Hey folks, Trying to make room in the garage before spring. Located in 99336 Kennewick WA. Can ship the smaller stuff but I don't have the weights on any of this. I will trade/partial cash for an Abody disc brake setup BBP (including arms and spindles), thats really all I'd consider for...

I didn't buy a kit from crackedback (yet), I opted for SlantSixDan's kit (doesn't include wiring, hence cheaper). However, I wished I went with the cracked kit for this reason alone: Driving to NAPA, buying the wire, cutting it a little short for the high beam run, having to go BACK to NAPA...

Stumbled across this site selling repopped 72 tail lights. Has anyone bought a set that could comment on the quality? Or are these NOT the tail lights I'm looking for ? (waves hand) http://www.restorationperformance.com/1972-duster-fastback-tail-light-lens-lh/

Guys be careful with the Harbor Junk air saws. The piston has an aluminum stud which inserts into the steel collar that holds the blade on. I've stripped my last 2 brand new HJ air saws at that aluminum stud location. They are super handy for tight/confined cuts, but if you lug them down even...

To add to Bruces comment, you can get a Harbor Junk 7/16" wrench and apply heat and bend it so it fits around and under the distributor. Be sure to accommodate for the trigger wires so they don't hit the wrench as you tighten or loosen the distributor. Crafty individuals can weld a long...

I'm in your neck of the woods. Feel free to PM me.

Final update on this. Installed a new Crane Hi-6 Fireball ignition. Midrange miss is totally gone. I suspect either a bad factory ECU or ground on it.

I bought a cardone from amazon a few months ago. Same exact situation for me as well, but i had my original distributor to rob parts from.

I wonder if this is how the wives tale of "store your batteries in the freezer" came to fruition?

UPDATE. The car starts and runs. Got a packard 56 connector from NAPA (85 cents) for the brown coil + wire, cleaned the firewall connectors with brake cleaner (didn't have electrical cleaner) and got all that buttoned back up including filling the female connectors with dielectric grease. I...

I decided to dive into the bulkhead connector. Mine had this tar lookin crap on top of the connectors in the engine bay which I had to scrape off so the connectors would come out. Minor PITA but I got them off. I found all connections were bright shiny brass, looks like the tar protected it over...

I can re-check the ohms on coil again for you no problem. How would I test the brown wire into the bulkhead? Tell me if this works: Unhook brown wire connector which includes the red/green wire from the ballast resistor. Find the flat white plastic connector inside the car along the...

Amongst the thousands of posts about weak/no spark, here is my problem. 75 duster slant six/automatic. A/C. It has spark, but its very weak and won't start/fire. I'll be perfectly clear with ALL of you, I'm no electronics wizard, I just plain don't understand it enough to troubleshoot under...
