I'll take it! Just p.m. me where to pick it up. Has to be wed or sundays when I am off. Thanks.

Hi! Sorry just saw the message. I'm not sure if I need an engine or trans. Haven't had the chance to dig in yet. The car goes down the road, but making an awful noise. I'm in Culver City area.

Okay guys... I think I want to "V8" my Duster. I have an 89 Ramcharger with a 360 tbi. Can I remove all the smog crap, replace Tbi with carb and put in my Duster? The engine moves the Ramcharger like a scalded dog, and since the Duster is at least a half ton lighter, it should really move. Too...

Thanks for that info. Yes next day off I'm on it.

Thank you. I will continue my search.

Thanks. Yes that #5 got me once before on a 74 Dart.

Thank you very much for your suggestions. I will go over all those and see where it gets me. As for the noise it is definetely both sounds. When I speed up the engine it makes a lot of noise, then as it idles down the noise sometimes goes random. At one point after stalling the engine seemed to...

Thanks for your help! Plenty of oil and it's circulating. I pulled off the valve cover to see what is going on in there. All is well as far as I can tell. I started pulling wires from plugs. No change on #1 or #6. The sound seems at the rear for sure. The sound changes periodically. Mostly none...

Hi all! I just brought a Duster slant 6 back from a 14 year sleep. After much trial and error, she's running. BUT... there is a knocking coming from somewhere. Today I realized that when I put it in gear the noise seems to stop. Another thing is, when sitting still in gear, trans seems to go in...

I finally got my Duster started after 14 years sitting. Now... about that knocking noise. When I rev above idle there is a kind of knocking noise. Could this be from timing off (had dist out and eyeballed it back in (no timing light), or is the engine about to go? Thermostat area was completely...

Thanks, I will get one of those. Good luck on your project as well.

Thanks very much for the great info! I will go back thru the system. Pulled the starter, taking to get tested. Recharging the new battery to be sure it's all there. Hopefully I see progress soon. Thanks again!

I have a new battery (And everything else!) But still nothing. The only spark I got was a yellow spark as I turned off the key. Starter sound bad, so it may be partial problem. Two things I noticed... 1 a lot of play in distributor where ignition pickup sets, making it hard to adjust air gap...

Thanks for your help! I will try that next.

I tried the jump wire, but still no spark. In fact I've tried every suggestion I have read to no avail. With ignition on, I have 4.5 volts at the positive side of coil and 1.2 on the negative (shouldn't be any there right?) I have sanded to bare metal behind the ignition box.
