Oooo! I like this idea!! I am planning on finishing my AC install at some point. @str12-340 Why I was thinking of doing it myself, because the 2 shops that are willing to do it do not do mobile services. I have to bring my car to their shop and they don't want me in there fiddling with the car...

Now that we're back on track in this thread: I found this thread in the past as I thought about doing something similar before but found a Borgeson setup on fleabay for like half the cost of a new one as it was off of a wrecked Valiant and decided to go that route. Hopefully you can glean some...

So quick question: I have a crack on my windshield on my duster from top to bottom almost at the halfway point, how was the replacement for you? I have 0 experience with windshields of any sort and there are only 2 shops in my local area that know how to work with these types of windshields. All...

But a huge bonus if she's both!

Need more info... You say it idles fine... Good. What happens if you give it a little gas while idleing? Does it stumble? This could be anything from a carb problem to a clutch or torque converter issue, or even a transmission problem.

@rumblefish360 I'm tellin' you man I'll take that Cuda- err I mean storage shelf off of ya. Free of charge! :lol:

This thread is over 10 years ago. @318mare / @middleagecrisis I really doubt you'll get anything from this... The OP hasn't been online since May of 2014.

I did see some of folks in other forums making a homemade caustic soda brew to remove rust, that's too much. It's basically Lye (sodium hydroxide). What you made is safer, it works and won't cause alkali burns on the skin in case you have an accident.

I edited my post since then. Evaporust does not have phosphoric acid. It's a soda wash like what you made, chelates the rust, does not convert it. CRC does make a rust converter, I imagine it has a phosphoric acid in it as well as other "trade secrets" chemicals in it.

Pretty much, other products use phosphoric acid, (also in Naval Jelly, Rust Mort, Ospho, and most rust converters). - It's also in most cola drinks like Coke and Pepsi. I actually saw an old timer using coke to remove rust off his chrome bumper on his 65' Belair once when I was younger. And we...

Not too familiar with the 232, The only AMC motors I've dealt with are V8 401's, 360's, then the 4.0L(242ci) and the 4.2L(258ci) straight six's. - I looked up the 232, apparently it's just a smaller sibling to the 4.0's and 4.2's and maybe not as durable?

Yeah I used to be into Jeeps in the early 2000's, especially the old XJ's and TJ's. I also played around with Dodge Rams a lot starting in the 90's. I owned a 1984 Ramcharger, 1983 Dodge Ram W150, and a 1989 Ram W100. All sadly gone. I really miss the 1983 Ram I had, until some fat Momma the...

When I bought my QA1 sway bar, the instruction manual pretty much stated: "Use 73-76 Lower control arms with sway bar tabs if using stock style LCA."

OK hear me out. I have a 1990 Roller LA 360 out of a wrecked Ramcharger that's in my Duster for now, I did some research into the roller LA's and Magnums awhile back. From what I can tell Jeeps never had the roller LA, they all had Magnums from 1993 on. The regular (XJ) Cherokee's and Wranglers...

So my front suspension of my 74 Duster is pretty much all QA1. QA1: K-member, Upper control arms, Tie rods sleeves (larger 11/16 size), front sway bar, Stocker star NA shocks and front strut rods. Lower control arms are pretty much stock but with welded in reinforcement. PST 1.03" Torsion bars...
