smoking 360

Well, I'm picking up where I left off Aug. 26th,

I had my mopar mechanic help me put the intake gasket on correctly with sealer where it's supposed to be. We fired it up and it doesn't smoke nearly as much as before, but still has some smoke coming out. One person asked me if the valve guides, and seals had been replaced. I don't think they were. I'm sure the new rings are cast iron. I was shown the cylinders and could see that there were no ridges on them so I don't think a new ring is probably cracked or broken. We bought a lot of parts at Advance Auto in Big Rapids and can probably come up with receipts on new crank shaft and bearings etc.
I've had my mopar friend work on electrical, changing over to electronic ignition. It's running good, but need to make sure that the wires are connected right in order for the alternator to charge the battery correctly. It needs a third gear synchronizer and a little brake work. One person mentioned that to seat the rings good it needs to be run down the road under a load. It's only been run on jack stands for a period of a few hours.
I am going to try to find a Michigan mopar forum and see if anyone in Michigan might be interested in buying it the way it is. We've got too much sweat and blood into this and need to see what we can get for it. POS Dakota, if you are interested, get in touch with me. My wife says we have at least 15,000. into the Duster including the 900. we paid for it. We don't expect to get anywhere near that, but want to get what we can.
