadvantages of taping a harness vs split loom. I've done a lot of electrical work in my life, but never really automotive electrical. Now that I'm getting under the dash, I'm finding that the...

So I want to put the spit shine on my steering wheel. I've been staring at 73 dodge color codes for an hour now, and I'm having trouble doing two things. 1 pinning down which green is my green 2. Figuring out what paint to use Everyone says go with duplicolor plastic and vinyl, but I cant...

I need to throw a "wanted" thread up on the board, but I don't know what this piece is called. It's the cap piece at the end. on the end of a side moulding.

Hi all, Still working on my 73 dart custom. One of the things that has been nagging me is the rear driver side bumper pad. It wasn't attached when I bought the car, but hey, it was included with all the random stuff left in the trunk, so there is that. Anyway, you can see that the mating...

What temp thermostat should o get for a 226 slant in my 73 dart custom? I didn't see it in the manual. . . I also may not have spen THAT long looking. . . . :usflag:

So I need to replace the horn buttons in my 1973 Dodge Dart custom, And I can't find seem to find a straight replacement. Can I just throw any old momentary switch that will fit in there or is there something special I need?

Really simple . I'm rewiring some of the stuff under the dash of my 1973 dart custom, and I was wondering if I'm OK switching out some of the 20 gauge wire that the manual calls for with 18 gauge?

Let me start by saying I'm the perfect combination of dangerous, I know enough to fix things when they need it, but I really only know cars to the extent of the things I've had to fix. I'm just about ready to make the plunge and order a ClassicAutoAir perfect fit system to my 73 Dart Custom. I...

So I finally got to some of the blown dash wiring in my dart last night. (Its amazing what starts working when you strip out a VERY melted wire and replace the fuse. Right??? ) Anywways, this is the connector to the map light. The insulation is melted right to the connector so I can't just...

Anyone have the center plastic from a 3 spoke steering wheel?

Hey guys, So I'm fixing up my 1973 4 door dart custom for sale. She's been great to me, but I'm itching for another pickup. Anyway, I've finally gotten around to trying to open the door my 6 year old nephew broke 2 years ago. The over eager child was wrenching on the inside handle trying to...

So my nephew was riding in my 73 dart 4 door the other day. He didn't know own how to unlock/open the door, so he tried force. The door was locked and he wrenched the handle. Something got disconnected and now the door is locked and not connected to the lock knob. As a result I cannot open it...

I think the picture is pretty self explanitory.

Ok so total FNG question here. Ivery never checked engine timing before. I know I need to disconnect vacuum advance from the distributor, and I need to clamp the line. do I also need to plug the the hole?

I'm getting my 73 dart up to "my wife being ok taking our son in the car" level, but I know nothing about brakes. Well not nothing, because I know my front brakes aren't working. Originally I was just planning replacing the rotors, calipers, and pads, but now I'm wondering about upgrading. So...
