Didn't hey a chance to do anything yesterday, due to a dentist appt right in the middle of the day.. Really trying to take advantage of some time off tho. Headed out to the shop about 11 this morning.. I still had a little welding left to do on the pass side frame connector and little cleanup...

Someone from England is considering making a bid to purchase my Valiant. I wonder how much he/she would have to pay to ship it there from California. Anyone have experience with the cost of such an arrangement? Thank you, just curious for now (shipping responsibility of the buyer).

Hello all, I'm curious if any A-body bracket racers on here are using starting line enhancers. I'd like to see how you modified your accelerator pedal, throttle linkage (morse cable?) and throttle linkage bracket/solenoid mounting on the engine intake. Most of what I have seen online is...

Yeah but doing what kind and how much driving? Have you actually measured the Ackerman or toe change? The way most people use these cars it would be pretty easy not to notice fairly significant bump steer and Ackerman issues.

I have for sale a very nice rear view mirror for the 72-76 A-body and the 72-74 E-body cars. The casting number on the base is 3695431. The mirror is very nice and is an excellent driver quality piece. I would like to get $20.00 for it plus the shipping. Ken Edison, NJ

I have for sale 2 turn signal levers with the bolts for the 67-72 cars. They are both in excellent shape with no issues that I can see. I would like to get $10.00 each plus the shipping. Ken Edison, NJ

I’m not above admitting I’m wrong. Too dark to look under both 69s I have, maybe tomorrow, both are 9” 7-1/4s. If only 3 years I imagine they’re hard to find.

I've got new upper and lower ball joints that I purchased on eBay back in 2010 in a front end rebuild kit. Don't know the brand, but they seem to be very good quality. The balls are tight, and I see no plastic anywhere on the joint when I move the ball. Is there a way to determine if they are...

I don’t mean to poop in your cheerios but that’s a 260-280hp combo at best. And unless you are very good (read: precise) at setting up the valvetrain there’s no way it’s going to spin “7000+”, and there’d be no reason to spin it that high anyway because with a 216@050 cam on 318 inches it’ll be...

Its really nice to have a vise outside the shop. Heating things seem so much safer too. Doesn't stink up the shop.

Thank you

This was the other way, not that it made any difference. here it's not connected to the shifter

Here's some fairly current pictures of mine.

I was thinking that, but the "leave" part is not very thick even if I remove it, I was just worried it may weaken the torsion bar crossmember down below.

thank you for the replies they are single square groove 440 Cid (3/8) Intake Valve Head Diameter: 2.080 Stem Diameter: 3/8 Overall Length: 4.875 Tip Length: 0.290 References: 12 Degree Super Flo 440 Cid (3/8) Exhaust Valve Head Diameter: 1.74 Stem Diameter: 3/8 Overall Length: 4.91 Tip...

Not sure, but it was mentioned to leave his status as active so people can still comment on his threads.

Since all the magazines seem to have disappeared, here's my car on Lou Costabile's My Car Story vlog:

I don't think it is supposed to be above that leave part. Actually I don't think that leave part is supposed to be there at all.

Roger that.

Very cool. I have the numbers matching block in mine, but not the transmission. Here is the thread I started years ago about Duster 360 4 speed cars. Post some info and pictures there and I will add you to the tally. How many CURRENT owners of real '74 360 Duster 4 speed cars on here?

I already ordered them but I’ll keep that in mind.

Don't buy at the beach because they get hit a lot with hurricanes, in Florida an hour's drive inland is good but it's not flat terrain in NC which is why western NC faired so badly with that hurricane this year.

$150 for the pair now.

Smaller mains? The main bearings in a 360 are bigger in diameter than the 273,318 and the 340. Melted pistons sounds like a serious detonation problem.

Wow, I worked today, getting the transmission in was a bit of a chore. I did it mainly to spy the transmission linkage, the shifter hump to identify location before welding in place. Reverse, 1/2 clear, but 3/4th do not clear the floor board. Can the rods be bent to make clearance? The middle...

Before you go to epay and spend the $$$ they want for them, go to a couple of local transmission shops and see if they might have them. Before I retired, I should have bought a bunch of these and the shift cable end grommets. Great profit margin in them for sure selling them on epay.

Did you scrape the cam bearings? They can be awful tight

Chunk of culvert. splash of concrete and a forged I beam. Bingo
