Looking to sell my Duster. PM me for details if interested. I'm located on Kent Island, MD. Looking for 20k OBO. Thanks. 1972 Plymouth Duster 340. All numbers matching engine and drive train. Very original car. Vehicle Specs: Real H-code 340 car Painted factory formal black (TX9) w/correct...

I hear ya. It's been weeks since I've heard back from a few vendors myself. If they don't want my business, I move on to the next one. There are plenty out there. Like @toolmanmike stated, the fuel filter was originally secured using Oetiker clamps, which can be a little difficult to find...

My local True Value hardware store carries some of the smaller sizes. Same gold plating as the reproduction clamps. I think they are the 'Hillman' brand.

I may be interested. PM sent.

Thanks for all the replies! Just one more thing I was concerned with...Is it necessary to loosen any of the pan bolts when re-installing the cover? Just don't want to cause any more leaks. Also don't want to run the risk of warping the pan if I don't have to. Thanks!

Yeah, I tend to agree. I may just end up buying a new one. When installing the cover, should I use some sort of long spacers (with the bolts) in place of the wp and let the sealer/gasket set up. Then once the sealers is done curing, remove the wp bolts/spacers, install the water pump and...

My plan was to use an aviation glue in addition to the gasket. You think just red RTV with work?

Getting ready to replace my timing chain cover due to a leaking gasket. Picked up a used one anticipating heavy corrosion behind my current cover. The used one I picked up is in great shape, hell its even date code correct! But after cleaning it up, I noticed the block mating surface isn't...

Dave, I figured this is what you had going on. I'm sure the new disk set up must be world of difference. I think you got very lucky that double flare worked. It probably would have leaked for me knowing my luck. I just went to the parts store and picked up a new 3/16" line with 2 European...

Here is another ebay listing of the line in question. NOS MOPAR 1973 DART, VALIANT FRONT WHEEL CYLINDER BRAKE LINE NIB!! | eBay Mine looks exactly like this. This particular line was manufactured in '76. This is even got what appears to be the same bends. You can see that the end with...

Cast number on the wheel cylinder is 3461514. Did a quick search and found this ebay listing... Mopar NOS Frt.Whl.Cylinders 10" & 11" Brakes Lt.& Rt. 70-72 V.B.J.L.R.W.P.D.C.

That's what I thought. What's weird is I ordered a new replacement from rock auto and the cylinder bore is set up the same way. It's concave to accept a bubble flare.

Dave, I know I'm a little late to the party, but I know exactly what you mean. I'm currently running into the exact same problem, so I did a search and just now came across this thread... Just to give you a little background, I've got a '72 340 4 speed duster with a manual 4 drum set up...

Thanks for the heads up on these. Looks like a very nice unit. Definitely something I'll consider.

Looking to replace my master cylinder. A little confused on which one to get. Was going to order one from Classic Industries, but they don't list a stock mc for 10" brakes for '72 (just 73 and up). My car still has the original 4 wheel drum set up. Manual front and rear 10" brakes sbp with...
