    The vin on the radiator core support only has 6 numbers, is this normal?

    On my 70 Duster the vin is on the radiator core support, driver side. I also climbed into the trunk and see that something is also stamped with 6 numbers from the upside of the package tray near the drivers side speaker. To pass inspection here in Sweden they need to see the vin stamped. I was...

    Cold Case or Griffin radiator in a 1970 Duster?

    1970 Plymouth Duster with a 360 and automatic transmission. I'm looking at the Cold Case MOP755A or the Griffin Exact Fit Radiators 5-70154. I have hard lines for the transmission cooling lines. Would be nice to have to tweak as little as possible. There is quite a difference in price of the two...

    Saginaw pump leak (with Borgeson bracket)

    This Saginaw pump never leaked when it was installed on my old 273 engine. But now I'm trying to use it on my 360 and to do that I bought this Borgeson bracket that mounts to the back of the P/S pump. Oil is now weeping out both bolt holes. It doesn't look like these bolts go into oil so I'm a...

    90 degree oil filter adapter or not?

    I have a 360 that is going into a 1970 Duster with Hooker Competition headers. The Oil filter clears the header as shown in the picture. I plan to go with a shorter filter than the one in the picture. Do I by some other reason need to use a 90 degree oil filter adapter? I would rather not use it...

    360 timing cover, which bolts go into water?

    I cant seem to find it here on FABO or by googling. I did find info on the water pump bolts. But are there any of the lower timing cover bolts that go into water or oil and need to be sealed?

    Engine balance after new pistons

    After talking to some friends I'm a bit confused about what I need to do to get my engine balanced and correct. I am putting together a 360. My plan is to use the stock crank, rods and damper. The flexplate I will be using is the B&M Flexplates 10236. I have bought Speed Pro Hypereutectic...

    Stock 360 distributor

    I need to sell of some parts to afford to continue on my 360 build. What is the value of a stock distributor for a 360? Not looking to scam a potential buyer, but what would be a fair price for this item in good working condition? Thanks in advance!

    DIY cam bearing install

    Putting together my 360 I would like to do as much as possible myself. Why? I would learn from it and also maybe get some satisfaction out from knowing that I did it myself. I have never installed cam bearings, but I think I could do it. Most of my friends have had the shop do this for them. No...

    Which long tube header that is not TTI suck the least?

    I misspelled the heading, can't seem to edit that. It should be " Which long tube header that is NOT TTI suck the least?" I can't afford TTI over here in Sweden. My old headers, brand unknown are hanging low and have seen better days. I need new ones. Over here I have found HKR5901 HOOKER...

    Steering wheel/front vibrate when braking at highway speed

    1970 Plymouth Duster, power steering, drums all around. This only happens when applying the brakes at highway speed. I passed inspection in Sweden previous summer. My brakes were was very nice and even. Some play in the idler arm even though it was brand new at that point. Maybe the header kills...

    I met this fella today when hiking the woods

    It's the only venomous snake we have in Sweden. In Swedish it is known as "Huggorm" and in latin it is "Vipera berus". Handsome fella! I should say that I did not take this photo though, I did not get too close to it. I found the photo on the internet.

    Is this a relay mod?

    This has always been on my Duster since I bought it. It clicks when you go from low beam to high beam. One wire runs directly to battery positive. A previous owner have taped all the electrical wiring together and since everything works I have never touched it. So, Im guesing some one has...

    My Duster got fresh paint today!

    I'm happy today! I love the way it came out. I have never done bodywork before, and it's nowhere near perfect. But I'm still proud of it :) A friend helped me paint it today.

    Do you paint your engines fully assembled?

    My 360 is apart now. When I'm finished working on it I will paint it. It got me thinking. Do you guys and gals like to paint it fully assembled or do you paint some of the parts separate? It's gonna be blue with aluminum intake and mopar performance valve covers. I think I'll do the pulleys...

    When a project only gets bigger and bigger

    I did not know how to title this thread. But, have you also been in a situation when your car project only seems to grow? I'm at the point where a lot of things need to get done, but I dont know what I should be focusing on first. So I work a little on this and a little on that, feeling I'm not...

    Thought I'd share my new album

    I'm of the musicians around here at FABO. My latest album was released in November. It's up on Spotify if anyone is interested. It's classic rock. I record in an old school fashion, not to be retro, it's just the way I prefer to work. No digital wizardry or editing done. Everything is played by...

    Finally, my first 360 and goals for it! I'll be asking a lot of questions.

    I'm picking up a complete 360 this weekend. It runs great and everything is there except the carb. I won't know what cam is in it before I have it apart. It's a hydraulic though. The heads are the 3769974 casting and it comes with a LD340 intake. I have a 1970 Duster. It was a /6 car when I...

    273 and 360 interchangeability?

    Well, it looks like I might finally get my hands on a 360 over here in Sweden. I have a really nice running 273 (1965) commando in my Duster today. The 360 is a rebuilt long block. Will my 273 timing chain cover and waterpump fit the 360? I'm spending pretty much all I have right now on the long...

    Paint matching

    Well, my spot repairs of rust turned out to be a big project that eats up a lot of time. It takes me ages because I have little experience. But I have patience so it's all good. Im getting close to do paint and have been at a shop to have them mix and match the old paint. I'm not sure that we...

    New decal for the instrument cluster. How to?

    1970 Plymouth Duster I would like to touch up my instrument cluster. I'm a bit intimidated of removing it from the dash though. I have a new woodgrain decal for it. Is the old one also a decal? If so, will it come off? How have you guys gone on to do a project like this? I'm intimidated...

    Color Measurement Instruments - Spectrophotometer

    Ever since I got my Duster 10 years ago all my upgrades and work have been mechanical. Besides stripes and wheels I have not really done anything to the exterior or the interior besides keeping it clean and nice. The occasional polish etc. This winter I'm thinking I'm gonna turn my attention to...

    Can you identify these front seats?

    Somewhere down the line someone removed the bench seat and replaced it with these front seats. I've never seen a Duster or even a picture of a Duster with those seats. Anyone know what car/brand these might have come from? To fold them you press a button on the backside of the seat.

    Shaky hands and precision work/small parts

    I've always had a bit of shaky hands. My father has it too. Sometimes it makes some stuff so much harder. Like changing a pump nozzle for instance. Getting that small nozzle and gasket in place can be so hard. I rather just remove the carb so I dont drop anything down the intake. Anyone have a...
