    torsion bar and ps box upgrade

    you talking about poly bushings for the springs? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rat-324k/overview/year/1975/make/plymouth/model/duster does this look right? i cat find any information about bearing sizes. only thing it says is that its for a 29 spline pinion. i know my axels are 27 spline...

    torsion bar and ps box upgrade

    ok so my car being a 75, i will be looking for the later model bearings. i also picked up my ss springs from a craigslist guy. on my car, i have these sort of "drop brackets" for mounting the rear of the spring. there are 4-5 holes i can choose from to "lift" the rear of the car. is this...

    torsion bar and ps box upgrade

    okay i would have to use a different coupler for sure then. i actually had togrind the steering shaft end in order for me to drive the car to various places for me to work on it. that way it wouldnt wear completely through the headers.

    torsion bar and ps box upgrade

    pulling heads

    well i did not mention that the engine only has about 200 miles on it. i got the car with it bolted in to the engine mounts (no wiring hooked up at all). was told it was broke in at the shop it was rebuilt in out in idaho. so i would assume my compression numbers should be excellent, but thats...

    pulling heads

    im trying to get the duster into a storage unit for the winter right now. as soon as i do, i can work on it. by running a compression test, and measuring the valve travel what am i accomplishing? my assumption is cam duration with the valve travel. but what am i getting by knowing compression...
