I have 73 Duster, which now has a 400hp 360, 727, 8 3/4 that replaced the original 6 cylinder, 904, 7 1/4. It still has the original 6 cylinder torsion bars. It is a daily driver ran occasionally on the track, 13.70's. When two people are in the car, the front rides too low, too cushy, and we...

I noticed a few small bubbles forming underneath the paint of the duster... great. rust. It is in the same spot I had trouble with before, right behind the rear wheel in the bottom corner of the fender. Would I just find where the metal is exposed and spray it with a dense paint or a rust...

I am looking to swap the stock torque converter for a new one in my 360. It all started when a few of the flex plate legs snapped apart, so now the transmission is coming out :cheers: Right now the camshaft is a CompCam 268H, the car weighs 3350-3400lbs, has a 3.23 gear, and I drive it almost...

Just seeing what I can change to get better performance/durability from the spark plugs :) They are Autolite 65's with the copper core. And not to long ago my tech instructor told me to trash the Autolites and get Champion because they were designed for Dodge. The whole thing started when he was...

After learning a bit more about "hopping up" electric r/c cars, I've seen that two different Pinion and Spur gear combinations, with the exact same final drive ratio can actually have a major difference on the motor temperature and performance during runs. Well, how does this all come into...

My window fell out of socket along with a few other side effects, and the cause is a shattered roller type peice. I let me dad type of a description since he's the one who found the problem =D> And our camera is broke at the moment, but I'm sure he wrote more than enough info. "From a 1973...

I recently ran the System Recovery that my old HP Compaq came with. Everything was going swell, and I got past the part where to choose the language and time zone, etc. And then a black windows screen popped up with some little letters saying something along the lines of "loading, please wait"...

I need to put up some pictures of my small project and hopefully it will help/give ideas to anyone else with the same thing in mind. But here is the thing. I have built a control panel that is replacing my ashtray, to start the car and control the accessories. I would like to find a wiring...

I was a little anxious about getting accepted at first, but I received an approval letter today for the Darryl Starbird 46th Tulsa show this weekend! Any other FABO Oakies gonna be there? I'm still a little confused about the fire hazard rules though. What do they mean by "No tire dressing is...

I have a leak in the car that lets in a little water whenever it rains. The floorboard does have a rust inhibitor atleast 8) A small puddle will appear up from underneath the carpet when I press and hold my foot on the spot for a while, which is a little left of the brake pedal, and at the...

Okay I lied, it doesn't have to be THE most interesting thing... But post a fact that is not commonly known that you think is a cool piece of knowledge for the back of your head. I'll start off with one I learned tonight. Nitromethane Used in top fuelers isn't near as combustible as...

I noticed that the inside of the holes for the duster emblems did not get hit with the paint real well (the inside of the holes) which is made of a thin peice of body filler, and you can see the body filler. I hope I am making sense. I have not put the emblems in yet, because a peg broke on one...

got fired from pushin carts at walmart tonight. for "poor job performance". its superbowl sunday for christ sake! everybody and their dog was at walmart, how am i suppose to have a stinkin cart ready for you when im the only one there? but thats a fine example of walmart logic. they make me...

So far the fastest I've got in the 1/4 is a 14.2. It's a daily driver, with a mild 360 and a 3.23, so nothing crazy. I have done some tuning to the carb now, but just in case, I'd like to know any little tips/ideas I could use to help me atleast drop into the 13's. All I can think of is...

I think they need a sticky for this one, to keep the good Auto-lovin people from getting scammed by the insurance companies. Just a thought though. I am here to ask about car appraisals. If we put our heads together we might be able to accomplish a list of things to do, and not to do, when you...

I remember seeing a member on here with a yellow duster, with the black tail stripe and the supercharger/air cleaner sticking above the hood. Whos was it? To my surprise I saw him running around Bixby today! I got excited and had the urge to post this :-D To the owner- It was lookin good =P~...

How long does it take for torque converters to actually start the "rebound" in their "spring effect". I am running a stock 727 TQ (forgot stall speed, but it's low) on a street 360. I am asking this because If I drop from 3rd to 2nd while cruising and get on the gas, it takes about a second and...

I know with manual transmission, downshifting won't hurt anything if you rev-match, and your not over-revving your engine. And I know with an automatic, the kick down linkage will automatically downshift when necessary. But what happens if you floor it and downshift your automatic to a lower...

I guess I will be one of the tikes running around here, I am 17, raised here in Bixby, OK. You can call me Jon. And I apologize if the username creates any issues, I didn't think it was anything innapropriate, but my dad sure took offense when he saw the name while I was surfing the site. I...

This is for any port shop owners, or professionals, that may be lurking around. I bought a set of Chrysler J heads that were pulled off a race car. They were fully ported by some "famous" port guy named Kennedy, Kenneth, or McKinley, (something with a K, Mike McKinley maybe)? If you might know...
