This is my first car. Saw one at the volo auto museum when i was 14 and started saving. I bought it not running as soon as i turned 16. 318/904 8 1/4. First i blew up the 904. then the 318 started to shoot fire because the timing chain was so stretched out. only on decel. though it was cool...
Does anybody know of anybody that can give me an appraisal on a duster within an hour of the west suburbs of Chicago? preferably someone who is firmiliar with the value of high-performance/pro-street type stuff. my car is insured for what my short block is worth at the moment. Any help in the...

I dont have the cam specs here at school but the exaust is 3.5 inch dumps with some race flowmasters. you can hear the open headers bbc drowns me out...until I get on it.
Thanks thats a nice car. I myself am pondering that stripe. I hate how much my paint got beat up last season though from racing. The motor is a 72 400 block from a van or something the 230 casting 400blocks have pretty decent main webbing. We cnc'd it for billet steel side bolt mains like the...
Hello everyone, just thought I'd post an update of where my car is at right now. I got a lot of good info off this site in the four years it took me to get this car together on a very very low budget while I was in college. I'm not sure if anyone remembers me posting progress pics but here is a...
Anyone have the part number for the correct turn signal light socket that 1/4 turns into a sharks tooth grille. I got a stock harness and they dont fit so Im just going to go right to the part number.
Thanks,
joe
no those arent bad. Im not sure the value but I know if you pay to have them oven cleaned and magged at an engine shop buyers wont need to be weary of cracks and they will never know how rusty they were.
alright when i go home from school this weekend ill snap pics of my grille and trim. im pretty sure my grille mounts are just broken off and im going to have to modify a perfectly good sharks tooth...
well its a street and strip car and its painted already so dzusing was out. I think dzus fasteners are great but to me they belong on full out race cars not my roll bar pump gas street car. I made really strong hood pin mounts and as long as I dont have any issues with the hood flying off Ill be...
i think I was mistaken my grille might just have the tabs cracked off that have the slotted hole to put those plastic plug grill mounts through. I thought that was a seperate piece that screwed into the chrome trim to mount the grille. back to the drawing board.
I dont mean to hijack threads but why 6 pins? Ive seen most lift off hoods with 4 pins so I just set up my fibo lift off 6 pack hood with 4 moroso pins and its all stainless and i like the way it looks. it doesnt seem like its about to come flying off or anything but should i be worried?
So I had trouble mounting my ST grille and a member got a pic for me to show me what i was missing. Im having alot of trouble finding one without a grille and the car isnt orginal so i decided ill just make one close to it but I cant find a picture of one or anything online. I circled the piece...
I have a sharks tooth with trim but i dont have the long aluminum (or plastic) trim piece. if someone has this or a complete grille let me know via EMAIL as i might not check back here. [email protected] Thanks and help is appreciated. -joe
i have the chrome that fits over the top and bottom grille lips thats flow into the chrome headlight buckets. but in the picture the piece right under that inback of the grille is what i need. so your saying the regular grille will have that piece also? I guess ill put it up on parts wanted
no the search didnt help. Thats all thats sopposed to hold the grille in? I dont have that aluminum part that the long grille trim screws into thats my problem. Who makes that?
I bought my 72 duster rolling chassis all taken apart but two sharks tooth grills came with it. I am pretty sure this is not the grill that came off the car and i dont have any of the mounting hardware for it. If someone can snap some pics that would be awsome otherwise if someone can give me a...
how do you go about using a vaccuum bleeder? ive never even seen one and I cant seem to get a bubble out by my master cylinder. Im problably going to pick up one of those vacuum bleeders if they work that well.
yea it really is worth it. heres a pic of my main setup. If you dont think that ties in the main structure much better than a girdle your taking crazy pills.
