For sale is my 1972 Dodge Demon. I purchased this car in the winter of 2006 from the original owner, who got it as a gift upon graduation from high school. With the car comes its complete repair history, including brake, muffler, oil changes, and tune-ups. This Demon wears its original B3...
How do I remove the heater control face plate on a 72 Demon? I see that the lever knobs have small set screws on the bottom, but I can't seem to get the face plate off the metal dash. Are there screws in the back of it or something? I was hoping it would just pop off.
1972 Dodge Demon. Here's what I started with: I bought this car 2 years ago as a 1 owner grocery getter with a slant 6, automatic trans, and a 7 ¼ rear. It was very clean and straight with a tired interior and rust only in the lower quarters. The car was purchased new in Port Huron, MI, in...
What should I use to paint the hood blackout on my 72 Demon? I'd like it to look close to correct and be durable, but it's not a show car. Suggestions on something readily available?
Thanks!
I think my fuel filter/sock in the tank of my Demon may be stopped up, and I need to remove it. Any suggestions for pulling the pickup/filter/sending unit out? Can it be done without dropping the tank, or does the rear diff get in the way?
I have a 72 Demon. The windshield wiper knob says "WASH" on it, and of course it controls the washer spray. However, on my car, the word "WASH" is upside down. The knob will only go on one way, and the switch will only go in the dash one way. My knob was printed upside down, and I bet it is...
I need a new yoke for my A body 8 3/4. It's a 741. Anybody no what yoke I need? There seem to be quite a few different versions.
Edited to say 741...I typed 742 originally.
I recently bought a grant repop Tuff wheel for my 72 Demon, along with the horn kit. It looks like I need a spacer of some type also to make up for the shallow dish on the tuff wheel. Do I need one, and if so, where do I get it?
Could someone please post a photo of a tuff wheel in an a...
A 71 Demon had a decal "Demon" logo on the fenders, while a 72 had a metal "Demon" emblem.
If a 72 had the "340" call out sticker on the fenders, did it still get the metal emblem, or did that cause it to get a decal "Demon" logo as well? Or, could you even get a "340" call out on the 72...
It's not my car, but I was contacted by someone who wants to sell it. He and his mom bought it new. It has about 30,000 original miles and is a one owner car (unless he retitled when his mom died). The car is automatic with a 318 and has some surface rust. He would like to sell it to someone...
Today I went to a local junkyard to get the rear window flipper/lock mechanisms from a 72 Duster, because my Demon hardware is pitted badly. I discovered that the mechanism is rivited to the window frame, instead of being screwed to it. When I discovered this, I just pulled the whole quarter...
WIW? 73 dart sport, original interior in nice shape, 1 repaint in the life of the car, NO RUST at all. repaint is nice, but not a show car. 340, sunroof, rallye wheels. Basically a survivor that's had a repaint, if that makes sense.
This morning about 9am, I fired up the Demon and headed out around town. After traveling maybe 1/4 mile, a car pulls up right on my tail flashing headlights instructing me to pull over.....not a cop either. I think "crap, I must have run over my dog and be dragging her" or something like that...
Help! 5x4 Cragars won't fit up front because of the drum weights. Wheel shop says knock the weights off....the drums will not be out of balance enough to even notice. Tire shop says don't knock them off...car will jump all over the road.
What do I do?
I got the call today - my Cragars are being shipped by Newstalgia wheel. I ordered 15x6 for the front, and 15x8 for the back. What tire size do you all recommend? It's a 72 Demon.
72 Demon, 360, Edelbrock air gap manifold, topped with a Edel. 750 carb and a Mopar performance breather. Will the hood close? Any suggestions for measuring to find out? I was told it would fit, but looking at it, I'm not so sure.
On the tail panel of the Demon, most of the time the black strip is split down the middle of the car with body color showing through. Occasionally, I see it solid black. Is the one in the attached photo correct, or should it be solid black?
I recently pulled a /6 from a 72 Demon, and replaced it with a 360 and 904 tranny out of a 76 Cordoba. The kickdown linkage looks like it is close to working, but not quite.
Is this linkage the same as a 72 a body small block linkage? If not, do you believe it can be made to work? It...
I've been posting under the new members section, but I thought I'd move it over here. Bought this 1 owner slant six Demon 3 months ago for a nice price. I've been collecting parts for the interior, having a body man cut the rust out and blend the paint (minimal rust in the quarters, none...
Using Schumacher conversion mounts, will the oil pan from the cordoba work in the demon? Many years a go i swapped a 360 into a 74 charger, and I had to put a different oil pan on it for it to fit.
Thanks!
Does anyone have any success stories for repainting the brown around the gauge cluster, like this cluster?

I am swapping my Demon's slant six to a 360. I called a radiator shop to buy a better radiator, and they said the radiator for a demon/duster 340 in 1972 is only a 2 row radiator, which is the same as I have now. (The radiator in my car is not original). Is that correct, and will it...
I was browsing around for some decent seat hinge covers for my 72 Demon. My demon was built and sold in 71, it's a 72 model though. It has the smaller hinge covers, see attached. Shouldn't it have the longer, curved covers? All the references I find show the small one from 73-76 and the...
My Demon's going for paint next week, and I want to paint the hood matte black. I plan to paint the entire hood matte black instead of just the regular demon paint with the stripes around the perimeter of it. What paint should I use to do this?
Thanks!
Recently I bought a 76 360 with a 904 tranny from the junkyard. It was in a 76 cordoba. I took the 904 to the trans shop today for them to go through it. I'm building the 360 to between 300-350 hp...nothing spectacular. Do I need to do anything special to the 904 to beef it up? This will be...
I understand that Nostalgia Wheels is planning to make a limited production run of Cragar SS wheels with A body bolt pattern and backspacing. They are going to run 14 and 15 inch.
I called the other day to preorder, and the guy there seemed pretty knowledgeable. He said that I could fit a...
I'm converting my 72 slant 6 demon to a 360, using schumacher engine mounts. Can I use the power steering pump off the slant 6? I know there were several different manufacturers of the pumps. How do I identify my ps pump, I assume I will need to know that to find the right bracket, if the pump...
