    Noisy Speedometer

    I have found crap stuck in between the magnet and the drive mechanism inside the speedo causing erratic noisy operation as well. Little bits of metal were inside mine ! After cleaning it worked perfectly.

    salvage run

    The fenders are the same length - as far as I can tell. How to tell them apart ? I'd guess the headlight door areas should be a clue. Look for name call outs on the side as well, duster, dart, swinger, valiant etc. I think the plymouths had different headlight doors vs the darts, the body ID tag...

    How to strip chrome?

    No offense intended. I think Badawg has it reversed, acid into water. Trust me, I have a degree in chemistry. You want the acid to cool, and it will, when added to water. If you add water to acid it can get very hot and spatter, especially if its really concentrated like 6 molar Hydrochloric...

    what is the best paint

    FYI - Imron uses HDI biuret chemistry which is good, but actually a base clear system - using a mix of IPDI trimer and HDI trimer is better - used in the clear coat. You can buy knock off systems of the big boys from Transtar and Matrix for less $ and equal performance. I work in this industry...

    Good paint brands that won't break the bank

    Try Transtar or Matrix products, both are the same chemically as the top line materials from PPG, Sikkens Dupont etc. without the name brand price. I know because we sell the same materials to all of them. In addition the chemists at these companies all know what each others formulas are and...

    Dart Sport tail light trim

    These were the hardest parts to find for my 73 sport - I lucked out and found half of my set in a New Mexico boneyard. The other half are NOS. Almost all the used ones I ever set eyes on were pitted worse than what I replaced. Good hunting !

    cowl rust problems.

    Thats a sucky problem you have there. As stated above you can close it off but you wont have any fresh air ducting and your heater wont work well. Any chance to locate good used pieces and install them ? Sounds like work i know - but it might be worth considering if your car is valuable...

    Vinyl top troubles...

    Theres a special tool used for removing the trim, try a body shop supply house for one, kind of a triangular shaped thingie. For removing the glue - you will have to experiment with solvents. I'd start with mineral spirits since its not too aggressive a solvent - easier on the paint. If that...

    What are these???

    Correct about the osac valve - the round one was for another emissions device that was used on California models - an addition to the osac valve if I remember correctly. What I did on my 73 was make a nice plate to cover up the osac spot out of Aluminum, painted it and the round cover and put...

    73 Dart Sport - What kind of gaskets go around the taillights?

    Let me know if you have any more questions. I have a 73 340 dart sport B3 ext B5 gut, folding rear seat, 4spd that I completely restored. They are pretty simple cars like any of the A bodies. The only really odd thing about these cars and their duster counterparts are the tail light assemblies...

    73 Dart Sport - What kind of gaskets go around the taillights?

    Regarding the bezel sealing, originally mopar used a white foam gasket that surrounded the bezel studs, about an inch or so in diameter. This is much like the stuff used on firewalls for the steering column and master cylinder, where they connect or protrude through the firewall. Hope this helps.

    73 Dart Sport - What kind of gaskets go around the taillights?

    The gaskets used on the tailights are foam, what type Im not sure, some sort of closed cell polyethlyene I think. They come attached to new lenses, which is what I used on mine. If you have none, use some type of foam, just as long as it is weatherable and closed cell, and moderate density. I...
