    Seat measurements needed

    Hey guys, I'm putting bucket seats in my 74 Duster that originally came with a bench. I have tried to locate them (the best I could) by eye balling the original locations, but when I FINALLY got my steering column installed, the steering wheel is literally in my lap. Could someone measure the...

    gas tank filler gasket

    I have installed a new filler tube for my 74 Duster, through the rubber gasket seal, into the tank. I am having a real difficult time getting the seal to line up correctly to the mounting holes. Does anyone have any tricks they might share? - Jon

    Let's talk about Small Victories

    I don't know about you guys and gals, but my favorite Forum on FABO is Member's Restorations. It not only shows me just how talented some of yall are, it inspires me to get off my butt and get back to work. Which brings me to my topic. I have been working on my Duster for about 4 years now...

    Mini Starter Bolts

    Hey everyone, My 74 Duster with a 727, did not come with a starter. Since I was sans starter I wanted to go the mini starter route and picked one up today. My replacement did not come with bolts and I am trying to track down the correct size bolts. Do I go off the 92 Dakota that the starter...

    Need brake line installation ideas

    I know it's been awhile but, do you by any chance have the part number for that Wilwood "soft" line going from the hard line to the caliper?

    Header brain fart

    Called Doug's "technical support" and I asked the guy why the 453 say up to 72 but not 73 and 74 since there weren't any significant changes. He literally said, "that is the way the engineers designed them." So.... you don't know the difference or where it would be an issue for 73/74 owners...

    Header brain fart

    Yeah, I can't think its so different that it wont fit especially since I'm using a manual steering box. I guess I have a call to make. Thanks for the response. Jon

    Header brain fart

    RRR, would you by any chance, off the top of your head, know what headers I should go with? I found TTIs website and they are saying they have a set but I'd like to get actual users advice first

    Header brain fart

    Header brain fart

    Hey ya'll, I picked up a set of Doug's 453's for my 74 Duster with a 360 and 727 from Summit. Before I bought them I looked and read the 453's were the way to go. I SWEAR I read the Doug's 453s were the ones I need. Box finally showed up today and as I was looking at the paperwork I noticed it...

    Braided Brake lines

    No, sorry, it's a MC to portioning valves to appropriate calipers up front. NiCop from MC to rear is what is going to be used.
