    Mirrors

    I tried a search and didn’t turn up much. has anyone tried aftermarket mirrors on their duster ? Know of a good brand that actually work as far as being able to adjust and see better ? I have some pretty heavy traffic in my area and I would feel better being able to keep my wits about me...

    Clutch Pedal options for t56 swap

    Coming in real late did you end up choosing a setup? If not I also did this swap recently and I went with a wilwood setup with one of their pedals and master. The master being as small as it is still ended up being in the wheel well and I had a hydraulic shop help me out with lines. Works great...

    Signal issues

    looks like that was it !! I had driven myself bonkers checking grounds and cleaning sockets trying to sort it out. I reckon the LED indicators were just enough to not make them trip. I’ve since swapped everything over to LED with continued success

    Signal issues

    the signals front and rear will get brighter and not flash the same happens with the hazards, and yes the pc board connector that was the best description I had for that part, and by loop I am assuming the signals would send signal to the indicator, the indicator has two wires coming in for each...

    First project

    Okay guys a quick update. I’ve been busy between work trips and other life events. The car has become quite the Frankenstein. I picked up a C6 zo6 T-56 for cheap and retrofitted it into a gto/f-body style and have begun the process to get that into the car as well as a junkyard 8.8 with 4.10...

    Dash cluster Signal indicators

    I recently replaced the dash cluster in my 74 duster with the classic industries blank cluster and gauges I picked out. I got it all in and realized I had overlooked signal indicators. I’m curious what has anyone done for their dash when replacing the stock cluster? I’m thinking a couple LEDs...

    Wheels for a duster offset and backspace

    I got the motegi tracklites. 17x8 rear 17x7 front running nitto tires 225/45/17 front and 245/45/17 rear. The backspacing was 5.5 if I remember right so I used a 1.5 spacer to bring the rear out to what I needed it to be. The front I needed up having to run a small spacer to make the wheels fit...

    First time engine build won't fire

    I forgot to mention I actually did end up finding I had too short rods and have since dialed all that in as well. Whole car has been a learning experience but loving every minute (even the cursing up a storm moments) lol.

    Wheels for a duster offset and backspace

    Got the wheels all mounted! Figured I’d share some photos, thanks for all the help, yes I ended up going with hubcentric spacers for the rear so that I could get the same rim all around without forking out 500 or more per wheels for customs.

    First time engine build won't fire

    Got the oil leak sorted out . Took a step back and went at the basics, revisited my pcv valve situation and got it sorted out until it showed up again so I got out my trusty mirror on a stick and found the issue at the back of the intake there was a tiny pin hole in my rtv line that it was...

    First time engine build won't fire

    Okay guys this oil leak is getting tough to diagnose. It didn’t appear until much later than the initial break in and I thought it was the oil filter but an oil change and retorque of the filter plate I still had it so I got it running and warm and took it for a test drive it didn’t appear until...

    Wheels for a duster offset and backspace

    Thanks so much! I get it now and am certain that I’ll end up running a spacer if I want to avoid full custom wheels which I don’t mind spacers if I can find a set that bolt to the car in place of longer studs. Next hurtle in the decision process would be the center bore as I would rather run a...

    Wheels for a duster offset and backspace

    Thank you for the advice ! You are correct I am working to improve and modernize the handling of the car, the improvements I’ve made have already made a large change in the handling, it no longer feels as sloppy or like a boat on the short drives I’ve taken it on so far. One thing I am still...

    Wheels for a duster offset and backspace

    Okay guys I have been reading and I don’t think I’m fully comprehending how back spacing and offset work. I’m working with a 74 duster with a 8.25 rear with disc brakes that I took off a Jeep. The car is BBP. I’ve put on tubular upper control arms stock steering rods. In the back Hotchkis...
