    [FOR SALE] Duster headers and driveshaft

    Just replaced these in my '75 Duster and hope someone can further use them. Headers are Hedman ceramic coated with less than 10K miles in 9 years on them. Hit a few speed bumps on the left side set but no holes or crushed places in it. Pitting on the underside but look good from up top when...

    Interior rearview mirror for Duster

    Got an extremely good-looking rearview mirror off my '75 Duster. Not sure what else it fits, this is the one that attaches up between the visors. Not the day/night one, but the glass is clear with no scratches, metal is not pitted or rusted, black paint all there. Can email pics, have...

    1973-1976 Duster Taillight bezels

    Got a fairly nice pair of taillight bezels off my '75 Duster. Had them sanded and professionally painted argent silver. Some tiny bubbles on them, one more than the other. Are great for a driver. Asking $40.00 plus the cost of shipping for the pair. Got pics of them to Photobucket but can't...

    5 or 6 leaf springs?

    I've got the Mancini 5-leaf coupled with KYB's on my '75 Duster. I have other components like swaybar, frame connectors and heavy duty front suspension which will all affect your overall ride. Long story short, I like the ride, hookup when I race, and can fit 255/60/15's underneath with no issues.

    74 Dart Sport

    Here in the Midwest we'd certainly give $3-4 K for such a clean body. Selling it locally you might just keep an eye on EBay prices, check some site like AutoTrader to see what the market is. A car is always worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Throw out a ridiculously high price and...

    What axles fit 8 1/4 a-body rear

    Along the lines of this thread, does anyone know how many splines are on the '75 axles (of the 8 1/4 rear)? So far the only axles I've found for my Duster is from Moser, and they're custom made($375 with shipping for the pair). I have to get the dimensions and # of splines to them, they say...

    I want to quit smoking

    Different methods of quitting work for different folks. Keep trying them until you find one that works for you. Be advised, though, that unless you really want to quit no drug or therapy in the world will work. If you want to quit badly enough, cold turkey will work. I quit 12 years ago (2...

    8 1/4 axle shafts

    Thanks guys. Spudmaster, I just sent an email to John and it was returned to me as "mailbox not found". Would you mind checking the address again for me? I'll use your other info if John's email is bad. Thanks again.

    spash shield location question

    Just finished the '75 Duster after a 5-year resto. At the end of the body work, the 2 small right-angled black plastic (I'll call them splash shields) are still sitting here. Due to my old age, I have forgotten where they attach. I vaguely remember them being somewhere in the vicinity of the...

    My Rear Shocks Are Too Short! Need Advice!

    I think Rancho makes one sold thru Mancini that could fit the bill although pricey. I'm running stock KYB GasAJust on my XHD springs with no issues yet(althought I only have a few miles on them right now, I was told by the people at Mancini that I shouldn't have to change them) If you have...

    Early A Rear Shock Recommendations

    I've always liked identical shocks on all 4 corners, but KYB GasAJusts for the rear work great on my '75 Duster.

    Good Cheap Headers?

    Hedman or Flowtech are in the sub-$200 range. I have Hedmans on my '75 Duster 318 with p/s, p/b, a/c, and although tight, they have enough ground clearance. I should add that I am running 15 inch tires/wheels. Do yourself a favor and get the best fastening bolt system you can find with high...
