My 1973 Dodge Dart Winter Project:

i have to replace the seats,fix dash lights,dome light,turn siginals,temp sensor,take play out of steering box,fix lifters,tune up engine,lube front and rear end,try to tweak the sl6 for a bit more kick, and other minor cosmetics. 132K orginal miles.runs good and has new tires. i have replaced the fuel & water pump. and also a radiator flush. i have had it for 3 days now. ~ MiDi

Ah yes, I saw that car on Craigslist. If you run into much trouble with the steering box I would refer you to Firm Feel steering and suspension in Vancouver. Dennis and Dick are both first class guys and can rebuild your existing steering box or exchange it for one that's been rebuilt.

If you want to make a trip to beautiful Yacolt, Washington I can help with the temperature sensor (have several) and show you how to adjust the valves (bring a valve cover gasket).

awesome Joshie225, thanks for you reply!

yeah it was on craigs, and since i am such a sl6 dart/valient fan i had to get it. i drove it back from 108th and powell with no tags and no turn siginals to hollywood dist. and she ran like a champ!

i'll check out that steering place in the cove, as soon as i get tags on this old girl. if i can get it running enough for the trip to seattle my brother has a awesome shop (wc deisel and proformance) and he can help me with a few engine mods and proformance stuff. but i would rather do it my self.

but my main prob is the electrical, and i am a electronics tech but not for cars. but anyways it great to talk to a local guy about this stuff. hopefully i can meet a few of u guys and have a pint and talk mopars.

cheers!

MiDi

There's another member that has the 2 door version of your car (color, etc...but has a super six...) who also lives in Portland...


Welcome to the Board...

You don't need a locksmith. Remove the back seat, and go into the trunk that way. Take a flashlight and a screwdriver. Find the lock mech and turn it from the inside, or else unbolt the catch. When the trunk is open, you can then remove the lock, without doing damage. Find a new or used lock with key and reinstall.
