Wow I wish I had the cash right now. That is a good find for the price. Unfortunately I just bought a new truck so money is a little tight for now. I will be looking in the next few months once I graduate. Indiana is a lot closer than California.

I honestly hope so. I will be looking at California cars in the upcoming months. Since it is less humid over there, I can only assume the rust will be less prevalent

That is what I am thinking if nothing is good on the East coast. What do you think would be shipping cost from coast to coast?

That Duster is awesome. Good find. Uhm I am not too sure what sort of price finding one with no rust would cost. Maybe a shell would be 1500-2k.

It will be tough to see her go. But the previous owner neglected the leak in the windshield, leading to the rust throughout the driver's side. At least I can take what I need from the body and use it towards another a body. What do you think is a good price to find a decent shell that needs...

Yes I agree, I would not want to part out this vehicle. It was my first car so it has a bunch of sentimental value to it. I would like to learn how to repair the rust but I have no idea what to look for and how to fix it. So would suggest that it is fixable and not as bad as I am thinking? Thank...

Don't mind the tranny tunnel cut out. I already removed some of the bad metal

Hey, so I've known about some rust on my Duster for a while but haven't had the opportunity to dig into it. It is mainly located in the floor plans, kick panel, and random spots around the body. I was wondering if this rust is too much to fix when weighed against the value of the vehicle. Open...

Update: Got the carb back on and played with the timing a bit and get her running again. She sounds great and healthy. Now just time to reattach all the linkage to the transmission and bolt up the exhaust flange. Thanks for the help guys.

don't mind my roommates comment on the flames.

Originally with the old gas/starter fluid it was just giving me a mist of fuel shooting up. Now with the fresh fuel, distributor turned 180, its shooting flames out of the top. I am going to get more into it this weekend. Currently in the middle of finals week (college student).

I turned the actual distributor input shaft not the whole assembly, just for clarification. The assembly is still at the same mark it was the last time it ran.

I just did it and it sounded like it wanted to turn over but it wouldn't. I had my roommate turn the key after I poured a bit of gas in the intake. Plumkrazee70, any other suggestions. The motor has not run for about 2 years. I was really hoping it would at least fire up with pouring a little...

Yeah I am wondering the same thing. Kinda bothering me that its not firing up even with a quick spray of carb cleaner. I have an msd distributor. Is it possible to insert the distributor 180 degrees off and cause the timing to be way off? Because thats all I can think of. I removed the...

Already got one of those. I built the motor a few years ago and let it sit for a while. Has 340 heads on it.
