"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"! :BangHead: Well, when I bought the old Dart two years ago I started replacing things hoping to not wind up broke down anytime soon! It had set for 14 years and I figured....) One of those parts was the electronic ignition box. So on the advice of my brother I...

My 73' Dart was running perfectly yesterday afternoon when I parked it. Came back a couple hours later and it would turn over but nothing? I've got fuel but no fire at the coil. Change the coil since it is the original one it came with two years ago........nothing? Thought maybe the cap or the...

Thanks so much! Mike

Hello All! Adding to my Dodge Dart "To Do List"! The rubber grommets on both engine mounts have almost dry rotted away. Can I buy the rubber by itself or will I need to buy new mounts? Where would be the best place to purchase these? I have found most of my parts from Summit Racing, the new fuel...

Hello All! Getting ready to replace the water pump on my 1973 /6 Dart Custom! The new pump (eight blade impeller) came with two gaskets and the plate so I guess I am good to go?! Anything special I need to know before I get started? I am going to install new heater hoses while I am spilling...

Man, I love that car! Could be I'm tad prejudice though!! Mike

Best place to buy my 1973 Dodge Dart a new fuel tank?!

Will do! Thank you! At least she waited till the weekend! LOL I'll get after this first thing Sat morning!

Thanks! Yes, the battery was showing charge with the light on (Alternator needle to +).

Went to leave the house (engine warm) got to the end of the driveway and the engine stopped like I had turned the key off? Headlights were on, defroster fan on high and wipers on. Turned everything off and turned her over and took right off. Drove around the driveway all is well. Drove 10 miles...

Thanks so much! I enjoy driving this car more than any other automobile I have ever owned! Mike

I know all the info is here for me to R & R the gasket, my question is can I drive her until the weekend without damaging the engine? Thanks! Mike

slantsixdan you are the man!! Was having the two or three second cold start oil light and I ordered the LF - 3487 Fleetguard oil filter for todays oil change and now I get an oil light flash and out she goes!! Thank you so much!! Mike

Can not get the pic to attach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a three speed switch. I will get a pic of it for you in the morning! Thanks for your help! Mike

Hello All! Well, finally got around to getting the wiper linkage hooked up and the Old Dart is now an "all weather vehicle"! Only thing is when I turn the wiper switch to the off position the wipers stop wherever they were at the time the switch was turned to "off"? Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

Just a little preventative maintenance for my Old Dart! Now the question is who sells the best water pump for a 73' Dart /six (225)? Thanks in advance! Mike B

Gotta give credit where credit is due! My brother is "schooling" me on this fine old Dodge! He has been in the Auto-Tech business since 1979 and is a Master Technician at a local dealership and one of the best in the business. He loves any old car/truck especially the ones from the early 70s...

Removed old thermostat (195)! Installed a 180 and all is good! I think I am going to put a water pump on her this week anyway as it had some "wiggle" when I pulled around on the fan/pulley and it appears to be the original pump. Thanks! Mike B

Okay, thanks! I will R&R it tomorrow and take her for a spin and see what happens. Thanks again! Mike B

Well, I have put 3350 miles on this little Dart since purchase in November without an ounce of trouble so I guess it is just time for a little head scratching and troubleshooting! The past couple of days I have noticed the temp gauge leaning toward the 1/2 way mark running down the road at 55...

Funny you should ask! Was at a car show Saturday and a gentleman who is quite the MOPAR Man recommended a fellow who will pull the molding off where the vinyl meets the quarter panel and fill the rust hole up with a heavy sealant on both sides. The vinyl top on mine is in really good shape with...

Nothing, no static or anything. The switch makes a solid "click" sound when turning the knob on and off. I need to get under the dash and give it a look see and if I'm lucky it'll just be a loose wire. What are the "electrolytic caps" you spoke about? Thanks! Mike

The radio in my 73 Dart has not worked since purchasing the car back in November. No big deal really but I'm going to take her to the first car show of the season and just thought it would be cool if I could find an easy fix by next weekend. I have not looked at it, I really just like to hear my...

Well the white vinegar soaking X2 did the trick! Amazingly this same light socket that was "ate up" with rust is now as clean and rust free as the one on the other side! Thank you so much! You Da Man! :thumbsup:

One of my favorite things when I start my Dart on a cold dark morning is to turn the park lights on and walk around her checking lights, what a cool sight! I have a right front amber 1157 park light out, turn signal works. I buy new bulbs and find the old bulb rusted into the socket, will not...

Wow! That is a great tip! My wife wants to go up to Rome, NY and visit with some good friends we met years ago when we were stationed at Griffiss AFB! I told her we'd go as long as I can take the Dart! She said I was :realcrazy:

Have not been on here for a bit, replaced the coil and the fuel pump, what a difference in that ole /6 engine! Since the purchase of this cool old Dart in November I have put 1850 miles on her! Valve adjustment next on the agenda! My favorite car of all time! Mike
