    Help Needed with '71 Duster with A/C

    What I am not sure of is what bracket style (model year) I need to mount the canister. I have a '72 bracket but it does not appear to be the right one. It would be helpful if I could see what the correct bracket looks like. Matt

    Help Needed with '71 Duster with A/C

    Hello, I am in the process of finishing my engine compartment on my '71 225 Slant Six Duster with A/C. Would anyone have pictures of the carbon canister placement - because I do not see where one should be installed in my car since the horn is in the way. I am not sure if it makes a...

    1971 Duster Gas Cap Wanted.

    I need a gas cap for my 1971 Duster. From what I understand the cap I need was for 1970 California and 1971 for all US A bodies. I am starting to wonder if my only choice will be to pay 100 plus for an NOS one.

    Charrlie: Do you know what was changed in the head on hydraulic cam cars? The newer head is wider and uses a different valve cover then the older solid lifter version. -Matt

    [SOLD] A body mopar salvage for sale

    I am curious - in the picture of the yard there is a 70's Dart with the Chrysler Road Wheels. Does anyone know if Mopar made a SBP Road Wheel (like the Magnum 500 style wheel with a trim ring). I wouldn't mind picking up a set for my '71 since they would be different. Regards, Matt

    How do I seal the Choke Thermostat?

    Thanks for the information, that was exactly what I was looking for. I too might have considered a different year manifold had I realized the fun I was in for. But at this point with the manifold blasted, painted and installed in the car + I just spent $30 on a carburator thermostat I am...

    How do I seal the Choke Thermostat?

    The spring is not open to the exhaust. The steel "cup" is installed to plug the hole with a gasket. The thermostat then sits on top of it. However, after 30+ years pretty much everything on mine was rusted out and shot. The thru hole is definitely a factory feature, since I have 2 of them,
