Found my dads original 1971 duster!

Could be car sat for decades some passage got rusted shut that is not visible? One doesn't know. But sounds like engines been dyno tested shop said its got a clean bill of health. So get it put in car burn some tires up. Cars are like woman some times you can't figure them out. If ***** working seems to be fine bark up some other tree move on.
Yep. That’s kind of my thoughts as well. I don’t know how big the passages are, but rusting or corroding or whatever are kind of what I was thinking must have happened. I should be driving the car within a month, if all goes well. Engine is supposed to go in the car this coming week. Thanks for your message :)
