My talented neice drew a beautiful picture of my 72 Swinger as a gift for me!

I'm cosmetically reconditioning the standard dash in my 72 Swinger. Everything works -- ammeter, gas gauge, temp gauge, speedo, brake & oil dummy lights, and the light and wiper switches -- except for the 1" round seat belt light below the gas gauge. And I'm not going to be restoring its...

As far as I can tell, the “SPECIAL” fender emblem for Swinger Specials are not reproduced, and most original ones are badly faded. Mine looked awful, so I designed and printed a high quality sticker that comes very close to the original and sticks onto the original emblem frame. It turned out...

I had this booster rebuilt 20 years ago, but I never put it back on my car because I like manual brakes better. I can’t guarantee its functionality but it was definitely rebuilt and never installed. All the brackets that held it on a 72 Dart are there. I think I may have the master somewhere...

Installation kit with all the clips and screws. It says 70-71 on the package but it’s identical to a 72 kit. $15 obo + shipping. A really busted up 72 Dart grille. Maybe someone can use it. $0 plus shipping. 2 sets of decent headlight bezel pieces. $20 per set obo + shipping. 2 sets of decent...

For many years I drove my Swinger with stock hubcaps on it. More recently I picked up some nice stock SBP 14” Rallye wheels and put 215/70/14 Cooper Cobras on em. I am still amazed at how much the wheels took the car from “grandma” to “sporty.” First pic is the hubcaps, the rest are recent -...

I'm tired at looking at the faded "SPECIAL" emblem on my 72 Swinger (see the red picture below). I thought about trying to paint the faded parts, but with my art skills it would look terrible. They certainly don't sell any repops for these and used ones are either rare or as faded as mine. So...

I successfully removed this thing 10 times over the past 25 years and last night I finally cracked it. I really just need a good plastic bezel, but i’d consider one with circuit board and gauges. The finish doesn’t have to be perfect - I can paint and put a DMT wood decal on it. I ship stuff...

New thermostat arrived in the mail today. MotoRad 206-180. Included in the box were two gold ball studs - the things that gas springs hook onto. Is there something I’m not getting here? Also, is a thermostat supposed to come with a new gasket or seal? Ironically i see these ball studs every...

Hi All. It's come to my attention that my 1972 Swinger w/318 probably had some add-on emissions devices because it was sold in California. The first was the NOX system, which was long since disabled and I've now completely removed. But the second was an always-open EGR. There is no vacuum...

Four steel wheels from my 1972 Swinger 14" x 5.5" Small Bolt Pattern 5x4" 20 old (maybe original) RH lug nuts 4 hubcaps like the one in the picture. They have some dings and scratches but are pretty clean for a driver. The wheels are certainly not perfect and could use some blasting and...

I'm currently cleaning up all my wiring and connections, fixing things that need fixing along the way. The FSM (for a 72 Valiant) wiring diagram has been extremely helpful, though it's still a tough slog. Someone did a crappy black spray bomb in the engine bay a long time ago, covering the true...

Hi. I think I know the answer to this but I wanna check it with the crowd. I got this cool aluminum bottle that I'm going to use as a radiator overflow bottle. It has a nipple on the side of the bottom (straight through the wall - no tube inside). The cap has a rubber seal. I think I should...

Just trying to figure out whether to try and restore the one I have (fixing a few louvers and painting), find a decent used one, or spring for one of the repops. Does anybody have anything? I'd also entertain 70 or 71 grilles if they are complete with lenses and everything. .

I daily drive my 72 Swinger with a remanufactured 318 (probably has ~1500 miles on it at this point). I believe the reman motor was obtained through one of the big parts chains. The car starts/runs/pulls great. But every once in a while I get my oil light coming on for a couple seconds --...

This seat was in my 72 Swinger until recently. It has the high backs with built in headrest. This would be a good core for a recover/restore. Some of the butt springs might need to be shored up, but the slider mechanism is all intact. The vinyl is split in a few places, but overall it could be...

Hi all. Apologies for the long story. I'm on a quest to have a working fuel gauge in my 72 Swinger-- I've read virtually every post on this site and I clearly still have a lot more more troubleshooting to do. But as I go through everything, I'm having a problem that makes little sense to me...

When I replaced the rusty old tank in my 72 Swinger, I thought I was being good boy by ordering a new Spectra sender to go with it. Only after the old sender was long gone did I realize how truly awful the readings are from a Spectra sender. So before I go for a MeterMatch or similar wizardry...

72 Swinger. 318 Long story short: I had a reman 318 put in the car and it came back with a cracked driver exhaust manifold near where one of the center bolts went through. I obtained a good manifold (same stamp 2951123) from a kind forum member here and brought it all to an exhaust shop that...

Long shot here, but would someone have a stock driver side 318 exhaust manifold to replace my cracked one? Stamp on the existing one is 2951123. Doesn't seem like Dorman or anyone else makes a repop of this one, so I'm scouting to see what I can source from the Mopar gods of FABO. I'm in...

Silly question, I know, but can someone help me ID the PS pump in my 1972 Swinger w/318? The car is currently at the shop having the transmission completely rebuilt, and I'm stockpiling some parts for when I get it back. The pump leaks, so I'm either going to get a replacement or parts to...

My 1972 Swinger Special 318 sway bar appears to be original and it's 1 1/8" in diameter. Most of what I read shows stock having 7/8", so perhaps it is aftermarket. Does anybody know whether the 1 1/8" was a stock item? I'm going to be replacing bushings and links -- any brand suggestions? Is it...
