I run a shop and use Standard products on a regular basis, and they damn sure ain't what they used to be. Failures NOT uncommon. Yeah, they came out recently with Blue Streak again, supposed to be "better". Keep in mind that Standard offers two series of products, and their lower line is junk...

Marketplace has been a Godsend for me. I've bought everything under the sun off of there ! No way for me to get scammed, I go to seller's house/shop and check out item or I ain't buying. I have no desire to sell on there, though. I've had my son list a couple things for me. Search function works...

I'd like to see the breaker bar/socket combo that could break the crank bolt !

For me, the main issue with the amp gauge is having that high amperage circuit running through the "flimsy" bulkhead connector and then again running a high amperage circuit all through the dash harness. The possibility of gauge failure is of some concern, also. All of these could lead to a...

I was always under the impression that the automatic chute deployment system was not active at the top end.

Would you happen to have the right side engine harness for '74 V8 Du ster that plugs into these connectors ?

That would be good news !

I have prepped a few myself ( remove old vinyl, fill and sand with spray foam) and then had a professional upholstery shop recover them. He charged me $150 last time.

Cloyes of today is absolute Chinese junk. I went through the exact same issue on a 4.0 Jeep engine last year. Finally (after three sets) got a good one (??). They have only gotten worse since then. I own a repair shop and refuse to buy Cloyes products. Was talking to my guy at O'Reilly's the...

Quite an informative and interesting thread, this is. Going to be a very interesting vehicle. The third seat option is definitely the icing on the cake ! I have to admit that upon initially reading your first few posts, I was a little perturbed at the thought of another instance of rare parts...

I remember when +4 first came out, they sold an additive that you could add to Dex 3 to make it compatible for new transmissions. For all the shops that had 55gl drums full of Dex sitting around.

Faced almost the exact same dilema last year. Guy had a '72 Scamp (half a '70 Dart) for sale. Went to check it out and a '74 Duster was blocking it in. Chose the Scamp because we had alot of parts, but four days later went back and bought Duster. Dilema solved !

He just left the old studs in and cut/ground them off. Cleanest way to go.

You obviously don't drive in Michigan much.

Thanks for posting all this.
