Receipt is out in the garage, I'll get the price and part number today. I think they were 11 bucks a pop.
You get the aluminum bracket with the bumper, or just the skin? If you got the whole thing, nice score.
I put FD aluminum supports on my Duster years ago when I own a Feather Duster. Sure was a difference in weight.
I had a noise from my fuel pump area, too. I'm running a magnum roller in my early block with hughes lifters and fuel pump eccentric adapter, so pretty similar to your setup. I replaced the fan clutch and alternater, before I figured out it was from the pump. Pulled mine and replaced it, which made no difference. In the end, what I found was that the pump arm was rubbing on the timing chain.
No idea why it would show up later, though. Maybe it's a completely different problem.
Glad you found the problem.
Am I remembering incorrectly, or are you going EFI later? Been a long weekend, probably getting mixed up.
I'm not a happy camper, see video below.
My advice to anyone considering to use one of these adapters is to DO NOT. The bolt was properly torqued on and there was a liberal dose of loctite red applied.
If this would have let go while I was out of state last month I would have been up sh*t creek.
Not yet, I got tied up for 6 weeks gutting, insulating, new windows and sheetrocking my daughters room.
Room came out very nice and stays as warm as toast.
Considering EFI for the Duster, those Pro Parts kits have come WAAAAAAAYYYYYY down in price!
Flat out on the Dart now (pulling the old motor even as we speak) aiming to have the Dart COMPLETED by July. Doubt it will happen but if you watch the Dart thread you can see I'm giving it a run for the money.
While the Dart is at the body shop I'll be reskinning the seats, freshing the motor, assembling the 8.75 and resealing the 4-speed.
Woot! Full speed ahead!
got any links to the pro-parts stuff? i tried a quick google search, but came up with nothing.
Hmm...well that's disturbing.
Any pictures of the parts after you removed them? What exactly failed?
