I have a 1975 Dodge Dart Swinger that I am currently restoring. It is equipped with the 225 slant six, 904 Torqueflight, and AC. I have a cable (attached picture) that I cannot remember where it goes. It is about 15" in length and appears to be about an 8 gauge with eyelets on each end. Please let me know if you know where it goes on the Swinger.

Glove Compartment door maybe? Seat latch?
Torque strap for the Tower of Power?

Glove box door. The cable keeps the door from dropping all the way open. One eyelet is attached to the dash frame, the other to the door. It goes on the far passenger side of the glove box door.

I was thinking the same thing in a previous post but this thing is 15" long.

Does the car have the "Fold Down" rear seat option ?
That would be my guess

These are all great guesses. I know it isn't the glove box door strap because it is too long and I have that part installed already. The rear seats are not a folding down type like a Dart Sport/Demon or some of the Dusters. The engine to chassis ground sounds good but I can't find a picture (5,000+ during disassembly) of the strap to the engine. Thanks for your help. If it hits you what it is let me know.

Thanks,

Chris

How about the front seat "fold" button to the release latch??

That does not look like any kind of engine ground strap.
