    Over-Axle Conversion?

    I did it on a 70 Duster back when I was 16 years old. The car sat way to high in the back (there was like 4" between the top of the tire & the bottom of the wheel well) & the steering/handling sucked. I think you should wait to do it right or if you really need to do something, then buy a set...

    Buying a 1968 Charger

    The only thing I'm missing on my 68 Charger is the turn signal lenses in the hood. Painted it 20 years ago...why did I wait? If you do part it out I'd be interested in those (even though I only seen the right one) Pretty uncommon to not have a rust hole in the corners of the rear...

    What is this?!?!? and a tach question...

    It's the buzzer for the seat belts.

    Installing a 1972 A Body Manual steering box on 1973 Duster

    All A-Body manual steering boxes are interchangeable and are small sector. The change in 73 on manual steering cars was the pitman arm, center link & idler. So... if your 73 has manual steering now, you need to put your pitman on the 72 box. If your 73 has power steering it has a large sector...

    Looking for Alignment Advice

    Well Guys... I had my 73 Duster alignment re-done & you guys were right on the money. Yesterday I brought the Duster in & had them do it over with the specs that I thought I wanted, based on what I learned from you guys. I also asked what they had for preloaded specs in their rack...would you...

    Rear side marker lights wont work

    Is there corroision in the bulb socket? If there is get some dielectric grease & a little wire brush.

    Just connect them together. The Ammeter is put in "Series" with the Black & Red wires.

    Dwell readings changing?

    Sounds like a sloppy distributor shaft or a worn eccentric.

    manual steering boxes

    All of the A-body manual boxes are "small" sector & interchange. If you use a B-body/Truck/Van manual steering box that has a "large" sector...then you will need a 73 & up power steering pitman arm for an A-body. But don't use a "B" body manual box if you have headers. A large sector box will...

    I do. But really I don't know what to expect even if I could get that much caster...so what does Mr.Ed suggest?

    Looks like the Caster that I thought I wanted is gonna be tough to get. I'm guessing that I have to just take as much as I can get!

    Looking for Alignment Advice

    I did some skimming through some previous threads.There's a bunch of good info already. Right now I'm at factory specs & it sucks, I think that the caster is not positive enough. It drives straight as an arrow on good roads & seems to corner well, but when on roads that are not flat (truck...

    Looking for Alignment Advice

    I'm looking for some good sound advice on alignment specs for my 73 Duster. I keep the rear of the car slightly higher than the front & like some extra ground clearance in the front so I don't have as much chance to bang up my headers. I'm looking for the ground clearance, camber, caster...
