How about using some of the wireless connectors that make contact only when the door is shut?

Thanks so much guys! It's an Industrial model. Was used to run a generator for a chairlift at a ski resort. It's got a '78 manufacturing date. I don't have the casting number yet (engine is not in my possession yet). But I'll definitely pick it up. Thanks for the great info!
I'm guessing...
Hey everyone,
I’ve just discovered that the 360 la in my Duster is toast. I’ve got a line on a 360 Industrial engine that has very low hours.
Would it fit?
How much would I need to swap?
I just want to get my car rolling for show season. I know it won’t be a big performer.
Thanks!
521 has them. Since one of the clips probably failed, you might as well change all of them while you're in there: 73-76 A-Body Door Latch/Lock Clip Set (1 kit for both doors)
I have indeed. There were no clearance issues. I used as short a rivet as possible, and made sure to install rivets away from the upper panel hooks on the door.
I should have mentioned that I was also concerned about the brittle plastic, so I used washers behind the rivets to spread out the load. Old race car repair trick.
I picked up a set from Detroit Muscle Technologies. They say in the description that nobody has made the clip style in decades. Since my upper door panels are less than perfect, I took the plunge and riveted them to the panel. I used an awl to pierce a small hole in the weatherstrip, drilled...
