    67 dart windshield trim/seal?

    Find a Steele rubber dealer near you. If you can't try Rob's Rod Shop in Downingtown PA. My undersatanding is Steele was reproducing the '67 windshield weatherstrips. They also make '68 type. For the plastic lockstrips, might have to go to one of the big catalog stores like Year One or maybe...

    1967 vent/wing window adjustment.

    '67 has some unique window attachment. I recall a thread a few years ago but IIRC the mystery was not solved.

    Have you ever seen any Dart, Valiant, Demon or Duster with a rear window defroster?

    Well to each their own. Even down here we get to play in the snow once in while. And it brightens up otherwise gray winters. Then for for those further north, there's ice racing, skating to work on the river (eh), fishing, skiing, snowshoe, etc etc. I think there's a hockey player or...

    Who knows Wipers and refills? Especially originals

    TRICO BLADES and REFILLS Since this came up in another thread. The 1967 parts books only list ANCO blades for A-bodies, but B-bodies could get ANCO or TRICO Blades. The ANCO blades are described as Double Bridge and the TRICO as Single Bridge. In 1968, 1969 and other years (you'll have to...

    Who knows Wipers and refills? Especially originals

    Engine Bay

    I had some Dupont acrylic lacquer from some time back and used it with an airbrush for touch up. The most difficult part was finding the matching thinner to use with it. Then made some test and practice examples. The engine bay had already been painted in the past so I also made some tests...

    Engine Bay

    See what the experienced paint guys say. How well it will hold up depends on how well its prepped and the type of paint it was last sprayed with. In the photo, the paint looks pretty good and matches the rest of the body. I'd clean it and leave it unless there are problem spots. Disadvantage of...

    Trying to find these clips

    They come in a wide variety of sizes. An industrial supply house like McMaster will give a better idea of the sizes and shapes available. Also a clips and fastener specialty houses such as Fastenal, or in Auveco (clips and fasteners.com) or Restoration Specialty Supplies catalog (maybe the...

    Can someone help decode this body code plate

    My recollection is that the 67 Shop manual has all the basic info for body line and maybe engine in the first pages. Option codes often match with the sales code info, generously collected and posted in the Hamtramck Historical digital Library. Body info is in the shop manual. Off the top of...

    1973 Dart headlight aiming diagram

    That is correct. I recall it as 40/40 but maybe that was the much earlier lamps. This Wagner catalog lists them as 40/50 Watt. The * indicates they are just listed for reference. 6014 was a common replacement. 50/60 Watt Chrysler started using 6014 bulbs in 1973. H6024 which came later are...

    1973 Dart headlight aiming diagram

    Glad you found it. It's 25' headlight to wall. Its probably similar or same as earlier years. I think this is from my '68 Plymouth FSM. High beam adjustment is only for 4 lamp systems. If you've switched headlamps to a different pattern, such as ECU, then its a little different. Dan...

    Windshield trim for 67 Dart

    '67 cars used brite-lock plastic that snaps into the rubber windshield seal, locking it in place. The stainless steel corners slide onto the brite-lock. Its reproduced and the front windshield isn't too difficult to install. Mitchells (now sold to someone else), and Year One are two places I...

    Help me stop the windshield wipers coming on at 80mph

    I'd think the diagnosis should start with someone looking underneath at the linkage while another person gently tries to lift the wiper arms up. If the linkage moves the shaft of the driving crank, then you've narrowed the issue down to the motor and output gear. Then identify which type of...

    Factory ANCO blades with the aero wings should help too. All '67 A-bodies got them.

    Laquer over rattle Can Primer?

    I *think* Rustoleum's rusty metal primer and some of their other primers are an alkyd. The laquer may not lift that once fully cured. Do a test spot. If it works, maybe get a nicer finish by doing the rattle can now, but before finish coat hit it with a sandable primer. Use that to get a...

    1967 barracuda windshield trim help

    If you want to stay with the '67 lockstrip for the rear you can buy them from YO and probably other venders. Then gently heat and shape the ones for the curved section. Hair dryer or heat gun with low heat settings and lots of patience. I did it years ago and got one perfect, broke the other...

    Dart window felts anyone replace these?

    Way back in the dark ages I bought a couple different sets of so-called reproduction cat wiskers for my '67 notchback. Not really good repops at all. I saw in Restoration Specialty Supply's catalog they had the correct profiles. Called them up and we made a deal. I sent them my originals and...

    Who knows Wipers and refills? Especially originals

    Comparison and Review of OER's K164R Wiper Refills: The Good: They fit and at least in this afternoon's light rain, they worked well. The Ugly: They are ugly when compared to an Anco 12-15. But few people will look this close and you get to keep the cool push button blades your car came with...

    67 Plymouth Barracuda rear window gasket

    Check into Steele Rubber. They make the rubber gaskets and I'm pretty sure they make the '67 only gaskets. For the plastic lockstrips, I'm not sure who makes it, but several venders have the stuff. You will have to gently heat and bend them for the curved sections. Cross section and corner...

    Wiper Blades

    This is one of those tidbits that not many people on the internet forums seem to know a lot about. No idea why. There are many posts about the right shade of engine color or correct air cleaner, but not much on original wipers and blades. I've only looked at Chrysler part books 67 through...

    Wiper linkage questions 67-9 cuda

    My fault. With repsect to the link I was only referring to '67. Saw this and looked in the '67 parts book (revision printed Jan 1968 ) So it seems like the above linkage parts are the same for 67 moodel year regardless of motor. I don't fully trust the parts book on the wiper info because...

    Wiper linkage questions 67-9 cuda
