    Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project

    I like you thinking :) I figured that was what I would be in for. I guess I'll get to ordering. On the Weisco spec sheet it says I would get about 10.5:1 did you do anything else to lower compression, like a spacer?

    73 Duster Ongoing Project Update

    Hey guys. So as I said I was driving the Duster to work today. Everything was going great and while driving home I started hearing a loud ticking noise. I pulled over and realized the noise was coming from the dip stick area. I grabbed it and I could feel it vibrating along with the engine; when...

    73 Duster Ongoing Project Update

    Been a while since I have done an update. I drove the car to work for the first time. I'm getting a considerable amount of noise from my fuel pump but it had always been like that. I also seem to have an issue with either my fuel injection computer or ignition computer sometimes that will...

    73 Duster Ongoing Project Update

    I've been able to get the brakes working normally so tuning the car has been much easier haha. I adjusted a few features on the fuel map software which was causing the motor to stall out; it turned out being a decel feature for cutting the fuel which was by default set to 0 pulse width. The...

    Brakes locking up.

    I spaced the master cylinder off the booster by a nut on each stud. It seemed to be a little too much but it made the brakes act completely normal now. Did I miss some other adjustment to make this happen or is this something people have to do? I guess my question now is if the push rod can be...

    Brakes locking up.

    I didn't change the proportioning valve. I have an adjustable valve I'm not using but I thought that would be only for the rear drums pressure adjustment? 67DART273, I plan to go buy some thick gasket material so I can offset the master cylinder. After I find the offset distance I need from...

    Brakes locking up.

    I tried adjusting the pushrod coming out of the booster so it would be shorter. This seemed to help some. When I was taking the master cylinder on and off the mounting studs I noticed the piston is actually compressing when I put the master cylinder on (I can see the fluid swirl). When I have...

    Brakes locking up.

    I can check that sometime this week. The rubber hoses are new and so was the master cylinder. I also have a brake booster. Thanks for the ideas everybody.

    Brakes locking up.

    They are the front discs locking. A few days ago I was messing around driving the car and I knew the brakes needed to be bled; they felt a little spongy but worked fine and didn't lock up. After bleeding the brakes today the brakes felt stiffer and after I tried driving the car the would lock up...

    Hi everybody, I have been able to consistently work on my car little by little for the past 7 months or so in my apartments 1 car garage (I'm now officially claustrophobic =P). Thought I would post a few pics of things I'm doing right now and a few ideas of what I hope to do soon. To...

    Brakes locking up.

    A few years ago I bought a front disc conversion kit from Mancini Racing and installed it prior to running with my rebuilt /6. At some point when initially running with the new motor the brakes seem to heat and stick while driving. The only way to relieve pressure was by cracking the lines open...

    Silencer alarm system uninstall

    So what it turned out being was that the fan relay was bad and shorting out. I couldn't detect that particular short before while pulling fuses because the security system had a constant draw. The people who had this van before me seemed to find it easier to run a hot from one of the...

    Silencer alarm system uninstall

    Thank you InkJunkie for the schematics. I'll post an updated pic just to show all I did with the security system is connect the yellow wire and disconnect the splice connectors. From what I can tell I don't think there was an issue with the security system (I think). I have been reading other...

    Silencer alarm system uninstall

    Hey, So I tracked down the wires and found that the secuirty system was pierced into 5 wires and only 1 wire was cut in the wiring harness (The big yellow). I took off the 5 splice connectors and reconnected the yellow wire seen in picture (1) bellow. Afterwards I got a jump start and...

    Hi, Sorry to ask a question none a-body related, but, I have a 99' Plymouth Voyager for school and recently started having electrical problems. I bought the van at the beggining of this year and noticed it had a silencer alarm installed, however, I never knew how it worked or if it did...

    Wiper Motor

    The wiper motor is from a 1995 Dodge Caravan. When I google this particular motor is comes up as also being for 1500,2500,3500 trucks also. The car I'm installing it on is my 73' Duster.

    Wiper Motor

    Thanks. This is what I was thinking. I'm having trouble finding wiring diagrams, as they seem to be something nobody wants you to have. I'll try looking more under different vehicles because it seems to be have been used for vans and trucks. My goal is to find a cost effective alternative...

    Wiper Motor

    Hi this motor is from a mid 90's Van my family once had. I pulled a couple parts off of it before we scraped it. Anyways I have been trying to see if I could get this motor to work on my duster and am kinda a newbi with wiring. This motor is has four pins, two are yellow and black the others are...

    Strangest thing found in your A body???

    Nothing to weird or anything but when we pulled out the motor and was cleaning the engine bay I found a spare key to the car in a magnetic case lol. So for a year I was driving around with a spare key. So when I first moved to Tampa for college I locked my keys in the car and the whole time i...

    What is this front end from?

    I like the front of the Cuda, but the back bumper reminds me to much of a 90's dodge van. Overall nicely done, I think.
