    1 quick (dumb) gauge question

    If your '71 is like mine you will not have the round connector, but rather two flat connectors that push onto the pins at the back of the dash one on each side. The fuel and temp get their power/signal from being connected to the dash using nuts on the studs. The signal/power/ground is all...

    Slant Six vs. Small block ignition questions

    Alternatively, if you can stomach putting a GM part on, you can put in the electronic dizzy and then use a GM HEI module to run everything. Gets rid of the ballast resistor all together. Make sure to use a non ballast resistor dependant coil. I used an MSD Blaster 2 coil...

    is this the fuel level gauge I'm looking for?

    Typically from what I've seen you need the one that fits Mopar and Ford. Reads 73 ohm empty and 10 ohm full. Think I've got that the right way around. Cheers

    How hard would it be to put a cd player in my dart?

    If you are going to mount it where the original radio was then you have a bit of cutting to do. There are kits available that put the din type sleeve in the car so the CD will slip right in. The issue is what you want to do. Drop by a Circuit City or Best Buy or similar and look around at the...

    Driving lights

    If you do add them be sure to run them through relays. Can get them at most auto stores. Just a precaution that I always take. Super simple to hook them up that way and the switch and OE wiring harness does not see the load on them. Cheers

    Slant six alt.

    Looked up the alternator for your car at AZ. As typical, they show only 100 amp and a 65 amp so if there is a lower amperage one the case is the same as the 65 and them build all of them to 65 amp rating. Anyway, perhaps could narrow your choices down a bit by looking at least at these two...

    Factory fuse block replacement

    Just a note for those going with blade fuses. There was a post on the /6 board showing the cheaper blade type fuse kits. The ones purchased were made in China (perhaps they all are who knows) as I remember. The picture provided showed a kit from Harbor Freight. The issue was that the fuses...

    Moved That Battery To The Trunk

    I would say AdamR has the trick. When we ran ours we used 0 gauge cable to the back and for the grounds. Make sure all connections are very clean and well grounded. Make especially sure that the engine has a good clean ground as well. Really sounds like a resistance issue. I'm assuming...

    Is my alternator failing?

    Could be. I'd just pop it off and go have it bench tested. Most large chain auto stores will do that for you for free. Also, after buying my Dart, I read some of the posts on doing the amp meter wiring. Looking at the system and the potential problems I went ahead and did the modification...

    Ignition switch light

    Just thought I'd thank everyone on replies on this one again. While upside down under the dash figuring out how the brake light switch adjusts I looked up and did see that the black cylindrical thing right next to the emergency flasher does indeed have a lens on it. The lens was just pointing...

    Ignition switch light

    Thanks for the replies!!! I'll have to really look at it now. I have the emergency flasher switch part on the column and there is a piece right next to it. Not really that close to the ignition switch, but hey, if that is where it is then there you go. Not had chance to look at the...

    Sorry, should have put that! Car is a 1971 Dart Swinger.

    Ignition switch light

    Thanks for confirming. Been doing a search and as yet I've not found a picture of the light for the column on that year.

    Ignition switch light

    Thanks for the replies! I'm just going off reading what the decode says the car should have. I don't see a ring behind the ignition switch (on the column by the way) and the only thing I see on the column is an emergency flasher button (works) and right next to it is a black piece. What...

    Ignition switch light

    A question: The Dart I have decodes that it has the lighting package. The car does have a lamp in the glove box, one in the ashtray, a trunk light, but that is it. I suspect that the map light was taken out of the car as it has a dealer installed AC system and the big vent thing is in the...

    Mini Starter

    Just thought I'd post to one thank everyone on the board for posts on the smaller newer type starters, what years to look for etc. Have a '71 Dart that currently has a 225 slant 6 in it. Found a starter at the local self serve salvage yard off of a 1988 Dodge Diplomat with a 318. Looked...
