FNG to A-bodies!

[MarPar]

Howdy ladies and gents!

Some of y'all may know me from FBBO and now I am here to sully this board's reputation as well lol

I currently own a 68 Plymouth GTX and just acquired a 74 Dart Swinger over the weekend.

Now the quest for learning about A-bodies begins in earnest....please be gentle :violent1:

Linky to youtube vid of the leaning tower of power running... [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0UtbXdHFiw&list=UUZtwDaK9o3qT1nUObbCtFDQ"]Swinger baby!! - YouTube[/ame]

and some pics of the new baby...btw, if anybody recognizes this car and could shed light on the history of it, I would be most appreciative.

Thanks!
Mar

Thanks Mitch, will do! lol and ill definetly check out the GTS thread.

So my first question for y'all...Ive been scouring the interwebs for a {paperback} FSM for this puppy and have come up empty. anybody have a source? I know it's going to be relatively $$ for a paperback version, but I dont want to print out 500+ pages off the CD version... thanks!

 

[MOPARMITCH]

Mar, I have a 68 FSM that came with my RR. It's pretty generic Mopar stuff and does cover all 68 Mopar.I'm using it for the GTS. I'm sure you have one for the GTX. Procedures between Your B body and that later A body are not going to be all that different.

Thanks Mitch. I do have one for the GTXer, Ill have to check it out and see. Only thing that may be missing is /6 stuff and wiring diagrams...
