1974 Duster
More work on the Duster tonight- Installed the original booster (yay! no more dragging brakes!) much happier with the finish on this one, much closer to OEM.
Sprayed it with a "chrome" paint from wal-mart first as a primer then used Eastwoods Cad paint, finished with gloss clear. Still not correct but much closer to stock and the finish changes as you look at it from different directions.
Blasted the washer nozzles and seat belt relay and painted. The finish on the relay is a touch brighter than OEM but not too bad. Found a heat stove hose local for $8! Sure beats the $40 they are going for on Ebay! Pulled the carb spacer to move the air cleaner away from the hood. Bumped the timing 4 degrees. Need to modify the vacuum can so there is less advance at light throttle.
Still lots of detailing work to do, but the car has come a long way!
