Ok guys, the wiring harness in my 68 is shot. I bought an American auto wire harness. Can someone send or attach the original 68 Wiring diagrams? I want to go off those as much as possible. Also, what are you guys using for firewall connectors?

Yeah, the car was launched. It hooked and even with traction bars it wheel hopped. Broke teeth off the ring gear, and the cap that is pictured above. DoctorDiff, its looking like the 8 3/4 is going to stay. Can't convince my old man its time to upgrade. What do you recommend to keep this from...

So has anyone heard of replacing the crush washers in the nose with solid shims? Someone i know has a 700hp 440 running an 8 3/4. Per his word, if you replace the crush washer with solid shims, you can avoid the crush washer collapsing and causing the main caps failing. Has anyone seen/...

Well lets lay it all on the table. Run to the sun at myrtle beach is in a month. The center section hadn't been touched in at least 10 years other than fluid changes. Before that, never gone through. Even if the case for the center section has to be replaced and all the internals also, looking...

It's an original 8 3/4. Not my dart. But is there a way to keep what it has? It's not in the budget to swap to a dana.....

Needing a little help from that awesome mopar community. Went out last night to "Break-In" a new carb on a healthy 440-4 speed car with a 8 3/4 rear, and redefined the term break-in. Ended up chunking the rear end. From a quick visual, I found that the carrier main caps broke. (if thats...

thanks a bunch everyone! i think for now the car is just going to get towed to the new house. I feel like cutting corners now will only lead to more problems. with 45 years of NC humidity the fuse block, and major sections of the harness have noticeable corrosion. Ron Francis kit looks like it...

I understand where you are coming from. But i will do whatever is necessary to make the car safe and reliable. This was my first car, my daily for 4 years, and the one thing i can't give up on. HAHA. Plus it's a factory paint, 68 dart with very minimal rust. I bought it as a survivor when i was 13.

I am confident i could do a pre-made harness. However i don't feel comfortable with assembling my own harness. There is so much that i don't fully understand and i would rather have the engineering already done. Do you know what companies other than painless performance offer wiring for our Mopars?

I would do the restoration harness but i plan on a ton of add-ons in the future and a custom harness is the best solution. While i'm at it right?

So i am in the process of buying a house and haven't gotten to mess with the car much. So this weekend i decided to get a couple things done and maybe take it to a cruise. Long story short, as i was checking the lights, as i always do after the car sits, and i noticed the instrument lights...

The cost would be close to $400.

68 Dart Grill and Parking Lights. Asking 350 OBO shipped for all of it. will separate if needed. Grill is all there. Small dent on the lower piece. some of the little pieces are broken but all are still attached. Located in Charlotte NC PM if interested or with an offer.

Not in the best condition but i figure someone here may want them. 14 inch 5X4in. Chrome Cragar S/S Wheels. Came off my dart. Thought i'd make them into some garage art but i don't have the space. 150 Bucks plus shipping? From Charlotte NC. PM if you're interested.

This came out of a 68 Dodge Dart. It has a new motor installed and rewire done. Was going to finish restoring the unit and install in the car but i'm now going another direction. Looking to get like 250-300 for it. Pm me if you're interested. I also have a Slant Six compressor and brackets...

i mostly hunt e-bay. Cts-v calipers i've found for 800 for all 4 corners. The rear rotors are megan racing 240sx oversize rotors. I'm just buying replacement rotors since they use the same bolt pattern and making my own brackets. But the cheaper i find the parts the better.

Awesome man. I think its great to see someone breaking out of the norm in any sport. If that's what you're comfortable with then absolutely go with it. Like I said before, I can't wait to see this thing drift.

That's a very good point. I could go with the expensive parts. But i enjoy trying to find economical solutions that most people can afford. im looking at about 500 bucks for the rear brakes, and about 800 on the front. That's about what most modern basic wilwood kits cost. Plus if fills out...

Updates?

X3 on the disc for the rear. As much as a hassle it may be, i believe you will have too many issues with consistency using drums on the car. While you may save a few bucks here and there with the drums, Overall the disc setup will be cheaper and more reliable. The 8.8 also has a huge aftermarket...

I'll have to get ahold of Dr. Diff then. And yeah it'll take some time to mock up, measure, and fab. But i believe the end result will be a reliable, powerful brake combination. Plus it'll sure help once the 440 falls between the fenders. Plus i plan to have plenty of tire to let the brakes...

more and more interesting learning on this end! really loving the wheels and brakes. Those front calipers are four pistons right? and i guess ill have to research more into what the difference is between the tapered and green bearings in terms of sideloading and rotational balance. i guess it...

i like that. What wheels are those? what don't you like about the green bearings? if you don't mind my asking. what hubs are you running up front?

Hyperballsmcgee i'd love to hear more on the suspension and steering plans you have. Also what are you doing for the rear brakes to get the slide started? Dual Calipers or just an inline master on a hydraulic lever?

just looking at what others have/ why/ and what they used to get there. Ive found a few things i wouldn't mind trying. The hesitation is that it will be more of a race oriented setup. I would love to make my car a race car but i also like the fact i can still get in and drive the car anytime. I...

That is interesting. Shouldn't be too hard to make work. But does anyone run bigger rear brakes? Any Racers?

i'll look into that. is the emergency brake cable as well?

yeah, i've found a ton of kits like that. they use a lincoln caliper on a mustang rotor i believe. it works. but i know a few people with these kits. The e-brakes are unreliable and the calipers have failed a few times.

thats pretty awesome. I have an 8 3/4 though. I know ill be making brackets already too. i just cant see spending wilwood prices if i know how to make these things.

How did you adapt these? What was the cost of this swap?
