    finally took some pics but been thinking bout selling the dart

    thanks cudamark. i guess this is the learning process as i am not sure why someone would want antiquated stuff like extremely sagged leaf springs and a broken power steering box just to preserve originality? not being sarcastic at all. my theory has salways been if i cant use something, i...

    finally took some pics but been thinking bout selling the dart

    thanks all and no offense taken at the "less optimistic" values. i am a realist and understand that i am most likely not going to get all the cash back. esp amongst those who know their MOPARS - and i am not into trying to swindle anyone. May i ask what appears to not be original? My intent...

    finally took some pics but been thinking bout selling the dart

    sorry duh - i didnt list what i'd done: mildly warmed-up 318 with edelbrock carb and intake, summit headers. also have the original complete /6 drivetrain that is in perfect working order. i swapped the drivetrain last summer for a more muscle car style and kept the /6 setup in a clean and dry...

    finally took some pics but been thinking bout selling the dart

    well i just dont know what to do. i like the Dart and am proud of my work with it. because i only got into cars about 5 or so years ago and so i never had a single car that i HAD to have. but since then i have been leaning towards a mid 50's-early 60's pickup but i can't have both. i have...

    just got 67 dart gt back from the mechanic and am very happy

    as i got into the whole classic/muscle car game later in life at 35 and had never as much replaced a battery cable, i wanted someone who knows much more than i do to go over the car before summer driving season. over the pasts 6 months i learned a tremendous amount about cars, patience...

    how bad is winter for an old car?

    i know that sound extremely dumb to ask. but here's my scenario, i have a good sized garage that can hold 1 car plus all my tools etc but with the car in it, i can't work on anything but that car. i have a few projects going on and i am thinking of getting one of those "car tent" things to...

    LOTS DONE!! many thanks to FABO

    well on my way in a few to drop off the Dart for an alignment spent the better half of 4 months learning a lot about the car and MOPARS in general. i'll post pics in a bit but : started with a 67 dodge dart gt grocery getter /6 ended with: mildly warmed up 318 with (supposedly) 360...

    SHE RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! many thanks to FABO!

    well my bud came over last night and in under 3 hours we had the wiring sorted. i traced a short to the wires on the column - when i had put the col back in after swapping in the 318 and all its bits i must have torn the wiring as the red wire was torn a bit. fixed that and we finally had juice...

    Who here is into bikes??? Just got my first one

    and another dumb question - edlebrock manifold hose

    there is a fat hose on the back of the manifold that i am not sure where it goes. its not the vaccuum for the booster brakes - much larger than that. maybe something about water pump or something?

    PLS HELP! - running into issues with /6 to 318 conversion

    well beyond the many brainless wonders i have done, i am now thoroughly confused. between trying to assemble the 67's /6 points wiring to the 318 elec ignition, and figuring out how to hook up all the throttle lines and vaccuum hoses, and the trans adjustment, i am lost. also the 67 is a floor...

    Do you ever get discouraged with your Mopar?

    if I can do these things, literally ANYONE can!! see my posts - many are pepperred with curses - i am a short bald sicilian so wrenches and curses get tossed easily. too easily and its something i need to work on. BUT i am persistent and ask millions of questions and learn a lot along the...

    oh geez - major gas spill on driveway - will it ignite?

    i know it sounds rediculous, but my wife is coming back with the baby after 4 days away. i walked the dog this morning and smelled gas and looked at the dart - somehow the fuel line was below the tank or something so gravity did its magic and ther is a huge gas stain on what used to be the...

    parting out a 76 dart swinger

    hey guys - sorry i wasn't better in outlining my post earlier. i am doing the /6 to V8 swap in my 67 so i will be using the k-frame and all its components as well as the radiator. fortunately it looks to be a brand new one as well as the battery and a lot of the small items. is there any...

    parting out a 76 dart swinger

    well i picked up the 76 on saturday. sold an old bike i had and did some freelance website work, so all in all this car will end up costing me about $200 which makes me happy. i am going to start the dismantling process. i know i will be using the complete driveline, k-frame, maybe the...

    seat of the pants difference between /6 and a 318

    hey everyone well i think i am going to grab the 76 dart swinger donor car for a couple reasons. it's fairly cheap at 750 and i should end up with enough parts between it and my 67 to get the disks and all that stuff onto my 67 and finish up a lot of the missing bits for the 53 pilothouse...

    came upon a 76 dart donor car w/ 318

    it is a dart swinger model - doe sthat change anything? my 67 is a dart GT. i also have a 53 dodge pilothouse that needs seats and a driveline and the 318 or the /6 could work on this - plus i already did a disc brake conversion on it. so for 750 i could have almost all the parts i need to...

    came upon a 76 dart donor car w/ 318

    well i offered the guy 500 for the 76 swinger and he countered with 750 which i think seems pretty fair. now i just need some help in determining if this is a wise move. currently my 67 really doesnt need much other than seat covers and a headliner and a new exhaust. starts and runs good...

    came upon a 76 dart donor car w/ 318

    cool thanks Grumpus. so i t seems like the 76 has a bunch of possibly useable parts. the 67 is already a daily driver so i'd prob be about ready to do the stuff pretty soon - well winter time anyway.
