A friend of mine is looking at a tri power set up using a 318 wide block intake manifold on an old 500 cu. motor he is building. He is doing some modifications but wanted to know if anyone could help with some measurements regarding this type of manifold. The question is the ports appear to be...

A few days ago I posted about how someone scratched all my windows of my Dart while I was at the park. I replaced them this weekend but I wanted to say I appreciate everyone's comments. I especially want to thank Mopar373 here in FL for the very generous offer to give me a windshield to...

Drove the Dart to the park, nice day why not? I come back to the car and someone (perhaps a girl wanting to see if her engagement ring was a real diamond) decided to put deep scratches on every piece of glass on the car except the vent windows. Each gouge was 8"-10" long. What in the heck is...

I am replacing my torsion bars and I am looking for some advice. I am going to use 1.03" diameter but what brand seems really good. I have been thinking of either PST or Hotchkis as I have read here many have done one or the other. Can someone tell me what they have done and are either...

Just a simple question. I am very tired today I've had some long days this last week. Just a simple question. I am working on repainting some taillight lenses on both a '72 & '71 Dart. As I recall the only silver used on the car is argent silver (obviously I am working now on restoring the...

I was at an auto store to get some parts and I walk down an aisle and two young men are arguing. One with a spray paint can in his hand says" Bobby, you think my headers get between 285-290 degrees? Are you nuts?" The other guy says " Don't you ever look at your temp. gauge in the car?" In...

Does anyone know if the Mopar steering wheel spline has changed in the last 40 years? I know that the steering wheel, column, etc. has but the actual spline in the steering wheel, has it changed? I was told no by one source but before I undertake an upcoming project I would like an input from...

I have already talked to Flaming River but kept getting information that just did not pan out. My question is I have a '72 Dart with the stock steering column. I am interested in putting on pre-70's steering wheel. Is there an adapter that I can put on the column that will allow me to do...

Need to replace the gas tank on the '72 Dart. I am looking for recommendations of a good quality new tank and unit. No Chinese junk. I am not interested in a fuel cell. I thought some members may have replaced theirs recently and could advise me on where to get a quality product. Thanks.

I have a Mopar friend moving down here to Florida. He is moving within a quarter mile of the ocean beach and wants to know how much concern is there for salt air corrosion on his Dart. I do not live anywhere near the coast so I thought some of you living on or near the ocean could answer that...

I am looking for front fenders for a '73 Duster for a friend. Is there any other year Duster fenders that will fit a '73? Also any recommendations as to where or who might have them. Thanks.

I am looking for a good reliable stat for my 360. I have heard good things about Robertshaw stats from my AMC friends. Has anyone here ever used them and if so do they make them to fit a 360 and if so where can I get them? Thanks.

A friend of mine is rebuilding a 1966 Barracuda that needs work (I know most do). He asked me if I could find out if anyone can recommend places he could order aftermarket fenders and rear quarter skins etc. He specifically mentioned aftermarket as has had some diffculty with parts off other...

Well I watched the debut of the show Desert Car Kings and it gave me a whole new appreciation for guys and gals that pull parts in the desert. I pull plenty of my share of parts (here in FL)and bumped into a few crazy "critters." But when I watched the show and when they found 5 rattlesnakes...

Talking to a guy over a beer (yes about the ol'days). He remembers when he had ( yes when we were younger :headbang: ) and he beat everything around with his '67 Ford. Then this guy comes around with this 340 Mopar and "spanked the hell out of me." And afterward, he said "Man I got to get me...

Well I have a question from someone that I am sure knows here. I know in 1956 Chrysler came out with 12volt in the 300B, but did their other models still have 6volt until they were all converted to 12volt in 1957? I don't know. Thanks.

Okay here it is. My friend and I are rebuilding a Dart for a guy and he asks about a steering wheel. "oh yeah" he says "they look great in the book (Grants, Summit, etc.) + but what will they look in my Dart?" Well I showed him my two and C.L. showed him his (yes steering wheels!) and he...

Finally finished putting the Firm Feel 3 in and I really like it. The car handles much nicer. I went through two other steering boxes ( one rework and one new ) and I know, sometimes they just don't work out right. The pain is the only way to find out is when you finally get the old box out...

Has anyone every ordered parts (weatherstripping etc) from a company out of Austin, Minnesota named "Just Mopar"? We are replacing all the weatherstripping on a '72 Dart and have to order all the "stuff" for the windshield front and back, trunk, doors pretty much everything. I just wanted to...

I know that the steering coupler is really the same PS 62-78 and also on MS 62-78. My question is, is the difference in the coupler between the PS coupler and the MS coupler the size because of the difference in the length in the steering column? I was wondering if that was the difference and...

Has anyone ever used a "Steer and Gear" steering box as a replacement or upgrade for their power steering box? If so what did you think of it?

Has anyone ever used the longer (inch and a half longer) pittman arms on their car? And if so was it on a stock box or Firm Feel box? I think it changes the ratio from 16:1 to 12:1 more like to T/A or AAR in handling.

Finished my front end rebuild (new bushings, ball joints, everything and of course alignment) nice difference but still not happy at over 65 MPH with my stock rebuilt PS box. I have read the past info. here regarding Firm Feel but does anyone currently have a FF3 installed and if so does it...

I need some help with a question. Are the exterior door handles on Darts interchangable years '67-76? Obviously I am on a parts search. Thanks.

Well I have ordered a new front end and sway bar from PST and I will start tearing things off tomorrow. Of course as luck would have it I only have one tab (pass. side) for the sway bar on the lower control arm. So instead of looking all over and or waiting to get one for the driver's side I...

I thought it would be interesting to see some members pics of their car interiors. We see a good amount of outside pics but alot of cool work shows in the interior too. How about some pics?

What were the exterior paint colors available in 1972 for Mopar A-bodies? Or is there a website I have not found that might give that info.? Thanks.

Well I hoped the title would get some attention. Long story short: Pretty much completed my car (I thought!) "72 Dart, finished my new motor, interior, body & paint, and all the other stuff. I replaced stock power steering with a new STOCK aftermarket ( I know village idot!) unit. Got the...

Well I installed a new Fast Lane bezel and gauges ( Z series Autometer ). Everything is fine EXCEPT the back of the cable for my (72 Dart) speedo' is the plasitic clip type. The back of the gauge is screw-on . I believe all '67-74 speedo' cables are plastic clip. Has anyone else run into...

Well I need some help. The dash bezel cracked in half on my '72 Dart. Can someone tell me what consecutive year dash bezels (if any) will also fit my car(like will '72-74) ? Also will Demon dash bezels fit? I don't have a ralley dash and I know that would not fit. Advice please. I would...
