I lost one in the recent rebuild. It's the only thing keeping me from putting this thing back together. Can anybody help me out here? Thanks!

My car is an original A/C car, but when the previous owners yanked the slant six and dropped a 318 in there, they gutted all the A/C parts. I just need what goes under the hood.

Wow...that came in big.

Thanks for the responses guys. It WAS out of adjustment, but the bolt was tight (can't figure out how that happened). I loosened it, moved it up to where it should have been touching the pedal, and noticed it was about half an inch too far to the right! It turned out the bracket was...

I found this thread searching for an answer to my problem...and now I'm only more confused. Recently, I realized my brake lights were stuck on, and I thought my switch had gone out. I ducked under the dash to investigate and found the switch mounted there, in the bracket, everything tight, but...

Guess I'm on my own, here?

Im' replacing the wiper linkage bushings because two of them have failed, and I just need advice on how to remove/install them. Any tricks and advice will help. Thanks!

Still available?

I appreciate it, but those aren't the kind I have on my car. Mine are similar to those, but the center portion is much larger and have indentations where the lug nuts line up.

I have access to a drill press, but I would be concerned about getting it exactly right. If you get ONE hole slightly off-center, I would think that would cause a seating problem that would pose a safety issue. Not only that, if you get the pattern slightly off center of the hub, there would...

Hmmm...I guess I don't know the difference. If I had to guess, I'ad say it's more of a sombrero shape. Or maybe like an orange juicer, if that makes sense.

Somehow, I lost mine. Please PM or post a response if you have one for sale.

I found this a while back when I was thinking about doing it. They're a little pricey, though, and I found an 8 1/4 rear with the BBP for $100 locally. Check around. http://shop.adapterkings.com/5-Lug-to-5-Lug-Adapter-5-Lug-to-5-Lug.htm?productId=13

You wouldn't happen to have a vacuum diagram, would you? It's okay if you don't. Now that I know what I'm looking for, I can start to diagnose it. Thanks!

It's a 1974 Duster A/C car. I ended up building a housing for my stereo and mounting it beneath my vents, leaving my original AM job intact. I don't have any pics yet, but I'll try to get a couple tonight. I still want to fix my vent controls, but I don't know where to start. Can anyone...

That just sounds too easy... Tell me it's true.

Great. On a side note, will I be able to access my climate controls? My slide selector doesn't work anymore, and I'd like to be able to turn my vents on. Thank God it's stuck on defrost, though!

I did a quick search and came up with bupkis. Can someone tell me how to get my stock AM Radio out of the dash so I can install one of them new-fangled radio-thingys? I have a 74 Duster AC car with the underdash vents. If I remove those vents, is the rest of it kinda cut-and-dry? How hard...

Man, I didn't expect this kind of response when I started this thread! I love this site! In regards to the "ghetto thugs" argument: there is a substantial difference between putting 20% tint on a car to cut down on glare and heat, and 50+% to make it impossible to see into the car. Just...

Man...thanks, Rusty! I appreciate that. And thanks for the feedback!

Yeah that happens a lot, but it's not always True. It certainly wasn't the case in this particular scene.

I'm a fan of tinted windows...it cools the car off, cuts down on the glare, and keeps the sun out of my babies' eyes. However, I don't know if tinting the windows on this car would look right. I can't recall ever seeing any classic muscle with tinted windows. Any input?

I watched "Case 39" last night (really good movie, BTW), and one of the deleted scenes featured a really nice Swinger. Beautiful car. Does anybody know if it belongs to anyone here on the board? J/C It's a shame it got cut...our cars could use some more publicity!

Where can I get one of those books? My Haynes is pathetic.

Yeah the ballast resistor kept throwing me off...I thought electronic ignition systems didn't use them, so I assumed it had points. I kept wondering what that little black box was on my fender wall...LOL So far, so good...think I may have conquered my gremlin!

Okay...got learned up on my ignition system. Not as complicated as I first thought. I talked to my grandfather and he had an old '76 Ford F100 that used to do the same exact thing to him. Turned out to be the ingition module. I figured I had replaced all but two pieces...the ECM and...

Thanks, I'll have to check that out.

It's a 318 and I was told it came out of a 1970 Duster, so I'm sure it does.

Where is that thing located? No, not electronic ignition. But thanks! Never heard of this. Is there a way to test it? And you see...I'm from the eighties, so when I think "gremlin", I think of a little green monster that multiplies in water! Sorry to disappoint!
