What everybody said I couldn't do.

I think my Duster needs it's own personality.

Nevermind.

You're right I'm wrong.

I have a milodon pan, and a stock dip stick, and I did my swap back in 2007 before anybody else did,and without any problems.

So I'm pretty certain I know at what point the suspension will bottom out, and with each revision the motion up and down becomes a bit more smooth, but I still think the UCA need to come in further.

This is about as far as the UCA can swing up, and if it did swing up this far the tire would bottom out on the inner fender.

Since I'm holding the brush between my fingers, there actually a fraction more clearance than what it looks like.

The frame I built is sort of like having a jig that you can mount things to, and move things and tune things until you have a fluid motion. Her I moved the LCA up about 1.5", and it's created a bit of tire clearance. For the purpose of demonstrating what I'm talking about, I put a zip tie on a...

So with the LCA in the wrong position the ball joint reaches it's full travel and binds. Two remedies fix this problem. One raise the lower control arm about an inch. ( something that totally never crossed my mind. The next is creating the UCA mount straight up from the k frame to just inside...

These two photos show tire clearance, which later once everything is moved around is about 5".

Here is the secondary choice for where the rack can be positioned, and it doesn't require a special oil pan. Below you can see where I mounted the LCA in too low a position. I just sort of guessed since corvettes, and dusters frames are so different. I did this without the car when it was snowing.

Next I have a ton of photos explaining why this is not working right out of the gate, and showing my revisions to make it fuction.

So without copying anybody's design, I tooled around with building a coilover suspension using only part that can be bought through a wrecking yard, or auto parts store. Theoretically it should function fine if i make two upper control arm mounts that come straight up from my k frame, knock 2...

I apologize if I offened you. You are 100% correct. Results were posted after the last meet in December.

Than right now in the USCA, there are 2 mopars that have proven themselves competitive, and one is a Mitsubishi, and the other had a GM suspension, and LS engine. What I'm trying to say is if we want to compete, we need to be more ambitious, innovative, and live in reality. ( Which is not based...

I was just reading this FABO thread about IFS . Sort of a mopar vs aftermarket coilover systems. When will people learn. If you are chiming in on a mopar crowd, Mopar stuff is golden, and everything else is second rate. ( My opinion has been consistent ) Dad had Chryslers, and Buicks, ( You do...

I'm just amazed that Tim ( who actually used this a a research car while working for GM, they were trying to solve turbo lag ) managed to cobble together fuel injection way back than. He's an oddball, I always compare him to Doc, " Back to the Future " He has a quad turbo Chevy LSX in a Volvo...

In the smaller picture of things, here some photos I wanted you to have from 1980.

Okay I'm not certain that I understand it all that clearly either. But I live buy this former GM engineer, who designed all these exotic prototype turbo charger application corvette engines. So he was interested in what I was doing because ( believe it or not ) the mule for this quad turbo GM...

The Aftermarket automotive performance industry must think people are seriously stupid. Below is a photo of 2 vapor separator, The blue one is the piece I just purchased at Lowes for $24.99. It's made of a nice cast aluminium, w/ glass ampule, with a guard around the outside. It has a powder...

Read this, it's true. On March 23,1994 the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a shotgun wound to the head. Mr. Opus had jumped from the top of a ten story building intending to commit suicide. He left a note to that effect, indicating his...

So my cheap street PCV vapor separator seems to work fine. It should keep all that nasty sludge from building up carbon, on my pistons, and valves. I was reading on a Camaro forum how this idea wouldn't work, because the petcock valve leaked vacuum, when they attempted to do it. That would be...

One of the huge problems with forums is diagnosing a problem over a computer. So hopefully catching the problem on video helps. I have the engine dialed in the best I can, it's a slightly stroked 5.7 hemi with a .238@ .50/558 hydraulic roller, and a quick fuel hot rod series 650 vacuum...

Alot of people say, " It's hard to diagnose over the internet, so maybe this will help. First my friends think that the car is too loud. In the video I run to the gas station to top off the tank, and the moment I shut the car down, you get a real earful of the...

So here we go again. I swear that the first time I started this Duster, it had no instrument cluster lighting, but somebody told me, " That mopar lite the cluster so poorly, that in the daylight it's not all that perceivable." and the speedometer was stuck at 25 mph, I had one gauge that worked...

Mainly because when you don't know a ton about what it is you are doing with wiring, the process of decision making gets all askeew. You know like anything that a person doesn't feel totally confident with. Simple solutions are not usually the first ones, you kind of sweat bullets picturing the...

So here we go again. I swear that the first time I started this car, it had no instrument clucter lighting, but somebody told me, " That mopar lite the cluster so poorly that in the daylight it's not all that percievable." and the speedometer was stuck at 25 mph, I had one gauge that worked -...
