Gotcha, just seemed really high.

Hey all, Got a few questions regarding the install of my Edelbrock 1406. I’ve got a 72 Duster with a 318. It came with a Weiand intake and Edelbrock 1406. The last year of owning this car, it’s been hard to start. Finally after some convincing from some buddies, I replaced the carb with an...

For hand tools, I’ve always been a fan of SK. Back when I was in high school, I took auto shop and was an apprentice at a local shop. I had a small toolbox that I was trying to start filling with good tools. My shop had a Snap On guy and an SK guy. The SO guy wouldn’t give me the time of day and...

I think you’re right, that’s what the driver side looks like. Just couldn’t think of the correct part name. Appreciate it!

Quick question. Anyone know what this piece is called that holds the seat back to the bench seat? The passenger side is missing on mine, so the seat will come off that bar when my son pushes the seat back forward and gets in the back. I’ve googled seat retainer clip with no luck. Thanks for any...

You are absolutely correct!

Ok I can confirm that it was user error haha. I took everything apart and the thermostat was crooked inside the housing, so assuming the housing couldn’t seat correctly. Used a shoe string to hold the thermostat in place and tight while installing the housing and now all is well (knock on wood.)...

I’m starting to wonder if the intake is the problem, good idea on the dye.

Supposed to take it to my buddy’s to paint the wheels today, so if we tear it apart I’ll get a picture. If not, it might be a little bit before I can get back to this project. But once I do I’ll definitely post a picture.

I actually had to get a bunch of gunk out of the bolt holes because the first time I installed it, it wasn’t flush. But once I did that, everything went on smoothly and laid flat. If the thermostat is off center, would that cause issues?

Finally got around to installing the Billet housing and it’s still leaking! I was refilling the radiator and noticed coolant pooling in the exact same spot as before. Frustrating!

Hey all, I think I’ve finally narrowed the power steering leak to the return line. Just want to double check, does it look like this one from Year One will work? And is there a fitting on the pump I should replace too? Thanks for any input! https://www.yearone.com/Product/chrysler-a-body/fd9925

Thank you!

I’m having the same issue on my Duster that I just got. Chrome housing just leaks. Reading through this thread, looks like this one is the way to go. Any recommendations on thermostats? I’m not sure what’s in it now, so I figured I’d just replace it. Also any recommendations for an upper...

Those look awesome, nice ride! And thank you!
