The reverse light bulbs they sell, while somewhat pricey, seem to shine brighter than my old OEM headlights. If you never drive at night you probably would not care, but driving home from that late evening cruise you can see again.
Easy on the hole-shots. My 50 year old spider gears spit the bit last Friday on my first (attempted) 1/4 mile pass in my Duster. Lined up, dropped the hammer @ 3500 (315 drag radials / 4:30 gear / 4-link) and with a track prepped for John Force (extra sticky), traction was not an issue. It bit...
I put the plug / play LED headlights and reverse light bulbs in my Duster and HemiMarks Demon. Easy / peasy....and WOW! are they bright. They plug right in to your OEM harness with zero effect on charging system. They have a relay built into the new harness that tucks easily behind the headlight...
The mounts were designed with a small block 727 attached plus a 3/16 spacer....and the OEM transmission mount dead in the center of the crossmember. Everything was a give / take as to front / back and side / side but that is why the HDK mounts allow adjustment.....for the optimum placement for...
Summits wholesale division / Atech invited it's customers to free track time (9am-3pm) yesterday at Norwalk Raceway Park....so Brother Weeb and I drove our Dusters for some fun.
Only about 30 cars there when we arrived so we headed right to the staging lanes. We lined up side by side....let the...
We bend them from time to time. In a batch of 50 Helwig bars they can vary up to 1" in eye to eye and anything off more than 1/4" will get "adjusted". Fog, the HDK fab guy, uses his hydraulic tubing bender.
if you never try....you may never know.
I agree, never been a fan of fuel in the trunk. it is fun to build something like this I always learn a few things for the next one.
Right about the small brakes on the big diameter rims, but just cannot get my old school head around the 19" and 20" rims on our 60 and 70's hot rods. Guess I'm...
Installed a GV in 2009 when this Hemi Duster was built. I would do it again, a simple toggle on the right front of the bucket seat brackets engages the overdrive for highway (over 55mph) driving.
29.75" tall rear tires / 4:30 gear / 2450 rpm @ 65mph....the sweat spot. The split shifting isn't...
There is plenty of info out there, do some research on exactly what you are looking for. You will likely find the basics are simple and you end up knowing more than the self proclaimed "experts"
