I would be interested in discussing/sharing photos via PM email. I have a 1974 Duster 360 auto clone car with a Dec. 1970 360 cast block which has been bored/stroked to 414 w a full roller .520" lift cam. Lots of other mods, but an all around solid duster w 425+HP, 490 Ft-lbs of torque, 3:73...

All, Just wanted to close this string out in case it helps someone else in the future. Here is a summary of details/specs/results: 1) Distance from C-C of my fully inserted yoke to the differential U-joint mount is 46-1/4" 2) Length of my original driveshaft was 44". (This WAY short...

THX all for the feedback (Yes my terminology was poor in that I was referring to the "Slip Yoke" in my original thread notes. Was typing it late at night & my brain was fuzzy.....) Regarding the alignment btwn. the rear axle pinion and trans. centerline: when I measured my original set-up...

Gents, Thx for the feedback so far...I have also fully reviewed the Denny's driveshaft web site material from my previous research and found it very helpful. I do intend to pull the driveshaft in the near future and re-asses the full set-up using your advice and what is posted at Denny's...

All, Looking for help in troubleshooting a driveline vibration on my 74 Duster w a 360/727.(car had a few problems when I bought it including a slipping trans. & a bad driveline vibration at ~55mph). The past few years of ownership have included: confirming proper driveshaft balance &...

roadrunnerh, I did the full conversion and installed the new collar piece I bought from Classic industries about a year ago. (It was a pricey piece, but the final result looks like a factory install). I did remove the internal locking wheel/mechanism just to simplify things and to prevent it...

Folks, Problem solved!! (THX to 67dart273) Yes indeed, it appears that 1974 had a single common ground wire for the front grill lights. I found a stray black wire with a stripped bare end protruding from the wiring bundle where it passed out of the front of the engine compete near the horn...

All, During the past 6-months I pulled my engine, had it rebuilt and reinstalled it in my 1974 duster. After fighting with header & exhaust connections and chasing a few oil leaks, it is now fully back on the road and the engine runs/pulls well. Before the engine removal all electric lights...

Dental Dart, Glad my suggestion worked! I personally struggled with this condition for over a year & got stuck a few times waiting for 15 + mins for everything to "cool off" enough that my car would start to crank again slowly(after ~30 mins it would start "normal"). I SHOULD also finish...

Mopar340dave(or anyone), Using this old email to launch a related request for help. I just installed a new stroker motor back in my 74 duster a few weeks ago. After struggling with header/exhaust connections and a few oil leaks, everything (almost) is working fine and I now have a few...

Dental Dart, Again, lots of good troubleshooting advice here, but I can only pass along how I solved this problem with my car. I did also replace the relay before I discovered my problem, but the original relay was actually working fine. Here is a picture. As you can probably see, I...

Dental Dart(all), Not trying to hi-jack this discussion(lots of good troubleshooting info here), but I think I know EXACTLY what your problem is because I struggled with the EXACT same situation on my 360 duster for about a year before figuring it out. It is your neutral safety switch on the...

All, Regretfully, all the news is bad. 2 lifters we're bad because the two cam lobes driving them wiped and rubbed thru the lifter bottoms. Have yet to find any shavings/pull the oil pan/cut open the oil filter. Engine is being pulled during the next few days. Out of frustration, I have...

Furrystump, Mufflers are a no-name(that I can find) Flow-max knock-offs with 2-1/2" piping throughout the whole exhaust system. Appreciate the advice about the different Pypes variations. -Scott

Guys, Appreciate the feedback. Will know more this time tomorrow but here are additional details: 1) Engine build was completed in early Jan2021 2) Engine was broken in and dyno tested at Dale Meers facility in Buffalo, Ky in late Jan2021. This included a lengthy pre-lube and verification of...

All, I have encountered a MAJOR problem with my "professional" built stroker engine that used these CompCams rocker arms/shafts. 1) Engine was run on dyno(maybe a total of 45-55mins run time) in late january for Cam break-in and power assessment. Other than a few frustrating oil leaks, the...

Gents, Just getting around to reading updates. I appreciate the inputs. Here is some feedback 1) No, this is not the final air cleaner I plan to use. I do have dropped down 14" K&N filter I am using in the car. Had to shift form a 1" to a 1/2" carb spacer to clear the hood though. 2) Intake...

Gents, To add to this discussion, I just installed my rebuilt stroker 360 in my 1974 Duster(auto, floor shift, manual steering) today along with a a set TTI shorties. The overall quality, instructions and ease of install was pretty straight forward with minimal, "fuss." But when we had them...

Have a whole set of used engine parts that came off a good running 360 (except for a noisy main bearing) that was rebuilt into a 414 stroker. Engine ran strong and had a slight lope at idle(Cam pics are included but I have not been able to cross the labels to a particular grind...I expect...

Gents, Though I have not yet re-installed my new engine (Covid concerns mainly), I did want to provide some feedback on this thread. -I had my completed stroker(414 cu-in) engine broken-in & dyno tested at Dale Meers shop in mid-jan and the resulted are included in the pics below. Results...

A. Andrews/all, My search continues... After picking up the Gates hose I mention above (P/N 20958) from my local parts store, I discovered that it in fact does NOT have the same bends as the hose I am trying to replace AND the I.D. of the inlet end (that connects to the lower radiator outlet)...

A. Andrews, This picture looks just like the Gates P/N i found at O'reilly's web site. I guess the next step is to order one and see how it goes. THX a LOT for this assist. -Scott

Gents, After spending the past 20-30 minutes searching/reading various previous posts with the words "Radiator hose" or "lower radiator hose" in the subject line, I am opting to bug you all with a new thread on this fascinating topic. I replaced all the radiator/heater/coolant hoses on my...

Gents, I feel bad about not closing this thread out earlier, but here it is ..finally. The noise was from a BAD internal bearing of some type. I (& my local gear-head friends)expect a lower crank bearing due to nature and the sound as it became worse(2nd guess is a cam bearing). During...

Trebling, I was more interested in whether folks on the forum believe these would fit my 74Duster without complications. Anyone? Your Information/link is below. The outlet size is discussed in a customer's question on this product at Summit's site. If you can't find it, the answer states...

Gents, I am currently having my 360 engine rebuilt for my 74 Duster (Manual steering/brakes and floor shift auto) and making preps to reinstall with different exhaust. Previously had a set of long tube headers that had been badly scraped on ground by previous owner and damaged. I liked the...

THX Kursplat, Would appreciate any pics. (you are running TTIs correct?) To answer your question about SHIFTER/TRANS: I have a 727 torque flight w a B&M Floor shifter. Car was originally a column shift and I modified the steering column collars to look like a factory floor shift model...

Kursplat, Regarding TTI's...I think I have been mixing up my "doug's" with my "TTI" research. The pic below is for the TTIs available from Mancini racing as Item #: TTI34025-C0. I have been pessimistically favoring painted headers, as opposed to ceramic coated, primarily because I...

guys, Currently have my tired 360LA at a machine shop for a stroker build. Car had an old set of long headers (brand?) when we pulled the motor but they were in pretty rough shape(lots of drag dents) and really crowded the engine compartment and hung low. I am planning to replace them with...

Wyrmrider, Understood but there U-bolts have already been tightened and fixed the problem.(Double nutting them is a good idea.) Jay27, Have not tried to simply remove the alternator/fan belt. (car has manual steering, so I only have a single belt.) Car has a factory style clutch fan...
