Hey Guys! A real noobie coming to you guys. I have been a modern Mopar enthusiast for a while now, all over the Charger/Challenger ForumZ. But now im getting a 71 Dart Swinger from my GF’s Friend. It was originally owned by her Great Grandmother, has been treated very well from what im told. Im really excited about this being a new project. But the more I rove around these forums, the more I realize just how clueless I am when it comes down to the bear bones of the engine work, which is part of the reason im so excited, hope to learn a lot. Im gonna have a few thousand questions im sure, so youll be hearing from me, thanx guys!!

Oh ya, some details, all I know is it’s a /6 and an automatic (bummer I know but im getting it for free, so whatcha gonna do?) I’ve seen you guys talking all sorts of engine sizes, and transmission sizes and stuff. Im clueless to this. Anyone have a place that could give me a crash course into the lingo would be great! Thanx again.
 
Sounds like a great car. Nothing wrong with the slant, actually a great motor to start with. Take your time with it,learn how to tune it up first. Ask questions here,we can help you out. Definately post pics as soon as you can.
