Thanks Miszny for the post. This is my car and I did take it down from Craigslist. I've had a lot of interest in the car, but just no time to meet people to show the car. Plus for every one call that is legit I get 10 Bozo's calling wanting to offer $5k. Getting tired of that....I love...

Yes, I got them on. Had to make a simple tool out of a piece of angle iron. I will post the picture later. Wasn't too bad. Just need a vice and the tool.

They should be the same, but I am talking about the actual coil that is on the hinge has been popped off. Now I am trying to put the coil back onto the hinge and can't seem to figure out how to apply tension and reconnect to the hinge.

Hey guys, Awhile back I popped the coiled spring off my (1970 Duster) hood hinge to allow for the fiberglass 6 pack hood. I got rid of the 6 pack hood and am installing the original. The question is; how in the heck do you get the coiled spring back on? I have the hinge off the car but am...

Well thanks gerty. It worked out well. I have about 3/16" clearance. I need to weld it shut now, but that is another story. Thanks!!

Gonna give it a go this weekend...cut it up first and find a welder later. Wish me luck...

I thought of that and was worried about weakening the frame, but welding it shut never entered my pea brain! I think that may be the fix I am looking for. Did you do this with the headers on or off? I could probably just loosen the motor mount and jack the engine up to give me more clearance.

Ever since day one of my 340 installation into a 1970 Duster, the left (drivers) header is making contact with the frame. They are TTI headers and fit excellent everywhere else. I have no other clearance issues or contact points. I tried to shim the engine at the motor mounts, but no change...

Man that is a tough looking car! Looks great, great pics!

If it fits his 73 Swinger, it will fit your 73 Duster

Man that is one HECK of a long trip! Got any pics of the new Dart?

Well so much for lunch at BK! And so much for that oil change I was gonna do too....better take it in now...

Nice Duster! Nice background!

That is all I see too. But hey, at least it is CAR related eh?
