I was gifted a pair of SMP 14x8 magslots for my 1970 duster, from a family member, I really like them and want to do them justice on my car and let my family member see me use them. But my duster currently has old cragars on it, which I like, but I'm not gonna mix the mag slots and the cragars...

I've had this intake manifold sitting around, came with an engine that I bought years ago but never did anything with. I guess it needs to be cleaned up or whatever, I don't know. If you're buying this you probably know a lot more about it than I do, I'm not even sure which engines it is correct...

I picked up a 60910, I suspect it will just kink and leak like the flex hose but we'll see.

Hey guys. The local Napa has been unable to find the correct upper coolant hose for my 1970 duster. It's a 225, with a thermostat housing that has the hose coming out straight up, and the outlet on the radiator is on the passenger side sticking straight out. We tried a couple different hoses and...

I would have asked her where the battery in her car came from. Then, revved the engine until she went away.

I saw several cars pulled over/broke down that day. At least mine got me where I had to go. I almost never have to drive [my own vehicles] in the city anyway.

I have a 72 coronet with a 318. Had the engine rebuilt when I got the car 7 years ago- pretty much stock, better crank+pistons. Ran the car for 6 years and 20,000 miles without issue, found out the engine builder was a dirtbag and used bad parts. At the same time that I took the engine out...

Here's the story: about 6 years ago this engine was rebuilt by a dirtbag. I didn't know he was a dirtbag until last year when I found out how much was wrong with the engine. So, a friend and I removed the engine ourselves, had a trustworthy machine shop sleeve a cylinder and hone all of them...

Were you born knowing what a carb spacer is? You could have taken the 5 seconds to tell her what a carb spacer is, then she would be one step on her way to being a better auto parts person. A friend of mine started working at NAPA when he was around 18 knowing very little about cars but...

I'll take them. PM sent.

Sure. But I wouldn't pay $175 for it...

There is a gasket under the carb, looks like about 1/4 thick to me. The carb probably could use a rebuild. So when I find the time I will rebuild the carb, replace the float, and do the timing and valves and see how it is then. Maybe next week. Thanks for the help, guys.

My 1970 duster with a 225 was having warm start problems so I re-routed the fuel line and relocated the fuel filter behind the alternator as I have seen suggested. But I still seem to be having the same problems. I might be a little better. The car starts and runs perfectly fine when cold. If I...

Can anyone confirm that these fit a 1970 duster (225, 7 1/4)? PM sent

You did the right thing for the goat. As for the dog, the idea that once a dog has attacked another animal it becomes dangerous to humans is BS. I had a dog, german shepard/lab mix, that would kill any wild animal that came anywhere near our property. Possums, rabbits, raccoons, even birds! But...
