Couldn't find anything currently available during a Google search. I would love to do kicks panels speakers in my Duster. Preferably six and a half inch components. Is there anybody still making the kick panel speaker enclosures that I haven't been able to find?

Did that first, actually. Forgot to mention it. The slop isn't the issue. It's the resistance and then more slop. And im not sure what to call the factory shoe/spring/bucket thing other than rag joint. I know that's not the right term, I just can't think of it....

So, new one. I'm a little lost. Power steering in a 70 duster with a firm feel stage 3 box that has maybe 20k on it. Bought it back in 2004 or so though. 73 steering linkage and spindles and brakes. Has on center slop. Then, when starting a turn, it has resistance then feels like it breaks...

Found the horizontal slide end liners through Detroit muscle. They're coming. They offered a version of the upper stops, but im not sure what they should look like to know if theirs are correct and mine are mangled pretty badly. Have any pictures?

I got nothing on either end of my horizontal parts. Is that reproduced? Or do i need to fabricobble something? Don't know what to call it to google....

I really appreciate all you're doing for me here. Thank you.

Do you happen to have any close-ups of the vertical tracks and their mating pieces? It looks like there was some sort of rubber or felt on them at some point that is now long gone. Same with the bumpers at the top of the door that keeps the glass from rattling back and forth in the opening...

Any good write ups or how tos? The guts of the drivers door on my 70 are just junk. I have some spare parts, but not really sure what it should have looked like to begin with, or how to properly assemble and adjust it. Its also been 20 years and some serious head trauma since I was in there...

My 70 (73 steering linkage) duster needs yet another idler arm. I got 1000 miles out of this one! Who makes the good stuff these days? I think I'd like a bearing converted one this time. Pretty sure the heat from my tti headers is what's killing them. Id also like to do the pitman and tie...

For all i know, taking it apart for inspection knocked a piece of swarf out that i didn't see that was corkscrewing the oil up like someone else suggested. I have no idea why it was doing it before, and why it doesn't appear to be now. Im bumfuzzled.

So, found the vacuum advance leaking. Thats been changed, and car runs better than ever. Ive got about 60 miles on with no evidence of more oil yet. Hopefully get a bunch more on this weekend, so we'll see of that was it! If not, it comes back out to see if it has the passages i didn't see last...

I didn't see any holes in mine like that. However, ill pull it back out and look again! Ive been wrong and blind before.

The distributor didn't leak for the first 100 miles or so. Then started. Nobody had asked for pictures, and i didn't think to post any, so im not sure where the "refused" part comes in, but here is my exact setup. Pass side valve cover breather is both vented to atmosphere and had a fresh air...

Gee, thanks rusty! Really helpful! Everyone else: Distributor was torn down completely yesterday. No burrs found on shaft, but polished with 2000 grit anyway just for kicks. The i side of the housing had no passages, nor and obviously missing seals or damage. Nowhere to put permatex, nor...

La 360, been in the car for 15 years, about 20k on it. Has had stocke electronic ignition, then msd pro billet. After i removed the megasquirt and went back to a carb i wanted vacuum advance and easily adjusted advance curve. Went with an Amazon special hei style distributor. About 200 miles...
