    I think the steering box/frame brace may be factory, or an add on because of a recall or something. It looks just like the one on my truck. I had my wife wiggle the steering wheel back and forth with the engine running so I could look to see where the play was in my steering. My steering box was...

    65 Barracuda daily driver

    That's bound to have been fun! How was sleeping in the car? I've wondered if it would be hard to do on a road trip. I'm 6' and 225, so I'd probably get tired of it pretty quick at my age...lol.

    Spring perch pics

    Edit for correction. The original perches still on the housing measure 33/64 in the center hole, NOT 13/64 as I originally stated. I was trying to keep too many numbers in my head to get back to the house from the garage, so I could post easier on the laptop instead of my phone. :realcrazy:

    Spring perch pics

    Y'all are exactly right!! I was trying to keep too many numbers in my head and posted the wrong one for the originals, which I will go back and edit now. I went out and measured the original again and it is 33/64. That's the half way good one....the other one is toast! Sorry for the mix up...

    Spring perch pics

    I said the originals measured 13/64, if you look at the first post again. It's barely big enough for a 1/2" drill bit to fit the hole on the original that is still on the housing....but wallowed out from too many years of side stepping the clutch. :eek: The perches are on an A body 8 3/4...

    Spring perch pics

    I like the Moroso ones after looking at them when @Icetech mentioned them a bit ago. If I were putting them in something besides a run of the mill street car, I would fix the ends to mimic the MP ones so they would be less prone to break.

    Those would work good, and save fiddling with making bushings. :thumbsup:

    Spring perch pics

    Are they curved up at the ends like the factory ones? Wouldn't matter in my putt around 65 Barracuda, but if you put perches without the ends being somewhat boxed by the curved up ends, a high HP car will wad them up in short order.

    Spring perch pics

    Just posting what my ultra high dollar Harbor Freight digital calipers said. Dana asked for a pic of the new ones vs old, and there it is. The hole in the old one still on the housing may be out of whack. Holes in both old perches are wallowed out and the one above is the best one. I plan on...

    Spring perch pics

    @Dana67Dart Here is a pic you requested in another thread the other day. Center hole in the new MP spring perches measures 11/16. Hole in the originals measures 33/64, and the center stud of some E body springs I have laying around has an OD of 1/2”. Hope this helps. You need to make some...

    Where can I buy a reliable remanufactured 318 for 1971 Duster?

    It could be either the intake gasket, or the O ring on the distributor. I'd about bet it's the corner of the intake gasket. If you don't have one, you could get one of those little round mirrors on an extendo stick like an antenna mast to look and find the leak without having to crawl all over...

    Poor little Marshall :( I'm sure it hurt....been thru it myself too many times. Very sorry for your loss. I'm going to pull my steering box off and weld the cracks in the frame, and probably plate it too. It already has the diagonal brace that runs over beneath the radiator. I've gotta move my...

    Where can I buy a reliable remanufactured 318 for 1971 Duster?

    I called them when I was looking to buy a remanufactured 4.7 for my 2004 Dakota. The guy I talked to acted like he didn't want to answer any of my questions about their processes or whether they did any upgrades to alleviate any of the known problems of those engines. He didn't seem to care...

    Hey Kevin! That will make a nice ride around truck. I have an 88 D100 long bed with a 318 that I'm gonna swap a 98 5.9 Magnum into, hopefully this coming winter. My 88 is the 5.5 bolt pattern. I'm gonna keep it 5.5 because it has factory rallye wheels. I have a early 70's D100 8 3/4 to swap into...

    Am I crazy or is this project Duster way overpriced?

    Will a b/e-fuel tank fit with a modified a-body pan?

    You might be able to use a Challenger tank, but you would have to swap the fill tube to the passenger side. Cuda tanks have a rear fill tube, but the tube would end up in the tail panel of your Duster. A friend of mine used a Mustang tank in a Duster. I fit well, but the gas cap being in the...

    1970 Duster Front Brake Conversion Kit for SBP

    I've never had a 15 x 7 SBP rallye wheel in my hands, so I don't know. OP has those wheels and hopes to keep them. If I remember right, the wheels are hub centric instead of lug centric. The only 14" SBP Rallye wheel I have is buried under 30 years of parts hoard in my shed, so I ain't digging...

    1970 Duster Front Brake Conversion Kit for SBP

    Dumb question maybe.....but wouldn't it just be easier to buy ten 1/2-20 RH lug nuts and move the studs to the 5x4 position?
