    Ignition wiring questions

    Hey all, Working on my 1972 Plymouth Duster 318 project car. I needed a new column and have gone with a keyless column. I am going to use a Peerless universal ignition switch and mount it in the dash. I am also installing a remote mount kill switch inline on the start wire. My question is if...

    Hood release cable mounting question

    Hey all, I was hoping I could get a photo from someone with a 1970-1972 Duster with a cable release hood. I am trying to figure out where to mount the bracket that is attached to the cable by the latch release behind the grill. I will attach a photo of mine for clarification. Thanks in advance!

    Intake/carb adapter question

    Hey all, This old Mopar performance single plane intake came with the 318 when I bought my 1972 Plymouth Duster. I just swapped an old Holley spreadbore for a 1406 Edelbrock Performer carb. The manifold is set up with bolts for different carb styles, but it looks like a Thermoquad/spreadbore...

    Leaking from head bolts

    Should I pull my intake?

    Hey all, I just dropped a small washer from the throttle linkage into the heat sink gap for the exhaust crossover of the intake. How big an issue could this create? I really don’t want to pull the intake, but I will if there is any chance that washer could work it’s way inside the motor. I...

    Emergency brake and sub frame connectors

    Hi all, I have a new e-brake to install on my 72 Duster project. I already have subframe connectors welded in and now the normal “path” for the cable is blocked. Would it be best to: A) drill an angled hole in the subframe connector to try an maintain the original pathing? B) Is there a...

    318 Distributor install question

    Hey all, I have a question about the distributor on my 318. I have the engine at top dead center, but the rotor is not pointing at the #1 cylinder. It is actually pointing inline with the camshaft. To answer a couple questions that might be presented the rotor lines up with the gear slot on...
