So I've had my 1973 duster for about a year now and when gas prices went crazy last year I parked in the garage and didn't drive it nearly as much as I would have liked to. On one of the occasions when I did bring it out, the brake master cylinder had gotten so low that I ended up with air in my...

My wife's been out of town with our primary vehicle all week so I've had the pleasure of being able to drive my duster a lot more. Unfortunately just now as I was trying to leave for work, I ran into a weird issue. When I turn the key nothing happens. It doesn't try to turn over. Doesn't make...

I took the instrument cluster out of my 73 Plymouth Duster awhile back to replace the fuel gauge and while I was in there I replaced all of the light bulbs. Now my fuel gauge works but my dash lights don't. I think I bought the right bulbs for replacement, I looked online and asked the guys at...

Might be a dumb question but I'm curious. I currently have my instrument cluster pulled out. I am also about halfway through installing a set of electrical aftermarket gauges and a retro sound stereo system. The guy who owned the car before me apparently tore out a ton of the original wiring...

I recently took out my instrument cluster to replace by fuel gauge and voltage regulator as part of my entire fuel system overhaul from tank to gauge. Everything is back in the car and the fuel gauge is "working" (another issue for another day) but now my speedometer isn't working. My guess is...

I know there are alot of threads about the various ways to install a kill switch for anti theft purposes and that they almost all involve cutting off power to the vehicle. I was wondering if there was another option. The other day I was driving and the rubber vacuum caps on my break master...

Hey guys I've been trying to get my fuel gauge working for a few months (one weekend at a time) and have gone through the entire system starting back at the tank The car now has: A brand new fuel tank. Brand New sending unit which is ground to the frame. A brand new mechanical fuel pump New...

Hey guys I'm trying to tackle my fuel gauge problem and in the process I am removing my instrument cluster to switch out the gauge. My issue is the temp and oil gauges are keeping me from removing the cluster. I can dismount the gauges from the back but obviously they won't pull through and I...

I bought some new valve covers recently and when they showed up I noticed they came with two twists on breathers. My current setup has one breather on the passenger side and one PCV on the driver side. Assuming I can purchase a PCV locally, will a push in pcv with grommet go into a twist on hole...

Hey guys I'm about to install one of those retro sound stereos in my Duster. I have done multiple radio installations in the past but this one promises to be a bit different because the car currently has no radio at all and it appears all of the original radio wiring has been taken out of the...

Anybody have any orders for upholstery items you've recently received from classic industries? If so how long did it take to come off back order? I've had a rear bench seat cover on order for awhile now and some door panels on back order since the beginning of June. I know between COVID and...

So as I've mentioned in previous posts I've just purchased a 1973 Plymouth Duster just like the one I had in my 20s. It's at the body shop getting a fresh paint job right now so I've been reading everything I can (bought the service manuals for it) and have been buying parts for things I want to...

Hey guys I'm really enjoying my new Duster and restoring all the little things it's missing. As you can guess from the title of this thread it has a 360 engine and still has the AC pump connected. The ac doesn't work and to be honest the pump is just kind of in the way when it comes to things...

I have an odd issue with a Duster I just bought and am restoring. The black button on the shifter doesn't appear to do anything. I can change gears from park all the way down to 1st without pressing it. This in itself wouldn't be a problem except sometimes the shifter seems to move on its own...

I'm having a bit of a problem with my 73 Duster. 360 engine. Stock carb. I bought it last Saturday from a really nice guy who lives about 83 miles away from me. He said he filled the tank for me but on the way home I "ran out of gas" with about 24 miles to go I put that in quotes because I...

I know there are about of threads on here regarding fuel gauges and sending unit and all the problems that can arise with OEM sending units. Here is my potentially dumb question that I've been unable to find an answer too... If I replace both my fuel gauge AND my sending unit with OEM...
