    Steering column seal

    Yes that is a different seal. I was talking about the firewall foam seal which would let in much more warm air if bad,

    Steering column seal

    As with anything there is the RIGHT way to do something and then there's a much easier way. You have to decide which you want to do. And there will be many people on this site that will be very critical whichever you decide! Obviously the right was is to pull the column. but the seal is foam...

    what rear seats will fit a 75 duster?

    You did not mention if your car has the fold down back seat, so I'll assume not. It uses a different back. Other than that, 70-76 Duster,71-72 Demon and 73-76 Dart Sport. The Swinger/Valiant style is different and the 4 door darts are different. I'll be bringing several to Carlisle. Good Luck!

    Remove complete dash?

    WHY THE HELL CAN'T YOU MULTIQUOTE with the "new improved" SOFTWARE!!!!!!! First of all, if you remove the instrument cluster and perhaps the radio and glove box, that will give you LOTS of working room. I would NOT remove the dash frame unless you want to refinish / modify it, but if you do...

    Remove complete dash?

    You have to remove the windshield. After that, it's pretty straightforward. There are 5 3/8 head bolts along the top of the dash that are exposed once the lower windshield gasket is removed. It is also helpful to remove the 3 bolts that hold the steering column to the floorboard AND the three...

    What is this part?

    Oh well..I wanted to make certain I wasn't throwing an expensive part on the scrap aluminum pile! It looked like it was bent to replace the gauge panel or the glove box door :) Thanks!

    What is this part?

    Can you identify this panel? I got this in a box of parts with a Dart I recently picked up. Is it a dash filler? Like if you don't want to use the factory speedometer? Or is it a body patch panel? The part is aluminum. It is marked "Dart" and what looks like "AMD" Also, if you know what it...

    has anyone adapted a fold down rear seat into a car that didn't have one?

    A friend of mine has a 71 Demon with old ratty bench seats. We just got a 74 Duster parts car with fresh bucket seat upholstery, but it has a fold down rear seat. We're looking for advice from anyone who has done it or seriously contemplated it. What surprises would lurk if a person were to...

    Bench Seat Column Shift Vs Bucket Console Shift

    The 68 road runner only came with a bench seat because a bench is MUCH lighter than two buckets and a console.

    help removing instr. cluster

    I'm 6'1" and close to 300 and the seat removal trick is the best advice here. Drop the three bolts that hold the column to the dash and the three that bolt it to the floor and let it fall down. You don't have to take it all the way out but it does need to be down to let the gauge cluster out...

    Console shifter pivot brackets - Info

    I used to think that there was a difference between the 904 and 727 but it appears I've been wrong on this for most of my life. My recent research shows that it may be that one bracket is used for all "ball type" shifters (66-76 A body, 66-70 B body and 70 E body) and one bracket for the "T"...

    71 dart interior fitment question

    The trunk lid will fit although the 73 up used a different lock cylinder configuration so you will have to use the 74 lock cylinder. The front bench will bolt in (you may have to use the right seat track from the 71 because the later model floors changed a little to accomodate a converter. This...

    How does the bench come out?

    Sometimes it's a pain to get the seatbelts back through the bench so you might have to unbolt them. There are two seat belt bolts on the tunnel (inside the car) and one on each rocker (inside the car)
