Hi, Just attempting to install a speedo cable (From Summit) in my 72 Duster (340/727) and found that the screw on fitting that mounts to the trans is smaller that the threaded piece it attaches to. :banghead: Did the threaded fitting vary by year? By vehicle? I ordered the cable for a 1972...

Hey Thanks a lot 6pk2goDemon! I went out to the garage armed with your reply and found the firewall opening and clips on the frame. I appreciate the spot on info you provided. :thumblef: Have a good one, Pat

Hey Crew, Anyone out there able to assist a FABO brother? :???: Thanks again, Pat

Hi Folks, My Duster (72, 340 w/727) was missing the speedo cable when I purchased the car. Finally getting around to installing one, but am wondering where/how the cable should be routed. Any pointers/pics or advice I could use as reference would be appreciated. Thanks, Pat

You rock cudamark. Jacked up 1 side, driveshaft turned 3 1/4 times for 2 (Another source claims that was the way to do it) revolutions of the wheel. So guessing it is a 3:23 as the PO thought. Thanks again, Pat

Thanks for the reply cudamark. I had both wheels off the ground (being an open diff they spun in opposite directions.), and triple checked. Got 1 turn on the driveshaft for every 4 turns of the wheel. :scratch: The ratio seems OK for me, just trying to determine exactly what the ratio is...

Hi Folks, So I was looking at my rearend today (my car's not my fat a$$) and have a couple questions that I am hoping FABO could help with. 727 TF/manual valvebody 742 Open Diff 28" tires 1. The PO said he thought the ratio was 3:23. But while driving the car it seems like the...

x2 Both are reputable brands and you'd do well with either. IMO

Bad o-ring/seal on speedo cable?

Ya and look what happened to the cruise ship LOL! :oops: I agree dodgefreak, I have no problem cruising with it as is ....As I have gotten older, I don't give in to the urge to too get stupid on the street. That's what the track is for. Though in my younger days, I had a tendency to drive...

Thanks for the tip kim...But I'm one of those goof balls that prefers a reverse manual vb. :D Have a good one, Pat

Hey Thanks again Tony! I will definitely check it out. Have a good one, Pat

Thanks for the replies guys. May just talk to a transmission place in town that handles hi-perf work. Depending on what they say, I may just end up driving as it is until I can pop for a new reverse valvebody w/lowband apply. Pat

Hi Folks, Any of you transmission gurus know if lowband applied can be added to a manual valvebody that does not currently have one? My Duster's has a 727 with a reverse manual valve body that does not appear to have the lowband apply. I don't down shift to first when moving, no burnouts in...

Hi BlueCuda. If your have a manual valvebody, you can start out in 2nd. So doing burnouts in 2nd won't be a problem for you. I think the real issue is manual valvebodies that do not have lowband applied, but as Abodybomber noted, there's a ton of info from the experience members. (I know cause I...

Gotta love how effective a good "tuning hammer" can be. I have one myself :D

That is what I did on my Duster. Bolted a B&M Pro-Stick to the 4spd hump and patched the 4 spd opening. I rivoted the patch in place versus welding in case I ever want to put together a 4spd setup. Like the others noted, if you can live without the console, this is very easy and works great...

Huh? You mean there's suppose to be air in the tires? That's the kind of technical know hopw that keeps me coming back to FABO. LOL!

So the PO said the "speedo doesn't work"....guessing this may be the reason....:tard:

This was popular with the dirt track/demo guys way back when...have not seen it done in years.

Great! Good to know. Thanks caferacerx.

Does the entire rearend need to be swapped, or can one just swap in the limited slip/posi internals? I ask because am in the same boat as Mopar2, i.e. open diff.

Thanks for the input 805.

Many thanks StrokerScamp. :salut:

Hello all, New owner of a 72 340 Duster w/a Reverse Manual Valvebody 727. Plans are to make her a capable strip car, with occasional trips to local cruises/shows. I have found many references here on the forum regarding "Low Band" Apply, i.e. good/must have for safety (keeping feet intact)...
