    1970 Duster Front Brake Conversion Kit for SBP

    Likely, but you should confirm. I believe there was a thread a few months ago where this was discussed.

    1970 Duster Front Brake Conversion Kit for SBP

    You could track down a kelsey hayes small bolt brake setup which will work with your upper control arms, but they can be expensive and hard to get parts for. Another option is to use the dr diff brake kit which converts to an oem style 73-76 brake setup and can be ordered with small bolt...

    Any Pertronix experts here?

    Usually the concern is about using a coil with too low of a primary resistance, which can pull too much current and burn stuff up. My instinct is that you will be fine with the 1.5 but will just get less voltage to the plugs.

    KA-thunk

    Could be a poorly adjusted kickdown that is pushed too far back (towards the firewall) for a given throttle position. Post a pic of the setup?

    Adjustment for positive Camber?

    Looking from the front yes, but from the head of the bolt one is moving cw and the other ccw.

    Adjustment for positive Camber?

    The only answer I can give is yes. Procedure is this: Loosen all four nuts, holding bolts in position. Equally twist the cam bolts to move arm inwards. You will just have to look at the cams relative to the tabs and see which way it goes. Front and back will be opposites, and driver and...

    Front suspension Q’s

    The only adjustment is how you install them. The arrow on the bushing indicates the direction of offset. For most caster, the front is offset out and the back is offset in. After you've installed them it's a done deal and all further adjustments are made by twisting the cam bolt. The alignment...

    273 commando cylinder head bolt torque specs ? same as 340 ?

    The torque spec is a essentially a measure of how much a bolt is being stretched as it is tightened. There is a particular amount which is ideal, and all other amounts which are not. The torque spec for a bolt therefore has nothing to do with what the bolt is holding and everything to do with...

    He said KH brakes, so definitely small upper ball joint.

    Front suspension Q’s

    By rebuild the arms, I assume you mean new bushings and ball joints. You can definitely have a local shop do that, or do it yourself if you have the tools (or don't but are down to get creative). You will need small ball joints. You also might consider the moog offset upper control arm bushings...

    Alignment change after changing from drum to disc

    I've noticed this too on my car when I did the swap. Easily solved with a few turns on each sleeve.

    Rear end

    I would look for early dakotas and jeep xjs for gears and or a suregrip. Most have 3.55s, but you can also find 3.07, 3.21, 3.73, and 3.90
