I have had my Dart running for 10 years has never had a problem except for starting after setting for a couple of months. Specs….408, aluminum heads, 10.6 cr, Mallory hyfire, cell in the trunk, hi volume electric pump going to a bypass regulator under the hood, bypass line back to the cell...

I really need some suggestions. I am a Mopar guy, but my buddy has a 69 big block Chevelle and I am stumped. It has a Q-jet with automatic. When rolling about 40 mph in 3rd and you barely increase the throttle it starts stumbling and even loses all power until you back off the throttle a bit...

Need pictures of your trunk that has a fuel cell and battery relocation. If there is a thread already and someone can point to it, would be great. Would appreciate any other pics you may have of your installation. Next week I am changing the stupid plastic tank to an aluminum one and sprucing...

I would appreciate if someone could measure the distance from the end of the trans yoke seal to the end of the output shaft. See my little diagram below. I am having Inland Empire build me a driveshaft and they needed this dimension. I cannot get to mine right now as it is in the car with a...

Could you please posts some pictures of your bypass regulator at the carb. I am going from a deadhead to a bypass in the next couple of weeks and am going to be gathering the fittings and like and would like some ideas. Here is a picture of my current system. Also, the reason for the change...

I am sure there is a thread about this, but have not found it. I am wanting to get my pinion angle adjusted as I am sure it is not correct. In your experiences, how much movement of the pinion in terms of angle have you seen with your Caltracs with a car that will be in the high tens. I want...

Still not resolved. Took the Dart out yesterday and was hard on it till about 95 mph. Not super horrible, but pretty good vibration, even after letting off till speed decreased. It is not wheel speed and not engine speed as I have had it over 6600 rpm in first and second...does not occur...

Been wondering this for a long time. About 30 years ago I had a 71 RR with a 340 PG 4 speed. It started missing a little, so did a compression check and it was down on one cylinder. Long story short, had to tear it down and pulled the piston out of the dead cylinder and the top ring came out...

Been wanting to start this for a while. Was on a tiger cruise with my son quite a few years ago. He was a Master Helmsman on a nuclear cruiser. I was on the bridge with him, the captain was sitting next to me. They had an exercise whereby a drone going over at greater than mach speed went...

So my buddy asks me "do you want to come over and help on my startup after engine rebuild?" Now the engine had been sitting for more than a year after being built. I said sure, knowing that the guy that rebuilt the engine was going to be there. Now be forewarned, this was a 396 Chevy. I asked...

Hi to All, Currently my speedo shows 60, but GPS shows 43. I had a 39 tooth (green) gear which showed about 20 to 25 off. Now I am about 17 off with a 42 tooth (white). Car is 71 Dart with 28" tall tires and 4:10 gears, brand new cable and the gear holder in the trans is clocked correctly...

I am in need of a #2538942, white 42 tooth long speedo driven gear for my 904. PM me if you have one to sell. Thanks......!

I am needing a custom aluminum fan shroud. I am drawing it up in 3D and then will create the 2D prints from that. Any recommendations on an a guru that can make artwork from aluminum? ...or a company that specializes in custom aluminum fan shrouds?

After not starting for a couple or a few months, it was a sumb**tch, to get the Dart going...crank, crank, sputter, backfire, then when it does catch, afterfire in the exhaust. Pull the plugs and they are black and wet with fuel. I finally have started draining the front bowl of the carb and...

took one of my sons out for a little ride the other day and he had his camera on. 408 stroker, about 580 hp, 904 trans, 4.10 back end. Rolling about 20 in second and nailed it. Let off a little over 90 about 6 seconds later. 71 Dart Swinger - YouTube

Every time I start my Dart I have a slight amount of belt squeal. I have one belt around the crank, water pump and alternator. The crank pulley is about 20% smaller than stock, made from aluminum, the water pump is also aluminum and the alternator pulley is stock steel. Current fan is a 7...

Thought I would share. Finished this September. Was no rust at all on the car, but had been thru parking lot wars for years. I knew I could not get the RH quarter straight, so I chopped it out. All work by myself....just like the rest of the car. Hundreds of hours of block sanding. Original...

on my fairly radical 408 I have a Mallory magnetic breakerless distributor with a Mallory 6AL box. When the engine is warm it is turning over slow due to timing. I am running 24 initial with 34 total, no vacuum advance. I have a switch to turn on the ignition. No problem when cold. Can I...

Hi All, Have always been happy with my Holley 750 HP, except when starting cold. There is no choke and would take about 4 to 5 times of starting to keep running, then good. I purchased a new Quickfuel 850 with mechanical secondaries and electric choke. Throttle response is markedly...

Well right in the middle of a repaint.....uhggg! Can only spend about 15 hours a week. This thing was so wavy and dings I was embarrassed to show it. RH new quarter all welded in. Block sanding everything, over and over. Hopefully by the fall I will have the paint on it....and yes I am...

My brother saw this advertised and I am going to look at it today. I have had 2 of these 71 Roadrunners in the past but with 340 4 speed pistol grips, same color. One of them I took my girlfreind, now my wife, to prom 40 years ago in. 1971 Roadrunner, 383, auto on the column, all original...

I started the Dart yesterday, but it took a lonnnnggggg time to start. Wondering if the older 93 octane gas contributed to the difficulty. Here's the details.... Sitting in garage with temps going from 30 degrees to 60 degrees for the past 5 months Holley HP 750 (no choke) (I may switch...

My brother travels a lot as a salesman. He was in the Quad Cities a couple of days ago and stopped behind a girl\woman at a crossing in the road. He noticed that she was messing with her cell phone, probably texting. A couple of generous opportunities came and went for her to pull out and...

I have an Edelbrock 1792 electric pump. The Dart has about 1500 miles on it. I had set the pressure on the regulator to 6.5 psi. Yesterday on the way home, it kept going down.......down to 3.5 psi by the time I got home. Pump did not sound the same, like it was not under a load. Sound like...

Hi All, I have extensively read all the threads on pinion angle settings. Experiencing a pretty good vibration at WOT towards top of second gear in a 904. Surely seams like @ drive shaft speed, not wheels and diminishes a little after shifting to 3rd. I can rev this thing to over 6K in...

Getting ready to do a paint job on the Dart. Doesn't look that bad in the picture, but it is pretty wavy and has a ton of dings and bumps. Color is going to be the same 1971 Gold Poly. Question....on the hood, your opinions. (besides scrap the cowl hood...LOL) Flat Black Gloss Black Same...

....and close to 80 mph!! Took the Dart out on a country road about 5 miles from the house. Got on it in 2nd, spun too much, probably close to rev. limiter, peddled a little and got traction, up to about 6K, shift to 3rd. Immediately fuel started spraying all over the windshield from out of...

For all you M.A.S.H. fans....Allan Arbus a.k.a. Dr. Sidney Freeman passed away he was 95. One of my all time favorite shows....still watch on occasion. Hawkeye B.J. Radar Henry Blake Col. Potter Klinger Hot Lips Ferret Face Father M. etc., etc.

I have a 71 Dart with the factory gage. Currently running a 12 gallon Jaz cell with their 70-10 ohm sender, 70 empty and 10 full. If I fill the cell to within 1" of the top, the gage will indicate about 3/4 full. After using only about 4 gallons the gage is on E. It sounds like I have too...

Running a fairly radical 408 with lots of cam in 71 Dart. Currently have regular engine mounts with torque strap. Problem is the engine shakes around a lot and the header clearance is very, very tight. Shiny new ceramic TTI's, and I don't want to chew them up. I have a set of Moroso solid mounts...
