I'll be purchasing a new fuel pump for my 1974 Duster 225 slant six engine. The FSM says that the correct one for my car is a Carter MS-4844S. The Carter website no longer has this pump, but says to use a Carter M60577 (see photo from Carter website). If I go to NAPA, will I just be buying a...

Thanks!

Hello MoBros and MoSis': I trust you've all been sleeping well since the most recent sleep inducing chapter of my component resto articles. Just when you thought you were rid of me, I'm back at it again with the biggest project of this series - a new engine for Dusty. But first a little...

So I could use the Dorman 56358 for the bypass hose fitting on the underside of the cylinder head, right?

Thanks!

Thanks. I saw that number there but assumed that it was a manufacturer's code number.

Yeah, likely every slant six head out there. I've never seen a 225 cylinder head without them still inside.

Thanks, townsend. Do you have the model number of the 3870902 Holley 1945 carb?

Here's a photo of the other piece of casting rod pulled from my cylinder head. So there were two pieces drifting around in there since November 29, 1973 the day the head was cast. There was none in the engine block casting. So for those of you who might be looking for this stuff in your head, be...

It measures at 18" long. About two bananas.

Just started the rebuild job on my 1974 Duster slant six and found this. If you recall, several years ago I asked if anyone had ever seen these funny looking rods in their engine castings. Apparently, they are part of the sand casting process and are not a part of the engine itself. Mother Mopar...

So what would be the harm if I simply capped the charcoal canister nipple where the canister-to-carb line goes? If I end up using the 902 carb (the NOS one that doesn't have an attachment for the vapor return system) that would effectively isolate the charcoal canister from the engine and...

Thanks, townsend. Is this carb (3870902) also a Holley carb? If so, do you know the Holley model number? Thank you!

Thanks for the reply, Don. Here's where I'm at. In the first photo below, there is a filled in hole that looks like a dimple between the two screw holes on the left side of the carb. On my Holley 1945, there is a metal nipple in this spot, with a rubber vacuum hose attached to the nipple which...

Thanks, Dan. That sounds like great advice. My difficulty in using the 902 carb from the 75-77 model year is that it appears to not be a direct "plug and play" unit. For example, there are several more vacuum ports on the Holley 1945 than on the 902 unit. So I don't know what vacuum ports go...
