    Let's talk about NFL Fans.

    To preface, I'm a huge NCAA fan, I hate everything about the NFL, I don't follow or rep any teams, but I will watch it if I'm at a bar of something. I'm from Pittsburgh, and unbiasedly, I can say Pittsburgh has some of the worst fans I have ever seen. There is a bar in downtown Oakland that...

    Looking for a way to combine my job with my love of cars, any ideas?

    Hey guys, I've been growing tired of working with nonprofits and database software and would like to open up my options. By definition and degree, I am a graphic designer/ illustrator, by practice I am a front end web designer. I'm wondering if there is anyway to merge my love for hotrods...

    Guesses on how much power this engine makes?

    1968 318 5.2liter .484" purple camshaft bored .030 over later model swirl heads Just entertaining a bunch of different engine choice at this time, probably won't go for this one since the guy replied with "I didn't build it, not sure on the miles." But now I'm just curious.

    The '74 Ruster

    Well, I figured that I mooched this forum long enough and now it's time to start some contributing... A little background on this car before I begin.. I bought this car for $400 without ever seeing it in person, on a friend recommendation. I was also in the middle of moving when I got the...

    Replacing whole fuel kit?

    Just a couple questions on the "kit" for fuel in the '74 Gold Dusters /6. My Fuel Sending Unit was shot from when I bought it, I believe a wire was snipped and just generaly trashed. Tank was leaking and straps had to get cut to be removed, so with that said, I'm building a shopping list and...

    Best solution for my cancer trunk?

    Hey guys, I started ripping up all the rug and insulation in the trunk, found out that I have this rot hole. What would be some ideas on fixing it? A few thoughts I came up with are: 1. Just get some scrap metal and weld from the piece above the passenger frame rail, then weld to...

    Wiring Harness Options

    Hey everyone, I'm looking into a new wiring harness for my 1974 Duster, my current one is very rough and tore up. What would be some options, I've seen some on JEGS/Summit for $500-ish, but I feel like that's really overpriced and maybe there was a place everyone went that was significantly...

    [WANTED] 4 cheap wheels with okay tires [SBP]

    Hey guys, My 74 SBP Duster came on 4 flats, and I need to find some cheap rims w/ non flat tires so I'm able to roll it in and out the garage. I'm not looking for anything special, just tires that aren't flat or leaking. Just need something so the car is movable by pushing. Local pickup...

    Recommend cold crank amps?

    I am going to be purchasing a new battery tomorrow for the '74 duster, I was wondering, what range for power should I be looking into? Duralast makes 2 that would work, but have varying CAs / CCAs. They all are the same price, I just want to make sure I get the right one for that won't be...

    Weird ignition predictament

The car in question is a 1974 Gold Duster /6 225 - autotragic First problem: The duralast battery that came with it is completely dead So I ended up using a crappy autocraft battery that was in my...

    What would you consider too far gone for a frame?

    I am hoping to go BB in my duster in the future, the frame is all rusted, but I don't believe it's rotted, or at least I don't see anywhere that is. From my inspection, the only rot is in the rear passenger wheel well. I basically don't want to go larger engine and shake the car apart. Are...

    Not really sure where to start, need help..

    So I finally got the Duster delivered to my house and the engine area is a lot worse than anticipated. A lot of rust. I'm kind of at the point where I'm not really sure where to even start. I tried to spin the fan by hand but it's pretty tight, my guess is because it's rusted, or no oil. I know...

    Anyone running 15 x 10.5s in the rear?

    So after some initial research and help from the forum I came to the conclusion that the widest tire before tubbing the car that you can run on my '74 Duster is 295 on a 10.5" wheel. Was just wondering is someone had some pictures of this set up on a Duster, what size is your side wall /...

    Help convince me to go BB in my Duster?

    So, I have a '74 Duster, who through a friend of a friend, can get a pretty solid 318, which would get built to 300-350, which would of been fine, but now I think it wouldn't be as enjoyable, or I'd always want faster? I was looking into a 440 swap but everyone I know is telling me that it...

    4 Link vs Spring Relocation? Pros/Cons?

    Hey everyone, I'm getting ready to dive into building my duster and was trying to plane what size tire/wheel I want in the rear since I want to run a staggered set up. I read that you can fit 10.5s in the rear with just the spring location kit and no tub. But I would probably end up trying to...

    General questions (scoops, stripes, etc...)

    Hey everyone, I've just been getting my shopping list ready since I finally got confirmation that I can go pick up the Duster, after they kept me gridlocked for a month. :wack: So this is a pretty lengthy post, but this is also my first dive into american cars and actually want to have a good...

    Challengers are now sleepers.

    While doing my usual Instagram browsing, came across this post from a pretty respected Automotive youtuber that I followed while he was doing the Gold Rush Rally. Apparently a challenger is a 'sleeper' because it's grey and lacks a hood scoop... I blocked out everyone's name except mine...

    How exactly do HP/Trq numbers hold up in older cars?

    Sorry for the confusing title, not really sure how to phrase this. So for instance, if you remember my post, I bought a /6 Duster for $400, I have a buddy with a 318/904 that I'll most likely swap into it, so with that being said, let's talk power. I'm not trying to build the fastest 318 out...

    Wanting to get into American muscle

    Hey everyone, I'm Ty, just kind of browsing around here. I don't know too much about Mopars or muscle cars in general, as all I've really had were JDM and Euros. Not really new to forums, have been on them for the better part of the past 4 years. After completely flopping on a BMW drift...
