Incredible, there's not a single A Body Dart panel. How can nobody make a fender for one of the most popular cars Chrysler ever made? The problem with buying a used one, especially sight unseen, is that you never really know what you're getting into in terms of body work.

I'm contemplating restoring my 1970 Dart Swinger 340 and I'm trying to figure out the costs for parts/paint. I've got a crew to do the work, just need to find the parts. Where do you guys recommend I look for: 1. Front driver's fender (new and used)? 2. Rear quarter panels and/or repair metal...

So it sounds like Centerforce is the best thing to use. After a quick search it appears I need the Centerforce DF269739 for my 1970 Swinger 340. I'm getting prices of about $350, which is about 3x what I'm getting from Rock Auto non Centerforce clutches. Does that sounds right? If I were to...

I'm replacing the original clutch in my 1970 Dart Swinger 340 w/4 speed. Any recommendations as to the replacement unit I should buy? I see there are a few clutch kits out there but figured someone might have experience with one over the other. Ideally I'd like to keep it as close to original...

Sounds great. I've finally got the '70 340 Swinger running like a charm (almost) and if I can find someone else to drive, I'll bring the '75 Swinger, too. It will be cool to meet my fellow Austin MOPAR wackos. Corey

The 10" Wagner drums from Rock Auto worked out great. It was a helluva job since nothing on the brakes had been touched since the early 70's. Turns out I was pretty close to death judging by the wear/warping and rust we found. I did manage to find a guy in Long Island, NY who claims to have...

Awesome. I found the Carter at Rock Auto for $21.79 and I'm ordering it now.

I'm looking to replace the fuel pump on my '70 Dart Swinger 340 with something as close to stock as possible. I'm pretty sure it's got the original fuel pump on there now. Any suggestions? Is there a MOPAR fuel pump still in production?

damnimcooltom, you are THE MAN. Just ordered them. Fingers crossed they get here by Friday.

wawarnick, this is the only one online ad Advance, and it doesn't say the size: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Brake-Drum---Rear-Wearever_25989509-P_2353_R|GRPDRUMAMS_989464961___ That what you ordered?

Can anyone help? I'm looking for the 10" rear drums for a 1970 Swinger 340, discs up front. Nobody seems to have this part anymore... only the 9". The only place I've been able to find it is O'Reilly Auto Parts and they are $96 each. If all else fails, I've got to bite the bullet and get...

I'm now looking for brake stuff - drums, rotors, wheel bearings, wheel seals, caliper crossover hydraulic tubes. Any good place online for those? I need to order ASAP!

How about suspension.com and summit racing? Have you used either of those, or heard anything good/bad about them?

Thanks, crackedback. I checked out both Jack's and Dante's and save them in my favorites. Got any others I should check out?

Very interesting... so the "L" designation to the "A" engines (hence Lightweight A) applied to all 340's including the one in my car. There was no LA engine option, it's simply that the 340 was one of the new for '67+ lightweight engine designs called "LA". I get that right?

Belmateo, did I miss something? Didn't see anything about the LA engine in that thread... or was that the point?

I may need some suspension parts and bushings.... working on the front end now. Will probably also need brake parts. I just bought generic brake pads/shoes and shocks... are there "restoration" versions of those?

Today a buddy of mine told me about something called an "LA Dart" engine.. which was a lighter weight version of the 340 you could have ordered. According to him the numbers on the engine start with "A" in stead of some other letter and that's how you can tell one from a regular 340. Being a...

Where are you guys buying your restoration Dart parts online? It's hard to tell which sites are legit and which are not - most of them have terrible websites that look my 5 year old made them. The only one I've really used more than once is Jims Auto Parts http://www.jimsautoparts.com/ which...

Anyone know a good place in or near Austin for Mopar restoration parts? I've been here for about a year now and I don't know of a place... any help is much appreciated.

Yup, you need an inspection in TX. I had to do my '75 Special Edition and I'm about to do my '70 340, both moved from NY.

I've got 2 A-Bodies: '70 Swinger 340 & '75 Special Edition 2 Door (basically a Swinger). See my sig line for details.

It's located in a small sleeve between the ash tray and the glove box. You gotta reach up there and feel around to find it. Pain in the ***. Thanks to all.

V8, that would be great. Let me know if can find it. Demon Seed, thanks, I'll check with them. For now I'm going to use the one I have and have the points cleaned if necessary. Car has 15K miles on it and this is the original distributor (I think).

Thanks. I was hoping to find a new one, but it seems like nobody is making them. Is it safe to use a used one?

I'm trying to replace my turn signal/flasher relay and I'm not sure exactly where it is in the car. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Any ideas on where I can locate a dual points distributor to replace the original one on my 1970 Dart 340? Every place I've tried says they don't make em anymore.

My 70 Swinger 340 has dash guage issues. The gas/alt/oil pressure guages work sporadically and when they do work they seem to be all over the place. Speedo works fine. Sounds like it could be a loose wire? Any advice on how to fix this? Much Thanks, Corey
