Somebody tried to cobble together a "racecar" with my Duster before I got it. Power for the 2-step is through a switch on the dash, maybe that's why. I just leave it off though, as it's a 100% street car now.

Okay. When you said the flexplate had an offset hole that had to be enlarged slightly, made me wonder.

The 5.9 flexplate could be your issue. Pre-'96, balance weights were on the converter, and there was an offset bolt hole. '96 and on, the flexplates had the balance weights, bolt holes were squared up, and the converters were neutral balanced. Which one do you have?

Bump...

4mulas- I re-read your post, missed the part about you making that system yourself, as I was pretty much looking at the photos. Thanks for the idea, I may tear into the back and see if there's room for something like that.

I was searching for which cap came what years, but I have no clue if this is even right for '74. When the fuel cell mess was installed, they cut the fill tube off about 3" inside the quarter.

Damn, how did I miss that. Especially as I was the one to cap it off. Even though I put the tank in 6 months ago, that's no excuse. Is that the same vent system they used for the fold-down rear seat cars? I'm kinda surprised the P.O. would've pulled it out, they weren't particular about most of...

I was hoping that was the case. I've read (here mostly) views that it's not enough, and the tank needs more venting for filling, etc.

When I got my '74 Duster, the factory tank was gone, along with the spare tire well. Slab of sheetmetal on the trunk floor and a fuel cell on it... I wasn't a fan. I got lucky, found a very nice trunk floor, tank, and 5/16" pickup/sender from a '73 Valiant and stuck them in. There are no ports...

Hmm, got going on other things and kinda forgot about this post. Talked to Transgo, the restriction in the 1-2 shift control circuit is part of (at least) the TFOD2 design. If you use their provided seperator plate, you don't need to install the restrictor plug in the case at the accumulator...

So I managed to trace out the circuit this morning, and it's a restrictor between the 1-2 shift control valve and the accumulator. First one of these I had came with an O/D HD2 kit, but I've bought a few more since, to replace checkball damaged stock ones. I guess I need to call Transgo and get...

I was comparing some seperator plates today, and got to wondering why the replacement ones from Transgo have one hole (picture) that's much smaller than the stock ones I have on hand. I was hoping somebody could clarify A) which circuit this hole is part of, and B) why they decided to reduce...

Well, that turned into a whole lot of nothing. The mounting brackets wouldn't fit, as that section of framerail is wider than on the Challenger... also looks like the exhaust will be in the way. Back on the shelf it goes, guess I've got an E body sway bar for sale.

Your choice, 45#/25# or 45#/45#... $40 plus shipping, probably about $10 to the lower 48.

These are the brackets I'm using.
