I’ve got a 74 Duster 360. And a 70 340 Dart. They both drive well but what else have you guys done to make your cars handle better?
What’s your caster set atSubframe connectors, 1.03" or larger torsion bars, sway bars and good shocks go a long way to making these cars handle very well. I also put tubular upper control arms and stiffener plates on my lower control arms.

It has a front sway bar. I’ve rebuilt the ps box lowered the rear put as much caster as I can in it. I’ll probably ad a rear sway bar.Much of what I've done is here, although not exactly up to date.: 67 Barracuda for Handling and the Road
Always refining, especially when new tires go on..
Now what should you do? that's a different question.
Front sway bar is the first place I always suggest to increase front roll resistance and remove compliance.
Details depend on what's on there now.

Alignment followed by tires and shocks. You already have the factory handling package, which is very good by the standards of the time. That's basically what my son's Dart convertible has, except it is factory big block stuff that is also supporting a big block. Ride is very good and the handling is predictable. It can be improved, but at this time it is fine for a street car.
