Hello everyone,
I am not new to MOPAR products as I have owned a 1985 Dodge Daytona 2.2 Turbo 5 speed, 1989 Dodge Shadow ES Turbo 2.5 5 speed, 1996 Dodge Stratus, and 2001 Plymouth Voyager, but this is my first time to own an older MOPAR. I just purchased a Cal stored, all original, 1975 Plymouth Space Duster 225 slant 6 904 auto with 39000 miles. I purchased it from the 2nd owner who purchased it in Feb of this year and was getting it ready for his grandson who started college this fall and cant have a car for 2 years and then will cost him too much for the remaining 2 years so he sold it to me. The 2nd owner rebuilt the carb, replaced the front bushings, new rotors and calipers, new duel exhaust ("Y" pipe) side pipes, and new center line wheels 14x6 front and 15x10 rear. It is an AC car that the 2nd owner said the air was cold when he purchased but the under dash vent box was broken so he removed it. The outside color is a dark Gold (I say its brown lol) with Ivory interior (bench front seat). The car had been in storage in a garage under an Army tarp for over 20 years with only being driven 38000 miles in the previous 20 years. 2nd owner has driven only a couple of hundred miles. The only thing that doesn't work currently is the air conditioner because the vent box is removed. So my quest currently is to find out what vents went under the dash so I can get the air working again and to do the conversion so I can charge the system again. I purchased this car for my youngest son who ust turned 16. He loves older MOPARs particularly the Duster and Dart. So hopefully I wont be bothering you guys too much as we want to leave everything basically stock for him a daily driver. I may need to install bucket seats as he is 6'7" and usually has to recline the back of the seat to keep his head off of the roof. I really like the bench as it is in perfect condition so I may try to shim up the front of the bench seat to put it in a tilt to obtain enough head room that way?
Please be patient as I try to learn about the 225 slant 6 and rest of car.
Thank you
Hollis
