I just bid and won 4 15-7 cop wheels with lugnut covers off ebay- should be here by March 6th, Later that weekend, operation suspension upgrade begins LOL. Looks like I have nearly everything I need. I am switching to the BBP obviously. I have a Dana 35 from a wrangler going in the back. I...

I think I need new ones. and got one from Speedway, they send me the wrong on for the left side. I could be wrong, but they kinda look like they won't fit anyway. The right side one on my 68 four door dart is looking like it is going to lose the shock mount part before too long. Anyone know...

A local fella parted out a 73 duster, and viola, I am doing the swap in two weeks. I got upper control arms to ball joint. I ordered the correct ball joint for the swap- shoots, I should say, it's a 4 door 68 dart, will post a pic of it. I am going to BBP for wheel selection, and of course...

I have laid off the ol' wifey dart, had lots going on, but collected a part or two here or there- the Dr Diff was the biggest piece. So what am I doing? Basically, I am doing a BBP brake and suspension swap on it, and putting 15" rims and replacing the 13s. It sits so low that I can't even...

My Dart, or my wife's dart I should say, has been "back burnered" for the last year and a half due to a variety of reasons. That being said, I got around to ordering the BBP disc conversion for it. I went to go order, the auto cost of shipping was nearly 500.00 to Hawaii! Ugh, that old chestnut...

I was just given one, but not sure if it is worth the effort of buying the throttle and kick down linkage to put it on the motor yet- I am still tinkering with the 225 on the engine stand, installing cam etc- the 2bl manifold is at the media blasters and then back for some polishing I think...

I live deep in the jungle, a tropical rain forest, next to steaming lava fields. - It sounds more like the begining to a cheesy romance novel than a topic on an Abody site I guess? But anyway- I am building two 40x30 slabs with a 6' gap between them- on that gap will set a 40' shipping...

Got an oil pan- the correct one, from Rusty- thank you very much- the one that I put a hole in was even the wrong one- Rusty got me the right one (and I will be sending him one as well) - but man, is it running great! I am moving out of my auto shop I was renting to save money for another biz...

I am really confused how the bottom part of the trim glues to the body. It's pretty easy in the channel on the top, but no channel on the bottom- I could really use a pic, mine was missing when I bought it.

Need to order spring perches to weld on to a Jeep axle I am putting in my 68 dart, and also need the shock plate mount thingys as well if I can get new ones somewhere?

Got in a spare head, an oil pan, Oregan cams cam, gaskets, two barrel manifold for the 225. That is going together on the engine stand. Out comes the 170! Also, have bored out the exhaust manifold to 2 1/2" and will replace exhaust all the way out. Lots of small tweaks to the 225, including...

First question, it's a timing thing, but does anyone know the spring perch to spring perch measurement for a 68 Dart off hand? I can't get to mine until tomorrow, but going can measure the jeep rearends today. I want to go BBP on my Dart, and it looks like the best way to go is a jeep Wrangler...

I want to change out to BBP on my 68 dart, need a 73-76 A body 8 1/4 rear end, some guys may want to give it away just to get the pile out of thier yard? I will have you ship it to Oakland, where my frieght forwarder will ship it to Hawaii- have done this with a couple members here, so I know...

I have a 68 dart with a 7 1/4 with Small bolt pattern axles. I want to convert to BBP, for rim selection etc. I understand there are 8 1/4s, came in Dusters and the like? That have BBP and will bolt directly in to the 68 with same hub to hub width? I have ignored this axle my whole life...

I was under the car putting back together my dart, and noticed the oil pan bolt hitting the drag link (I think that is the name for it)- is this the wrong pan for the car or something?

Again, as I was really getting into cleaning this motor up to put it back in, turned out, I think it is a dirt shield? one ear is broke off. I was thinking about putting a WTB on the classified, but not sure if anyone would know it if they saw it. Is this model specific or common on the Six...

Had the engine out, repairing the oil pan and working hard to button it up good. Cleaning up everything, and I see this hiding at the base of the carb. WTF, how'd that get there? I am replacing the motor within 6 months and it will be a 2 bbl, so JB weld it is.

I forgot how massive and heavy these old starters are! Have you guys been putting the smaller starters on them yet? Any issues? I took mine out last night- the bottom stud bolt had welded itself to the starter and came out with the starter. Wasn't as easy a pull as I hoped.

I want to change out the oil pan, took a lava rock, do I have to remove the motor to do this? Looks pretty tight up front by the K member!

I want to buy torsion bars, the .87 ish size for the small block, don't want to get super heavy duty ones, just a bit stronger than I have, the smallest of the small block torsion bars. Where is the best place to get a set? Everywhere I look wants to basically sell me BB torsion bars! Those...

My power steering pump, alternator are looking a bit long in the tooth, a bit rustier than I like, lots of years of sitting in Hawaii temp and heat. I don't' want to get stranded, and I am taking the 170 out this week and putting in the 225. I been searching the old interwebs, but I would like...

I am putting the 225 in the car weekend after next. I don't want the car down for very long, so I am skipping the head work and cam I have for now. So I have things timed out like this- put the 2bbl manifold on the car, have 2-1/2" exhaust put in all the way to the back. I will run the car...

got a 2 bbl manifold from a member here (thanks rusty!) and getting a carb for it. I was thinking square bore Weber bolted up, but the offerings are all over map and I am not sure I am looking at the wrong thing. I am not sure if I have to have that, or can jut run a cheap Motorcraft 2 bbl, or...

Well, I went and put the 225 I got on the engine stand- but oops, it's not a 225 its a 170. Soon as I got it upright on the engine stand- 3 freeze plugs staring at me. I got it for basically nothing, was told it was a 225, my bad, didn't positively ID it, got a lot of parts like trans and...

Well, my too low 68 Dart got a lava rock between the oil pan and the road, oil pan lost badly. SOOO - I am going to do the BBP swap on the brakes, so I can use the rims I want. Got a machine shop that will redrill the axles and drums. Also will mill the heads on my- wait for it- 225 to replace...

I have the stock slant six radiator in my 68 four door dart right now, thinking of an upgrade. I live in Hawaii, and radiant temps in the tropical sun can be brutal. I am also going to put in AC as well. We actually have bad traffic sometimes. So I am a little worried about cooling. So I am...

I may be purchasing a 1974 Dart , a two hour drive from me, with no title, kinda rough. I got to thinking, aren't all 1974 Darts Big bolt pattern and front discs? The guy wants 500 for the whole car, got to tow it on my dolly all the way home- I was thinking of getting it anyway just because any...

Are the front fenders the same as the 2 door dart fenders? I might need to just buy the right front

Both my front doors are hard to open, the passenger door I think the bushing for the rods is just plain wore out. is there something that makes some kind of restore for old mopar doors? My back door window is really hard to roll up and down, and I don't see a good reason that is happening either.

Not looking for serious HP here, low end torque is a very good thing, probably will never see the north side of 4k, and even then only when passing on Saddle road. I got a two barrel manifold coming, have a 38 Weber. got a 225 /6 that is bone stock. I will have to look at what year again to...
