I have a pair of Tubular Upper control arms from Magnum Force Racing that I had mounted on my '76 Duster when I was trying to fix a handling issue. They didn't fix the problem so I went back to the stock control arms. I got a good deal on them since they were custom powder coated lime green to...

I have partially restored this 76 Duster with factory A/C and power steering. New suspension, brakes, steering, springs, tires and wheels, sway bar, gages, MSD ignition. My daughter quickly lost interest in learning the in and outs of vintage cars so I'm not comfortable with her taking this one...

Lowes sells a roofing product called "Peel and Seal". It's a self adhesive Tar-like material with foil on the outside for heat resistance. I'm told it's the same material that Dyna-mat started out with before they developed thier own. I did the rear speaker deck of my Duster. With the car off...

I finally had a chance to tear into my tranny. Mine is a TF A904 and has a ball bearing (National p/n 206-LOE) in the extension housing that is about 1/2 way along the output shaft. This means there's lots of cantilevered output shaft after the bearing. Doesn't seem like a good idea to me, but...

I'll add my name to the list of many with this problem. Mine gets into a harmonic at about 67 mph and the pulsation then increases with speed. I don't want to push it past 75 mph to see if goes away at higher speed. Does nayone know how much radial play there should be in the tail shaft of the...

In case anyone stumbles across this post, I have 2 additions. My Duster latch has a very small hole in the front of the knob into which I inserted a small paperclip. Once I depressed the little sping mentioned here, the paper clip slid in and kept the spring from popping back out. This gave me...

Since I was already that far in, I did the tranny mount, front and rear tranny seals, tranny filter and even the starter. It was the rear main seal on the crank I gave up on.

Thanks for all the thoughts on my knock problem. Turned out to be the torque converter input collar. Half the collar had broken off at the drive notch for the tranny pump. It was still driveable, but I'm glad I parked it right away. Could have eaten up the front end of the tranny. I found a...

Normandin Chrysler Jeep Dodge on Capitol Expressway in San Jose,Ca is hosting a Mopar Car show and BBQ from 10am to 4pm on Saturday, Sept 10. Open to all vintages of Mopar cars. Their website doesn't reference it, but they have posts on Facebook to advertise it.

Thanks to all who responded. I checked the TC bolts via the inspection plate and they're all tight (I couldn't be that lucky). I'm going to tackle the flex plate ($8 at RockAuto) and hope that's it. I may try to get the rear main seal done too as long as I'm that far in. I'll post the results...

I have a 76 Duster 318 with a 3speed automatic. Today it started knocking loudly at idle in park an the knocking speeds up when I rev it gently. It continues in drive but goes away in reverse. My stethoscope is relatively quiet on the rear main, really loud on the bell housing (I know the front...

Here are a couple pictures of the manifold.

I have a used LD340 intake for sale $150.00 plus shipping. It came with my "76 Duster, but is not CA legal. From what I've read it should be good for 318-340-360 engines. Other posts on this forum claim it is a good street/strip intake.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll check out Wilwood. As for the smog check, I agree. Unfortunately, I've had several conversations with the CA referee who does not agree. According to the beaurocrats in my great state, the transmission is part of the emissions package, and I'm bound by having to...

Thanks. This gives me some more avenues to research before I start tearing into it. Anybody have other thoughts/suggestions on turning my Duster into a gear banger? I'm going to need to preserve the automatic setup and store it in my back yard somewhere. Since I bought a '76, it has to be an...

Sorry, I meant "hydraulic clutch would NOT be too hard to plumb"

I'd like to put a 5 spd in my 76 Duster 318 (currently automatic). I know that mid 90's Dakotas had the 5.2L mated to a 5 speed tranny. Anybody have any thoughts or experience with this kind of swap? Did the 5.2L block keep the same bolt pattern as my old 318? I assume a hydraulic clutch would...

I need 1 front and 1 rear side marker light for a 76 Duster. Thanks,

How much do you want for the rear sail panels? I see they are cracked, but maybe I can use them to make molds.

Hi, I need front and rear side marker lights from the grey car. Drivers front in the picture looks good. How about the others?
