    Lost my Fuel and Temp Guages at the dash in my 67 Dart

    Wow, this is a lot of good information and I really appreciate the time you have taken out of your day to do this. Especially over the holidays. So I took Trapsters advice and went back thru the wiring cluster looking for bad connections and such. First thing I found was the tach was wired...

    Lost my Fuel and Temp Guages at the dash in my 67 Dart

    I totally agree with you and that is why I'm handling this myself; I knew there was a chance of this when i decided to to the alarm install. The whole cluster of wires they installed are right there by the fuse box and there are a lot them.

    Lost my Fuel and Temp Guages at the dash in my 67 Dart

    Both gauges, fuel and temp, always go out at the same time but the rest work. As I understand it, The fuel and temp gauge each have a wire so how can they both go out at exactly the same time? There must be a common intersection of some kind. I did remove the dash screws yesterday and pulled...

    Lost my Fuel and Temp Guages at the dash in my 67 Dart

    Good information, all other devices work perfectly including the alarm and power locks. Where exactly is the pin you refer to located and how can I get to it?

    Lost my Fuel and Temp Guages at the dash in my 67 Dart

    Back story: A few months back I had power locks and a viper alarm system installed on my 67 Dart. It's a California car in very good shape and is a daily driver. Upon leaving the alarm install shop I got about half way home and noticed my fuel and temp gauges weren't working anymore...

    Jay Leno Showing The GTS Dart Some Love

    I ran into Jay in Hollywood walking the sidewalk. He took pictures with us and was really nice and genuine. True story. Also while cruising sunset strip we look over at the car next to us and it's Fabio at the wheel. That was the only time I ever went there to sight see.

    Biggest mistake ever- lunati cams

    MerlinsMopar, I know exactly what you mean being stuck in the middle and feeling helpless at times. I recently upgraded the top end on my 360 and I had to work with a machine shop and a mechanic guy both of whom I dont know, dont have history with and are well recommended. One thing I had...

    C'mon man

    Still have mine too, the gear shift lever is gone though. I just didnt want to take a grinder to the steering column to get rid of it. It's true that it gets over looked after a while anyway. LYS to each his own.

    Severe voltmeter needle oscillations

    You may have inadvertently loosened or broke wire or other connections when you messed with the fuse box. I took my fuse box out to add power locks and when it was all put back together I lost the gas and temp guages. I went back and reinstalled the fuse box and everything started working...

    What do you just have to keep ?

    T shirts, which we all know are hard to get rid of, are a constant challenge as to where to put them and still keep them around.

    What do you just have to keep ?

    A little off topic and apologies for that but...... today I was going thru a cabinet shelf where I stash things that need to be out of site and ran across my backrest style motorcycle bag. I bought this bag for $100 from SAC 20+ years ago when I first started riding. It's so faded from the sun...

    727 Transmission showing signs i need to get it in the shop, need a shop recommendation in Coachella Valley area

    I'm good actually, I'm not going to try and force a round peg into a square hole. The tech articles I've read also don't recommend the stock linkage setup for the very same reasons I'm changing it. My Dart was the 270 model with the V8. This linkage that I have is for that smaller V8. The...

    727 Transmission showing signs i need to get it in the shop, need a shop recommendation in Coachella Valley area

    I found a tranny shop recommended by Brian, who is a contributing member to the forum. What I found in the mean time is the slippage was probably due to how I was driving it. Putting it in neutral at a stop light was the cause and the slippage was the effect. I am going with lokar throttle and...

    Pressure to get car done

    Bill, maybe tell your wife how much you have in the car and she will change her mind :) I told my wife I have it insured for $30k and if she were to sell it that would be a good place to start. I also sold her on the investment side of it; knowing I'll most likely never get what I got in it...

    727 Transmission showing signs i need to get it in the shop, need a shop recommendation in Coachella Valley area

    413 No changes what so ever. I'll check the linkage in the morning to see if I'm missing anything. BTW the kickdown linkage has never worked so I'm going to a lokar kickdown and throttle set up next.

    727 Transmission showing signs i need to get it in the shop, need a shop recommendation in Coachella Valley area

    I inherited this trans is in my 67 Dart and it has performed well up until yesterday. The trans normally shifts at 2000 rpm like clock work and always has since i got the car here in So Cal. Yesterday I was driving home and had a stop light; when i started back up the shift from first to second...

    Hood Pin Install

    I'm about to install hood pins on my 67 Dart. Can I assume it's going to be the same as Johnny Dart's install? Great post BTW, gives me the confidence to do it.

    [FOR SALE] 22 inch 2 row stock A Body Radiator with Electric Fan and Trans Cooler Attached

    This is not the stock radiator for a 67 Dart. It has Mopar p/n 2524972 stamped on the top. Per the internet, originally was made for B bodies, although it was in my 67 Dart with a 360 SB behind it. Was a good fit.

    [FOR SALE] 22 inch 2 row stock A Body Radiator with Electric Fan and Trans Cooler Attached

    This came out of my 67 Dart when I replaced it with an upgraded aluminum radiator. Everything works including the Hayden Fan, model 21058, and there were no leaks in the radiator or trans cooler when I took it out this weekend. It looks rough and could used a good internal cleaning for sure...

    ProForm 4" Slim Radiator install in 67 Dart

    My LA 360 was overheating at stop lights in warm weather. The old set up was a 22" stock radiator with an E fan in back and Transmission cooler mounted on the front. Most the time I was okay with this set up but overheating did happen (> 210 degrees) if I didn't watch it. The 67 Dart's didnt...

    Sad Ending to My Dart Build

    Feel your pain my Mopar brother. The insurance game is brutal, its not designed to make you whole after a loss like that. I insure my classics with Hemmings. You tell them what amount of insurance you want and that is what you will get paid if it's a total. I have the dart insured for $20,000...
