I come up with $248.85 with shipping and the 3% through PayPal. I am in East Texas Zip Code 75650. Let me know if that works for you and your PayPal email and I will get the funds to you ASAP.

Is the carb still available?

100% it's a knock off copy. If it's $80 on the manufacturers website and you bought it on Amazon for $16 it is a counterfeit. I have had my share of buying counterfeit product on Amazon. Their shelves are full of it, and the third party sellers make a killing doing it. Amazon also does not care...

Are you sure that you have a 360 in that car and not a 318 with 360 heads on it? Since it seems that you just bought it anything is possible. I would expect a low compression 318 with 360 heads to have cranking compression like what you are seeing. Have you checked the block to make sure that it...

On this particular kit I would not know, but you can look at a million examples of this like anything Speedmaster sells, the copies of Holley carburetors and fuel pumps, copies of Carter mechanical and electric fuel pumps, copies of the Edelbrock heads and intakes, the new copies of the...

I can easily explain why this happens with overseas stuff as I am in the business of manufacturing aftermarket automotive parts overseas and selling them in the USA, and also why you call these manufacturers and no one knows anything. The issue is simple, most of this stuff is just copied off a...

I read everything in this thread and the more I think about it, the more is everything pointing to the timing, or ignition problems being the issue. Are you sure that your balancer is actually correct, that the ring has not slipped. The 7" of vacuum at idle makes no sense, the 30 degrees at idle...

Thanks that really helps, I had no idea where or how those wires were routed. Year one has the harness, little over $40 going to order one today.

That is great info! You learn something new every day :)

I finally installed the harness on Sunday and everything went well. The A/C wiring is just one wire that goes to the compressor. While doing some research on the 72 service manual I found that the wire going to the compressor should go first to a low pressure switch that goes on the drier. There...

The brown wire that goes to the brake warning lamp switch is just cut about 2 1/2 inches from the bulkhead connector and a plug is installed there. I see no other explanation than it has something to do with testing that switch, but I cannot find that plug anywhere but in the 73 chassis service...

That blue wire is on this harness too, it is for the idle stop solenoid that all 340 cars brought from the factory. My car no longer had the solenoid, but it does have a place where it mounts to the intake manifold, and the Thermoquad carb does have a place on it where the solenoid would contact...

It is M on the bulkhead schematic and all it shows is a black wire going to the brake warning lamp switch.

Part number of the harness is 00695. Makes sense that it would be for a brake test.

I was going to change my engine wiring harness today with an M&H one and I ended up aborting the project as there seemed to be some additional plugs/wires on it. I pulled out the 1972 Duster wiring diagram and figured out what 2 of the wires were, but there is a plug in this harness that I can't...
