Hi Everybody,
I know this is an old post but wanted to revive a little bit with an update. I moved across the country and waiting on house closing and got hit with covid, So here I am. A few months ago I spent an entire week getting the car driveable. I fixed the old 3310 holley and put back on...
I have not posted here for quite sometime but wanted to chime in with a little experience from my swap. Sorry I havent had the time to read entire replies so if I repeat info forgive me. 1974 duster original /6 auto. I used a stock 440/727 from a one ton truck. Schumacher mounts, 26 inch...
Thanks guys, I will hopefully get to do some work on it this weekend. I will take some picks and figure out how to upload. Even the front two bolt holes are the same width as stock buckets.
Hi All,
I have a 74 duster that I am putting 2003 Durango power seats. The mounting is pretty straight forward. I have looked over the schematic for the seats and appear to need 12 volts to all 4 pins in. Then the polarity will be changed in the switch. Am I seeing this correct. My second...
Hi Everybody,
Was able to dedicate some time to the car today. Rebuilt the 750 DP and got that working correctly and not really dumping fuel. Changed plugs and cranked distributor way around. Finally found the sweet spot and it really sounded great. Cant believe it fired. Thanks to all for the...
Did a little work on it the other night. Had a good 750 DP holley that sat for 3 years and tried it. Only had a little time. Well, resulted in a small fire and a stuck float. Damnit, I need to leave it on the back burner till I can dedicate time to it.
Thanks for all the replies everybody. I am going to have to put this thing on the back burner due to family at the moment. dart 273 thanks for the calls and advice.
I am in Northern CDA like you. Sorry about slow replies have to take care of kiddos this morning. I checked spark by pulling coil wire and a wrench about 3/4 an inche away and has good yellow snap to it. Then pulled no 8 plug and used it grounded and got strong spark there as well. Cant get back...
To Gary in AZ thanks I will check again. I have been out of the game for awhile as I just retired from the Army and came home. What I did when I pulled the motor from the truck was to be certain everything went back exactly how it was when running in the truck. I pulled motor and then the heads...
I marked the distributor before I pulled it so it is in the exact spot it was when it ran before. I have moved retarded and advanced but it either pops back through the carb or exhaust. It seems to want to run right where it is at. I am getting a good shot of clean fuel through the carb. I am...
Thanks All for the replies. I have checked spark through the distributor to a spark plug end with a spark plug grounded and have good spark. I have done plenty of pumping and cranking. It is getting good fuel to it. Going to try another set of plugs and check cranking voltage drop. Stumped.
