rumblefish's Duster project

Late to respond, but your welcome dartly.

I've been fighting to get the time to do something on it. Well;
I got the driveshaft cut and installed. Though I promtly broke a bolt in the rear yoke while putting on the straps. (GREAT!!!!!!!)
Started it up after replaceing very fouled plugs (on both cars no less) to check trans fluid level. (Jury still out, ran out of time)
However, that took alot of time due to the carb flooding up and over the top. Took it apart twice. Replace a float that sank, then rebend the float so it shuts off the fuel flow.
Swapped out a couple of metering rods, but was interupted by the float problem. If I'm home tomorrow day, I'll try to tune it up a tad. I really want to weld in the 02 bung to help out some.

Emptied the rad of (Just) water and added antifrezze to the mix. Last couple of days has been getting to a low of 37. Thats just 5*'s above the frezze zone and fair warning to do something before it becomes to late.

Stopped to cobble up a homemade heat stove for the headers on the MAgnum. Simple bending up of metal into a "U" shape to form the stove. I'll cut slits in the legs of the "U" and run a strap through it to hold it up and inplace. A 2 inch hole for the flexable pipe to the air cleaner. Presto, good to go.
