    76 Duster Overheating at idle

    I will make sure to get a high flow thermostat. Also, The pulley for crankshaft and water pump look to be about the same size from the photos I have. I got the pulleys from a 318 I parted out so I assume that they are correct.

    Also the thermostat is from oreillys but I think I have another from classic industries laying around.

    76 Duster Overheating at idle

    I’m not sure of the actual temp when running, I’ve been going off of the original gauges which I got fixed. It might not be completely accurate but if I had to guess it runs around 200. I’ll get a heat gun and post some numbers. The fan is a standard small block clutch fan, sits maybe 3 inches...

    76 Duster Overheating at idle

    I have some questions I was hoping I could get help with. I have a 1976 Plymouth duster. Original slant six car now with a 340/904. I have a 22inch aluminum radiator in the car (only one that fits with original mounting points) but it seems to get hot a little too quickly at idle. I took the car...

    led dome lights

    awesome swinger it looks gorgeous! With my car, i was thinking about just replacing the headlights, and all running lights/ backups and brakes with LEDs. when you installed the two flasher units, did you put them in place of the signal flasher and e flasher, or what did you do?

    so then where did you place these flashers for your car? was it just one for the front then another for the back, or are there like 4 of them one for each corner if that makes sense. also, did you have to do anything extra with the side markers? also the bulbs i bought today are grote 1157...

    led dome lights

    so i was unable to find an led version of the 1004 at my local auto parts store, but i did find the 1157 leds which are the turn signals. i but them in and they dont turn on until the lights are on. but then they dont blink and stay fully lit. i've heard this can be a common problem but is there...

    led dome lights

    so with this design in 76, is there as much strain on the headlights when in use as in previous years? i was thinking about using the crackedback headlight relay kit, but if it is not necessary, i could just convert to LED headlights using an adapter instead which would draw less electricity...

    led dome lights

    they aren't the same. i bought the wrong one which is the issue.

    led dome lights

    not at all. i went to the autoparts store and bought it because it was cheap and looks identical pretty much identical to the regular 1004.

    now i know these pictures are supposed to be simple, i just don't understand them though lol. I can send some photos of my engine bay if this helps the situation at all.

    led dome lights

    everything is all stock and untouched. i did a v8 swap, but all of the wiring is all the same. the only changes i made was adding a tachometer and oil pressure gauge. i appreciate the info, i will definitely take a look, and the beauty of also having a 75 duster is i can compare the two...

    led dome lights

    did you use these for your car? also how easy is the install on the brake lights? i've never actually looked at brake lights or taken them out. the turn signals are easy.
