I got a chance to pick up a 74 Dart, 4-door, 318, auto, AC (add on I think)

Is the wheel bolt pattern large bolt pattern? Will the front disc brakes and spindles fit on a 68 front end in place of the drum brakes?

If car has add-on AC, thinking of putting it on the Daytona....

If that Dart has the original disc brakes, then yes.
The spindle and lower ball joints fit the taper of the Chargers Upper ball joints and outer tie rods, so you can take the whole assembly and install it in the Charger. The Dart used front hung calipers though, this will interfere with the sway bar mounting. The trick is to swap the spindles side to side and properly route the brake hose to avoid contact with anything. Make sure the caliper bleeder screws point UP.

Give DJ a break.  Not everyone is computer literate or just literate in general.   At least you can make out what he's saying.

the 74 Dart I was looking at is not worth the price he wants....so it can sit there and rot even more

Daytona R/T SE

He should at least take his boots off if he's going to insist on typing with his feet. :Twocents:
