70 Duster, switched to 10" drums. Parking brake is now pulling too tightly mostly on the driver's side. Unfortunately the nut on the adjuster is rust welded on. Any tricks I could do to get it at least a few hairs looser without replacing the whole front line? If I were to replace the front...

Does the headlight switch need to be grounded to the instrument cluster body normally? I'm working with a modified cluster and electronic gauge board, and the metal parts of the body are removed. I noticed issues with the dome light. I assume my issue is I need to run a ground now from that...

Probably a silly question but the driver's side wheel developed a bunch of negative camber, and since I've adjusted it all the way out and it's still at like 84 degrees, I assume something else is affecting this. Would it most likely be the upper control arm ball joint? Or something else? It's...

I currently have a rear drum setup with the 10x1.75" brakes. I'm swapping in the b-body 10x2.5" drum and accompanying parts. Will anything carry over? Just wondering because all of the brake hardware is fairly new. I'm especially wondering about the adjuster cross bar. I'm not asking about...

I installed these dutchman axles a few years ago, and they have very few miles on them. I pulled them out today to replace the pumpkin, and this is what I find. What in the world would cause this? This is just the one axle. Full size pictures...

Looking for a dash cluster insert for my 70 Duster. I would prefer an ABS type with no holes cut out, but let me know what you have. Standard not rallye

All of the parts store wheel cylinders seem to come with the janky 6.5mm head bleeder screws that are too small and break off the next time you go to actually bleed them. Nevermind trying to find a 6.5mm wrench. Does anyone still make a USA made part or does anyone know of a brand that at least...

I have a 2000 dodge ram that uses a saginaw style power steering pump. Off topic I know but I'm sure some of you have dealt with the o-ring style fittings. The main pressure fitting needs an o-ring replaced. The o-ring on the fitting not the one on the hose end. Anyone know where I can get one...

Looking to do a swap with an a833, and have the transmission. Just need everything else. The pedal assembly is the main thing I am looking for.

So when I picked up my 440 duster to tow it home, it would start, but didn't sound healthy, and soon after I realized the carb was just flooding everywhere. I had it running a couple times but only for a few seconds each time, before I realized it. I got it onto the trailer with tow straps, and...

Hi guys, So I tried to convert my power brakes to manual, and I thought it was going to be at least somewhat straightforward. Of course I was wrong, or did something wrong. I bought a new master cylinder and adjustable brake rod from Doctor Diff, which is listed as "Super duty heim-joint style...

I am interested in purchasing an engine from a gentleman in the Mesa area, and if things check out, I'll have someone go and pick it up and drive it back to me. Right now though I need someone to check the engine out and verify that actually exists and is as close to advertised as possible. If...

So I finally got a piston stop tool and spent some time today verifying TDC, since I've never been 100% sure. I rotated it around both ways, marked things, found the middle, and it was where TDC was marked on the balancer. I made sure this matched with the valves being closed and the rockers...

Going through some rough times and looking for people to just shoot the sh*t with, and work on cars. Working on cars is the one thing I can do without a lot of thought and it eases the nerves. I'm in Gulfport, MS, and I know maybe 2 people here, so anyone who needs help with anything or just...

Someone in CA is selling their 69 Valiant for a steal

Looking for a manual 4 speed pedal set from a 68-70 b or c body. Thanks! Alex

I am looking for a Dodge Ram, 2500 or 3500, in running condition, in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area or reasonably close. Price range, up to 10K depending. Thanks Alex

70 Duster. I have a bad leak up front on the drivers side I am almost sure is from the windshield seal. I've replaced the wiper seals to no avail. I have some work to do to the car over a short period of time and I would like to remove the glass, replace the dash pad, and have the glass replaced...

Anyone have a temporary fix for a part of the windshield seal leaking water into the cabin floor on the driver's side? I've replaced the wiper pivot seals and all, and I'm 99% sure it's just coming in through the bottom windshield seal somewhere. I'd like to replace the windshield eventually but...

I'm looking for the area that bolts into or on to the front yoke, and I believe it is called the headlight mounting plate. It is normally part of the fender, but I only need the front parts that are behind the headlight. Passenger side. 73 Plymouth Duster. Trying to make a repair without...

I've started a million threads regarding this car, so I might as well start keeping track of things in a build thread. I've come a long way though, so I'll try to list the replacements/upgrades. The goal is something between a car that could autocross or rally race, which it will probably do...

So, slant six, 198 with a super six intake and 2bbl carter carb. The PO said he upgraded the cam using a mopar purple stick. I've never confirmed any sort of cam numbers at all. Anyhow, I've tuned the hell out of the thing to try to get timing and fuel and everything just right, and it seems to...

So I just got my 'used' 8.75 rear end installed, along with the cut driveshaft. I'm getting a low frequency moan between 35-40 MPH. Doesn't seem to matter if I'm accelerating, or decelerating, it will happen in that range. There is no vibration that I can feel, it remains as smooth as usual as...

Anyone else see that the Roadkill show is going to be working on a Duster in their next episode? *Crossing fingers for a turbo slant six*

No that's not my **** name. My headlights went out, so troubleshooting, found that one of the contacts on one of the lamps was almost broken off. I replaced the lamps, and then it was still not working. Only the brights would work. So I was getting a good voltage reading up until about 8 inches...

So I took my driveshaft out and remoed the u-joints and cleaned it up so I could put new ones in. Then I realized I forgot to mark which end is which. Does it matter? It's off a 70 Duster, slant six with a 904 auto, and I'm taking it to get it shortened so it will be getting rebalanced. It...

So I bought a 8.75 rear end pretty much complete minus brake hardware, and just started digging into it to replace what should have been the only thing that it needed, the seals. It's got tapered bearings on the axles. I got the axles out, and after looking into the housing I notice that the...

I'm swapping an a-body 8.75 rear to replace my 7.25 rear. I realize I need to replace the rear brake lines to fit the new rear, but can I use the old distribution block? It currently doesn't seem to have a vent bolt, but just a bolt. If I replace the bolt with a vent bolt, will it just bolt in...

I assume these are different from the 9" drum, and I'm upgrading the rear and 10" drums, and I'm missing the strut bar and anti-rattle spring for the parking brakes. I need two of course, one for each side. Any reasonable offer considered. I'm at 39503

Ok well, just got this 73 Duster, and over the last couple of drives around town it has started to develop a clattering in the steering column. It has an aftermarket grant wheel, btw, but otherwise is a column shift. It doesn't lock when it normally would, with the key in the off position. I can...
