    Slant six with Holley 1920 won’t idle

    By cerb

    I’m in the process of getting my 1965 Valiant running after spending 35 years in a barn (the car, not me). I’ve rebuilt the carburetor and had to disassemble and clean it once more because I got contaminated fuel that clogged up the carb. To make a long story short: it’s now running quite happily but only until the choke starts to open. As soon as the fast idle screw drops of the fast idle cam it dies. The curb idle screw doesn’t make much of a difference although I can keep it running... Read more

    65 Valiant engine swap

    By LAP Valiant

    So, after pulling the engine, the 273 is done (metal shavings through out and blow by from piston rings, etc.). I have found a 318 engine 4bbl carb (swap was done from factory 2bbl) and 4 speed transmission out of a 67 Charger that I may want the shop to swap out. Will the accessories swap out with no problem? Has anyone done this swap? I really appreciate the input from you all.

    Dart 4x4?

    By Ddaddy

    Ok, this is just for giggles and grins but it got me thinking about what folks might think about the idea. A few days ago I was working on this image just for fun... After that I decided to photoshop what a '69 Dart might look like as a 4x4. What do you think...if it were a real vehicle?

    Floor hole dimensions for seat brackets

    By Aussie Charger

    Hi guys, I have an Aussie 71 A-body. I'm looking at fitting some Corbeau seats. I assumed the floor hole dimensions would be the same as the US A-bodies (67+ Plymouth/Dodge Valiant/Dart/Demon etc). My floor holes measure 12 1/2" side-to-side and 12 1/4" front-to-back on both sides. Corbeau sent me dimensions for their A-body brackets as follows: D/S: Front Side to Side- 12 1/2" Back Side to Side- 12 1/2" Left Front to Back- 12 1/4" Right Front to Back- 12 1/4" So far, so good. But the... Read more

    Windshield Install Question 70 Dart

    By 70SwingerGuy

    So Im getting ready to install the windshield in my 70 Dart 2dr. My question is about the lower gasket seating by the cowl. Obviously the other 3 sides of the gasket fit nicely over the pinch welds, but that area does not, so does the gasket kind of "seat itself" or "find its way" when the glass gets installed into it? Because there is nothing to actually lock it in place, not that I can figure out anyways. The Yucktube videos that Ive watched dont seem to address this, and the FSM is... Read more

    Any idea on the 4 letter codes on some parts, mid 60s?

    By Miranthis

    Curious. My rear bumper supports have an AANX on them, some of the trim in the dash has AASQ, the some emblems have AALG or AAAG on them, the radio has AAPJ, the speaker hs AAOV, etc.. WHat are they, these 4 letter codes, mainly starting AA**? tied to suppliler, type, finish, system, what? It is NOT the P/N or the part type code from the parts manual. searches in the parts and service manuals turn up nothing. Several AI's are clueless, or worse than clueless as they try to make ****...

    ID what these transmissions fit?

    By jos51700

    If I'm not mistaken the one on the left is a BB 727, it has the hump on the RH side of the pan too What's the other? Doesn't look exactly like BB pattern to me, but kinda does. There were lots of old race car parts in the trailer with this stuff. What would these be worth as cores?

    Vacuum advance range + big block timing

    By edbods

    You'd think vacuum advance cans are generally built to some sort of standard, so would that apply to the range at which they advance timing? I've got a 67 383-2 that I converted a while back to electronic ignition, bought the dizzy from Rick Ehrenberg but using a hand vac pump, it seems like the vacuum advance on that has a range of 13 inches. I wasn't able to adjust when it kicked in (stuck a 3mm and a 3/32" allen key and neither worked, just felt like the hex was rounded out) so I... Read more

    GEN III 5.7 Hemi + 8HP70 Swap into 1973 Duster

    By prostreet73

    Hello, After a long hibernation I am looking to get my project Prostreet Duster up and going. I've done research on many different swaps and ideas but I think I have finally landed on the possibility of putting a Gen III 5.7 and an 8HP70 in to her. This setup covers all basis of what I am looking to build, reasonably dailyable that I can get in and take anywhere while still boogying down the road. I am looking for advise and recommendations for swap parts particularly the computer side of... Read more

    I hear a noise....

    By OldJoe54

    I have a 75 Duster, with a 360c.i. from a 1975 RV, don't know the mileage on this engine. Idles smoothly around 750-800 rpm, but it seems to be "noisy", seems loudest on the right bank. Ended up pulling the push rods. two of the rods on two different cylinders have a wear band ( see photo ) about 1/5 inch up from the bottom end (this is the lifter end). I call it a wear band because you can feel the rod has actually worn down. So my questions are 1. what causes this wear?, 2. do I need... Read more

    3-Speed Wiper Motor Park Switch Relocation

    By dilley340

    Is there anything special that I need to do while relocating the park switch on my wiper motor? It's currently set up for a B/E-Body, and I need to move to the A-Body ('73 Duster) location. I did a forum search and while I can find the location needed for the A-Bodies, I don't see the process for making the change. Is it as simple as loosening the screw's and rotating the switch plate, or is there more to it on the inside? This wiper motor was expensive, and I don't want to screw it up... Read more

    When you walk away from a project (NOT A SALE AD)

    By rbkt65

    and have a ton of new parts, how are you pricing the new parts. I am probably going to walk away from my 70 Dart. I have bought a lot of new parts. If I include them in the price of the rolling unit, what price do I put on them. I have the following new parts that I bought. Gas tank, carpet, fuel sending unit, shorty headers, new leaf springs, 1/2 inch inboard spring relocation kit. A lot more than this. Do I price them at the price I bought them at or lose a little money. If the person had... Read more
