Not sure if anyone will respond to this since this thread is old.....but, I have a 73 Duster 340 with 4 speed, I was looking a going with doug's headers. I'm just trying to find out if they will clear the z-bar. I'm currently running the 340 Hi- po manifolds from the aar an t/a 340, with tti...

Which bilstiens you talking about, the ones from pst for 200? Are they adjustable dampening and rebound?

Nevermind I found em, it seems like pst is the route I'll take seeing they are over $100 cheaper than the .890 and .920. What are good shocks to run with the, what do you guys run and where can I find them?

Where do you get the .920 bars from?

While we're on the subject if I were to stiffen up the front a little what would you guys recommend doing to the rear. What are the options for Springs. I plan on taking the whole rear end out changing all the bushings , ect I'm not sure but do they make a sway bar setup for the rear, if so...

So the consensus is 1". What size are the stock torsion bar? I play it conservative with suspension. Ever since I put coil overs in my neon srt4. They are wicked stiff and it's a crap ride around town on our new England roads, rides good and handles good on the highway, can take exit ramps at...

I got a 73 Duster 340 4 speed, I was looking to do some suspension upgrades, I was wondering about any options for the torsion bars, the car is mainly for street mostly I just cruise but at times I do like to let it rip and have some fun. One of my wife's torsion bars broke in her 71 scamp, so I...

Found the problem, it was the wrong damper. Order one that said it fit 318, 340, 360. The new one was almost an inch thinner, also weighted a lot less. So I guess the other one was for a magnum, and I guess magnum small blocked have different pulley setups. Finally finished the motor swap. New...

Yeah I think that's what's happening the part number for the one I have says it fits 318, 360. There is another one that says fits 318, 340, 360. Idk is the magnum motors pulleys different. I guess I will try an call ATI.

So I recently completed my 360 build got the motor In the car (73 duster). Original motor was a 340 with cast crank. The 360 has a forged crank, I had the rotating assembly balanced. Because of that I needed a different alancer. So I went with an ATI super damper. Problem is once it's on and I...

Yeah what I meant about the cruise control was it felt like the throttle was stuck, as far as timing I figured I should verify that. I adjusted the advance plate in the distributor. It was maxed out to full advance, so I shortened the gap, via the 2 torx screws, and used a 5/32 drill bit. So...

Okay so I did some tinkering with the car this weekend, most of the bog is gone now,(slightly bogs now) I put a 7.5 pv In, however I think that is too high, because after I let off the throttle from wide open, it takes a little for the rpm to some down, drives like I got cruise control, there...

Yeah removed heat riser, going to Change intake gaskets with one that has black off for cross over, also have a 1" phenolic spacer I will put on. When ever I fill up for fuel I always put the Lucas additive that combats the ethanol effects of the new gas. I had a huge problem on the neon when...

Yeah some signs point to too much fuel, for example it smells pig rich at idle, in the garage running after I minute your eyes will burn, only gets about 10 mpg and that's driving normal, but the plugs looked lean so that's why I upped the Jets from 72 to 74. Also I have a hot start issue. After...

Yeah one of my first thoughts was the pump shot, I adjusted the arm, my question on that is it you want to see a .015 gap when WOT and pushing down on the lever. I'm gonna try and go up a couple sizes on the power valve and see what happens. I will also check plugs and see how they look. As far...
