1983 Dodge Diplomat Why does horn sound weak?
Try replacing the horn fuse or relay to make sure you're getting a good supply of power. Check wiring connections at the horn to make sure they're clean, not corroded, etc. Figure out where the ground wire from the horn (usually black) connects to the body or wiring harness and check that connection. A bad ground can cause the problem you describe.

My 1970 Dodge Dart 225 Slant Six died while making
seems like you are not getting fuel up to the carburetor, try pouring a tiny bit of gas into the carb, then crank it and see if it will attempt to start...have you checked your spark?, even though coil and all is new, make sure you are getting blue spark, (from your explanation I assume you know how to do this)
If it attempts to start after the mickey mouse trick of pouring the gas in the carb, then more than likely its your pump, thats a mechanical pump, not expensive, probably not hard to come by, also replace the fuel filter and any damaged lines you may see. a kink will also cause lack of fuel flow eventually causing a vacuum.
I hope this helps a bit.

I just bought a 1973
you should pick up a manual for your car as it will have the information you will need and diagrams for other work you would like to do to it.
1970 Dodge Dart 225 Slant
The carburetor spits when its flooded - so something must be wrong inside it. Since this is the second time it has stalled when turning left it appears that the level in the bowl is higher than it should so the mixture is way richer : turning left pushes the fuel to the left in the bowl, making the momentary level even higher over the jets so the mixture gets so rich that it can't be lighted anymore so the engine stalls.
You will have to dismantle the carburetor, check the float for leaks and readjust it before reassembling it. While you are there check the size of the jets, they might be larger than normal.
How do i remove my
Top of Form 1
Raise the vehicle and remove the rear wheels.
Clean all dirt from the housing cover and remove the housing cover to drain the lubricant.
Remove the brake drum.
Rotate the differential case until the differential pinion shaft lockscrew can be removed. Remove the lockscrew and pinion shaft.
Push the axle shafts toward the center of the vehicle and remove the C-locks from the grooves on the axle shafts.
Pull the axle shafts from the housing, being careful not to damage the bearing which remains in the housing.
Inspect the axle shaft bearings and replace any doubtful parts. Whenever the axle shaft is replaced, the bearings should also be replaced.
Remove the axle shaft seal from the bore in the housing, using the button end of the axle shaft.
Remove the axle shaft bearing from the housing. Do not reuse the bearing or the seal.
Check the bearing shoulder in the axle housing for imperfections. These should be corrected with a file or polish.
Trying to just keep front
I assume you are asking which resovoir in a split master cylinder is the one for the front brakes? It will almost always be the larger one if they are different sizes and that one will be closest to the firewall. (rearmost on the master cylinder)

Sounds like the kick down linkage is missing. Try your local recycler. Most dodge 225's have similiar carbs.You may find what you need there.
I have a 2002 Dodge Durango 4.7 l with the coil pack spark plugs but I'm not getting spark what do I do
Start with the silly, obvious things first. Check the coils packs are the correct ones and are seated correctly. Check the wiring connectors are also seated correctly.
Have you checked for spark on all of the coils? This will test to see if it is the coils themselves or further back in the ignition system. Have you had the vehicle scanned for OBD trouble codes? This will help find out if it's a sensor causing the issue.
Next you need to check for voltage going to the coil packs. Check them all to make sure it isn't just one or two causing the issue. After this I would suggest getting a good Auto electrician to look at it as it could be an issue inside the vehicle's electronics.
