1976 Duster Project DD

Worked on the car a little today. Did the black out treatment, I think it looks a lot better.

Took the valve covers off, only one head had casting numbers on one of the intake runners. But they are 360 heads (well at least one is). Casting number is: 3769974, is this a good head?

So I have a 360 with 360 heads, but a single plane 318 Eddy intake, hmm.

Also after I learned a little but more about this car, it has an earlier duster grill and it doesn't fit right. There are only 4 screws holding it on because no other holes line up. So I'm going to have to figure out something for that. Either find the correct grill or figure out a way to make this .style work. I'm kind of torn because I like both styles of grills.

I checked the master cylinder for rust, when doing so when I pulled the cover off it looked like the cup/gasket thing was on upside down. Should the cups be in the fluid or against the lid? From what it said on the cup/gasket, the cups should be against the lid.

This is the crack that is in the driver side door, just under the rubber piece.
