    3,400 mile road trip in 73 swinger

    Awesome, you will love RT66. I did the entire thing from Chicago to Santa Monica in my 1968 Dart GT (273/904/7.25" w/2.93 gears) and loved every bit of it. The car is all original, so after checking the major systems, it was mainly a leap of faith as well. I too packed a ton of clothes, parts...

    Need help finding a 727 builder

    Hi everyone, I need a little assistance finding a man located in Ephrata, PA. I bought a rear end from him long ago and was extremely pleased. I would like for him to rebuild my 727 but I lost his contact information. There's very little to go off of here I know, but I figure if he's popular...

    harmonic balancer interchange?

    Thanks. I have a 65 273 as well I could pluck from but its buried in the corner of my garage and much harder to get to. Maybe itll motivate me to finally clean.

    harmonic balancer interchange?

    I have a 66 273 commando in need of a harmonic balancer and was wondering if one from an 83 318 would work. If not, what are the differences. Thanks for the help.

    Ld340 intake holes

    Yes there is a hole on both sides and they make muffled exhaust sounds. It's strange but the drivers side sucks air in whereas the passenger side blows air out. The holes are blackened with soot so there's no doubt something is going on. And they are hot as he'll to touch. When temporarily...

    Ld340 intake holes

    I have a strong hunch they are all the way through because I feel a suction on one side which I am assuming to be the intake vacuum and this would explain a hell of a lot. I will confirm this and have them tapped and plugged anyway.

    Ld340 intake holes

    http://s117.photobucket.com/user/djmdragracing/media/ld340.jpg.html This picture is representative and I borrowed it from a google search. This is not my photo. I am referring to the hole on either side of the intake below the carb base in the middle. Disregard the arrow in the picture. That...

    Anyone gone cross-country on Route 66?

    Its funny seeing this as I was recently seriously considering this trip. I live in md, so I wanted to do from oc to st louis tolos angeles in my 68 dart gt using 66 when I got to chicago, but I opted to get all my projects done first and do this later when I can plan a little better and bring a...

    Fuel gauge accuracy

    Ok I have researched the topic, but I have a few lingering questions. I know that the ohms should read 10 full and 73 or so empty for mopars. My gauge shoots to full when grounded, so everything forward the sending unit is good to go. Will wiring in resistors from RadioShack help? And how...

    Demon questions

    I always wanted to clear up some questions about the 71 340 demons. 1. Did all 340 demons in 71 have the rally cluster, dual scoops, stripes (on side, tail panel, hood), rear wing, and 727 with 8 3/4? 2. I'm assuming the 727 with 8 3/4 were standard for all 340s, but just wondering...

    68 GTS won't stay running

    There's no spark from coil immediately after dying. Something is not operating after warming up.

    68 GTS won't stay running

    Single plane weiand accelerator with a holley dp 600 cfm. Replaced with single feed 600 cfm. Old one leaked everywhere and fixed upon rebuilding but wanted to rule out warped blocks. Going to go back to dp because for some reason when it is running I can't get rid of a horrible lean spot. It was...

    68 GTS won't stay running

    I will try that. All grounds look ok to me visually. Even scuffed me up and reconnected. Gap is .008" rechecked. I will buy p5153576 and see if that works. The ecu and coil do not get warm to the touch. I don't have testers to check specifically ohms or resistance so I'm just gonna keep...

    68 GTS won't stay running

    Replaced pump, still does it. Here is a list of everything replaced: Carb Filter Pump Coil Spark plugs Wires Checked tank and sending unit Voltage regulator Ballast resistor I can conclude fuel is not the issue. Could it be the magnetic pick up in the distributor or the ecu? The ecu was...

    68 GTS won't stay running

    Sometimes the second try but most times it's a while. 15-30 min before it'll want to go again. Also, immediately after dying, I checked for spark with the key in the ignition, not jumpering it and it gave plenty of strong spark. They told me Monday for the new pump, so I guess I'll give it a...

    68 GTS won't stay running

    Ok I saw the filler neck has a vent tube attached, but the bottom half is not there. Maybe it rusted off and fell and was plugged at the tank some time ago before I acquired the car. Will there be any adverse effects with no vent tube? I did have a vacuum gauge on the car and was reading very...

    68 GTS won't stay running

    Some updates, the gas tank is completely clean with zero rust. A shocker, but true. Did not test the fuel pump because when I saw this i assumed its bad. Will replace that tomorrow. Also realized my fuel gauge is completely wrong. It was registering empty with a half tank. I always thought...

    68 GTS won't stay running

    Thanks for all the replies. Lots of fresh ideas to work with. To the best of my knowledge, the electronic ignition in the car now resembles a mid 70s electronic ignition setup, so not sure if someone had used a donor car and swapped it all over. It looks like a dual ballast on there. I have...

    68 GTS won't stay running

    Hi guys. I'm new here and in desperate need of help with my dart GTS. It has a 340, 727, 8 3/4 with 3.55. It was a fantastic running car but now for some reason it won't stay running especially after it has warmed up. I am at a total loss. I put a new battery, voltage regulator, coil, spark...
