I would have asked her where the battery in her car came from. Then, revved the engine until she went away.

I saw several cars pulled over/broke down that day. At least mine got me where I had to go. I almost never have to drive [my own vehicles] in the city anyway.

I have a 72 coronet with a 318. Had the engine rebuilt when I got the car 7 years ago- pretty much stock, better crank+pistons. Ran the car for 6 years and 20,000 miles without issue, found out the engine builder was a dirtbag and used bad parts. At the same time that I took the engine out...

My car is in nicer shape than this and everyone here told me it was worthless. Let's see.

I'm seriously consider building a mild turbo /6 to put in my duster... just want a little more oomph without destroying the fuel economy.

All comes down to how much money you wanna spend. If I spent the cost of an evo on building up my duster, it would blow the doors off an evo.

Looks the same as any bumper I've ever seen on any other 1970 duster... just this one has bumperettes. Anyway, it looks like there's not much interest in this car for what it is, only for what else it could be. But, tonight I went and did some touch-up work, temporary painting to seal up...

Here are pics of the frame rails and underside. There is some surface rust but everything is very solid.

Rails are good all around. Floors are still good, but should get attention, there is some rust under the floormat. I might end up taking the seats and floormat out myself and doing something about it if I still have the car for a while. I'm pretty sure it just needs to be cleaned up and coated...

I picked up this duster last spring. Basically I was looking for a toy but ended up with a historical artifact. I don't really want to get rid of it, it's a nice car, but it's not what I really wanted. So I'm putting this out there to see what people think it is worth, and to see if anyone is...

Infiniti... Glorified Nissan... Every Infiniti I see on the road looks like its falling apart. And they're always really dirty. They must be for people who don't care at all about their car. Same story with Lexus. I think it's really funny that people who buy them think they are getting...

I don't know about the engine, but if I saw that happen (people being so rude to an 80 year old lady and failing to help) I would write a letter for the local paper describing the incident and chastising those people... (can you tell I live in a small town?)

Curious. I probably won't end up doing anything like this with my coronet, but I will probably be towing some things at work (hopefully with trucks provided by the company) and it got me thinking about whether it would be possible with my coronet, if I rigged up a hitch on it (which I am pretty...

Is that as far as he gets on a tank of gas?

I get asked very frequently with my 72 coronet. Don't see why people rag on 4-doors when apparently everybody wants mine... With my 70 duster I bought it in the spring, and stored it all summer while I was working like mad through the busy season. Then in the fall I cleaned it up, gave it a...

Here's how to identify what rear you have

But you might feel like a huge dumbass when you're dying on the side of the road. Coming from someone who's been riding since 8 years old... there's a time and place for everything and there is such thing as "moderation".

Done, thanks. Two of the spots aren't as bad as I thought, the area of bare metal is less than a penny. The other two are pretty bad though. Looks like 2 are on original paint and 2 are probably on newer paint. As if I didn't have enough stuff to do this winter before school starts again...

Not even gonna get into the whole story about this. Because of the ridiculous wind we've had since the storm started yesterday, there are four spots where metal to metal contact has rubbed through the paint on my car. They are on the passenger side, each spot is about the size of a tennis ball...

If I had those and wanted to sell them the first thing I would do is try to get a hold of Jay Leno.

The engine in my coronet is a marine 318, that was fresh water only and reverse rotation. I forget what the builder messed up but the first time he delivered it, it leaked oil like a sieve- because he forgot to correct something for reverse rotation. He fixed it at his own cost, when it was all...

Where did I argue? I made a statement of fact. "The computer says this". If the computer is wrong, then so be it. I never said you were wrong or indicated that I disagreed with anything you said.

What's really stupid about this is that I wasn't ignoring Dan or even disagreeing with him. I made a statement of fact ("the computer shows this") and he took it personally. It's not my fault if the computer is wrong. Oh well. The new mounts that I ordered should work.

And you're making yourself look like a "jerk", to put it in forum friendly terms. I'm well aware that you know more about this engine and these cars than I ever will. What are you trying to prove?

No need to take it personally.

Even the pictures on the computer that came up for 1970 duster vs 69 valiant are different. http://www.napaonline.com/Search/Detail.aspx?A=BK_6021665_0310470766&An=599001+101970+50056+2056063+4056022+5999999...

It has me wondering about other parts that might be different because I plan on using a front end rebuild kit and maybe installing new torsion bars, and also maybe switching to disk brakes at some point (but I want to keep SBP).

The 1970 mounts were the same for both sides, and each had two studs on one side with two tabs on the other. Nowhere near correct- mine are different left/right, and one has one stud on each side while the other has one stud on one side and two on the other. Neither has tabs.

I ordered motor mounts for my 1970 duster (225 slant 6), they came in yesterday and they are completely wrong. We looked up 1969 valiant mounts and those look correct. I ordered those, so we'll see if they work. But what does it mean if my 1970 duster came with 1969 valiant mounts? Could I have...
