    Hello from SW WI, my name is Galen Govier and I just signed up to this site.

    Wow, it's been a while since I have been a regular on here. Those are some pretty sporty comments, kind of reminded me why I stopped participating in LS1GTO. Not that I am Mr. Rogers but I try not to post something that I wouldn't say to someone in person. Peace.

    Awesome! I had your little white book when I built my Duster 360 many years ago, was super helpful to have with me at swap meets or before buying something on evil bay!

    Steve Magnante has been MIA for awhile....here is why:

    I think he has encephalitis, scary stuff, I read up on it this morning and two of the common causes are bites from mosquitoes and ticks, something commonly run across in a field or junkyard. I wish him well and have been an avid watcher of his YouTube channel.

    1973 Plymouth Duster 360

    Car has been inactive for a couple of years. We have done quite a bit to make her a driver again. Fixed the heater and climate control stuff and then moved on to fixing leaks and a noisy lifter. It all started when we loaned it out for a movie shoot and it started leaving puddles on the floor.

    Flowtech headers in a Early A Body

    If the rack is going in the same location as the centerlink I would say you will have problems. I have the old PAW specials on my Duster, probably similar to the Flotec stuff and the clearance for tie rods, pittman and idler is really tight. Can't see the rack taking up less area. If it's...

    Rear End Swap 7-1/4" to 8-1/4"

    Best places to look are craigslist, ebay, contact a local salvage yard that specializes in old mopars. I have used Texas Acres to locate parts in the past if you don't mind paying freight. I have also scored parts through making connections at swap meats, auto auctions, flea markets, where...

    Almost no oil pressure help

    I had that happen on a rebuild one time, the new lifters were not soaked in oil before install and the engine was fired up without priming sytem. The engine clacked allot on start up before settling down, oil light on, did this several times on start up and then eventually stopped doing it...

    Rear band questions

    You didn't state whether it's a slant or small block case. Pretty sure you can't swap bands unless the case came with the wider one. I remember trying to donate some parts from my slant 6 trans to my small block trans and I think the low reverse band was narrower on the slant but may have...

    Engine reseal suggestions (possibly cam too)

    Yep, replace the head gasket while it's out, even if you don't spring for the head milling a new gasket is good peace of mind. Just remember if you go with an .040 composition gasket it will lower compression from the stock .020 steel shim gasket. Also make sure your breather and pcv/hose are...

    Stalls with electrical loads

    Edit: My cam specs were improperly listed, actual is 270/280 .420 I/.443 E 204/214 lift @.050. This has been my cam of all seasons choice for everything from 305,350 and 383 Chebbies and the same grind spec for my 360 Duster. Tons of torque, good power, fair economy and 100,000 mile plus...
