Finally getting to it!!! 1970 Duster 340

View attachment 1715286215 I have the day off and I plan to spend most of it working on the Duster. My Bilstein's arrived this week....they're going on. Received my restored hood latch from Stephan Fournier at SF Restorations in Canada. I have to tell you that he did a fabulous job. It's a shame that most of it will be covered up by the grill.
I've been trying to decide on where to get my exhaust system. I would like the system to look as stock as possible without laying out mega bucks for NOS pieces. I spoke with Accurate yesterday and I was surprised to find that they don't have mufflers for A bodies that have a crushed rear edge. They told me that was only a B body thing but that is not true. NOS Mopar A body mufflers have the same crushed corner. It's a shame that ECS doesn't make A body exhaust components.

Example of NOS Mopar over the counter NOS A Body mufflers. These two are dated 1271 or 12th week of 71. Same part number 71-73. Note the indentations outboard for emergency brake cable brackets.
