Formerly from Howell, moved to Phoenix in June '07, left in Nov. (hated it!) and moved to Manistee, within walking distance to Lake Michigan. Unfortunately, my '69 Dart is still in Howell, but she'll be coming up this spring. btw, Dilley 340, I used to live right around the corner from you on...

I'd be in for a set of '69 Taillight bezels. Tony

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'll be sure to post some pics as things progress. Tony

Yep, it's been about a year since I last posted here. About a year & a half ago, I tore into the 273 in my newly acquired 1969 Dart Swinger. The engine is original to the car, and I wanted to improve the performance, so I swapped the cam and had a set of 302 heads worked up to put on the motor...

My name is Tony, and I'm relatively new to the board. I'm 44, and married to a great woman who likes our cars as much as I do. In fact, she's named them both.I joined up when I bought my '69 Dart, back in November of last year. I also have a '74 Challenger, Plum Crazy, 416 sb/ 727. My first...

Nah,I'm keeping the Dart as stock-original looking as possible. Going for a resto-clone Swinger 340 look.

Sorry, I've been dragging around the set I have for 20 years, finally have a car to use them on. Paid $125.00 for them back then!

Hi all, I've got a question regarding exhaust manifolds on my Dart. Would the larger 340 hi-po manifolds kill the bottom end with my 273? I'll be running an Edelbrock performer intake (small runner), 302 heads w 1.88/1.60 valves, intake port matched, mildly ported. Cam is a Comp Cams XE256H...

The only one's I'm aware of are the meets at the State Fairgrounds and the one's sponsored by the WPC club. There are probably many local ones around the state, maybe check Cruis'news. Here are a couple links. http://www.chryslerclub.org/events.htm http://www.cruisnews.com/home.html

Personally, I feel funny posting about nothing in particular, although I don't mind reading other people's posts. I appreciate the info that I've gotten here. BTW, I fired up my Chally for the first time this year, man it sounded GREAT! I can't wait to put the Dart engine back together and get...

Just a suggestion- use attic trusses for part, if not all, of the roof, and you'll gain a ton of storage space, without having to put stuff on the bottom chord of the standard truss, which isn't really designed to carry a load. If you go with a high enough roof pitch, you could even put an...

Does anybody have a pic of a '67-'69 Dart with slotted aluminum wheels? I'm thinking of going this route with my Dart. I'm trying to keep the mods "period correct", and I think the slots would look pretty cool. Thanks.

While we're at it, let's say a prayer for her husband, who has to LIVE through this whole ordeal, including the US Government getting involved in what SHOULD be a family affair. :roll:

Thanks for the replies, I'll go ahead and degree it. One thing I'm not quite clear on is deliberately advancing or retarding the cam. I know it can affect the powerband of the engine. If I want more bottom end and less top end, would I advance or retard? Also, I understand it can have an affect...

:thumrigh: That is a sweet car!

Maybe I should buy a couple dozen and sell them on ebay for $50.ea!

anybody?

As I have posted here before, I'm building up the 273 in my Dart. I'm going with a Comp Cams XE 256H. My question is: is it worth the trouble to degree the cam on a street motor? I'm using a true roller timing chain, which should be more accurate than the stock setup w/nylon gears. Any thoughts...

Sure, they're AIMCO #5384, Murray's sku# is 702-4668. Got them apart! :thumleft: Now, just need to clean up the hubs, and replace the left hand studs!

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

After going through my shop manual again, it seems that the lug studs press through the rotor disc, and into the hub. So they should be able to press the old ones off and the new rotors on. I bought mine at the local "Murray's Auto Parts" for $26.00ea. They're AIMCO brand, 1 year warranty. At...

I bought a used, factory sbp disc brake setup for my Dart, and was tearing the parts apart from the spindles. I ordered a set of replacement rotors, and just picked them up, but they're just the rotor, without the hub assembly. So, do I have to press the old hub assy. off the original rotors and...

68- 74 318 heads, casting # 2843675 is 60cc, according to the "How To Rebuild Small Block Mopar Engines" book by Taylor/Hofer.

I concur with the group- the second one is better. :thumleft:

If anybody here is in need of rooms for the Nats, the ExtendedStay Columbus East still has some available. I just booked three for Thursday- Sunday. They're one queen bed rooms, but they have deluxe rooms which have a queen bed and a sleeper sofa. Also, all rooms have a kitchenette, which would...

I hear you. I only got to drive my Dart once when it was delivered, that's when I noticed that the radiator was leaking. So, I parked it, pulled the rad, and that's when I decided "well, radiator's out, might as well swap the cam. And sinceI wanted to put a four barrel intake and carb on it, I...

Check out Stockton Wheel, their site shows rallye wheels available with a 5 on 4 pattern, as well as a Torq-Thrust 15" in 5 on 4. http://www.stocktonwheel.com/

Refund? I've heard of these, but never actually seen one. :lol: Unfortunately, the only time I see a refund is when business is worse than the year before, which looks like might be the case this year.
