72 Duster Resurrection

Do those plugs have gaskets on the bottom? They are not supposed to have them. When you replace them, take the supplied gaskets off or dont install any loose gasket: the spark plug tubes create the plug gasket on the bottom. Make sure you got that voltage regulator bolted down onto some CLEAN metal and even use a star washer to get some good contact. The E-regulator varied the ground to the alternator instead of the + voltage of old for more of a fail safe operation and the ground it varied was delivered through that case. As for ehgrinding noise, I cant really say, but a Chrysler gear reduction starter is no song bird compared to a Ford or Chebby. IF you need a new starter, get a 'mini' one from a newer RAM pickup: Smaller, lighter quieter and more torque!
