Thank you guys, DFX340 i think i might try that out if i cant find a big fix because i do realize that a carb adjustment is kind of a longshot for a problem 3 times above the emissions limit. Thanks all for the responses. ill get back to the thread as soon as i get to re-inspection. wish me...

I know it doesnt exactly sound surprising, but regardless i need to get my Duster through inspection. Its a 72 318 with a 4 barrel. The legal limit for hydrocarbons in jersey is 500 units. My car failed with over 1500! Originally my engine had just 2 breathers and no pcv valve so i got one and...

Thanks everyone, i think I've located the problem. So i first found out that no, at no point was there a clutch safety switch installed in the car. I tested out the ignition by disconnecting it fro the relay and touching the ground wire back to the battery terminal. I immediately got sparks from...

Im not quite sure about that clutch safety switch. Where might i find it if i had it?

Its a 72 duster with a 318 4bbl 3 speed manual

Thank you guys for taking the time to answer, this is exactly what i need. When the holidays pass and i have time i will do these checks for sure and i'll try to get back to you as soon as its fixed. Have a happy new year! -Joe

Hey guys, happy new year to all of you. After much shoveling i managed to clear my driveway enough to pull out the duster yesterday. It gave me a little attitude starting but i thought nothing of it because it was very cold out and had been sitting for a few days. I left it in the driveway to...

To be honest, I havent yet committed that info to memory, but i'll check it out tomorrow after i run to the store to try and pick one of these valves up. Otherwise i'll be waiting till the holiday season ends to get this thing shipped to my door. Hopefully it all goes as planned and i can get on...

Yep. They've got the same qualifications as they did in the year the car was made, which obviously wasn't too extreme, but this problem was 3 times as bad as the average emissions were back in the day.

I've seen it mentioned but never answered before: My duster has got two breather caps (one on each valve cover) and no Pcv valve. The engine runs beautifully, but I just failed inspection twice in 2 days for emissions and I'm almost 100% positive this is the problem. Looking for tips on where to...

Hey guys, started searching around recently for something cool to give my car a little more punch and/or fuel efficiency. Came across air grabber hoods and fell in love with them. Want to know whats involved in getting one. I assume i'll need a whole new hood, but where can i find one and what...
