Default Re: Original hemi dart information

I just consigned it to BJ in Palm Beach for April. I need the location of the blue box system. I have the wiring diagram and see a few blank holes in firewall/inner fenders etc. I have the original kit just need help installing correctly if anyone can help. Who knows, this stuff may have been first to throw in trash back then. VALDEZ

Hey Spyphish
Thanks for the pics!!!. That plate looks very original and uncut. Some radio plates have a plate covering a hole where the radio would of been. It's a blank black plate, no grain and 3 attachment screws. Then there's the plates you see on EBay etc, that Dave posted. That one has 4 screw holes and a complete chrome surround.


I have a bunch of old NHOA Newsletters that had a series of these old ignitions. I will try to dig them out this weekend.

Hey Phish

Finally had some time to go searching through my old NHOA newsletters. Found a pic from back in 1980. There's a good article on it with wiring diagrams if you need more

BTW check out the very hard to find heater delete fresh air vent. That vent on a heater equipped car is part of the heater box assembly

Maybe the holes are still there, mine were. it they were filled you probably should be able to see where they were from inside.

Default Re: Original hemi dart information - Overheating

All,

Make sure the lower radiator hose has the original "spring" it in to prevent the hose from collapsing as that RPM's climb. Once that was installed, I never had an overheating issue with the stock radiator, even without a fan shroud.

Hey Daryl have you seen this.
Darn it. I can?t download a file on my phone.
Look up Race City Retro on Facebook or Instagram. They have a New York national shirt and there is a photo of your Dart in the ad I believe. Good luck man.
Oops the photo showed up. Is this it?

Charlie A: On page 440 you were asking about the Gator Raider. I was told it was owned by Ralph Baker who owned the Houma Dragstrip. And it was driven by Dennis Oncal. I'm trying to find more info.

Oncale possibly. I think that was the car that Shrewsbury drove for Vanke at Indy in '69 in A/MP? May have been a one race lease?
