If you’re interested in the car shoot me a message. Otherwise I’d rather not clog up a thread with nonsense.

Thank you. Just paranoid because my driveway is a very long steep hill lol.

Leaving the country for a while March 13. Come and get this perfect cruiser for summer. Selling my 69 gts. Has a new blueprint 408 with around 1000 miles. Matching four speed , 3.91 gears with sure trac from dr diff. Also comes with the matching 340 but the 340 needs gone through. Lots of...

Hi guys. I need to order a fan shroud for my champion radiator. Would anyone happen to know the radiator mounting hole spacing measurements for reproduction shroud 2998325 or have one they can measure ? Thanks.

I’ve got an edelbrock air gap new in box with bolt kit and gaskets , as well as a 650 avs2 carb that’s like two months old is well. my 340 started making metal and I think I’m going to go stroker.

Looks like I may be needing some engine work done soon. Anyone have any engine builders they recommend near sw Missouri ? Don’t mind driving a few hours. Thanks all.

Thanks everyone. I ordered a new cable from year one since nobody local had one. I’ll put this back together in a couple of days.

Anyone know why this clip / spring is for and how it is supposed to be installed ? My throttle cable broke today on my 69 dart and when it did this clip came off Off the gas pedal. I can’t seem to figure out how or where exactly it’s supposed to go where it seems to do anything ? Have a new...

Howard’s came back and also said this would be good for my car and that it would be like the popular purple cam. Crower recommended the cam below. Any thoughts on these ? Especially compared to the xe268. I like Howard’s and crower for US sourced materials over comp but keep coming back to the...

Yeah that’s what I was worried about. I’m out of the country until late June. Figured maybe if I order soon I could possibly have one to install this winter. Lol. Summits website actually says they have the comp cam ready to ship but not sure how accurate that is. Usually summit is pretty...

Looking at ordering a cam soon for my 69 dart gts with 340/ 4 speed. Engine is stock except for the usual bolt ons. Headers , dual exhaust , electronic ignition from fbo, avs2 650 carb, 391 gears. Tire are 245/60/15 next set I buy will be 255/60/15. Plan on doing the Edelbrock rpm dual plane...

Not yet. I’m actually leaving the country for work for about three months today. I spoke with doctor diff and I think I’m going to just order an entire third member while I’m gone with 3.91 from him and keep my 3.23 third member in the shop to swap in should ever take a long road trip with the...

I almost bought a wildfire , I ended up going advantage. They are pretty much identical but advantage had a distributor closer to me which made it a little cheaper. Both are great. I actually looked hard at tuxedo too and found that 2-3 of the off brands all seemed to be rebranded tuxedo lifts...

I’m also debating just ordering another thirdmember and keeping my 3.23. Either way what is better , the cone or clutch style sure grip or should I just do a truetrac ?

thank you. I’ve been playing around with some calculators online which is kind of what got me leaning to 3.73 and 3.91. Mostly looking for the best feeling 0-60 or maybe 0-80 times. Right now I’ve been downshifting a lot with the 3.23 and the 3.73 or 3.91 will do a better job keep Keeping me in...

probably the Edelbrock air gap intake manifold. Honestly not to sure on cam. I don’t have a lot of experience there. Figured I’d call Lunati and comp cams and give them my specs and how I plan to use the car then bump their recommendations off this groups. Nothing too extreme though, just a...

Been having a ton of fun with my car but looking for a little more from the 3.23 gears. Car is a mostly stock 340 , 4 speed. Has an avs2 650 carb , electronic ignition , and is tuned pretty well. At some point I’ll be doing a cam and Intake manifold but would like to get gears sorted first...

Thanks to everyone for the help. I’ve been out of town visiting family so I’ve been absent. Got home today and cleaned all the grounds/ terminals , sanded and cleaned everything , installed an ecu from fbo, replaced the coil and bypassed the ballast resistor. It’s running great now and the miss...

Thanks guys. I don’t really have any history on engine or heads as far as rebuild. Seems to run good at idle and up to 4500 rpm. I’ll start digging into it more. Car is numbers matching and has 70k miles. It seems everything is stock except for an Edelbrock carb and an electronic ignition setup...

Hi everyone. I have a 69 gts with a 340 in it. It has rpm breakup at 4500 rpm where it feels like it’s hitting a rev limiter. I was looking at some things today and pulled a valve cover to take a look at the springs. Is it normal to be able to spin valve springs by hand with a rag ? The...

Selling my 1973 dart. I haven’t owned this long. Bought this and ended up getting a 69 shortly after so letting this one go. 1973 swinger with a 318 and auto trans. Interior and exterior is very clean. Engine has an edelbrock avs 2 carb, high amp alternator, and msd ignition. Not sure what else...

eventually I want to get a high output alternator, I want to keep the stock stereo in the dash but hide a Bluetooth amp somewhere and put some good speakers in the dash and package tray so I’m thinking little more alternator might be needed.when I do that I’ll have to bypass it.

Thank you. My plan is to pull this grill , mask it off and paint it.

Im assuming these gauges were added by a previous owner ? The mount plate didn’t look factory but the gauges match the ones in the instrument cluster closely so I wasn’t sure if the gts came with a couple of extra gauges. I was thinking about swapping the amp gauge for a water temp gauge since...

Hi everyone. No real tech here but I figure I’d share an update to what I’ve been doing with the car since I introduced myself a month or two ago. The weathers been pretty good so I’ve gotten to put a couple of hundred miles on it. It’s been running and driving good. I need to get a temp gauge...

I’m out of the country still so I haven’t checked my gear ratio yet. Tires now are 225/60/15. I was thinking about putting 255/60/15 on there but I need to verify the backspace on those wheels. I’m taking them to get powder coated when I get home so I’ll verify then. What do you think of the...

I knew I’d get some of that when I posted , which is fine , I get it. I did buy a gts on purpose to have something that would appreciate. However I don’t plan on cutting her up or doing anything too extreme to her. But I figure all the basic bolts ons and cam to make it rip and keep all the...

I do too, especially with red interior. That car is gorgeous.

I can’t remember off the top of my head. When I decided it I think it was green or blue originally. I’m out of the country for work until the end of the month. When I get home I’ll decode it again. I need to confirm Gear ratio too.

thank you. It looks like this car was brought over to California from Hawaii about 20 years ago and repainted there.
