With all the A body Mopar fans here....

...who drove one today? And what broke on it?

I drove my wife's 70 dart all over town. Turn signals don't stay on turning right (that's new) and don't cancel turning left (that was new the previous time I drove it). Only twice did I have to wiggle the wires under the dash to get it to start, the ignition circuit is flakey, it'll spin, no fire, then make a slight catching sound as you turn off the key. I think it needs a new harness, or at least new Molex connectors on the harness where the switch connects. The lights, heater, radio, windows, and everything else seemed to be ok though. Runs ok, for a detuned 340 clone....

Ha, and today at work we talked about mufflers dragging and the resident Die Hard Dodge driver asked if it was his :D

Not today, but a couple of years ago I raced my '71 Dart on the strip and the engine cracked a cylinder... :-X :
After a while in storage I finally pulled the engine and sold that tiny 'Junior' Mopar ;D and started focussing some more on my real cars.... The Fullsize Mopars... ;D

Everyone can make a small car go fast, what's the fun in that... 8) :D

I have a soft spot for this car...I actually built it for a friend of mine...we called it "Project Stealth Scamp"

Re: With all the A body Mopar fans here....

"Stealth Scamp" started life as a little 6 banger car...still running around here with a mildy built small block, TCI Streetfighter 727, 8 3/4 with 3.91 Posi and Moser axles, converted the car to disc brakes and power steering also....its a fun little car for sure

It's just like a high school buddy's Scamp. Same color.

My '74 Scamp. Swapped out the 318/904 for a 360 and a 727 and put in a 8 3/4, 3:55 posi Some of the best times of my life with that car
