So, all this time I thought my Demon was an AC car, with some weird small blower motor, but I have been told it was a non-air car. What the heck are the two other holes for? Many thanks to Tony DeFeo here on the forum, I now have all of the parts to upgrade to some AC, except the bezel for the...

Got a few minutes to work on the Dart today, replacing the kaput headlight switch, when I got the shock of the day. Taped to the turn signal harness, with black cloth tape, up under the dash, was part of the build sheet. It is just the top of the page with a partial VIN, but I never knew they...

Another quick update. Got the dash back in, and thanks to FABO, I found the correct length speedometer cable (instead or the 80" long universal junk) from NAPA. The part number is BK 6151659 and it was 68" long with the correct ends. I also found the tach wiring, the long terminal (silver) gets...

I got to take Paymon on a test drive today, no serious issues other than the brake pedal height. The power brakes work fine, but the pedal is a good 2-3 inches from its stop. When I pull it up, the rod comes out of the booster. Am wondering if I have the right length rod in here, two boosters...

Do the rally dashes not have a regulator on them? Here is a pic of mine, is anything missing?

No problem at all, glad to help. Might be a week or two, I am slammed with work and trying to keep up with demand. Tj

Notice the bbp wheels all around? Dr. Diff axles in the rear, perfect fit too. Engine is a mild 318 with J heads, LD340, and 650 Holley. Will start on one of those 340's I got very soon, enjoying a thread about one that was built cheap with magnum heads, might do that!. Tj

Not much time with the Dart, been busy with the Demon, but I did find out why it was quickly overheating when we start it. We could not get the water to circulate no matter what, even under pressure at the thermostat housing, water wouldn't go through the motor. Apparently, some of our local...

Thanks, hope I can! Demon is now running and in the home stretch of being my DD. Found out the rally dash is a non-AC part, and my Demon had air, so I'm stuck with it at the moment, AC bezel is nearly $500 with shipping... Calling BEA today to get a dash pad, speedo cable, headlight switch, and...

Madonna (like a virgin) still sits in the driveway while I focus on my 71 Demon 340 build. The Demon has been one setback after another, and I may have to sacrifice Madonna to get the parts I need. :-(

FMJ disc brake upgrade completed, though it was definitely not a bolt-in like the magazines and websites claimed it was. Engine is now running well, slapped an LD340 intake on top along with a secondhand Holley DP that I picked up. Suregrip rear has 3.23 tag on it, and I picked up some bbp axles...

That is the only rust on the entire car, floor pans are perfect, even the rear quarters behind the wheels is solid. I haven't had any time to work on it in several days, she's sitting in the driveway with plastic trash bags taped over her spots, and this week isn't looking good either... :-(...

Well I got the rest of the vinyl roof off, and the pictures above show the cancer. I will end up having to do the repairs in stages, just not enough money to do two cars at once. Ordered all new wiring under the hood from Bill Evans at evanswiring.com today, and picked up a nice carb from...

Thanks rlevs! Jeff, no rush my friend, I got married and just returned from my honeymoon, so I'm just getting started on the car. Thanks!! Tj

Sorry jmarshall97, thats not it, wish it was! c-pillar panels are apparently not being made, so looks like I'll be improvising. Its funny though, AMD makes the filler panel between the trunk and back glass, but not the corners where the roof, glass, and fender all meet, a major problem area on...

Got the raggedy old vinyl top off today, and drove the swinger around the yard. Need to fix the rust holes in the C-pillars ASAP. I haven't found anyone that makes patch panels, so I guess I'll have to make them from scratch or fill the holes with bondo.

Thanks everyone, I should have her on the road by this weekend. I do have a second 340 in the carport, a clone wouldf be cool. Jeff, you rock man! Sending you a PM now. Tommy J.

Got her started, need to replace water pump, thermostat, exhaust donut, and some vacuum lines.

The cancer...

Just got it started!
