74 Dart Swinger
The air filter is an Edelbrock, Pro-Flow, 14inch that we got from Auto Zone. The cost was $34.99. However we did have to buy an adaptor so it would fit the small 2-barrel carb. It was a Spectre Air Cleaner Riser & Adapter Kit, cost was $8.99 and the part number is 228335, also from Auto Zone.
That Dart at the dealership does look alot like ours. I was decoding some of the build sheet we found last night. Our cars color is Avecado Gold Irid, (iridescent?). I've also seen it called Avecado Gold Poly. Either way I say it is what we would call "metallic" today.
I have yet to get under the car and measure the transmissions dimensions, but I'm willing to bet it's a 904. This picture of the rear end would seem to confirm that it's a 7.25 rear. My build sheet shows the following numbers under the corresponding vehicle parts;
engine- 509
carb- 30
trans- 843
axle- 276
Can anyone tell me what these mean or direct me to where I can easily decode this build sheet? By the way, in the picture you'll see the Thrush Turbo exhaust we installed to the left. This is an aluminum bodied muffler. One back fire when we had a bad ignition module caused the swell and crimp in the side and ends of this muffler. It still sounds OK, but I believe we'll eventually replace it with a Flowmaster this spring when we run duals to the rear. Are there any other recommendations out there? We plan on keeping the stock exhaust manifolds and go with a single muffler that will split in to two tips. The tips we plan to use will be replica Dart items with the square openings. These will best go with the "square" lines of the rear end and look as original / stock as possible.
