    75 1/4 panel skin question

    So prob silly question but other than marker placement, can I use a rear 71 quarter skin on my 75 duster? Found one for good price at home and be nice if it would work out. Thanks

    LA Small block valve size?

    Does anyone know what the origonal 2.02 valve lengths are?

The # i come up with by just a digital caliper is 4.973" in over all length but maybe I need...

    Strange ignition question

    Thanks to all for chiming in, The help was much appreciated. Had some time to get out in the car and explore the ignition switch wiring today. Turned out that the run wires for starting and running were reversed. Tested and functioning properly now. The biggest confusion was the after market...

    Strange ignition question

    My plug was disintegrated as well as the new plug was the same shape but different size. I can't be only that "that" has happened to. Lol but I read the aftermarket parts did have an issue with wiring color as well as it wasn't installed into the plug, was in the box with the ignition

    Strange ignition question

    I put a new ignition in but the problem was that the new ignition wire coloring is different than the original. So I'm thinking maybe that may be the issue is that 2 wires are reversed?

    Strange ignition question

    I'll test it but it is brand new, and same happens with the one that was in it before. Just to add, I used the ballast resistor in my dodge van to test an issue in the van and started fine in it, that said though, I will test it and put up what I find. Appreciate it

    79' 318 ecu is live

    Take it easy there Andy! The Box WAS MOUNTED and still same issue. I ALSO grounded it when off the firewall to probe, (not run) Fake or not? I don't know, but believe it to be original to the motor. So easy with the I don't read crap please. Some grasp things a little differently than others.

    79' 318 ecu is live

    From what I've understood, if it is grounded properly, with ignition in run position it should not be live like it is. But ill swap it out from one on my duster then can purchase new for the duster if thats case.

    None of the rest of the body is live, I've probed all kinds of things to make sure
