factory aluminum trunk lid... check this out

I've also read that they used an aluminum trans mount/cross member, the aluminum intake (as mentioned), and the case of the A-833 OD was aluminum as well.
The reports I read said that with the 4spd OD and 2.90 rear gears, the cars were good for 36mpg highway.

I'd love to find a hood and decklid for my '73... If I was anywhere near St. Louis, I'd have that one.

The 76 Feather I had used a steel trans X member and had a 3.21 8.25, it did have an aluminum 1 barrel intake and aluminum case 833od, the fenders weighed the same as standard Duster fenders. I drove it daily for a few months before swapping in a 360/833 and got 24-25mpg with the /6.

I parted it in '98 because it wouldn't go thru emissions and held onto the hood/decklid/bumper 'til 04-05 and sold them to Myron :wave:, it was the B5 blue set.
