Hello From Ontario, Cananda!
Wow, Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I'm sure I've met some of you before. "pettybludart" told me about this site when he came over to buy some 8-3/4 axle parts I had for his new Dart Project. Special thanks to him! I'll try to reply to most of the questions in this post. Here's a bit of background of me and the Duster. I bought the car for $600 as an insurance "write off". I was still in high school at the time. High school, is actullay where I found my first part. I needed a
passenger side door. Somebody was driving an old Duster as a winter beater. I swapped doors with this guy in a snow storm in the school parking lot. This is when I became aware that I was into this hobby for the long haul. With 5 years of grinding, welding, painting, blood, sweat, and tears, it was on the road.
-Originally a 340 auto. Y1 paint code.
Car specs: (currently)
-360 Block (police inerceptor)
-TRW flat top forged pistons
-Aluminum Heads RPM's
-comp cam 280H
-727 Trans.

-3.55 sure grip

-Aluminum Wheels

This project never ends!
Thanks,
Mark
