Thanks, so they are difficult to find. I'll work on how to PM and pay you.

Thanks Syleng1, much appreciated

I have a 360ci SB from around 1974 with electronic distributor; I wish to replace the bushings in the dizzy but haven't found a mail order source yet, I expected them to be listed at RockAuto. Please, where is the aftermarket place to buy these bushings?

Hi, Are you running slicks snug in between rolled up wheel arches and leaf springs, please share some guidance? I’m moving up from RWYB to bracket and want slicks in place of street radials, they are 245/60R15 on 15x7 rims, axle is non-std with discs. What size and brand slicks fit in those ‘67...

Mattax and 67Dart273 thank you for describing the potential charging fault locations. I will take another look tomorrow; I'll strip back the harness branch to the alternator and try and see what was done in the stock reg delete mod. I checked the bulkhead connector a few months back and in was...

Lord Sparky Thank you, I'll check the Crackedback's wire options. 67Dart273 Thank you for focusing me on determining the problem rather than working out where to source each spare part in the system. I did some testing; while running at idle the battery voltage across the terminals was 12.6V...

Hi, My '67 Dart is showing very little charge voltage, ~12.2V when off, ~12.2V when running and the ammeter sits 3/4 the way toward full charge on the right hand side (~30A ?). The car starts ok, although it's only used in the daytime in good weather so not much electrical load. I'm wanting to...

Update: The new flasher unit has the same 2 spade connections at 90deg to each other, marked 'X' & 'L', in the same orientation as the failed unit removed from the car, but it turns out that the polarity is incorrect; I made a bodge wire so that the flasher unit terminals can be reversed and the...

Hey thank you for the links, that's a great read, a lot of very relevant info, much appreciated. Today's update: The new turn signal flasher unit arrived in the post so just been out to try it. I tested this new flasher with 2x21W bulbs in parallel across the battery and it flashes ok as...

Yes, the socket looks crimped into the reflector housing, I think ok not loose but I will take out and check better. There is a ground connection spade off the side of the socket to housing joint, I will clean that up. Now that the plated finish (zinc? chrome?) has long gone, what would you...

That makes sense, thanks, replace the moving parts. Eastwood sell some 'almost chrome' paint to restore the reflector.

Aha, thank you. I hadn't got any reaction out of the emergency flashers until this recent troubleshooting so the switch could well be worn out/oxidized, it jumped into life after excercising it a bit; I'll get one ordered.

Mattax Thank you for the bulb information and the links. I've taken the Front RH bulb out and cleaned up the ground strap back to the front panel, reassembled but no change. The status now: The earlier short has not shown up again (dome light still working). All bulb filaments can be illuminated...

RedFish, many thanks for the info and link here for the sockets, much appreciated. I've just checked and yes 1.125" so I get these ordered. The front park/turn sockets look to be integral with the reflector housing? Is there a known good repro source of these? Mine aren't so shiny.

ok, I've done a bit more work. I checked the tail light bulbs as the sockets do deteriorate, the plastic isolator and the sprung contacts. Each one looked reasonable; I was concerned that the contact on the bulb could bridge across the two sprung contacts, if the plastic isolator could twist...

Thanks for homing in on the location of the short. I'm off to a car show today in my son's '72 Satellite so I won't get any checking done until later or tomorrow evening - reserve car luckily. It's interesting to hear that you don't get something for nothing with regard to the one-wire...

Dana67Dart I have just ordered diagram from Classic Wiring, thank you looks easier to follow than thin black lines on 5 different pages in a manual. The blinkers did work ok until the last journey; I can't think of anything unusual happening, no electrical work done. Sounds like this is going...

Mattax I haven't found second flasher yet. Turn bulbs in instrument panel are ok. Thank you for the pics. Dana67Dart Thank you, I haven't had a chance to go thru the whole sequence that you had provided, but I will. I have had the grill apart, last year though; each front turn signal/parking...

Mattax thank you for diagram and link. Krooser I'm not too sure of the bulb number but noted for later, thank you. RedFish Thank you for ashtray receiver example, I'll check around that territory further, I'm pretty sure that there isn't a flasher there. A lot can happen to a car in 53...

Mike69cuda thank you I haven't checked fuses, I'll get home later and do that. All four bulbs light-up, left turn lights frt & rear, right turn lights frt & rear. I read here on FABO that the turn flasher is near the ashtray and the hazard flash is near the parking brake. I can't find a flasher...

Hi, I'm not good on electrical fault finding, can you lend me some help please? My turn signals stopped flashing, left and right lamps come on when selected but are on solid. I noticed on the dash D-C ammeter that the needle dips slightly for the turn signal current, left or right, but not when...

I’m in need of at least one hood hinge spring for my 67 Dart, Two springs or a pair of complete hinges with springs would be great, even better. I’m in England, UK so I appreciate anyone willing to do the extra work in costing the international shipping.

It will be next weekend before I get under the Dart again; I'll do the direct drum end play check and hopefully adjust the bands and get the valve body back in.

I've found the B&M shuttle rod mod in the instructions for 10225, pls see pic. It's interesting to see the punishment that this rod (assuming B&M or similar) has received in my VB, considerable force needed to deform the rod in the previous photos. My new concern is whether I have the original...

Hey TrailBeast, It's interesting to hear that the rod may be from a shift kit, thank you for sharing your experience. I'm looking carefully at all of the components in the VB and comparing to the book. I appreciate what you say about using a fresh VB, I've read accounts of spending much time...

There is a new twist to the story... Please see pics The shuttle valve primary spring has a piece of tube inside, this looks alien and must limit shuttle travel. The ends of this tube are mushroomed over and worn badly. On page 44, Monroe says that "The shuttle valve controls kickdown "feel"...

It is difficult to discern the gear changes, must be very soft. It will accelerate like fury and is a bit of a handful; I hope to take my foot off the load pedal before it gets too out of shape, but any time I choose to check (by changing from D to 2) it always shows that it was already in 3rd...

Is the LH prybar in the right place? The screwdriver should have been far left? Can you get a driver in front of the band to get contact with the direct drum? I haven't changed the fluid in the 500 miles since I bought the Dart.

Hi, I've now checked the end play and it's way more than 1/8" and there is some radial play also. Not the best news but thank you for sending me down the route to this check. I see now why you suspect a bushing. Please see video Now there is vibration issue with the car that may well be...
