    71 Duster Door jam switch

    Going with the original 3 prong...I traced out the wires and got positive test results on 2: yellow-dome light; black-door buzzer. Didn’t know how to test yellow striped-time delay. Now to get a new switch from Van’s.

    71 Duster Door jam switch

    Thanks for the info Dubob. The 3 pin connector has one stud that is badly corroded so I'll need the plug too....if I can't find one to wire in, I'm contemplating seeing if I can carefully remove the metal pins from the plastic and push new ones in....OR using the two prong connector and putting...

    '71 340 Duster has a short

    We did pull each fuse one by one and had continuity through it all...my buddy thinks the voltmeter and/or light bulb might be causing the continuity...we did close the doors so the door switch to the dome light wouldn't be a factor.

    '71 340 Duster has a short

    Fuse box looked ok...found the firewall connector to be melted where the main power wire goes through. Pulled out the bad wires and plan to push through new wires tomorrow. Also plan to rewire the alternator over to the starter relay with a fusable link. Black wire coming into the cabin was...

    Looking for some help to get Mr Duster up and running again. Mallory dual point distributer and stock coil(I think--round black). Couple years ago I took out the rally dash and had it sent off to a FABO member who did a great job renewing it. I opted to have the amp gauge display like a volt...

    Duster Roars but wont start...help !

    Just a crazy thought...could it be a fuel delivery issue? Screen/filter blocked? Once pressure is off enough fuel gets by to the accelerator pump for initial fire, then when it fires up the supply isn't there....happened to me on a friends car a long time ago...like I said, probably a crazy...
