Trunk latch 70 Dart

[Spadman]

I thought this was my trunk key cylinder until I went to put it in and the tang going into the latch prutuded way through; more than an inch beyond the latch. Is that possibly right? Also, how the heck do you get the retainer on it with no direct access?

This is the trunk latch/cylinder/retainer from my 70 Dart 340 Swinger. Totally different.

Yes, the tang appears curved and much shorter. The retainer has more to hold on to. I wonder who else has this type? I’ll have to dig through all my misc parts to see if I can find something similar.

70-73 Dart and 71-73 Scamp.

If you need them I have 4 or 5 trunk lids and may be able to get you the tang and retainer

That would be great. I’ll send you a PM.
