    70 Duster Starter Noise

    My 70 Duster (340, auto, Mopar electronic ignition, one year old battery, one year old Napa starter) generally gives me no problems. It has about 3000 miles on it since it was rebuilt (engine, transmission). The other day I started it and drove it around no problems. I parked it in my...

    70 Duster Starter Relay Voltages

    No, I never tried this because I always see >11 V at the starter when trying to start the car.

    70 Duster Starter Relay Voltages

    I tried unplugging the NSS and then grounding the NSS terminal on the starter relay but this didn't change anything. I have not tried jumping the relay using a screwdriver since I've always seen > 11V on the starter while trying to start the car.

    70 Duster Starter Relay Voltages

    I agree that I don't think the engine is frozen. The battery voltage never drops very much when trying to start it - the load just doesn't appear to be that great. In this whole process I've never measured the battery below 12.0V. I am sure the negative cable to the engine block is good...

    70 Duster Starter Relay Voltages

    I have to put the original starter back in as neither the old nor new one is currently in the car. My original data showed with the battery fully charged and the key in the crank position I had 11.40V on the large starter terminal. I can't find the measurement for the small starter terminal...

    70 Duster Starter Relay Voltages

    I've had this car for 17 years and it has been running the entire time. It has never failed to start before. Just about everything mechanical in the drivetrain is new or has been replaced. I have checked the grounds and rechecked them, everything appears to be well grounded, but I will take...

    70 Duster Starter Relay Voltages

    I have not tried to turn the motor over by hand. The starter was not flopping around on the bolts when I removed it. I don't think anything is seized up. It didn't feel jammed when I removed it and has never previously made any unusual noises when starting. The voltage on the starter when...

    70 Duster Starter Relay Voltages

    OK, now I'm seriously stuck. In going through things I discovered that the 40A fusible link was failing such that occasionally it would turn on the lights weakly but that's about all. So, I replaced that, thinking it was the problem but it wasn't. Tried 3 different fuses with the same...

    70 Duster Starter Relay Voltages

    After 17 years of no starting problems I now can't start my 70 340 automatic Duster. I have looked at a lot of these threads to know how to debug this. One thing I haven't seen are what the starter relay voltages are supposed to be. Here's what I measured on mine: Battery is 12.67V with no...

    Rallye Wheel Stamp

    I have stock 14" rallye wheels on a '70 Duster. The back of the wheels are stamped with a letter D in the center of the wheel - no other letters or numbers. I've looked everywhere to try and figure out what this D represents. Does anyone know what this D means on the back of a 14" rallye...
