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...

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...

I've had some really awesome people (nm9stheham, Tantibus-74, iw378, Thank you. ) trying to help me with an electrical short, but because I suck at communicating, I got off subject quick. So I'm starting over, with just the facts. Is the photo below a good suspect for an...

I have smoke emissions out the exhaust, without power loss. Until I can pull a spark plug this weekend, I can't begin to diagnose thing properly. I don't even know how to compression check or leak don check a new hemi, with the spark plug tubes. So far there's no milk in my oil, gas smell in my...

I'm not exactly panicing, because I have a lot of time on my hands with winter. So I'm in no rush. Plus I wouldn't doubt a few issues are coincidental. ( Because my speedo is also stuck at 25, and it worked before the engine swap.) I have hardly any...

I have to install a 5" tach/shift light that I have, into my Duster, that has a non rally dash. I'm very curious to see where the best position might be. a good position to see the other gauges, and to be able to use the heater, and defrost. I was considering making a bracket, and hanging just...

Once again more crap to make an otherwise okay day, completely crap out. I'm starting to hate this car. I'm trying to get the car into satisfactory running shape, for a trip to the body shop. There two rubber plugs in the firewall are confusing. I've never seen these on other cars. The grey...

When I purchase my 1975 Duster, it came with lots of goodies in a box. I found a oil pressure sending unit. When I took it to NAPA, they said it was for an oil pressure gauge. I don't think I've ever seen an A body with an oil gauge. It's brand new, but I have no idea if it would work with the...

I Purchased a 1975 Plymouth duster. In a parts box there were seat belts, but the clip that adjusts the shoulder strap is broken. The shoulder strap that goes across you chest, and than the the retaining piece on the headliner, and back down behind the seat to the floor. There a clip that holds...

I have a 1975 Plymouth Duster that had a slant 6, automatic, w/air. In the photo is a vacuum actuated heater control valve that seems in good condition. My question is, what exactly does it do ? I'm fairly certain that the gen III hemi ( without air ) I've installed doesn't have a bypass hose (...

When installing a 5.7, or 6.1 hemi, almost all of the wiring related to the any previous engine becomes obsolete. What you end up doing is removing the the ecu, and it's wires, The wire to the alternator needs to be up graded, ( 138 amp alternator. The voltage regulator circuit is reconfigured...

There's a relay attached to my relay. All I can tell you is, on the Red plug there is a yellow wire going to the middle bulkhead connector 2nd wire down on the right, it also jumps from the red plug on the mystery relay to the starter relay. Than there is also a yellow/black wire it goes to the...

When converting to a basic H4 headlight, is it okay to run a separate ground wire for those head lights ? Originally, I think Chrysler had the drivers side marker pigtailed to the left headlight, pigtailed to the left parking light, than to the right side in reverse order, with a black ground...

I have a 1975 Duster, it came with heat/air. The cowl is different from a 1969 Barracuda. The air doesn't enter through the cowl, and down into that box with the door at the bottom/front. The whole cowl that is welded to the firewall seems revised to me, from the earlier A body cars. Does...

I've been trying to build this hemi duster project, and all the help I was promised dried up. I knew I had to race to beat the winter to do a suspension, engine, and transmission. Now everything I've done, seems to be undoing it self. This is the street lynx...

I know I can be a retard sometimes, but it's generally in a cheerful way. With the impending doom of the ice storm "Dion", I thought it was time to address my mopar equivalent of Freddy Krueger. That said, I'm trying to ID what I can remove, and the cleanest, most sanitary, way to discard the...

I'm in the midst of transferring most my 1969 barracuda, into a 1975 duster. In the duster there's a vent system hanging from beneath the dash. I like the way it looks as opposed to the bare 89 Barracuda. Although I think ( I stress ) some of the air doors are vacuum operated. I'd like to keep...

Did Chrysler change the color codes for the engine/ignition - wiring harness between 1972, and 1975, on the Plymouth Duster ? I've been busy building a cheapo pro touring inspired street car. I haven't had the interest to even remotely inspect how the car was wired in 1975. Back almost a decade...

If you have a 17 x 8 / 5.72 B.S. Mustang rim ( already machined wheel center bore ) , and in the front you need a 3/8" spacer ( for tie rod clearance ), don't you also need a centric-ring to keep the wheel hub-centric. Thus longer wheel studs too. ( for stock rotors.) The reason I ask this is...

I'm in the midst of pulling the drive train from my Barracuda, and installing it in my Duster, and I kind of in a rush. It's a 6.1/727 combo. I have the engine, and trans out, and sitting on a pallet right now. I figure it would be easiest to do transmission maintenance now that it's available...

I have a 1975, 225 /6, with a 88 b.h.p. I'd like to remove the engine, and trans in one fell swoop. Because it's designed to lean the way it is, I can't but imagine that it might be a bit unruly to yank, without scratching everything up. I'd love to hear the best ways of attaching chains to this...

Have you ever tried to replace 1/4 skins, and during the deconstruction, you pull away the old skin only to find a damaged outer wheel tub. Damage so minimal, that buying a new outer tub seems like a waste of money. Normally the front might be a little eaten away, sometimes the back by the trunk...

I have a 1975 Duster that's in really nice condition. I actually bought it for the body, so upon getting it home I began snooping around, and everything was good, except the drivers side front directional won't blink, I do have driving/parking light, but no flasher. Even though the dash board...

I posted this on the welcome wagon. ( because I didn't know what I was doing ) - I've been on this forum for a long time. I've try'd to answer questions to help guys building Gen III projects on a budget. But now I need help. After 50 K miles of everyday driving I've proven that the 3G can be...

I've been on this forum for a long time. I've try'd to answer questions to help guys building Gen III projects on a budget. But now I need help. After 50 K miles of everyday driving I've proven that the 3G can be done on the cheap, and be reliable. Unfortunately my Barracuda...

Thought I'd save you a bit of trouble. A lot of the people on other forums are talking about the Hemi belt squeal, it's like the Hemi tick. But is it really? Most of the forums I read said, " Get used to the noise, Hemi's do that, live with it. " Other people say change the pullies, change the...
