I'll just figure it out. My wagon spare is a big bolt circle 14" mopar wheel. When I take the stands out I'll be able to get to the spare and check fit. Why do we do this stuff?

Oh rats!! I didn't know about 13 inch wheels having smaller poverty caps. Any old poverty caps are sorta rare so I have an additional hunt coming up. I much prefer steel wheels with original caps. I disliked poverty caps when I was a kid. Spinner wheel covers were the hot items in the...

Thanks for the info on poverty cap diameters. The caps that came on mmy Dart were on the13 inch wheels and look small to me, but I've been looking at the poverty caps on my Ford wheels. I'm going to try my poverty caps on the ford wheels. Not optimistic. I have many Chevy poverty caps that...

I just ordered studs that are .005 larger knurl diameter, 3 inch length. Sounds like I may not need to shorten them to clear my dog dish caps. Another time that this site has been very helpful. Thanks all, Jerry

Thanks for the response. The stud did not protrude at all. With the nut tightened on the wheel I could look into the nut and see three to five threads. This bothers me. My idea is to get new studs of the correct, or at least close, knurl diameter. The stud I removed from the rotor measures...

Thanks, I'll go for it! Jerry

3 or 4 years ago I installed a disc brake kit on my '63 Dart Wagon, /6 and three on the column. The rotors are about 11/16 thick at the stud mounting point and with steel wheels the stud threads extend well under an inch from the wheel mounting surface. With the steelwheel (14x6 from a Ford...

Thanks 72. That chart deserves to be copied and put in my Mopar info stash. Jerry

Thanks 72blu. It does appear that there is some other problem that I hope I find with the car in the air. If nothing is obvious to me it'll be time for younger eyes. I turn 77 this month and I notice some low-light issues and body creaking these days. Jerry

When I had the alignment done, three or four years ago, the tech told me he got a bit over one degree of positive caster, so it sounds like I'll be getting the tires off the ground to find how that feels. I'm not a front end tech and I appreciate the onfo about the tires raising the car on...

Brake hoses are plenty long. I did the frontend work shortly after obtainig the car. It's going to be in the air soon. Thanks guys

"63 Dart wagon manual steering. When trying to turn to the left or right lock, the effort required seems to quickly increase--a lot. It has been a few years since I rebuilt the front susension and steering and I'm not familiar with the details that front end guys know. I did install disc...

Searching old posts doesn’t answer my question. Will 7 1/4 Ring and pinion sets swap between early, (1963-1972) and late (1973-76)? If so, are there any “gotchas” to worry about? My ‘66 Dart AT has 2.76 and is a slug. My ‘63 Dart wagon three/tree SBP is just perfect with 3.23. Hoping to put...
