Hi folks. ‘71 Dart, with a blue interior that I have gradually been converting to black. I was going to replace my original blue cloth (perforated) headliner with a new black one. Replacing would also allow for me to weld in some new seat belt attachment points that are a few inches forward...

A couple months ago, I ordered brake parts for a front-brake overhaul. I have a ‘71 Dart, with the front brake conversion done years ago. From Rock Auto, I ordered calipers, pads, hardware, and hoses for what I thought was the correct “fake” car—I told Rock Auto I had a 1979 St Regis 5.9L...

Hi folks. 1971 Dart. About seven years ago, I replaced my cracked dash pad with a quality repro item. Can’t remember exactly from whom I purchased it, but it was one of those well-known places. At about the same time, I got a new Legendary vinyl upholstery, front and back. Ever since about that...

hi folks. I need the little plastic bezel that surrounds the glove box lock on the basic Dart dash without the wood grain. See photo. Need blue like the photo but will take any color! Thanks!

1971 Dart. 408 (360 LA block). I’ve been chasing what I think is a drivetrain vibration for a couple years (!). Lately, it occurred to me that maybe it’s an engine balance thing. I don’t think it is... the vibration is in the seat of my pants, starts being noticeable at 30 mph and gets...

I'm going to be redoing my suspension soon, and I remember seeing some really nice tie rod ends somewhere… They had polyurethane boots with a nice wire tie holding them on. Does anyone remember seeing these? I need 11/16" ends ... thanks!

i have a 1971 dart but have 10" x 2-1/2" brakes on back. What should I search for when ordering parts from, say, Rock Auto??

The photo is my current steering wheel position when the car is tracking straight ahead. 1971 Dart Swinger. Regarding the front end/steering, everything is rebuilt probably 12-15,000 miles ago. K-frame is a spool type. I have the large "police" disc brakes with the '76 UCAs (tubular...

Here's what I feel is a stupid question, but: In a 360 LA motor, can the lifters be removed and replaced without removing the heads or intake??

Good afternoon fellow A-Body fans, I'm having a devil of a time dialing in my new Holley Street Avenger 4160 770 cfm carb. It's on a '71 Dart; 408 (360 stroker, LA), 0.480", 274 deg, hyd flat tap, headers, 3" X-pipes, O2 in each collector; 4 speed, 3.55 gears. It pulls 17.0" vac at idle (900...

Something bad happened to my motor on the way into work this morning. I have a 408 stroker LA Small Block, 4-speed manual, relatively mild cam. I really romped on it getting on the highway, really winding it out in second and third, and just before shifting into fourth it started making a...

Last summer I converted my three on the tree to four on the floor. Got everything new from Brewers; everything fit perfectly and works great. Using a B body pistol grip shifter with std rubber boot/bellows. The only thing is, I get a really annoying rattle/noisy vibration when accelerating. It...

Quick Fuel 780 SS on a 408 small block. The other day, the motor "bucked" when starting--not sure what happened; I may have released the key for a microsecond and then re-engaged the starter; maybe a tad to much initial timing--and ever since then my carb's been very lean but only...

I have a '71 Dart, non-rallye dash. My speedo cluster bezel and the radio bezel look pretty much like crap.. All the "chrome" edging is worn of, the black parts are lackluster, clear plastic a little scratched, the silver painted parts are dull and lifeless. I look on eBay all the time for NOS...

I'm almost embarrassed to ask, because I feel like I should know and I do know a good way to find out for sure :-) , but here goes: Will my gear oil leak out if I'm swapping out my speedo pinion on my 833 ??

Hello all. New crate motor--360 LA stroked to 408. Brand new four-row brass radiator. Yesterday was first run for me (had been on the Dyno successfully at the builder's shop). I put two gallons of distilled water and 1.5 gal antifreeze in the radiator immediately prior to starting. I have a...

71 Charger 440 mopar dizzy orange box msd blaster 2 coil. Car just died going down the road. No spark. With key in run position, Have 9.4 v at dark blue wire at ballast resistor, 7 v at brown wire at coil. Battery shows 12.5v. A spark plug held against a ground shows no spark when cranking. Any...

I'm in the process of installing an MSD Ready-to-Run distributor (with built-in programmable rev limiter) AND an AutoGage tach. The AutoGage tach has a shift light, and supposedly when you power on, the tach momentarily sweeps up to where the shift light is set (e.g., 4,000 rpm) then goes back...

I'm installing an AutoGage 0-100 psi oil pressure gauge, electrical sending unit. Instead of the sending unit that came with the gauge, I want to use the Mopar Part No. 53030493 dual sending unit that controls both a gauge and an idiot light. I have the resistance curve for the Mopar dual...

Last fall, we fried the fusible link when putting in the a new alternator with the battery still hooked up. D'oh! So now, we have everything squared away with the new fusible link and when we hook it all together, and attach the battery, There is a spark at the battery, and the fusible link...

Hello all, just now getting around to installing my new Quick Fuel SS780 VS carb. Looking for a good fuel line kit. Pre-Magnum 360 small block, edelbrok performer intake, std mechanical fuel pump. Looking for fuel lines, filter, gauge. Should I go adjustable? I think ithe carb has inverted...

I'm doing the typical ammeter bypass using a fat 8 gauge wire from alternator to starter relay (overkill?). I want to use a circuit breaker as opposed to a fusible link, so I don't have to worry about having a spare. Is this a good idea? What is safe amperage for 8 ga? I'm thinking of...

Just received my new 408 stroker based on an LA 360 block. Mating up a four speed. When I went to press in the bronze pilot bushing, it simply dropped right in. I had selected a good socket to use to tap in the bushing, but it fit without pressing; in fact it seems pretty loose to me. If I were...

Hello FABO Friends--does anyone know of a good source for quality wire that can hold up to under-hood temps and conditions? I've had mixed results with the generic parts house stuff. Thanks.

I remember reading in either Mopar Action or Mopar Muscle where they took an Auto Meter or some other voltmeter and stripped out the guts and put them in a vintage Mopar dash in place of the ammeter and it all fit like a glove! a Anyone remember the month and year and what mag? I'd hate to...

I understand these are rated to 6,000 rpm. Is that a limiter, or just that it won't provide optimum performance above that engine speed? If it's not a limiter, is there a way to include a limiter?? Thanks all.

I have a '71 Dart. This piece of sheet metal is maybe 6" x 10" and is a shield in the driver's side rear wheelwell for the four vapor lines/hoses where they turn up into the vapor separator. Mine is shot. I had to remove it so I could replace my vapor return line. I'm thinking about living...

Hi guys. '71 Dart here. I'm prepping the engine compartment for re-painting prior to dropping in the new 408. Things are mostly in good shape; there's little rust although years of leaking brake fluid caused loss of paint in that area and some bad surface rusting with some minor surface...

We just bought a Dodge with a 440, set up for street/strip. No one knew the history-the old man died, car sat for five years, yada yada. But man, what a steal! Has a single-plane manifold and a giant four barrel (and no choke). With a little ether we got it fired up, but it required running it...

1971 Dart /6. About 85000 miles. Three sp manual transmission. I am having a hard time diagnosing what seems to be a sick or injured engine. It all started about 3-4 weeks ago. This car is my daily driver this time of year. It has always run nice and cool, no matter what the weather or...
