    Your favorite rear end/final drive ratio and why?

    @SleeperDart505 Check out this transmission crossmember offered by US Car Tool LLC (USCTAM2016-67-75 A-Body GM2004R Crossmember Kit). This item wasn't available when I had my chassis work done.

    Your favorite rear end/final drive ratio and why?

    @SleeperDart505 I had my 200-4R OD trans built by Extreme Automatics located in Amelia, OH. It was built several years ago so I suggest you check with them on current pricing for how you want your tranny built. I had them remove the existing factory GM bellhousing from the 200-4R and...

    Jay Leno Showing The GTS Dart Some Love

    Hey Dartswinger70, I felt the same way when my '69 Dart first went to the paint shop. I sure hope your experience is much better than mine was. Five paint shops and almost 4 years later, mine finally was finished in paint and back home in my garage...a painted shell now needing complete reassembly.

    Jay Leno Showing The GTS Dart Some Love

    Thanks for posting! I loved Jay's comment, "You have to stick your hand out the window to adjust the mirror, as God intended." I've loved this style Dart body since the original '69 340 Swinger I bought used back in very early 1970. I was so stupid to sell it years ago during a minor financial...

    "Little different" GTX

    Thanks for posting. I like it...because it's different. Not cookie cutter or a belly button car. Isn't that why we're all into Mopars anyway? Gotta be different!

    If money ( and storage space ) was no object…

    I'd be happy with just a few... * Finish my current '69 Dart project * An all-black '69 Dodge Daytona * ...and as long as I'm dreaming, I'd have to have a '57 Chevy Nomad just to cruise PCH along the SoCal beaches

    Your favorite rear end/final drive ratio and why?

    As said in an earlier post, rear gearing is application dependent. My current '69 Dart build is going to be a weekend car, not a daily driver. It's based on a 380-horse 360 crate motor that I plan to modify a bit to get over 400hp out of it. Since it's going to be more 'toy' than anything I'm...

    Tires for 14 RAM Big Horn - 275/60/R20

    My current set of tires for my '09 Ram 1500 are made-in-the-USA Coopers. Happy with them so far. They seem to have better wet traction than the Goodyears that were on the truck when I bought it (used) several years ago. I had to 'baby' the Goodyears in wet conditions when starting up from a...

    Marker light 69 dart

    '69 Mopars didn't have side marker lights. They were reflectors - one year only. .

    Swing me! A 1969 Dart Swinger 340 4speed in Austria, Europe

    Great story! My first Mopar was a '69 Dart Swinger that I bought used in November of 1969. Just like yours except mine had a 727 auto trans and was R4 red with a white stripe. I missed it after I sold it and ultimately picked up another '69 Dart that is hopefully going to be finished and back on...

    Need some purchasing advice

    Hey there - You asked for thoughts on the best OD tranny. Check out the threads on FABO regarding using a GM 200-4R trans behind a small block Mopar. That's what I'm using. It fits an A-body trans tunnel without surgery to the tunnel and provides both a better gear spread and OD ratio than a...

    Shipping a car across country?

    Whether it's a "cool old car" or Grandpa's Caddy, both you and your boy will still have the priceless memories of your cross-country drive. If it was me, I'd book the flight for me and my son and not give it a second thought. Make the drive back home, take off-the-interstate routes whenever you...

    Latest part in the 3D print lineup

    I especially like the fratzog, and was going to suggest that in my earlier reply, but it would be limited to Dodge only. That's not a problem with my '69 Dart! Price?

    @my68barracuda, Thanks for the helpful info! Is this for a factory-type stamped sheet metal valve cover? Or will it also work in a cast aluminum valve cover?
