Hemi Swapping a perfectly good 70 Duster
I updated my build thread with this information, but I figured I'd put it here as well.
Earlier in this thread I mentioned I failed an O2 sensor. Well, the second one didn't last long either. As it turns out, the bungs I used were only 1/2" tall which put the tip of the sensor into the exhaust flow. This caused the sensor to overheat and fail. I've been wanting the dual sensor gauge so I have some info on both banks. Instead of buying another new sensor and bung, I just ordered the gauge. It comes with both sensors and the correct 1" bungs. This setup is working great. I've been messing with the fuel table and it's running pretty darn good. This thing really turns on above 3500 and cruises like a stock motor down low.
Also for those not following my build thread, I started a podcast to talk to people with autocross/road race cars. It isn't a Mopar specific show so don't get but hurt and boycott me for talking to Ford and Chevy guys.
In episode 5, I discuss my problems that I have outlined here. Episode 6 is a Mopar for the die hards.
