Hey fellas, long time no see !! I sold my car to my youngest brother a couple years ago, and I'm trying to give him a hand restoring her... The build sheet lists "stripe delete" and when I bought the car in 1978 it had a vinyl molding down both sides and a striped across the rear between the...

Looking to buy the above for my brother who is restoring my old Duster. Within 50 miles from Hartford, CT would be great, if shipping is not an option. Anybody have one? Looking to spend in the $300 range, and condition is not critical as long as it's all there and can be rebuilt. He wants a...

Hi guys, I've been away a couple years, racing my Charger a bunch this past Summer and am now looking at the Duster again... Oh boy !! Back in April, the 29th to be exact, the 727 grenaded on me playing around with the line lock in the driveway. The car has literally been sitting in the...

I need to settle a friendly argument, and need to pick some brains ... Does anyone know for sure if the Twister was available in '72 with a 340 ? I always thought they were only available in /6 and 318's. Help ?? Thanks, Kenny

OK, don't shoot, but it's not even a Mopar .. It's a '95 F250 that I've been plowing our yard out with for 10 years.. After plowing today I noticed a noise I never heard when taking off from a dead stop in 4 wheel drive .. It's kind of a clunk clunk ....clunk clunk ... clunk clunk... that...

Guess I'm gonna have to lower the asking price :angry7: .. Tree snapped from the ice and came down pretty hard on the old girl ... She WAS in nice shape for an '84

We're getting ready to order some parts for the Duster and would appreciate some advice and any suggestions are more than welcome.. The car will be used mainly at the track, with a limited amount of street use. We don't want to re-locate the springs or cut anything if we can help it. The...

Are '70 Duster manual steering boxes really hard to come by ?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330289951050&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&viewitem=#ht_500wt_0 I'm seriously thinking of converting to manual steering.. What's a good, used box worth these days...

Anyone know the approximate weight of a stock 340 and 727 combined ?? I wanna make sure the hoist I'm looking to buy is plenty strong enough .. It's a 4,000 lb total, but when the boom is fully extended it's only rated for 1,000 lbs. This oughta work, no ?? Thanks, Kenny

I've gathered from reading around that AAR is the place to buy fiberglass. Anyone running their glass fenders on a Duster ?? Just wondering how the fit is, and wether or not all the bolt holes and light openings are cut out ? Thanks, Kenny

Interior is gutted, so no floor console. The transmission is a 727 w/ a Cheetah turbo action reverse shift manual automatic, w/ no gear braking in 1st gear. This thing always shifted as smooth as could be, up and down.. Now, it comes out of park to reverse and into neutral, 1st, 2nd and...

Just wanna throw my thanks in here as well to all the Veterans, past and present, who have served in the armed forces ... We decided to salute you in a way we hope you'll enjoy .. Kenny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSvMxIKv99Q&feature=channel

We have a couple of trucks for sale that we bought new, if anyone knows anyone who might be interested. $6500 for the '84 Diamond Reo Giant $5500 for the '87 Ford LT9000 $11,000 for the pair. Both have 400 Cummins and 13 speeds in them. Both run and drive great. We hauled milk with...

It was so cool and sunny this morning that we decided to lighten the car up by burning off a little rubber :burnout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT88qpOQ3t0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPVduO8PRcY&feature=channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jIi5T6pyus&feature=channel Damn, that...

Beautiful day here in CT, and decided to take the Duster out for some spirited driving :burnout: .. I by-passed the amp gauge and put a volt gauge in, and it's charging over 15 Volts.. I know I have the high output alternator, but this still seems kinda high.. I checked the gauge against...

I hope you guys won't mind an off topic question, but there's always someone here who can help.. I'm trying to get a big truck ready for sale, with a 400 cummins in it.. I can't get it to start w/o jumping the terminals on the starter solenoid.. Three of three batteries load test fine...

What exactly constitutes a "stroked" engine ??? Please explain in dumbass laymans terms ?? Thanks, Kenny

Any problem w/ running multiple gauges on the same power and ground sources ?? Since there's only a handful of fuses in the block, and so many gauges, does it hurt to run 2 or 3 off the same supply ?? Which gauges draw more ?? Also, what's the best way to connect a hot wire to the fuse block...

I've been hooking up a new tach and gauges, and have no dash lights.. I've got good voltage to every fuse except the one that's for the instrument lights.. I put a new fuse in and still no power there at all ... Where do I start looking ?? Thanks, Kenny

My old school Sun from the 70's (when they were made in Chicago) has **** the bed ... I read a lot about auto meter .. How about Stewart Warner, made here in the USA ?? I'd love to hear what you guys feel is the best, and the best bang for the buck. Thanks, Kenny

My Duster sits quite a bit lower on the left side when looking at it from the rear.. The battery is in the trunk, and for some reason I can't remember it was mounted on the left side. (maybe so the jack could stay in the car on the right side?) I can't believe that the weight of the battery...

I know this is an A body forum, but hopefully one of you guys can shed some light on this for me, and you've never steered me wrong yet.. We run class 8 trucks, with Detroit engines and have been having a NIGHTMARE with alternators the past couple months ... After 3 years, one of the stock...

I got all 3 plugs off w/o breaking any tabs, and am going to re-do the fusible link .. I'm pretty sure THAT is the wire that goes to the amp gauge, and the large gauge black wire is the ground ?? I'm going to bypass the amp gauge.. Both outer plugs look pretty good, just a little dull, but...

The center plug has a blue fusable link that I want to replace ... I can pry the top part of the plug off easy enough, but how do you release the bottom ? I don't wanna break the tabs, but it seems like I'd need mini little monkey hands to release the bottom.. I'm sure there's a trick...

If I turn the key to the start position, nothing happens, in any gear or park ('70 Duster 340, 727 trans) If the key is in the on position, I can jump the relay and it starts and runs .. I put a voltage tester on the bottom yellow wire of the relay, and when my son turned the key, it lit up...

I was doing some reading here last night and have a question. The battery is in the trunk so I need a cut off switch to race. I just mounted the switch, ran one wire from the "off" side to the positive post on the battery. Then hooked the existing battery cable and heavy wire that runs to the...

I was looking under the engine while the Duster was up on the lift, for the VIN stamping. I had a crappy light but could see a 340 stamped on the left side above the starter, and a date 1-10-1970 on the right side .. Where's the serial #? I've got the tranny#, door plate and dash plate, so...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=018&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=280209194450&rd=1 I've been watching a lot of Dusters on ebay to see what they're fetching, since I'm thinking of selling mine, and wonder what you folks think of this one? The fender...

I'm getting ready to list my Duster on ebay, and have some questions for those of you who have "been there." 1. What's the deal with titles ? I live in CT, so if someone from out of state buys it, how does it work? Do I wait until I get all the $$$, then sign and mail them the title ? 2...

What a night !!! My son, 18 years old, got a call a few minutes after 10 tonight from his new girl friend, also 18 years old ... She had just totaled her '98 Jeep Cherokee ... We rushed to the scene, and thank God she crawled out of it without a scratch, and her co-worker only had a slight...
