    Distributor filling itself with oil

    For all i know, taking it apart for inspection knocked a piece of swarf out that i didn't see that was corkscrewing the oil up like someone else suggested. I have no idea why it was doing it before, and why it doesn't appear to be now. Im bumfuzzled.

    Distributor filling itself with oil

    So, found the vacuum advance leaking. Thats been changed, and car runs better than ever. Ive got about 60 miles on with no evidence of more oil yet. Hopefully get a bunch more on this weekend, so we'll see of that was it! If not, it comes back out to see if it has the passages i didn't see last...

    Distributor filling itself with oil

    The distributor didn't leak for the first 100 miles or so. Then started. Nobody had asked for pictures, and i didn't think to post any, so im not sure where the "refused" part comes in, but here is my exact setup. Pass side valve cover breather is both vented to atmosphere and had a fresh air...

    Distributor filling itself with oil

    Gee, thanks rusty! Really helpful! Everyone else: Distributor was torn down completely yesterday. No burrs found on shaft, but polished with 2000 grit anyway just for kicks. The i side of the housing had no passages, nor and obviously missing seals or damage. Nowhere to put permatex, nor...

    Adding remote rallye mirrors

    Just got my new reproduction rallye mirrors in. My car never was drilled for the control stick. Anyone have the dimensions and locations for where to drill? Its a 1970 if it matters. Also, what all holds the stick in? It came with a bezel, but looks like there should be a backer plate or...

    Rallye mirrors

    So, im sick of my mirrors flopping around, moving when i put the cover on, etc. Currently running standard reproduction round mirrors on both sides, and yes the passengers side is all but useless. Looking at the new chrome housing reproduction mirrors, it seems that the drivers side is remote...

    Power steering pumps

    So, mine puked its guts the other night. Not exactly sure where, but i suspect the seal between the reservoir and pump itself. However, having never rebuilt a power steering pump before, i planned to grab a reman at the parts store. Its a late saginaw pump. I think its from an 80s diplomat...

    This stuff starts getting cut out today. Should get finished next weekend. If nobody claims it before then, it will go to scrap. Id rather see someone use it, and pay me to be more precise with my cutting vs chopping it out the easy way and scrapping it....

    [FOR SALE] 1974 duster framerails, floor, firewall near Charlotte nc

    Seem to be pretty solid. Front floors are pretty rotten, inner fenders cut for fenderwell headers. Core support cut a bit. Pretty much everything between the rocker pinch welds front to rear, as the skin it going over my tube frame car. Make me an offer i cant refuse. Rest of the stuff on...

    Small block hei distributors

    Im currently running an msd pro billet distributor in my 360. It does not have vacuum advance. Getting a whopping 8mpg out of it. So im looking at my options. Before putting the wideband on and messing with the carb, im getting timing sorted. To that end, im looking at the cheap hei...

    70 duster: updating, and a no-dough pro-touring makeover

    Well, finished swapping to the second gen neon console and park brake, tightened all the loose parts on the front end and replaced the idler arm, and swapped back to the red wheels for something different. Dont really like them as much as I thought, so they probably go away soon. No pictures...

    Throttle linkage geometry

    Ill need to check carpet and make sure, but i doubt it. HOWEVER, the thought that just woke me up from a dead sleep is wondering if the munchkin had long enough legs! I need to get the wife to check when we get home tomorrow. I may be chasing a problem ive already fixed. And yes, slight...

    EFI tank with Carbureted engine plumbing questions

    Cheap knockoff. Like 20 bucks or so. The oriface had to be opened significantly to lower the pressure enough. However, it works perfectly and keeps fuel cool and no vapor lock. I also run 3/8 feed and 5/16 return.

    Throttle linkage geometry

    I seem to be using the same hole as abodyjoe. However, i am only getting 3/4 throttle or so. Not really any holes to go down more, either. And looking at the adapter, it seems it places the connection point for the cable between where i have it and the big hole, making for LESS travel. Or am...

    Throttle linkage geometry

    So, i went back to a carb from multiport fuel injection. I kept the lokar throttle cable and bracket. Car is a 70 duster, 360 with a manual transmission and a double pumper. I can only get 3/4 throttle no matter how i set it up. I am using the holes on the Holley carb linkage, no adapters or...

    EFI tank with Carbureted engine plumbing questions

    I went from the efi tank and pump to a carb by using a universal bypass regulator from ebay. Had to drill the return oriface bigger to get the pressure down far enough.

    70 duster: updating, and a no-dough pro-touring makeover

    We're back! Had to build a new truck. Now that that's done I got the duster out this week, rebuilt the rear leaf spring pack again to something way more normal, fixed the pinion angle issue, and now have no Driveline vibrations up to 82 miles an hour. Now on to the front end issues that I didn't...

    70 duster: updating, and a no-dough pro-touring makeover

    It WAS fast. Almost like one of the shows on tv. But, all my parts were on hand, nothing custom made was needed, and i had motivation and time due to quarantine. And my daughter is 11. Sjlje loved helping disassemble, spray paint, and running the hoist. She hated sanding, but so do i.

    70 duster: updating, and a no-dough pro-touring makeover

    Yessir! Ive put almost 500 miles on it now! Even drove it on some interstate. Needs a little more tuning, the ac fixed, and more pinion angle/rear spring work. However, that will wait. Also, since the last update, i did a full bare shell resto on another mopar with my daughter.

    Leaf springs

    So. The pack i have built is a hybrid pack. 340 duster main leav, Durango pack below, modified main leaf shortened and bolted to 340 main leaf above the main. Does a fantastic job, and emulates the trans am springs of the 60-s to early 70s. Problem came from the Durango arch. Espo is who i...

    Leaf springs

    Who do we like these days? I have a custom built set in my duster that i love, but due to the mix and match nature of what I did wound up lifting the car four inches. Blocks brought it back to proper height, but... Think i want xhd or similar with stock or one inch lower height this time. Who...
