Power to manual steering conversion for A Body Mopar. 1968 Dodge Dart drag car 

Awesome J《☆》Seems like yesterday when I did manual steering swap on my 68 Barracuda & my 73 Dart Sport but it's been 40 & 30 years with no regrets👍✔You'll love it especially with the skinny tires up front🖖🤓🏈

Mopar lightweight master cylinder is next hehe

Sweet!

Great videos, will be doing a lot of the same stuff you have been doing to my 68 convertible barracuda big block. Very similar to the one in Peter's garage(been parked for 25 years). Peter actually built my tranny back in the 80's. Will probably get his shop to do the Trans brake set up you did in previous video. Hope to run into you some day down in Vic. I live up island

Good video, cool cars, great music and lots of info! That makes for an excellent video!

Unfortunately for my wife to drive the car it needs a hydraulic assistance . I think I’m going to go with a bracing off the rear of the k member to put in a rack and pinion setup to make it half and half. A good rack will be a good in between.

FORD PEOPLE, My brother did that to his ford car & had shimmy issues.

Mopars and a little Floyd ohhh yeah

OMG... FOCUS ON YOUR VIDEO TITLE/TOPIC

Jamin to animals and working on mopars awesome

Lol with all that working out your going to bulk up and put all that weight back in the car lol. It will be an adventure turning at the end of the track. Ok enough joking. Looks like a great plan to go quicker. Good luck with your beast!

Great channel for young & old....thanks Joe

Great video I just order the rms front suspension for my 68 dart. I see your running stick console and shifter do you find yourself coming out of low gear and hitting drive at the track. Because it’s not a slapstick

I’m looking for an edelbrock 7576 intake do you have one that’s forsale?

For safety sake you might want to ditch the rag joint and put in borgeson u joint conversion

I see you have newer style motor mounts on your K member. Did you swap the K member or did you weld on new mounts?

Ahhh. Another great video Joe. I’ll be doing the swap to manual steering with my Dart as well. My car is currently an automatic transmission car but I’ve been gathering all the goods for a manual 4spd conversion. All these videos are great as down the line I can refer to them if needed. Again, thank you for sharing your experiences and making these great videos. The season is almost here and I’m looking forward to seeing you enjoy your car at the track 😃👍

nice weight reduction - aluminum Master cylinder next?

Great video. I noticed that 68 blue GTS because many years ago I had the sister to that one. Blue, 340 automatic, oddly enough a column shift, pearl white interior, black longitudinal stripe and 3:23 open. Also came with the grill center piece and bumper nerfs. Car, for totally stock ran hard like a big block. The one car I wish I’d kept.

Did the swap back in 73 in my first Super Stock Demon 340. I was running 1 7/8" headers and no way would the power steering work. I kept the small diameter "Tuff" steering wheel and it was a bit harder steering but no worries for 1/4 mile only.

Very nice - I debated a manual steer to dump the pump, but I kept it for now and went to a borgeson unit. With that said, my dreams of a procharger are looking for a mounting location and that power steer location is looking pretty good.

Very interesting video as my nephew has a Plymouth Fury 383 and has just started racing but runs a power steering set up so will send him this video plus I love your Dodge Dart such nice compact car I have a 61 Cadillac Coupe Deville and have been thinking of a change so will be looking out over here in UK to see what’s about but another great video and well explained too keep them coming 👍

Looking great bud!! I am in the middle of converting my 73 dart to manual steering!!! Mopar or no car!! 🤙🏻 💪🏻

Good day brother from mid Tn. I never worried PS on any of my old cars. In the 60s early 70s it was a option and many cars, especially big block cars. never had PS. It was never a issue unless you were parking or maneuvering inside a shop. I'm excited, she is getting closer.

Looking good Joe. Thanks for the drop top update. Pete has some nice pieces over there. I love your view out the front door beautiful B.C. still got the snow here in Winterpeg! All the best...

Good choice ditching the power steering setup on the Dart. The weight savings alone will make car quicker. Don't worry about the extra effort of a manual box, once the car is rolling, it's nothing. Even on the street. Tell Pete, his Hemi Dart is incredible.

Coming along just nicely Exciting times ahead buddy Cheers 🍻

Awesome Conversion, and nice weight loss... your Dart is just Sooo cool, can wait to see it all back together and running AND Racin' !

Great job. With the weight saving your ride height changes, that changes your alignment angles. Toe is one of those angles that will affect tire wear and ET times. You might want to visit the alignment shop. Looking forward to more great videos.

Every little bit helps and when it looks great that's even better great job.

Cool video! Glad it wasnt a pia to do. Car looks amazing 👍👍🙏🙏

This thing is going to rip!

Really like watching your videos and it's great to see you making progress. Cant wait to see the car back on the track. Just got mine on the track after a full rebuild recently.

Yeah that's wild . Killa job

Why take 6 engine mt bolts out ? Instead of 2?
