    Putting up a shop in CA - fire department being a pain

    I agree they are bending the rules as the shop is not a dwelling. The requirements for the driveway should have been addressed by the fire dept in the pre approval. I'm curious how you got an approved permit without this addressed .

    Don't know what motor to swap in.

    73 duster slant six. I can't decide which way to go for a motor swap. I have a 318 block I could 390 stroke, find a 360 which seems to run 600-1000 for a stock engine with questionable past, or I can buy 440 motorhome engines usually with trans and low miles for $500 all day long. Anything I buy...

    That was the singleost horrifying experience ever!

    Front glass installed today, that front lock strip ain't no joke! Of course to get the glass in I had to have fun with the wiper linkages and reinstall the dash.

    Charcoal canister, help me understand.

    I have a clear filter before the carb, and the gas siphons back once the car is turned off. It will run off the bowl, then stall. Usually have to crank for a while, id say up to 20 seconds before getting fuel back to the carb. Not sure if the capped purge on the canister is causing this or a...

    73 duster 225, one line runs to carb vent, Holley 1920, one to tank vent, and the purge line is capped off. Where is the purge line supposed to go? Manifold vacuum? Teed into the ported manifold line running to the distributor? The factory emissions controls has been deleted by me but I bought...

    Fixing botched paint job?

    So the 600 is really working well to smooth it out and overall I think I'm in better shape than I thought. I do have some sand through on edges and a couple thing spots but I think if I hit the thin spots with primer, a touch up gun, resand, and apply 2-3 more coats I should be good. I really...

    Fixing botched paint job?

    Yes there are spots with not enough coverage and spots where I try to wet sand the rough texture and get down to the primer. I still have a gallon of the single stage left as I bought two gallons because I knew I would probably need extra.

    Fixing botched paint job?

    I painted my duster with summit single stage performance yellow paint and have many areas of thin paint and lots of orange peel. I am NOT a painter lol.

    Another 318 set up

    Dan you'd probably be happy with a sweet sounding dual exhaust and a properly running bone stock engine. After that I'd do rear gears to 3.55, then engine and torque converter
