Now that 4 cylinder prototype in 1986 the Interceptor M4S was pretty cool. A 440hp twin turboed 2.2 liter motor. Too bad they never capitalised on it. Those Z cars weren't horrible. They just reminded me too much like the fox body mustangs. Like I tell my son: "You may think they're ugly and...

These "gems" are a hoot! Now the Aussie's had the their cool looking Chrysler Valiant Chargers until 1978:

+1 Yep! Agreed... The "supposed" replacements for our A-bodies was the F-bodies... We all know what happened there. Then came the K-cars... And the 1980-1989 M-bodies such as the Diplomats had "some" potential as sleepers... Ugly sleepers IMO. Then the 1980's Turismo/Shelby chargers... Umm...

I remember one of the members of a local Jeep forum putting a 4.6L stroker in his rock crawling wrangler, Lets put it this way, he was able to easily keep up with or even did better than the chevy V8 CJ's and even the dodge V8's. There was one oddity that did really good too: A 1977 Jeep...

On their website they advertise gains of about 25 hp and 24-34 foot lbs over stock. Jeep stock specs are 190 hp and 225 foot lbs of torque (235 lbs for 2001-2006 models) Aluminum Cylinder Heads - Jeep 4.0l Inline Six - Performer - Edelbrock, LLC.

Funny how some of the 4.2 and 4.0 parts can be interchanged and be made into 4.5-4.7L strokers. I had a 1992 Jeep Cherokee once. One of the most reliable motors I've ever owned. Sold to a buddy at 250k miles. Who then gave it to his son and then in turn he sold it to a friend of his... The thing...

I just did a 1300 mile anniversary road trip in my duster a few weeks ago. Average mileage at about 72-74 mph was about 16.4 mpg. Empty mountain backroads at 55-60 mph I averaged up to 17.5 mpg. The worst mileage I got was about 14.67 mpg going from about 5000 feet above sea level to over 12000...

Welcome aboard anyways!

I would offer 500-700 as well. Body panels is one thing... Its when there is rot in the floors and subframes that it starts to get sketchy.

This I like... Some old school discipline! If the splitting wood wasn't enough maybe the business end of a 12 gauge pointing at you will make you rethink your life choices.

I now get most of my stuff from Summit (if I can't get it locally). It's also nice since they have a warehouse in around Las Vegas area. I order from them on a Thursday night (payday!) I get them Friday afternoon. All weekend to play! I've used Rockauto maybe once or twice a year, what turned me...

Ok, not sure about this but are those rubber hoses coming out of the master cylinder? I'm no brake expert, but I think I wouldn't feel comfortable seeing that.

Article is meh... I agree with the others when they say its mainly the nut behind the wheel. I drove my duster when it started to snow a couple of months ago. I drove better then half the people out there with their "modern" cars. I have manual steering and manual disc brakes. Everyone seem to...

If it was me I would snag it! But then I have kinda of a soft spot for those old power wagons, panel wagons, carryalls and such. How about the 42' Wagon Carryall?

I know a few guys from the Dodge Ramcharger forums have stated these as the ancestors to the Dodge Ramcharger / Plymouth Traildusters Here's a 1959 These things are kinda cool lookin'! There was one for sale here, a yellow 59' that used to be belong to an old military contractor (In...

Oh jeez, that certain AC/DC song comes to mind.

Very nice! I like the color! I dunno what it is with these trucks. Both Chevy and the Dodge powerwagons. I see them and I just like em'. Of course I've owned three 1980's era Dodge truck (1983,84 & 1988 ) that weren't much different from the 1970's power wagons. I'm still going to get a...

Just a little curious, what was the duster's f/r weight distribution? Was it any better than the mustang?

Dunno, I did see something like this on a truck I worked on sometime ago some where. Somehow I can't recall... Sorry All kidding aside, it is a possible smog component of some sort, maybe ignition.

https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/images/transpurple100.png Is what I got for the water temp sender.

Dakotas much lighter than Dusters and aspen/volares? Dunno about that, if anything they are about the same weight if not slightly heavier. A 96 single cab shortbox dakota with a 2.5L 4 cyl weighs approx. 3042 lbs An 01 is even heavier at about 3300+ lbs with the same 2.5L motor. As for my...

Justin Figgatt. He's now on a Plymouth Duster FB (Facebook) page. According to his timeline, he got a fairly new truck recently.

Yep... #2 on my list... #1 is an E-body Barracuda and #3 is the 1968-70 Roadrunner #4 1968-69 Mercury Cyclone I saw one in a show last year and I was instantly drawn to it. Sadly it bumped the Chevelle off the #4 spot. Speaking of which, I love cougars... I married one :love5:

Huh?

10W-30 Amsoil Synthetic or VR-1 10W-30 With an Amsoil Filter or Bosch/Purolator filter. Yep My father's an Amsoil Dealer so I always get a good deal. :-):coffee2:

I learned a long time ago that Hulk-smashing things to make stuff fit is not an economical way to make aftermarket parts fit. "Me bash steel, make puny glass hood thing fit!" You are now left with messed up metal panels that you have to straighten and smooth out. Not only that, you are now...

Oh sure, a square peg "can" fit in a round hole with enough "coaxing".

I gotta ask. Do you have a room filled with 8 feet tall bookshelves of archived hot-rodding encyclopedias and magazines? Lol!

:happy1: :pottytra:

NICE! first time heard of this song from Steppenwolf :thumblef: Here's some Kenny Wayne Sheppard, who's also a fellow A body owner: http://youtu.be/e4pbuMcPhV0 http://youtu.be/_RLPcptf1qM http://youtu.be/lG_ZHtFxQ8w
