    Best Carter 4 Barrel Carburetor for a stock 273?

    Carter only? 500 cfm Competition Series. Next up would be a stock 340 AVS, or the 600/625 C.S., especially if you're going to run anything more than a stock cam. Eddy and Holley would give you more and newer choices. Good Carter cores are getting harder to find.

    Fuel pump eccentric problem

    Depends on the original application of the cupped washer- I know of at least 3 different depths that were used. Deepest was on the LA 318/360 roller cam engines. They were the deepest because they used a long snout cam and no fuel pump eccentric. Middle depth is a "normal" LA motor with long...

    73 duster jack handle mounting

    This is a '75 Swinger, but it should be the same as your Duster. Slide the jack handle through the loop on the spring, then slide it into the loop welded to the trunk floor. The lug wrench end then sits in the notch of the lower jack saddle with the wrench end pointed up. Then sit the jack in...

    Can front disc brake swap work with OEM wheels?

    Check the classifieds on this site. For instance: [FOR SALE] - Kelsey Hayes SBP Brake package Nothing fits like factory stuff. Won't fit some early non-disc wheels, but will fit your factory '72 sbp wheels.

    Tightness of Seat Belt Bolts?

    The carpet cushions it on the bottom, and I see no reason a thin rubber or nylon washer couldn't be used on the top if needed.

    Carb Advice

    Sounds like your throttle shafts are worn out and need to be rebushed- is there any up-and-down or back-and-forth movement to the shafts? Worn throttle shafts would explain the fuel drips, and when running is just a big vacuum leak- which may be part of your idle issues. Instead of replacing...

    Tightness of Seat Belt Bolts?

    Seat belts use "shoulder bolts". The belt bracket fits to the shoulder, so the bolt gets tightened all the way and the belt can still pivot. The shoulder length varies, since some points get 2 belts attached to the bolt (center passenger position in the rear, for example). So any bolts you...

    1967 barracuda bucket seat adjust

    The risers on there look like they're, what, 3-4" tall? Looks like it would be easy enough to unbolt the risers from the sliders and attach something like 2" angle in place of them, drilled to the original floor holes, and gain yourself a couple inches of headroom. (Borrowed pictures, so...

    How strong is a T-5 transmission?

    T-5 Bellhousing Adapter Plate For Slant Six | gillwelding It says for slant 6, but there's no reason it couldn't be used on a small block bellhousing. I think this is what @RustyRatRod 's using for his T-5, so he may have some first-hand experience with it.

    How strong is a T-5 transmission?

    slantsix.org had an excellent writeup going over the differences between all the different versions of the T-5 called "The definitive all your questions answered T5 T-5 5 speed To Slant 6 Transmission Swap Guide"- However the link now appears to be dead; as a matter of fact I can't connect to...

    How strong is a T-5 transmission?

    Asked my smart-*** Ford buddy what he thought of the T5s, and all he said is "They last until they blow up. Sweep it up and get another one." Hmph. Ford guys.

    Slant 6 stroker?

    There was this floating around the Internet a few years back. Supposedly a cut/weld job with 2 Gen 3 hemi heads... lots of speculation of whether it was real or not.

    squeaky belt(s)

    Yes, they could be too loose. They need to have about 1/2" deflection. If they're tight enough and still squeal, replace 'em (with GOOD belts- cheapos can squeal when brand new...). Belt dressing is just a temporary band-aid.

    I was checking on a rattle on the right rear.

    That could've gotten ugly in a hurry.

    Barn find dart

    Here in the states, some states don't title older cars, in which case a bill of sale suffices. Check with your local licensing body for what may be required.

    Barn find dart

    Yes, you gotta get under it and see what the frame and torsion bar/transmission crossmember looks like. And which rear end is under it- an 8.75 could make it worthwhile as a parts car even if the rest of the car is trash, but it all affects the price. I get paranoid about that kind of stuff...
  24. Professor Fate

    FAIL right out of the package.

    If the price is right, I don't mind if they're used- as long as they work! Kinda like me: old, used, a little beat up and maybe not real pretty- but still (semi) functional! :lol:

    400 into 73 v8 duster using stock mounts

    Yeah, the early C body driver's mount can be made to work on the '67-'72 K frames, but not aware of anything for the '73 and up cars that doesn't involve slicing and dicing.

    400 into 73 v8 duster using stock mounts

    Nope. Even the Schumacher swap mounts require some cutting and reworking of the K member mounts in order to work. If that's too expensive for you, wait until you get a load of what you'll need to pay for headers... and oil pan... etc. If you insist on making your own mounts, bolt it all...

    74 Dart Sport Front Seatbelt

    An ad in the "parts wanted" section. You may even find the right color for your interior. Aftermarket ones won't match the rest of your belts, so unless you replace the whole set I would try my luck at finding a nice used one first.
