I have a 1974 Swinger with a 360 bored .030" and a Edlebrock intake. I have a Holley 750DP that I've rebuilt twice now. The first time, I screwed around with the setup and installed a power valve on the secondaries and opened the secondary idle a little. It ran way too rich and idled poorly. I...

We drove the car to the last car show of the year and when we got there it was idling ~about 3000 RPM. It's been fine all summer and I haven't touched it. I have to back off the throttle cable adjustment almost a half inch to settle it down to normal. How on earth did I lose almost a half inch...

1974 Dodge Dart Swinger. Newly rebuilt 360 bored .030" turning a bone stock 904 and 7 1/4 stock rear end. So, you can read about my rebuild of the 360 in the forums. It went well, we've been driving it a lot and I really like the power it's putting out, but I think it's leaving something on the...

My son said this happened to him the other day. I thought maybe the fluid level was low. He said it seemed like it slipped when shifting from 2nd to 3rd when he was hitting it hard. It's a 1974 Dart Swinger with a newly rebuild 360 and a 904 bone stock transmission. Small rear end 7.25" I...

I have a problem on the passenger side bench seat. The seat back keeps popping off the hinge pin. The drivers side has a hole for a cotter pin and it keeps it in place. The passenger side does not have a cotter pin. I tried drilling a hole and broke 2 bits off in the process. It seems like it's...

I'm looking for someone I can trust with my 1974 Dart. The rear passenger brake is leaking and for the life of me, I can't get the drum off to fix it. I've spent many hours spraying it with releaseall and whacking it with a hammer. It's not budging. I don't want to buy another tool to pull it...

1974 Dodge Dart Swinger with a fresh 360 LA, Holley 750DP, Edlebrock intake, stock ignition. So on Saturday, I went for a boot on the back roads and had a great time doing burnouts at every intersection. The car was responsive and doing exactly what I wanted it to. I had a blast. On Sunday my...

Located in Calgary Alberta. I have a number of items left over from my build. Either because I forgot I had already ordered something or didn't RTFM. Anyway here's a list; $175 CARTER AFB 650CFM - Worked well on the car, but my cousin gave me a Holley 750DP that I like better. $100...

Does anyone know if any car shows or cruises are going to happen in Alberta this year? Everything was cancelled last year, I'm hoping someone will bite the bullet and organize something this year. On a side note, anyone from Northern Mopars still around? I've checked their site and the last...

Hi there, We've been rebuilding our 360 in our 1974 Dart all winter. This weekend was time for reinstall. The engine is seated in the mounts properly and 904 transmission is all lined up straight and the yoke is attached. I have Hooker Competition Headers, beat up, but they were installed...

There was a post a while ago about these new distributors from Progressive Ignition. Accessories (progressionignition.com) Has anyone here installed one of these on their small block? Any opinions about quality, craftmanship, etc? Just wondering as I rebuild my engine and looking at the old...

Hey all, I'm on the way to rebuilding my 360, if you seen my other threads, you'll know why. We pulled it after it dropped #6. It's at the machine shop now and they said the block and crank are in good condition for a rebuild, so off we go. Here's what I ordered from Northern Auto Parts...

Hey folks, I know asking for opinions are going to get me slammed with 700 different options, but I value your knowledge, so let me have it. The PO told me this was a fresh rebuild, it wasn't as you see by the pictures. I've only put 700 miles on it since we bought it. Also the PO apparently...

We decided to take my 74 Dart out to my sisters acreage for a BBQ. About 60 miles into the journey, I noticed that there was a rougher sound to the engine. We pulled into the nearest town and it wouldn't idle, I had to 2 foot it into a gas station. Did a quick check under the hood and couldn't...

My 1974 Dodge Dart was originally a /6, now it's a 360LA. The PO reused a lot of parts and I'm wondering if my secondary stumble is caused by lack of gas from the mechanical pump. Is it possible the PO used the pump from the /6 with the stock 2 bbl carb and it's unable to feed the AFB 4 bbl...

Hi all, On my 74 Dart I thought it would be nice to brighten up the lights. Checking the forums here I found lots of useful information. Thanks to all that contribute. Here's the situation... LED lights all around, marker lights, brakes, front signals etc. All the more expensive Phillips LED...

Does anyone know if there are any cruises going on in the Calgary area this summer? I'm dying here, taking the car out many times so far but no other Mopar guys to shoot the **** with. Damn Covid.

This happened in Calgary a few weeks ago on Facebook of all places. Someone stole a guys 1970 Charger Daytona from his back yard. There were so many people posting sightings of it that the dirtbags that stole it dumped it on a gravel road just out of town. First time I ever saw real goodness...

Hey folks, I've got a few hundred miles on my 1974 Dart that had it's first start in many years this spring. It has a rebuilt 360 sometime since 1984. I can't verify how long ago because it was 2 previous owners ago. I've checked compression on all cylinders and it's good at ~125psi. Plugs are...

I bought a 1974 Dart Swinger non-running. My son and I spent the last 18 months getting the various parts and missing pieces to get it on the road. We have it running now, and it purrs quiet nicely. Can squeal the tires with half throttle. Here's what I know about it. 360LA rebuilt with a Mopar...

I keep reading about how replacing the rubber bushings with poly in the front end makes a world of difference in handling and steering. My 1974 Dart is running great now, been driving it daily for a week with no issues, but looking at the 46 year old rubber bushings makes me think it's time for...

I bit the bullet and ordered a new dash circuit board for my 74 Dart. The old circuit board was missing traces and has way too many cracked traces to try and fix it. Trust me I tried as you can see in the picture attached. Anyway, when I got the new circuit board and my dash lights wouldn't fit...

Hi there, I'm looking for some decent armrest pads and bases for a 1974 Dart Swinger. Seems to be a rare part that not even Classic Industries or Year One carry. Thanks, Rob

What is the secret to replacing door lock cylinders? I had to buy a new set, cause the driver door lock fell out. But I'll be damned if I can figure out how to maneuver the new lock on to the linkage. There must a be a trick to it, I'm not seeing it. Any advice is most welcome as always. Oh...

I bought this 1974 Dodge Dart Swinger last year, not running. Me and my son spent the last year getting it into a running condition. The guy we bought it from said he bought it in Coaldale Alberta Canada, in 2017. The last time it was registered was in Calgary, Alberta Canada in 1989. It was a...

Hi everyone, I've gone through all the first time startup procedures and have been getting ready for this day for almost a year since we bought the car. Battery fully charged, coolant, gas in the bowls, primed the oil pump, turned it over and a couple of cylinders seemed to fire, some back fire...

I've been working on my 1974 Dodge Dart Swinger since buying it non-running last October. It was a slant 6 but the previous-previous owner swapped in a 360. As far as I can tell he never finished the project, so it's never run. We've got all the pieces and were ready to see if she would start...

I'm having a heck of time reinstalling the shift linkage in my 1974 Dart. I blame the headers. This last grommet circled below in grey is the holdout. I bashed and bruised my hands, tried above and below the car for over 4 hours yesterday and could not get it to pop in. I think I'm missing a...
