    Opinion on Electronic ignition for 68 340

    I'm looking at using an Electronic Ignition system for my 68 dart with numbers matching original box stock 340. I'm not looking to race the car just drive it from time to time as I clean it up from about 30 years on jack stands. I will send the original off to be restored eventually. I was...

    Layson or Classic Industries?

    I have to replace the bottom of the drivers bucket on my 68 GTS and wondered if these two companies sell the same product. The picture looks the same in both catalogs but the price is quite different. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Hard (power) brake pedal

    So got the steering box rebuilt and new exhaust. Boiled, soda blasted, and rebuilt the AVS and now I'm on the brakes. I replaced everything on the brake system except the power booster and am using synthetic brake fluid. It seems the power booster isn't boosting. The pedal is hard to the...

    Carter AVS questions

    I have a 68 Dart GTS 340. I'm rebuilding the carburetor and my Carter AVS 4425S isn't exactly like those I see on the Internet. All the ones I see on the Internet have two idle adjustment screws but mine only has one as you can see in the images. The holes where it appears there should be two...

    I had my steering box rebuilt and finally got to putting it back into my 68 Dart GTS. Problem is I can't get the column to go completely down the spline shaft of the steering box. What am I doing wrong?

    68 Dart GTS exhaust tip hangers

    I bought the Accurate Exhaust system for my Dart and found the exhaust tip hanger is different on the passenger side from the one on the drivers side. It causes the tip to tilt to one side. I'm assuming the hanger I took off is the original but if anybody know for sure I'd like to know...

    [WANTED] 68 GTS drivers side lower seat cover needed

    I have a 68 Dart GTS that needs a drivers side lower seat cover. The upper cover is in perfect condition and I'd hate to spend what it cost to get both upper and lower since I only need the lower. Mine seat covers are black and I really don't want to change colors since the car is an original...

    Original 340 intake bolts

    I have an intake bolt that the captive washer on one has broken so I'm looking for just one good original intake bolt to replace it. Anybody know where I can get just one? If not I suppose I will have to replace them all. Everything else is original and I'd like to keep it that way.

    power brake booster check valve

    I'm testing my check valve because of a high hard brake pedal on my 1968 Dodge Dart GTS 340. I understand that if I blow through the check valve from the booster side that if air goes through to the hose side that the check valve is bad. That's what's happening with mine and I'll assume that's...

    What's wrong with this linkage

    I rebuilt this AVS for my GTS 340. The linkage is as it was on the car but the secondaries will not open at full throttle (on the bench). When I rebuilt it I didn't take the linage apart other than to open it up. This car sat for 25 years and I can't remember if this was a problem when I put...

    Avs 4425s vs 4615sa

    My GTS 340 came with the 4425S and I'm having problems getting to run right. Not sure what the problem is. After I rebuilt it the car will start but if I punch the throttle it bogs and would die if I don't let up and feather the throttle up. I plan on rebuilding it again. In the mean time...

    AVS rebuild issues

    I rebuilt the AVS on my automatic 340 GTS and now it bogs when hitting the throttle. If I slowly press the throttle it will accelerate. Someone told me the new accelerator pump has neoprene that doesn't seal as good as the old leather with modern gas. I still have the old one I took out...

    68 Dart GTS brake problems

    After sitting on jack stands for 25 years I replaced the entire drum power brake system front to back with the exception of the PB Booster and wheel drums. Everything is all stock. I used DOT 5 fluid and had a problem sealing it up. I wound up using copper gaskets on some most of the fittings...
