    8.25 axle source

    Hey guys I have a 8.25 in my Duster and the axle bearing surfaces are a little scored. I used some repair bearings but it think it is time for some new axles. Where would be the best place to look for some new ones. Most of the big companies only have dakota or durango shafts. Can these...

    Fuel Filter/Pressure Issue

    Could it be heat soak...the gas getting hot and evaporating in the filter and fuel bowl after a good run. Had this problem with my slant..Just another possibility to consider... Good Luck

    You know you're in trouble when

    Man sometimes I really have to wonder.....Went into my local Chrysler dealership and asked the guy behind the parts counter (who's been there forever) for a water pump gasket for a 360 LA engine.....The guy looks a me like I have two heads and asks what's an LA...I know it's been since 1992 but...

    Best starting point for V8 swap

    The manifolds are 70 340 manifolds. I have magnum manifolds but I got tti head pipes with the manifolds so I will keep them until I get the bug for more HP then get headers.

    Best starting point for V8 swap

    Well after a lot of work and searching for various odds and ends I was able to get the 360 into the Duster. Had a little trouble lining up the drivers side bolt hole drilled for the conversion mounts but after some swearing at it and another lift and drop with the cherry picker it decided to go...

    A/C Discharge Hose

    Looking for a 70 to 73 V8 discharge hose for use on my 73 Duster. I am swapping out the /6 for a 360 and can't make the original /6 discharge hose work (bends are all wrong). Original part numbers would be 3441517, 3441411, or 3502517. NOS or and easily restorable line would be great...

    Should I get a 360 motor/tranny

    According to the parts manuals all /6 cars with air got larger diameter torsion bars...the same size bars as 318 cars. This was done to compensate for the extra weight of the compressor etc. My 73 /6 with factory a/c had 318 bars in it. Those came out and solo road racing bars went in...a...

    Rear seat interchange?

    Been there tried that didn't work. But what did work was taking the really nice seat covers off the 4DR frames and putting them on my 2Dr seat frames. Took them to an upholstery shop and they added a bit of material on each side of the seat bottom. Looks great....There is a picture of the...

    a/c. /6 to V8

    I am doing the same swap. The suction and discharge hoses are different but I might be able to make them work. Also the inlet on the back of the compressor is at a different angle. I sourced one off a V8 car but I didn't try it so you might be able to make it work. It's been too hot to get...
