    Will these headers fit?

    I'm looking to buy new Doug's headers part# D453 for the new engine that I put together for my 73 Dart. I was about to order them, but I checked the application list and it says "no" for column shift auto transmission. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not? Will they not fit? Is that shift...

    Scumbag Speedmaster caught red handed

    All of you Speedmaster fans should be pissed after watching this video. This is blatant theft and damaging to the company that makes the real thing. How damaging you may ask? They even put his company name on the knock off product. Don't buy anything from Speedmaster.

    Ignition Issue That's Driving Me Crazy

    Howdy everyone, this may be a long read. Since my daily driver POS Ferd is down, I needed something to use to go pick some autoparts. So, why not use my 225 slant 6 73 Dodge Dart? Well I tried, but there seems to be no ignition while it's cold out and yes, we have fuel. Okay, well, I checked...

    Should I grind the steel rockers?

    Howdy everyone! As a mechanic/former mechanic I find that there is always something new to learn. This time it's rocker arm to valve spring clearance with my new valve springs from hughes part# h1110 on some old 675 castings. The springs are a bit wider in diameter than the old ones and with the...

    What systems are compatible?

    I was looking at a used exhaust system for a duster/dart sport and was wondering if a full dual exhaust system minus the full length headers and flanges for let's say a 318 duster be easily adapted to fit a longer 73-75 Dart hardtop coup/sedan with a 318. Is it as simple as extending the length...

    Ignition Module Recommendations?

    The ignition module in my 73 slant 6 Dart seems to have failed. Awhile ago I replaced the crapped out aftermarket icu with an aftermarket one from Carquest that was advertised as "premium" and well... it let me down. Now with two borked modules, I'm feeling more paranoid about these parts(I...

    Header Choices

    I'm slowly getting the parts I need for the 318 swap for my 73 dart sedan. I now find myself looking at headers and worrying about things like quality and fitment. I have bought cheap headers in the past for my Ferds and getting them good enough to work then have them rust away is not something...

    Will this spring height be ok?

    Hello there! I'm in the process of putting my cylinder heads back together for my 318. I have bought Hughes 1110p valve springs to use with my new cam. The intalled height spec is 1.660'', I have 1.640'' with the shim, which is 0.020 shorter. If these were the old stock springs, I would not...

    Rate My Porting

    Like holy crap! These stock castings are so bad, some areas are not even casted center to the valve on these 675 castings. Anyway, here are my early ported pics and the rough casting slag and stuff. I have done more porting and touch up since, so more photos to come. Hopefully they work well...
