Diff rebuild kit and Rear wheel bearings for the explorer 8.8, Engine mounts and a new water pump for the 318,
Started with the water pump today, which then let me fit all the ancillaries,

cleaned up the engine mount brackets and put the new mounts on.

I was originally planning on ditching the AC and running a set of gilmours, but I can’t make them work with the PS, and I’m not willing to ditch that for now. So I figured if the PS stays then the AC may as well too!

still need to get a new harmonic balancer, and I’m taking the belt pulleys to work to run through the turbowash, I’ll get them cleaned up, painted and mounted so I can work out belt alignments etc.
Looking good! @Jim Kueneman has some really good info on rebuilding your AC system and just about anything else for a 72 Plymouth Duster. Check out his threads.
