Good idea - thanks.

Hi All: The driver's door hinges on my 1974 Duster are in need of a rebuild job. I'd like to send them out to Mopar Leo, but first I have to remove the door, which I've never done before. Can you do this by yourself, or do you need another guy to help? How hard are the bolts to remove? They've...

They don't make one for my car. Thanks for the recommendation, though.

The paper tire pressure decal on the driver's door jamb of my 1974 slant six Duster is a really crappy repop. Every time it gets wet it deteriorates some more. Does anyone know if somebody repops these decals in vinyl? I've had excellent luck with vinyl decals but can't seem to find this decal...

Well, the saga continues. Bought a NOS Mopar thermostat with the correct part number on the box one e-Bay. Lo and behold, when it gets here, it is, in fact, the correct box with the correct part number (according to my 1974 factory parts manual). Upon opening however, I discover a 1970 160...

Got it - thanks!

Yeah, I will definitely check it on the stove before I install it.

Great - thanks all!

Hi all: I've had terrible luck with my recent thermostat purchases for my 1974 slant six Duster. They run too cold, erratically, or whatever. This includes NAPA Premium and Stant Super Stat brands. None of them seem to work right, regardless of the price. I bought a nice NOS one on e-Bay, p/n...

MoBros and MoSis': I should probably know this, but I'm puzzled by the "conditioning" mode of my battery charger. Maybe you can explain it to me. My 1974 slant six Duster has a new 450 CCA absorptive glass mat battery, which is a fantastic battery. Really cranks the old gal over! Anyhow, I...

I placed a jumper wire from the wiper ground strap to the battery negative post, then tried the wipers. They still don't park.

Yes it is.

Any ideas as to why the wipers on my 1974 Duster just stop in place when I turn them off, instead of "parking"? The 3 speed motor has been professionally rebuild, as have all the linkages and wiper arms. All wiring looks good. Has the original wiper switch. Ideas?

Yes, still leaked just as bad, unfortunately.

Hi All: Are you one of the many who have persistent rear main or front seal leaks in your slant six engine? Seems like whatever you try, it never works long term. So how about this: Instead of engine oil going all over your garage floor and smearing back on the underside of your car, how 'bout...
