Does anyone know where I can find a new plug for the firewall on a 62 Dodge? It's the oval shaped one in the center?

I'm helping someone decode their tag but I can't find some of the missing data. His VIN decodes to a 1962 Dart 440 V8 made in Newark, DE. Ironically his date of mfg is the same as mine only his sequence number was 777 whereas mine was 765. On the middle alphabet row he has A-2, H-3, L-1 and...

I was wondering if the inside top of my doors are supposed to be painted to match the interior or if it's supposed to match the exterior. Just the top portion of the door is blue like the interior but the rest of it is white like the exterior. Is this normal?

I just wanted to say thank you for your guys' help. I ended up finding one at an old Mopar garage/yard here and it's working fine. Still apprehensive when I use it, but at least there is a working one in there now.

Does the wiper motor ground itself through the bracket on the firewall? I went to test another motor and noticed it'll only operate if it's bolted in. I checked the wiring and one wire has power continuously while the other only has power when the switch is on, which makes sense. Having constant...

Yeah, I saw it but someone decided to delete my post before I could do anything. Thank you for reposting the guys name.

Don't know why my last post got deleted. I wasn't asking if someone had one. I was asking if someone knew of a place where they are available. If I wanted one from a member I would have posted it in the Wanted section. Thank you very much. Now... I took the motor off and apart and sure enough...

I'm looking at installing seatbelts in my '62 Dart that didn't come with any. I was told that all cars had the threaded nut in the floorboard to attach them to, but when I checked under the car there are no holes. Only the bolts from the seats. Is it a good idea to drill a hole and use a bolt...

Ah, ok. Thanks for the learning lesson.

One is on the way.

I've been poking around my car for a while now and learning about it since it's a new to me vehicle. I was digging around the driver's side kick panel and found where someone has spliced in the wiring for the backup lights. Not sure if the car was originally a standard or automatic, but it now...

So I found a thread where someone referred to AutoZone as having an electronic VR that replaces the mechanical one. I picked that up today and swapped them out. The voltage is now more consistent at around 14.2 to 14.5. However, all of the lights in the car fluctuate. Everything is new/replaced...

Then I think I'll just "straighten" the nipple. Eventually I may buy a correct one, but the gauge works so I don't see the need to replace it.

It's a 62 dart. The tabs on the unit line up with the tank. This doesn't make sense to me. Guess I could just cut it to make it straight. Would be even better if it pointed to the right...

Is the tube on the sending unit supposed to point up or down? Mine is pointing right at the trunk and the hose kinks every time I put the tank up. The previous owner had the line running into the trunk where the fuel pump was but even if I were to try to connect it to the factory line to the...

Awesome. Thanks for putting my mind at ease!

Quick question...how many straps are supposed to be holding the tank up on these 62 Darts? Mine just has one strap down the center. Is this normal?

I'm wanting to relocate the Holly fuel pump that is in the trunk but I'm limited on under car space. I know it has to be mounted upright and preferably not in the trunk, as the previous owner did. I was looking at under the car on the curved part of the trunk just above the back of the gas tank...

My voltmeter showed the voltage fluctuating quite a bit. I swapped the VR and the lights are now steady. My Voltmeter shows a steady 15.6-16 volts. However, when I took it to the parts store to have the system tested it was showing 13.7. So either my voltmeter is off or theirs is off. Either...

UPDATE: I picked up a replacement alternator from O'Reilly's. It was supposed to be the earlier style, single field alternator as shown on their website and others but after three different ones, all being the square back style, I decided to go with it. Here's what I did. I ran a ground wire...
