I have a 69 Dart 2-dr hardtop. Years ago I completely disassembled the doors in preparation for painting (big mistake). In re-assembling the doors, I could not get the windows to line up, to the point I would not trust it not to leak in the rain. By the time I got around to installing the...

Ever since I had my Dart painted, my hood won't stay up. Coincidence? What do I need to do to correct this? It's never been a problem before. It would seem that if the hinges are losing their "hingeyness" this would be a gradual thing. Not so here. One day it worked. Then it doesn't.

I intend to add power brakes to my 69 Dart if I can find a factory setup. If not, I'm going to install Hydroboost system. Anyone have any experience with any of these type units?

Rock Auto lists 9" for all V8s, even 383

I have a stock 69 Dart 273. Every source lists the correct size rear drums as 9", except mine are 10", which I can't locate at any of the supply houses. Were these larger brakes an option (car does have front discs)? Any help locating the larger drums would be appreciated.

I added fender mounted turn signals to my 69 Dart. It seems I remember seeing harnesses made to fit with your standard harness for this purpose, but can't find them now.

I intend to install bolt-in subframe connectors on my 69 Dart but I am unclear where to get them as it seems there are plenty offer for 70 and up years but not so much for 69. Does the 69 have a 108" WB? I was looking at Mopar Performance or Hotchkiss. Many have commented "You don't need them"...

There is a company that specializes in grill restoration that shows up at the Spring Fling in Van Nuys. I'm pretty sure they're located in LA county. Can anyone recall their name?

Are 68 and 69 grills interchangeable? I have found repro 68 grills, but not 69. Is that correct, or did I just miss it?

Jim Lusk, A Barracuda dash frame will fit in a Dart A Barracuda dash frame will fit in a Dart? Any specific years?

I have a 69 Dart- nothing special- and would like to do something really different/crazy with with the dash. I don't care to retain any of the stock stuff-every single piece is on the "chopping block". The problem is I'm not very creative, and need some ideas. I would appreciate seeing anything...

My 69 Dart came with 273 and small rear diff. Everything is small bolt pattern. What are my options to fit 15s on the car?

I have a 70 Duster with a stock flat hood. It appears the hood has seen the weight of a lot of beer drinkers over the years, and has several dips. I am getting ready to have the car painted, and know if I keep this hood it's going to end up with a lot of filler on it. I don't mind that, but...

I have a 70 Duster that needs a new speedo cable. Most cables seem to have a 5/8" connector at the transmission, but I have three small block trannys in my garage and all three measure 7/8". Is that cable somewhere around 65" in length?

How does one restore a grill?

I have a 70 Duster with a standard instrument cluster. It is out of the car right now and I would like to test the gauges before I reinstall it. The speedo I guess I can spin it with a drill, and the ammeter gauge I intend to bypass. How does one check the gas and temperature gauges?

At the Spring Fling in Van Nuys, CA there used to be a vendor that specialized in restoring grills. I think they are in the LA area. Does anyone recall the name of the company?

I have a 69 Dart that space constraints are going to force me to keep outside. As it has a pretty nice paint job on it I would like to protect it pretty well. What do you guys recommend? I have used the throw-away-after-2-years $30 car covers, but they are poor at keeping dirt off. We don't get...

I have a 70 Duster column shift automatic. At some point in it's life the PRNDL lense got paint overspray on it. It appears the shroud covering the lense is an integral part of the collar. So, how do these lenses come out? Does anyone make replacement PRNDL's? Or can the overspray be removed?

My 70 Duster has the original steering wheel, complete with the usual cracks around the outside rim. I was thinking of filling the cracks with body filler, sanding, sealing with ?, and spraying it with a rubber/vinyl/plastic friendly paint. I haven't done this before and would appreciate any...

In my stash of parts are two instrument clusters. one is the standard non-rallye wood grain piece. The other is one i had never seen before- it is a black ribbed unit (ribs run vertically). I was told by my mopar guru friend the black ribbed unit is correct for a 1970. Can any of you people shed...

I am thinking about buying a car that has been sitting in a garage for 10 years. The owner drained all the fluids when he put it inside. So, I am trying to guess what I am going to have to do make this car roadworthy. New tires, battery, gas and rebuild the carb for starters. Do I need to worry...

I have a stack of mopar radios that I need to test. These units are all AM units from 68-69 Mopars. So what I would do is connect the radio to my replacement speaker, hook up an original factory antenna, and use my power supply to provide 12vdc to the power wire. Does this seem ok? Does the...

What I'm calling a motor starter is a separate box with solenoids in it which are triggered by low current 110v circuit so you don't have 26 amps going thru your on/off switch. What you are saying is there is something inside the housing of this 5hp motor to spin it up to running speed, like a...

My saw has a 5hp, 26 amp 220 single-phase motor with a separate motor starter. The on/off switch and motor starter are original (50 years old). The motor starts immediately when the on button is pushed, but you need to hold the stop button down about 5 seconds or so to shut it down. I have...

So let's say you are going to build a small block and the most important goal is reliability. Say your daughter will be driving it. I have a 70 Duster and 69 Dart and both are pretty much blank slates. Both are 318s/ Here are a few of my thoughts. mini-starter Toyota alternator MSD ignition and...

My Duster hood looks like a lot of guys have sat on it with beer in hand over the years. I am trying to figure out my options. I am having difficulty finding a replacement aftermarket unit. I don't want a lift-off fiberglass unit. So, I can straighten the hood using a lot of bondo, but I...

The 70 Duster I bought (in pieces) came with a Mopar wiring harness, but is in bad shape and I'm not even sure it is for a Duster. I don't mind springing for a new harness, and am wondering if any of you folks have a source you might recommend. Thanks.

Does anyone make them?
