    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Ok, so i should probably know about this by now, but i dont. Ive seen in a few other threads about removing the overcenter spring when using a diaphragm clutch. I have never taken mine out (that i know of. Ive had the car damn near 25 years, so its kinda hard to remember) Ive been running...

    Need feedback

    I'm trying to strike a balance between looks and functionality on my 70 duster. One area I'm working on is lighting. I'm night blind. The sealed beam silver stars are the best bulbs I've tried in the car, but I want better. 55 watt hid is better. Bi-xenon projector is better. So I...

    tanks inc pa4 vs surge tank for efi

    Either way will get me what I want as far as fuel delivery. Surge tank has more complexity, but easier service. The tanks inc module will be simpler, but harder to side of road repair. What I guess it boils down to is the installation. For those of you that have gone with either, can...

    dropping the motor out of the bottom, and dialing in the bellhousing

    so i killed the a833 in my duster, and am swapping in a tremec. also changing the leaking oil pan gasket at the same time. seems to me the easiest way to get all my parts out, while doing the least amount of work, would be to pull the whole drivetrain as a unit out of the bottom. this...

    so in the back of my heads are a pair of coolant passages that do not meet due to being blocked by the intake manifold. since im already modifying my victor jr for EFI, should i build a coolant crossover for those two ports? would it gain me anything, or just be another leak point? engine is a...
