1968 Dart 318 2 barrel.. I don’t know the history of the car but it was converted to the later model Chrysler electronic ignition at some point in its life. I was gonna do plugs, wires, cap, and rotor.. would I need to buy all that stuff for the later model electronic ignition stuff? Say like...

I do not, I’ll give them a look.. I do have a wiring schematic from classiccarwiring.comthe laminated schematic. It’s the indicator bulb. I don’t plan to keep it an automatic in the long term or even in the next year or so. Is there any harm to be done buy not having it ? I found a couple on...

The title has the year and model. After looking at it again.. it could be a lamp. My shift indicator needle is missing also. The wire going to it is in pretty rough shape and has a splice in it in addition to some spots where it’s been taped up because the wire is showing

In other news, my brake light problem has been resolved :thumbsup: It was the turn signal switch. If the only purpose of that cap is for the factory radio.. I’ll leave it out and put it all back together..

I replaced the turn signal switch today and forgot to put what looks like a capacitor back inside the column near the switch. Following the schematic, it goes to the radio and fuse box on the opposite end. The radio in the car currently isn’t working anyhow.. will I need to put it back in ?

Update.. well I think I have something … some shoddy wiring.. leads me to believe it needs a new headlight switch. I wasn’t getting power going into the turn signal switch for the driver side rear.. if I’m following the schematic right, headlight switch feeds it… pulled the plug on the headlight...

Also, after finding a few threads on here.. I’m gonna make sure my turn signal switch is sending power out.. if that ends up being the case, the signal cam is broken anyhow so, it’ll be a prime time to fix that as well… I’ll update later today with what I find.

I think you’re correct.. explains why it was warm.. door was open and the dome light was on while I was trying to find this tail light problem

replaced bulb and still not getting a brake light or turn signal light on the driver rear..while removing a nest of speaker wires and radio wiring from an aftermath radio that was added in the past I did come across this little dude that was very warm to the touch when nothing was on...

It’s been repainted at some point so the shade is a little off but it’s a factory LL1 car

after some new tires today

Great info.. thanks!

68 Dart, 318 with a 904 trans..fire the car up and put it in D, you’ll take off fine and you’ll hear and feel an up shift, but not a second one. While on the highway doing 60mph, it doesn’t sound like it’s turning enough RPM to say be in second still. I don’t have a tach so I can’t verify what...

Hmm I could use one myself.. think I’m gonna put new leafs, shocks, and all the hardware for said project..

I decided to rock the stock 14 inch caps for now. I ordered some 215/70/14s for these wheels. Should perk it up a little more in the looks department. I wanna put some 15s but will wait a lil while

Brought it home finally yesterday. Got up this morning and took the cheesy chrome trim on a roll off the side. It left a ghost behind but I’m sure some compound would clean it up further .. also reattached the rear trim behind the driver rear .. and took the hitch off the back lol. In the words...

Just knock in the dust off this thread to see if there’s still some active Louisiana members here

While this is true.. there’s an infinite amount of guitars out there

I’ve been playing since 1994-95. My current #1.. 2023 Gibson Les Paul Custom ‘68 Reissue.. I absolutely love it. Despite that, I’m considering selling it to fund my new to me 68 Dart GT adventure. I’ve owned guitars at all price points over the years and there’s a lot of great affordable guitars...

This is Toby Wayne.. as named by my nieces and nephews.. He showed up as a stray kitten 8 years ago.. been living his best left ever since. He’s a bit of a needy SOB when ya get to pettin and loving on him lol. He greets me every morning when I get home from work..

If I ran the Slot mag, I was gonna run a 225 width on the rear.. US Mag lists the backspace as 3.80 and Summit shows 3.75 but 4.0 or more would have been better. I’m sure they’ll fit but it’ll limit my tire choices Looks like the back order is to July on the Boyds. That would be a sweet wheel...

Hmm I did not know that.. I’ll give them a look.

I do plan to run super stock rear springs which will give a little more clearance on the rear than factory height..

At least as of now.. the only wheel offered with the small bolt pattern is the 15x7 with 3.75 back spacing. Hmmm

I go tomorrow to check it out in person and make the deal. Due to logistics, I’ll have to park it at my brothers place for a few days till the weekend comes. I have a buddy wanting to make the road trip with me to pick it up Saturday.. that waiting for Christmas morning feeling will take over...

If anyone has been down this road before and can suggest replacement stud sizes.. it would be much appreciated. Going all RH alone is reason enough

This is a power brake car but I’d expect they’re drums.. I pick the car up next week. I’ll need to make a list of to-dos

With the level of removal and install tools out there .. I guess replacing them wouldn’t be too bad to do and yes.. good bye to left hand threads lol

Since the 67-76 rear wheel opening doesn’t have the radius that a Demon/Duster has.. I know it’s a limiting factor.. just didn’t wanna find out the hard way lol

It may make some cringe but I do not and will not care about originality with this car.. if it was a factory big block GTS then I would go OE but.. 318/904 with a rearend made of glass.. it’ll be how I want it. Paint isn’t perfect but plenty good to rock at the local cruse nites..
