Up to 72 is different than later years 73-76. I just bought a set at Carlisle for a 74 Duster and they are stamped 2/74.

If he's converting to a 4bbl, he'll get rid of the ECM and the TBI.

The back of the seat is bolted to 2 straps, so bottom comes out first as stated above.

If your truck is auto you'll probably need a Lokar cable for the tranny.

Do you have emission testing? If so that would be a problem. Here in NY 20 year old vehicles aren't tested for emissions. Sometimes things might not be able to be done to our cars.

The parts I needed that I came home with. Also I stopped by Halifax's spot gave him some distributors I didn't need and we spoke for quite a while. He was a real nice guy and we had a lot in common. I'm continuing to downsize. Just recently I took 40 years of Mopar magazines to the recycling...

My 71 Cuda had a Hurst stick and bolted right to the tranny. I don't think an adapter was necessary for it. But I guess it depends on what tranny you wind up with. Belhousing was about $300.

Why not run the oil pump drive with a drill, rotating the engine with valve covers off to see what's going on instead of pulling intake. Also will be able to tell oil pressure on the gauge. Make sure you use at least 1/2 chuck drill for the power.

A little heat on the locktite and it breaks free.

Why not use red locktite, clean threads with thinner and add locktite.
