    1973 Plymouth Duster 360

    Car has been inactive for a couple of years. We have done quite a bit to make her a driver again. Fixed the heater and climate control stuff and then moved on to fixing leaks and a noisy lifter. It all started when we loaned it out for a movie shoot and it started leaving puddles on the floor.

    Drain it (Drain Plug install with castle nut)

    I have installed the B&M/Dorman style with the large through bolt drilled out but they always leave allot of fluid in the pan by their design. I saw this idea several years ago, use a castle nut welded in the pan and it allows the pan to completely empty, so that's what I did. Welds ain't...

    Not all seals are created equal

    Since I had the car up on jackstands to rebuild the front end I figured it was time to drop the pan, adjust the bands and replace the selector shaft seal since it was just starting to leak. Turns out the toughest part of the job was getting the new seal in. The first seal was a national seal...

    Idler Arm Failure

    My 73 Duster is on it's third replacement idler arm in maybe 30,000 miles. The last one that failed was a moog problem solver which looked pretty robust but had gone completely loose at the centerlink pivot. loose enough that the linkage was hitting the header where it did not before. Current...

    1973 Duster Bucket Seat Restoration

    After wrestling with trying to find NOS foam or repro foam for the last 2 years I gave up and just accepted the fact that I am going to have to work with what I already have. The upside is all the foam is still intact but it is mushy,unsupportive and in need of some help before putting on an...

Note the vice grips in the upper left corner of shot holding the brake hose closed. I simply cut it with...

    Glad to be here

    My A body is a 73 Goldduster with a 360 transplant. It's been in the family since it was less than one year old. I have been driving it off and on since 1981. It started out life as a well optioned slant six car with air/auto/buckets/spacesaver package. I have had a string of special interest...
