Also it was a four speed and person before me switched it to an automatic three speed on the floor. Think they were getting it ready to drag it. Has traction bars under it as well.

Yes I changed these part because its been have problems starting and the wires to distributor wasn't fitting snug. Also the coil wire and coil wasn't properly attached and burnt up the connector somehow. Changed those and it cranked. I should've left it alone after that cause it cranked up and...

Ok yeah I got you now. Yes I will try these when I get home. Thanks. Very helpful.

Where is that located? Probably sounds like a dumb question but again I'm new to all this and learning as I go. I know almost nothing about the engine compartment. Usually pay people to work on even my lawnmower. Lol. Tired of paying so much though. Thanks guys. I'll try this

I will have to try these tonight. Work twelve hrs so I'm trying to get as many diff options as possible

Thanks car is nice. Has a lot to be done to it yet. Floor pans doors and glass. Pretty much a total restoration process.

Sorry new to engine work. What do you mean jump across relays? Again sorry I'm just learning what some of these things even are called

No just replaced parts yesterday. Yes I believe it is electronic ignition. Also it's a 318. Nothing happens when I turn the key. That's what I don't understand. A friend told me I might have ground issues as well. I'm gonna check battery later. Last week it was not doing anything with key turned...

I need help guys. Put a new coil spark plug wires and starter relay and now car won't start. It fired right up with old relay after replacing cool and wires but when I switched the starter relay it wouldn't crank. I took pictures and hooked up everything exactly the same and still not even...

Thanks I'll try this tom. Honestly sounds like it's coming right from a header towards the firewall or under the valve cover passenger side. I'll have to get it running again before I can determine where exactly. Thanks

Yes the car is mine lol. Y?

Yeah thanks guys. I think the ticking might be a seal off one of the headers. Put new spark plug wires on tonight and coil. Fired right up. I went to replace the starter relay and now doesn't want to crank. Doesn't even try. I took a picture of it before I started and everything was put in right...

Do u have any pictures and what's the condition

Agreed. I just don't care for the 73 nose. I couldn't pass on the car. I paid 3500 for it.

Hahaha. Yeah definitely that's fine. Let me check on shipping to that area and I'll let u know how much shipping is and we can go from there. Sound good?

Where abouts do u live buddy

Yeah still got it. It's the snorkel scoop. Never sold anything and shipped it. But tell me what u think is fair. It's in pretty good shape. Though the screws weren't correct size you may just want to get new ones. Tell me what u think is fair and it's yours. As long as it covers shipping I...

Sorry didn't know where to post this. Thought there used to be a wanted section. Anyway I'm looking for 72 Duster front end parts. Or Demon. I'm converting my 73 into a 72 for the straighter nose across the front. Having trouble finding hood and front clip

This is my car it's a little dark. Also had a scoop on it but wasn't actually useful as there was no cut out in the hood for air to go through. Just an ornament basically. I removed it filled the holes sanded it and used the same can of rustoleum as rest of car. Good looks way better than the...

Thanks but that attached photo in your reply was what I want mine to look like. Right now mine has that rustoleum spray can primer on it. The person I bought the car from did that apparently. I intend on removing it very soon

Yes right beside it. Nice place down there.

Yeah actually was taught in school by the second highest ranked teacher in the country. First was a guy in Ca. But yes I can do body work and paint and interior. The sewing part sucks but quite cheaper done yourself. Also it's pretty easy to me. Most mechanics find it difficult but it's actually...

That's just from hearing the sound of the motor

Well my gauges aren't working but I'd say just about as fast

Yeah it's no longer gonna be put in the shop. That was a starter point to fix major problems. I do have a ticking coming from motor. Sounds bad. Speeds up ticking when I give it gas. What's your thoughts on that? Could it be Pistons or the lifter arms?

Hahaha. Yeah thought about it. Honestly it was a lot more than that. They put shocks and did a few other things for me as well. I just hate that I spent that much trying to fix the thing and other parts keep breaking and needing replacement. Like I said previously I could've bought a 408 turn...

Yeah i did. I had a major oil leak from the valve covers and the pcv. Had some other things done as well. Now I'm trying to fix little things to keep it running more than a week at a time.

Honestly I have no idea and don't know how to check it. Like I said I'm new to fixing these mechanical things. I'm a paint and body guy. I can get the body looking as straight as it did when it first rolled off a lot but have no idea about how to fix motors and other things. Learning as I go. Ideas?

I'm looking more towards the torque side but more hp would be nice. Right now I get to about 55 or 60 mph and she just doesn't sound like she wants to go any faster. I don't push it too much as I said before it is my daily and don't want it to blow up completely lol.

Good to know. Always heard the 727 was the better trans for muscle. But I'll look into the ford 8.8 and the 904. Thanks.
