Yeah, there's only so much diagnosis you can do superficially...now I can actually inspect and fix it.

My Duster's 198cu slant 6 was clearly misfiring and I found that cylinder 6 had no compression at all and cylinder 3 only 40 psi. Hence, I had the pleasure to remove the head and investigate further. As you can see from the attached photos, a lot is happening. The gasket has a lot of wear but...

Okay, thanks for the input. I think based on this I'll just try to figure it out the DIY way.

Thanks, for the part number and info. Tho, I'm still struggling to source these parts... A local shop sells bushing and clips for Hurst shifters (like this). The bushings look very similar to the grommets in my shifter. Would these work in my shifter linkage given the hole size is correct?

My shifter linkage has a lot of play and the grommets are worn out and broken. Looking for a "repair kit" that would include at least the grommets and clips. Any other tips how to fix this are welcome as well.

Sooo...it was the throttle linkage cable. Now, I just have to figure wheter to replace the cable or get it unstuck. Thanks for the help everybody! Edit: Adjusted the throttle cable from this bolt and now the problem is fixed.

Thanks for the replies! I'll check these tomorrow when I have more time and update you after that.

I have a Carter bbs carburetor and for some reason when it switches from fast idle to normal idle, the rpm does not drop. Looking at the screws closer I noticed that the idle screw is not even touching anything. Screwing it whole way in does not help either. What could be the reason?

What a view and nice duster! Have you had any use for studded tires there in Alaska? Some clubs organize winter cruisings here:)

Thanks! Going with a reproduction seems to be the way to go with lower price and newer plastic...

Thanks! I guess I'm luck that my old man was always the cheap sort and never changed a thing in the car... I just wish that these things wouldn't rot so easily here in north. So jelous of some of the cars I've seen here with the orignal paint and no rust.

Thanks! Lots of true old-school mopar people here:) That looks like a fine replacement!

Thanks! It was nice to find this forum since the local community is quite small and in-active. In fact, there was only ~100 registered Valiants/Dusters in the entire country last year..

Hello everybody! Great to join this community. Got my old man's car just last fall and started working on it this spring. He got it new and drove it until 2011. Since then it sat in his garage. Looking forward to get into the world of A-bodies with this beauty and contribute to this forum!

Looking for a replacement washer bottle to my Duster with manual pump.
