    318 gurus/historians

    Someone tell me what I have. I bought a '77 D100, neat little truck, I've had many. It had sat for 18 years in a metal shed. 318 auto with air, P/S, P/B and the adventurer package. I slowly brought it back to life, and it ran great. Having sat for so long, it started leaking oil, trans fluid and...

    Leaking 727

    I know Jack Diddley about transmissions. Well, the inner workings at least. I have a 727 that had sat for 18 years in the truck. When I got it running it performed flawlessly but started leaking everywhere. I replaced the seals and gaskets which sealed it up nice. Just sitting and running, and...

    Interior Dyes/paints

    I put this in general discussion because it's a Dodge D-100. The plastic dash has faded. I have used SEM spray can dye/paint before but I am not finding the color I need. I will need to paint the plastic dash, padded glove box door and the door panels so everything matches. What other products...

    Proportioning valve repair

    Has anyone ever had on of these apart? Mine was stopped up to the back brakes. So I took it apart and cleaned it the best I could. My question is, is there a o ring on this plunger in that groove. It was nothing but white chalky stuff.

    Wheels worth anything?

    My county is having a tire forgiveness day coming up, so I'm getting rid of a bunch of used tires. I am not using the original wheels that came off of my /6 Duster, 14" sbp. I figure if they are not worth anything, I could haul them to the scrapper on my next trip, or sell them. What say you?

    [FOR TRADE] 1970 Duster for D100/150

    I bought this car to flip a couple of years ago, but got to working on it and decided to keep. Now I’m about to blow the front suspension apart and would like to see if anyone has a good truck to trade. The car is a low mileage (around 74k) original paint, slant 6. It has a new fuel system...

    Carter BBD questions

    I have a stock '70 Duster that I just did a 2bbl conversion on. I put a Carter BBD on it, the one with the stamped steel cover over the metering rods. I bought it here as a rebuilt carb. I did take it apart and everything was new, checked the float level and adjusted it. It runs great, idles...

    /6 Hooker Headers...surprise

    So, I am making the swap to a 2bbl manifold on my '70 Duster with a /6. I had just rescued this car in June, and have gotten it drivable. When I bought the car the exhaust manifold was badly broken, but it came with a good used one so I put it on. The spring for the heat riser broke and was...

    Timing running at 20* advance...

    Here's a little background on the car. 1970 Duster, low mileage (73k), untouched, that has sat for years till this summer. I bought the car in June this year it would start and run with gas being poured in the carb. I have gotten it road worthy. It runs and drives really, really good. In order...

    Speedometer or cable problems?

    The speedometer in my '70 Duster worked just fine, no jumping and accurate. I had to pull the cluster to install a new dash pad. When I drove it after putting everything back together the speedometer was fine. After a few miles it started jumping all over the place and making a noise like...

    Duster blower motor

    Ok, I had to tear my dash apart to put a new dash pad on (from classic industries, it's green and awesome!) and now I am fixing things that I knew where broken. The heater blower motor is seized up, and yes I tried to free it up. Thought I would just order a new one, there isn't any. Now what...

    Drum to power disc?

    Let me tell you what I have 1975 Duster Slant 6 w/manual drums. I have a line on a 1978 Volare with the Super 6, which I want, and also has power disc brakes. I know from reading previous threads I can swap to the disc brakes in front. So can I assume that I can use the power disc also? And, off...
