Not sure where or if this is an appropriate question, but I am newbie to mopar (1 have 66 dart for 1.5years I have worked on L6). Anyhow, I am looking at possible getting a 2nd car and would like to avoid the pitfalls that I encountered when I bought my 66 Dart. My dart needed an engine rebuild 1 month after I got it. I hope, now I know what to look for.
Looking for something that requires very little mechanical/electrical work for my Teen son. We have found a 73 dart swinger with 318. However it has had a 4bbl added to it along with a new edlebrock intake. They were unable to reconnect the kickdown. Also the auto trans has had a 3 speed rachet shifter added to it? I think that means you shift from gear to gear, but it is automatic? How does Kickdown work with that type of shifter? Also if you have any ideas on what something like this would cost, that would be GREAT info. Any other hints? or things to be wary of?
