Hey Guys, I have two front bucket seats (with tracks) from a 1973 Plymouth Duster. The upholstery is worn; however, it is not destroyed and is in usable condition as is. The old upholstery has some splits and should be recovered. A full rebuild should be done for show quality, but I have a new...

I'm considering putting some air shocks on the rear of my 1972 Plymouth Scamp to raise it up just a little. Has anyone tried the "Monroe MA704 Max-Air Air Shock Absorber"? If so, any feedback would be appreciated. Also, if you can recommend any other air shocks that will fit a 72 A Body, I would...

Anyone have the lower shift bracket for A-body with a factory floor shifted 727 automatic transmission? I think the bracket mounts to the transmission tailshaft casting via two thru bolts. I also need the shift knob, with button and spring for a 72' Duster. Thanks,

Hey A Body Experts, I need a little help here on tips and tricks for aligning and bolting up a 727 to a 360 in an a body. For those of you who have done this before, I'm sure you know that there is very limited space for algining the transmission and getting the guide pins to slip in enough...

Hey Guys, I'm planning an automatic column shift to automatic floor shift conversion for my Duster. Should I expect any problems using a floor shift steering column from a 1974 Dodge Dart Sport automatic with power steering in a 1972 Plymouth Duster automatic with power steering? Are...

Hey Transmission Gurus, I need a little help identifying a 727 TorqueFlite Transmission. I think the number stamped into the rail just above the pan on the driver’s side is, “PK40 9538 5884 8211”. The “P” could be a “B” and the 11th digit could be a "6” instead of an 8. I found this...

Hey Guys, For those of you looking into stock intake manifolds, I came across this thread, http://www.bionicdodge.com/bionic/index.php?topic=5659.0 I can't vouch for the accuracy of the content, but it appears to be some good information. Can anyone verify it?

This is just my opionion, but stopping is just as important (if not more) as going fast. Out there on the freeway, our little drum brake equipped A-bodies are competing with modern vehicles with high-tech suspensions and high-quality, four-wheel disc brake systems. And I'm pretty sure that other...

Has anyone tried using the old log-style truck manifolds with a 360 swap in an A-body with power steering? I've got a 72 Duster with power steering, ac, Schumacher conversion mounts - S/6 to 360 LA, TF 727, column shift (plan to convert to floor shift eventually), and a mini-starter. Can I use...

Hi A-Body Folks, I've got a running 1972 225 cu in (3.7L?) slant six engine and A904 TorqueFlite Transmision for sale. Both are in working condition and still in a 1972 Plymouth Duster. I'd like to sell this combo before I start my engine swap. I'm asking $300 for the combination. I...

Hello All, Any of you tried installing a used late 90's 360 Magnum into an old A Body? If so, what kind of issues did you run into? Are there any good tech articles out there on the subject? Thanks,

Hey Guys, Anyone have an old slant six (225) engine oil dip stick that you are willing to part with? Mine broke in half and the bottom half now resides in my oil pan, making the stick pretty worthless. I am eventually going to pull the /6 out and replace the motor with a 360, but I need...

Hi Guys, Can anyone tell me where I can find a good set of 10" x 1.75" brake drums for a 1972 Plymouth Duster with an 8.75" rear end? I believe the Chrysler part number is "3580551" and I think these were used on all 1971-72 Darts, Dusters, and Valiants with V-8 or six-cylinder with...

Hi All, I'm trying to find out if the "Richard Petty Blue" color was available as an optional "Special Order Paint" on 1972 Plymouth Dusters. I have found references to Chrysler Paint Code "C37D (Special Order Paint)" which I belive was for 1970 Chrysler vehicles, but I can't find it for 72'...

I replaced the master cylinder on my 72' Duster yesterday and it would have been a relatively simple job if I didn't have to spend so much time trying to separate the brake pedal push rod from the master cylinder. I ended up removing the internal components from the old master cylinder and...

Hi Folks, I started cleaning up the rust inside my trunk yesterday on my 72' Duster and found a few holes (not the ones that chrysler put there intentionally). The rust had eaten through the sheet metal in the bottom of my spare tire well (underneath the keyhole brace in the center). I...

Hi Gents, If you are replacing a 904 with a 727, do you need to have a transmission support? I don't even know if I have one under my 904. If there is one for the 904, can you use the same support for the 727? Thanks,

Hi Gents, I'll be looking to install a stock 360 in my 72' Duster at some point and was wondering if any of you can talk about the differences (advantages/disadvantages) between 360s built in various years and what I should look for. For example, if I have a choice between a stock rebuilt...
