Love your posts, keep them coming!!

Wish I knew! I haven't seen many other old Mopars around here and the Lowcountry Mopars club wasn't very responsive a couple years ago when I reached out. That being said, I don't have all that much time to spend wrenching on my car, so my finger isn't exactly on the car club pulse. Still drive...

I love your Duster! What is your wheel/tire size? I've got a stock 8 1/4 and some stiffer leaf springs and yours is exactly what I want mine to look like. Great work you've done!

Nice! Those seats looks great!

Any updates there, Baker? This looks like something I could do to my 318 that needs some love.

Hey Nate, you ever get back on it? Great build, for sure. You got talent!

Looking into shipping options. If I can find something reasonable, I'm interested.

Count another one sold! I'm very interested in your product, seems like you are being very thorough. I wish you'd stop being so selfish and get these kits ready for sale instead of playing with your own car, though ;)

Wow, that's a lot cut out! I guess the HDK front end will keep everything in place while you fab up the tubes? Eager to see what you come up with here. I've got it in mind to build up a 360 turbo for my 74 Duster and do the fab myself. I have adequate fabrication skills, but will be relying...

Subscribed! Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Do you have any process shots of building your headers? I am decent with TIG and am thinking about doing my own turbo set up once I get my hands on a 360.

They should be the same, huh? Well I bought the springs many years ago (was still in high school, actually!) and when they arrived I remember noticing they were different, so put the stiffer spring passenger side. I had to monkey with the torsion bars a good bit just to get it sitting level, but...

Gonna hijack a bit, but I think it's pertinent. I've had the XHD springs on my Duster for about 20k, but the difference in spring rate side to side is just unbearable now. Around left turns, I can't keep the inside wheel from breaking loose and right turns feel like I might capsize. You guys...

Cool, thanks Michael! I think for the most part, my suspension is in good shape, just 37 year old technology. A few years back, I replaced all the bushings up front because they were really shot and I put Mancini XHD leafs on the back, but I'm really not happy with them. The passenger spring...

Great thread and great car, Dusterbd! I used to go to school in Winston, nice little town. I've really enjoyed keeping up with your suspension/brake upgrades. I'm hoping to tear into the suspension on my 74 duster in a couple weeks with the goal of making her handle reaaaal nice. In your...

that paint job is WILD! I love it, do you have more pictures of it somewhere?

That's lookin pretty slick! Maybe you said it and I spaced, but where has the car spent most of its life? The body seems to be a great condition. Call me crazy, but I've always wanted to see a yellow dart with a wide, offset, darkish grey racing stripe on it. I dig the banana yellow.

Man, this is a full service thread! Good story, good pictures, good explanations. I am totally in love with the door handles and will definitely be doing that to mine. Thanks for the laughs and inspiration.

Oh lawdy Now there's a goal.

Check out this thread: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=1175 It's a few years old, but I imagine it could give you a good starting point.

Your balls must be at least twice the size of mine own.

Thanks for the responses everyone! I have checked the wires and they're gravy, looks like the next step will be to pull the plugs on that side and make sure they are not fouled and then run a compression test (which I am afraid to see the results of!). I'll take a look at the headers to be sure...

Question for yous guys. There is a fairly loud pop coming from the driver's side exhaust pipe. It only happens after the car is warmed up and only at idle or slightly above. The pop gets more frequent after I put the hammer down and then return to idle (in the stoplight relay, for example). It's...

Congrats to both! That is a fine looking automobile. Needs a 3rd pedal though...

This is my new favorite thread. Keep it coming guys.

Thanks Tom, The transmission came out of a Volare, so it is an A/F body model. I was hoping to avoid removing the bellhousing, because I have full length headers that I predict will make that I big ole PITA (getting them on sure as **** was); hence wanting to machine the retainer rather than...

Alrighty, so I picked up a 1976 A-833OD unit today and plan on swapping it into my 1974 318/A-230 combo. As I understand it, the 230 has a 4.8" IBR while my new unit has a 5.125" (giggity) IBR. My first question is, can I simply take the 230 IBR off and slap it on my 833? If not, I assume I can...

An ecu solved my problems. Despite getting the proper voltage and resistance readings and ensuring good grounds, the ECU turned out to be the culprit.

I've been having the exact same issue. Car was stubborn starting one morning, then later that day required a jump (kept trying to fire it up until the battery was dead), but after the jump fired right up. Haven't gotten it started since, jump or no jump. I have power where I need it, have...

I'll check out the radiator. Oil looks clean from the dipstick... I would think a blown head gasket would really dampen the low down power and it seems like the liquid would resemble antifreeze a little closer; but I've no experience with blown head gaskets. Thanks for the input!

I have a 74 318 with 120k on the motor. About 15-20k ago, I put on new full length headers, 2.25 dual exhaust (no x-over) with some summit mufflers, eddy air gap, eddy 650, and replaced the timing chain. I recently got the car out of storage and drove it about 500 miles to North Carolina and it...
