Wow! Hope.my next one lasts that long.

What year duster did this come from?

How do you empty the mailbox here?

Yep,that's what Junkyardhero and others were saying. Nobody wants them and you can usually get them for super cheap or free. Too bad that ones in Ohio. $2 bucks is even cheaper than this one. That's a price even Jack Benny can't grouse about! Lol.

It's refreshing to hear something positive about the 7 1/4". Wish mine had held up like that,but I don't know.how it was driven before I bought it. Hope the next one holds up like yours did.

The comment was meant somewhat jokingly. I just meant im not beating on the car and breaking the tires loose at every light. I drive extra gentle with the car because all I ever hear is that these 7 1/4" rears are junk and will "grenade" behind even a 273 Especially if you accelerate going into...

Wow! That's pretty good. I've always wondered if the feather duster really got the mileage they advertised

Hey,if nothing else at least some entertainment came out of my misfortune. Lol. And it's interesting to hear one person say there will be a huge difference and others say it won't matter. I drive it gently because I have read so many threads here where people claim the 7 1/4" is "as fragile...

Thanks for all the input guys. Like 71GssDemon said,iI'm Just going to go for it and keep looking for an 8 3/4" eventually.

I like the 2.94 gears too. That's why I was curious as to how dramatic the difference would be.

It's an entirely stock 68 dart with 273 2bbl and torqueflite. It's a daily driver. I drive it like Ward Cleaver not Mario Andretti. LOL. I do city and freeway driving.

Hi,how much difference (if any) would I see in performance and mileage switching from a 7 1/4" with 2.94 rear to one with 2.76 gears? This is in a 68 dart with 273 and torqueflite . Not doing this because I want to,but because there's something wrong with the original rear end. Anybody who's...

Does anybody in the socal area have a good working cheap complete ready to drop in and use 7 1/4" rear end with 2.94 gears for a 1968 Dart 270 with 273 and torqueflite automatic? This is for a daily driver car that im trying to get back on the road. Not a rich man's hot rod or weekend toy. I...
