Thanks guys. The factory 20s sound like a good way to go. Now to find some.

Yea if I used it as a truck I wouldn't lower it either. Well honestly I don't even think its fair to call it a truck. It only has the V6. Those melons are the only real load it has carried, ever. Doesn't even have a receiver setup. With the rake the rear has it makes it nearly impossible to...

My daily driver is a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500. Single cab, short bed 2 wheel drive. My wife owned it when we got married and I started driving it when she got a new car. Trying to sharpen its looks up a bit. Going to level it with rear shackles and trying to decide on wheels. It has the 17in...

Just last month here in north Texas we had a four year old lose his entire leg due to a lawn mower. Grandpa was mowing and he was running around in the yard playing. Apparently grandpa made a sharp left turn and he was there and was pulled under the deck. I understand having the kid on the...

Make sure the booster will clear your valve cover.... Example being, The booster Oreilly sells for the /6 Duster will not fit the V8s, it hits the driver's side valve cover. You need a booster that is around 7-8 inches in diameter. I believe I picked up a replacement for my 76 Duster that was...

Thanks, this is probably what I will do. So quick question, which transmission is better, the 727 or 904? I have the 904. Should I try and get a 727 while I'm at it?

Yea I will be moving my 4bbl eidelbrok intake and carb over. Will also install a new cam and timing set. Thanks for the tip on the converter.

So the 318 has a noise from the bottom end that's going to require a teardown. Thinking its time for the 360 upgrade. My junkyard guy has a 360 from a late seventies motorhome. Apparently only has 60K on it but I'm going to go through it anyway. Anyone here know of any problems I might hit...

Well air cleaner was the least of my worries. Got it all bolted back together took that pic and within 30 min of driving had a bad knock. Think I'm losing a bearing. Guess the Duster will be parked till I find a 360 block and pull the 318. Anyone selling a 360LA long block? lol.

I definately agree but I doubt they will fit me. Would buy one if they will fit me. I wear an 8 in fitted caps. Any luck on an XXL size?

Well the knock I was hearing is somthing worse than we had first hoped.... It has gotten worse and is coming from deep it sounds like.... Oil pressure is good so not sure why its knocking. Im afraid im losing a bearing... May be time for a 360 now. Just not looking forward to pulling the engine...

For the record it doesn't fit. Too big around... Hits the valve cover... Now where to find one that will fit.

I need to change my brake booster on my 76 Duster V8. Parts store told us they found one and ordered it. My buddy is picking it up right now and now they say it wont work on the V8 because its made for the /6. Is this true? Bolt holes to brackets/master cylender all are the same. I dont see...

Yup its very nice. The counties to the east and south of me have smog regulations for newer vehicles but not ones as old as our A-Bodies. I'm sure its just a matter of time before we have to start getting checked though. Plus I'm fortunate enough to have a shop that "inspects" vehicles by...

Well found the idiot light wire. My buddy who wired up the carb used it for the choke 12volt supply. Idiot light problem solved.... Now to find a wire for 12 volts to the choke.
