Re: 1968 Dodge Darts (Factory SS/EA 440's)
Kyle,
Rule #1 - Don't ever try to figure out what the Chrysler Performance Technicians were thinking.
Rule #2 - Don't ever forget Rule #1.
Rule #3 - Always refer to Rule #1.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That said,
Does the Dart GTS have both front and rear 'torque boxes'.
The 4-Speed 383 cars had both front and rear.
The Automatic 383 cars only had rears, but sometimes both.
Does the Dart GTS have any idications of a Console.
These cars were GTS 383's with console shifted automatics.
All '6' 1968 cars were converted to 440's with B&M Automatic
Transmissions.
Investigation #2
You might have to check 1968, 1969 and 1970 Race Results at the
following California Tracks
* Carlsbad
* Irwindale
* Freemont
* Bakersfield
* Lions
* Fontana
* Riverside
* OCIR
* San Fernando
Charlie Allen was at the March 1968 'Hot Rod Magazine Championships at Riverside Raceway with that Dart.
The 1968 Dart '440 GTS' was classed in;
* SS/EA in 1968
* SS/GA in 1969
* SS/FA in 1970.
Information, back in 1968 "no' Header Company made an under-chassis
set for the 440 A-Body.
Only fenderwell units (Hooker Headers).
