I recently came across a set of red circle poverty caps for a good price and wanted to use them on steel rims on my '68 Dart. The problem is the fit. For one, it's a Dart so there's not a ton of room. I'd like a narrow 15" Mopar steel rim (6" wide?) on the front and I'd like a 15x7 or 15x8 on...

I haven't posted a dumb question since my last post, so here it goes: I have a 360 LA core that I want to take to the machine shop and get checked and machined for a rebuild. I was told the engine came out of a van. I've seen some comments about truck blocks, is there a difference in the mounts...

I'm sure this has come up before but I'd like to replace the front fenders on my '68 Dart instead of doing a lot of patch work. Finding good '68 fenders seems like hitting the lottery. I know of some '69 Dart fenders fairly local to me that are in pretty good shape and don't need near as much...

I have a 360 engine and a set of J-heads (3418915 castings). The heads are the 1.88 intake valve version and supposedly have combustion chambers that are somewhere between 65cc to 73cc volume. I haven't measured them yet. I have an opportunity to pick up a set of X-heads (2531894 castings). I...

I have a couple rusty panels on my '68 Dart that I'd like to replace but have not found them on the AMD or YearOne websites. Does anyone know what the ribbed panels are called between the front frame rails and the rocker panels? Are these available as reproductions? I've circled them in yellow...

I was wondering if anyone knew of an A-body body/frame jig that anyone has made or any plans that anyone is aware of. I have a '68 project Dart that I'm getting in kind of deep on. I found a rotted front frame rail on mine and started trying to figure out how to replace it. I bought a set of...

I just picked up a project 360 engine this past weekend. It's a 1974 block out of a van and it came with a pair of 915 casting heads. One is a J head but the other is a U head. My understanding is they are basically the same head, can I use these on the same engine or should I start looking for...

Can anyone tell me whether a set of nice rust free rocker panels (inner and outer) harvested from a 68 Dart 4 door sedan will work on a 68 Dart 2 door hardtop once the bottom parts of the B pillars are removed from the rockers? I’m told they are very nice and it would save me a bundle of cash if...

I went to start my Dart yesterday to drive it to a space where I'm going to be working on it. It has been sitting for a few weeks so I expected a cold start. It cranked well, battery was strong but I was not getting fuel to the carb. I'm getting good spark and it fired briefly with starting...

Looking for an A-body 8.25 rear end to swap out the 7.25 currently in my '68 Dart. Would prefer one with all the brake components still with it, open rear is ok but of course a Sure Grip would be better. I'm in Bradenton, Florida (south end of Tampa Bay) so it needs to be somewhere in Florida so...

I spent last weekend getting a space ready to dive into fixing some issues with my Dart so that I can move on to sheet metal rust repair, interior refurbishment, and an engine/drivetrain rebuild. I've gotten some great advice here and now I have one more question about rear frame rails. My Dart...

I am wondering if anyone, preferably within 150 miles of Sarasota, FL has a set of the #302 casting small block Mopar swirl port heads in good rebuildable condition for sale. Thanks. K.C.

I've got a '68 Dart GT with the original 318, 904 auto, and a 7-1/4 rear end. I am getting ready to repair the front left frame rail and thought it would be a good time to freshen the engine and transmission. First the engine. Like I said, its the original 318 but at some point during it's...

I have a question about the very top of an A-body shock tower. I have a nice set of frame rails I got to repair my '68 Dart. Once I have my front sheet metal off and can inspect the right front frame rail more thoroughly, I am leaning towards just replacing or grafting the front section on to my...

Hi, I've posted recently about some rust damage in the driver's side front frame rail of my 1968 Dart GT. I've been going back and forth about trying to repair the frame rail or replace it. Now I'm back to considering just replacing it but I've never done anything that invasive on a unibody car...

Hi, I'm in need of a front left frame rail for a 1968 Dart, I know many other years of A-bodies have the same frame rails so let me know if you have something. I would consider a front clip with full frame rails if it is within up to a few hours driving distance from Tampa, Florida. Let me...

I've got a 1968 Dart GT which has some underside rust issues. The main issue I need to deal with first is a rust hole in the front left frame rail right at the shock tower. There's a little bracket there, I've attached a picture and circled it in red. On my car, the hole is right behind this...

Hi, I know this subject has probably been beaten to death but does anybody know where I can find a reasonably priced small ball joint socket? I've been searching eBay, looked on Amazon, and did general internet searches but all I can seem to come up with is a $45 to $50 socket from Mancini...

I'm new to the forum so I don't know if this is the right place for this thread but I was hoping some of you Mopar A-body experts might have some advice. I have a 1968 Dart GT 318 with an A904 auto transmission and a 7.25" rear end. The car has non-power drum brakes all around and power...

Hi, My name is K.C. and I've been a Mopar A-body fan for a long time. My first car was a 1969 Barracuda 340 4 speed back in 1981. Wish I still had that one. I've had a couple others since, including a 1968 Barracuda and a 1975 Duster. I recently got a 1968 Dart GT. It's nothing fancy but it has...
