When I bought the Dart GT the previous owner told me it was a 3.23:1 sure-grip (in the 8 3/4" rear-end). The gear set axle tag is long gone. The car has P215/75R14 tires on the rear. At 70 MPH the engine is turning ~3400 RPM. According to online calculators I come up with 3.73 gears. Does...

I'm having the the rear glass' gasket (as well as a new front windshield and gasket) replaced by a local shop. The shop's owner quoted me a price but said it may be slightly more if the back glass is glued in. I thought the gasket was the only thing holding the back glass in. Were they ever...

My buddy has a 1963 Dodge 440 (with a 383). He has asked me to help him with the Mad Electrical ammeter bypass. So, I'd like to get some things prepared prior to the job. What size are the studs on the factory ammeter? My '71 Dart GT has #10 studs on the ammeter. Would the '63 440 be the same...

I've always loved the V21 option (hood, scoops & cowl paint treatment) on the '70-'72 Darts. I had a friend add the V21 option to my car using "gloss black" paint. I know the purists won't like it, but I think it turned out great!

My '71 Dart GT had the factory installed body side moldings that were removed by one of the previous owners. The previous previous owner had the car repainted and added the "glue on" body side moldings again. I'd like to add the '70 style gloss black tail stripe, but I'm afraid it'll look...

Does anyone know what the thread size is for the spare tire hold down bolt/rod? This is for my '71 Dart GT (I assume all other A-Body share this(?)).

I think I've convinced myself to add a gloss black butt stripe to my '71 GT. Unfortunately, I'll have to keep the "stick on" body side molding as well (whoever removed the original molding and "filled" the holes did not do a very good job). So I'll need to peel it back a bit, put the stripe...

Got a buddy looking at a '67 Dart. He'd like to know if a '69 hood will bolt on. Does anyone know if the '69 hood will bolt on to the '67?

Can someone please measure the height of the "340" emblem on their twin scoop car? I'm thinking of having some "318" decals made for my twin scoops (the car will probably always be a 318 (2 kids in college blah, blah, blah...)) and I'd like to mimic the "340" emblems. Thanks for your help!

Found member mike mahl's 71 Swinger for sale post. Looking through the photos I came across the open trunk picture. What is it (yellow arrow)? I've seen it on a few cars. Is it a '71 only item? Swinger only? I assume fuel tank related? Please enlighten me.

I purchased a used Federal power steering pump from a FABO member, TQFastFish. UPS sent me a notification, Sunday, that it was to be delivered Monday. I got home from work expecting to see the package. Not there. UPS said it was delivered at 11:37AM. BUMMED!!

Does anyone know what font or text style Chrysler used for the 340 numbers?

I have personally seen a 1969 & a 1970 Dart with a painted (from the factory) roof. The '69 was a B7 Blue roof over B5 Blue body. The '70 was ? Black roof over ? Orange body. Both of these cars have, what appears to be, the same chrome trim separating the roof/body just like a vinyl top car...

The question is can the driver's side door hinges be removed without taking the front fender off? My driver's side door striker pin had busted loose when the previous previous owner (Mike) had the car. The ppo (Mike) did a quick weld the pin to the jamb and shimmed out the bottom hinge. The...

Has anyone installed these in a '70-'72 with the factory console? Please provide any/all details. Thanks!

Going to install the LD4B intake manifold and Performer 600 4-bbl carburetor on my stone stock '71 318 Dart GT (auto, 3.23:1 8 3/4" sure-grip, 2 1/4" duals with factory exhaust manifolds) soon. Stopped by the auto parts store for a couple of things, one of which is a new thermostat. The...

Where can I get the double-sided foam tape used to hold on the body side moldings? I had a piece get removed (yanked) from my passenger front fender several months ago and would like to re-install it. Thanks for any advice.

My buddy has a '65 A100 pick-up with a 360 and automatic transmission. We swapped intake manifolds (from single-plane (Torker 340) to dual-plane (Performer)). He also added a 1/2" spacer between the intake and carburetor. Anyway, while the truck was being worked on he thought he should...

Helping a buddy swap an Edelbrock aluminum intake onto his 360. How many ft/lbs of torque for the 12 mounting bolts? I assume we should start at the center and work our way across and out as well (like tightening lug nuts on a wheel).

it was at the CEMA show, in Auburn Hills, MI, this past Saturday. Has an Ontario plate "DART3404". It is beautiful! 1970, 340, 4-speed, 8 3/4" rear-end, 15" Rallyes, Twin hood scoops, Bumble-Bee tail stripe, etc... I made several visits to the car to try and talk with the owner, but never...

I'm considering some updates/modifications to the 318 in my '71 Dart GT (with A904, MP electronic ignition (orange box), dual exhaust (factory manifolds, FlowMaster 40s, and 2 1/4" pipes to the rear bumper), 3.23:1 sure-grip 8 3/4" rear end). I've got an Edelbrock LD4B intake manifold and an...

Was at the WPC swap meet yesterday. Saw a guy with an Edelbrock LD4B intake manifold in a box under his table. I asked him if it was for sale. He replied with a "no". Told me it was an extremely rare LD4B that was specific to the W2 heads. I replied with a "huh?". As far as I know the...

Why does the factory use low stall speed torque convertors (say 1600 rpm)? And why do performance applications require/desire the use of a higher stall convertor (say 2600 rpm)? Does the stall speed rpm indicate when the vehicle begins to move? If yes, then the performance application...

As the title suggests, what makes a motor a wedge motor? Is it based on the V-design? Head seign? Any cubic inch displacement minimum/maximum limits? Also, what is and what makes the 318-Poly a Poly? It's early, and inquiring minds need to know. Thanks

I know there is the Lokar & Bouchillon, now I discover the XV MotorSports type. Has anyone used it? How does it compare to the Lokar or Bouchillon? Of the 3 which would/do you prefer? Why?
