Thanks guys. And yes, I'm only looking to adjust the part throttle shifts. It does great on WOT.

*adjuster nut

Thanks for the info. As of right now my trans lever is matched to my throttle....all the way up at idle and all the way back at WOT. So I need to take slack out at the adjuster but to raise the shift point, or add more slack?

Wondering if there’s a way to adjust my shift points.... I’ve got a 74 Duster I dropped in a 340 and a new 727...aftermarket everything. Running a lokar lockdown and a quickfuel carb. Car runs and drives great, but shifts early and I wish it would kick down a little quicker. Was wondering if...

Hey guys, on my 74 duster I have moved the springs in 3'' and have 275 60 15. When I launch hard and theres a passenger in the car(yes, its a street toy) my passenger side will squat enough at launch to rub the tire on the inside of the fender. These are old springs and feel like they are wore...

Hey guys, I need help. I've put the 3'' spring relocation kit on my 74 duster and ss springs. Everything went fine until I set it back on the ground. The rear shackles are angled to the rear so much that the top of the spring is actually sitting on the frame. Are the springs too long, or is...

Already have. I've cleaned and painted them 4 times now with different vinyl paint. Sem and Eastwood. Just doesn't stay on the high traffic areas. It'll look good for a couple of weeks, then start coming off. Really thinking of having them recovered now, but I never hear of anyone that's had...

Restoring my 74 duster....I know nobody makes the armrests new. Just wondering if anyone has had their old ones recovered? If so, how did they turn out?

Big red and black wires are direct to the battery. Small red is tied into the 12v switched wire that fed the coil before I added the 6al. Only 2 wires I have on the coil are the orange and black from the 6al. Original ballast wires are wired together.

Hey guys, my knowledge on electrical is somewhat limited, so I need a little advice here. Working on my 74 small block Duster, which is far from factory. I've switched to an msd pro billet dist and blaster coil. Been running this set up since last fall with no issues at all. This past weekend I...

Thanks

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out how to get my car air to switch vents...defrost to floor, etc. I'm new to all this heat and a/c stuff, so excuse the learning curve. Anyway, in my 74 duster I swapped out the /6 with a 340, and pretty much everything under the hood was removed. The A/C...

Love how that black duster looks. I'm not too big on cars sitting real low...like the big tire, tall stance. I've bought 275s now, but I will measure to see if I can fit 325s and might go with that next time.

Thanks for the info! I've never really been up on how to figure wheels and tires, but that makes sense the way you guys explained. And yes, the 6" rim, according to summit, is within the recommended size for the 225/60/15s. It is the minimum size recommended, but should work. Now I can order...

I've got 245/60r14s on now, which seems to be the same diameter, but 1" wider than a 225/60r15. So just curious if the backspacing would still be off with the narrower tires. Also, I can get the wheels I'm wanting in a 15x6, which should work with the 225/60r15s, but they too have the same 3.75...
