I was cruisin around in the good old dart today. Stopped to turn into a street and when I kicked down the gas pedal it made a pretty lou "clack", I felt it in the gas pedal it lost power for a sec or 2 but started accelerating again right after.
Felt kinda sketchie
Anybody know what happened?

Sounds like a backfire, probably through the carburetor. Could be poor accelerator pump (worn or not working), poor mixture adjustment, ignition problems...

Maybe the resistor is starting to fail. Grab your spare and put it on.
