Can someone here give me some ideas of where to locate some sort of diagram that shows how the headlight buckets are mounted? When I bought the car (1970 Duster) it was equipped with fiberglass fenders, and previous owner had just used the trim rings for the headlights to hold the headlights in...

What does everyone use for gaskets on their hi-po exhaust manifolds? I don't really like the header gaskets that are connected between the exhaust ports. I thought I had some of the Mahle MS12268 gaskets, which are the ones that have individual gaskets for the outer ports and one gasket for the...

Can anyone help me with something? I have the service manual on CD for the 1970 Duster, and have been searching it for info on torque specs for the manifolds. It only shows the passenger side manifold. I not only need the torque specs, but some photos of both sides would be very helpful. Does...

I'm searching for those washers to attach the hi-po exhaust manifolds. So far, what I have found are sorta pricey, but that's not the problem currently. How many are required? I've gotten differing information, depending on where they are available. I've seen that 4 are needed, 1 on each corner...

I have tried to research this topic both here and on the Internet, but I haven't found anything that will answer my question. Once this conversion is done, can the ECU and the ballast resistor be removed? I know there's purists here who would say I am blasphemous for contaminating a Mopar with...

My Duster was purchased from the other owner with fiberglass fenders. It had an in-dash radio/cassette player which never worked. Knowing that the AAR Cuda and Challenger T/A came with fiberglass hoods and the antenna was relocated to the rear quarter panel, is this what I need to do to get a...

Can someone please advise what the difference is between the two? The manual I have on CD doesn't show the difference. Also, is the wiper assembly different? Thanks

Can anyone here maybe send me a good picture of how you routed the wiper hoses? My Duster was purchased from the previous owner without a washer reservoir, hoses, and nozzles. I have collected a new washer reservoir, nozzles, and an electric pump. Unfortunately, I can't find anything in the...

I hope this doesn't make me appear stupid, but does anyone offer an interior bolt kit? I have an interior screw kit, so I was hoping I could find something like that. Thanks

Looking for a plastic glove box that will fit a 1970 Duster.

Is there any commercially available glove box inserts that are more durable than the fiberboard OEM ones? Thanks

Watching an episode of Engine Masters today, and the discussion was, obviously, fuel coolers and the effects of cooler fuel on engine power. The best way they found was to utilize a transmission cooler that had as part of the cooler an electric fan. I thought this was intriguing. Has anyone...

As far as manual steering boxes are concerned, are all the manual steering box shafts the same? I've seen small shaft and large shaft pitman arms listed. Thanks

Can someone tell me what the difference is between the stock pitman arm and the fast ratio pitman arm? I can't seem to locate a good pic of either one to make a comparison. Also, what models were the fast ratio ones used?

I purchased a Detroit locker several years ago at the Chrysler Classic at Norwalk. I haven't installed it yet, and I need some information on this particular unit. I have located several numbers on the unit, but I don't know which one is the actual model number. I just want to get some...

How loose should the ball joint end be? Mine is moveable, but I can't find any looseness in it. Just trying to avoid the cost, if at all possible. Thanks

Does anyone here have any tips on how to polish up the aluminum case on this steering box? I've tried using the polish that comes with the Dremel tool attachments, and it did clean up good, but it still appears to be "stained" for lack of a better term. Is there any other DIY concoctions that...

Can anyone tell me what size is needed for attaching the idler arm to the frame on a 1970 Duster? I've had the steering apart for a while now, and I can't locate the bolt. If I knew what size it is I can get a new one. Thanks

Allow me to preface this post by saying that I in no way desire to begin a urination contest with this topic. Seems engine oil topics always manage to cause a debate, which in itself isn't a bad thing. However, sometimes those debates turn ugly, which is not what I am after. There's my...

Is anyone using one of these? I have one, but I'm debating if it's worth it to install it. Besides making the oil filters more accessible, and adding to the oil capacity, what else would be an advantage?

Considering purchasing a 16:1 manual steering box. How much more effort is needed compared to the 24:1 OEM manual steering? Thanks

I have a pair of seats from a Plymouth Lazer that I had reupholstered to match the rear seat of my 1970 Duster. Those seats have their own tracks that function perfectly. However, they do sit very close to the floor. I have a pair of OEM bucket seat tracks for the Duster, but I don't know how to...

I have done the disc brake conversion, and I do have dust shields. However, they could be better. I have searched here and the internet for new or good used ones, but haven't been too lucky. Does anyone repop these? Thanks!

I have a new divider for my Duster, but before I go ahead with installing it, can anyone suggest an alternative that they may have used? The new one seems to be just heavy cardboard. When I got the car it didn't have a back seat, and the previous owner had just installed a piece of particleboard...

What's everyone using? I replaced the OEM bulbs with a pack of LED's that were packaged specifically for an A body rallye dash, but they still don't seem very bright. I haven't installed the dash in the Duster yet, so I have been testing everything with a 12V lawnmower battery. Could that be an...

Can the ammeter be disassembled? I was thinking of using the body and the screen to install a voltmeter in its place. The mounts are in the correct place, and it would be a better fit than what I have already done. Thanks!

What black paint best matches the black on the rallye gauges? I am installing a voltmeter, and am going to use the gauge face with the numbers. It will fit with some modifications, but I need to fit a metal background to the gauge to fill in the area where the ammeter was. I have the metal to...

I'm sure this has been discussed here before, but nothing shows up in a search. I would like to convert (or should I say replace) my ammeter in my rallye dash with a voltmeter. I have seen it done on other Mopars, but none of those were A bodies. I can remember an article somewhere that explains...

I am ready to install some sound deadener on the doors of my Duster, and would like some advice. Is it better to apply the sound deadening material (I have the adhesive sheets) to the door, or the door panels? My door panels are homemade ones, but I think they look better than the OEM ones. I...

I have the cluster out of the car, and would like to test the new voltage limiter that I installed. This is a Rallye dash. At the risk of seeming stupid, how can I wire up the gauges using a 13V battery and a fuel tank sending unit? I'm not even sure I wired the limiter properly. Any help is...
