Thank you all for the input. I should have mentioned the speedo insert? in the 904 trans was broke so I put the one out of the 74 dart parts car I have with a 3 speed manual in it. The speedo cable from the dart has the push on end for the dash and mine had threaded so its just on there to...

Put an auto trans out of a 78ish LeBaron in my 65 barracuda. How do I hook up the speedo cable? If I get one for a 65 barracuda with auto trans will it work? Or is there a company that builds aftermarket cables to fit my application? Thanks for the help

Ground the bump stops off the duster lower ball joints and now I get more turn. The calipers are hitting the lower control arm so I guess its prolly as good as its going to get. I haven't driven it, but it looks like it still isn't going to turn very short. Any body know if I can fit the...

That is what I thought. The way it runs with the manifolds and the effort it takes to put headers on..... I will proly just keep the manifolds at least for the forseeable future.

Forgot to mention I put new control arm upper/lower bushings, strut rod bushings, ball joints on in the process and I am playing with ride height a bit. When I get it all lined out it will be t othe alignment shop and then new treads :) Nothin like the first burnout on a brand new tire. Can't...

So I got the duster parts on. Well in the wheel well anyway. I still need to swap the master cylinder. The little single compartment jobber on the barracuda has to be pumed to move enough fluid to make the disc stop. And it won't turn very short at all now. Gonna have to work on that a bit...

I bought a 74 Duster that has been through a police pursuit that ended in the dusters demise in a grove of trees. I am going to use it to swap my front to disc and 4.5" bolt pattern. It has a 318 (as does my car) and it has headers on it. What are the chances that the headers will fit in my...

Probably was me. Do I go to the top of the list now :) I have a car that may work but it is nearly 4 hours away and has been hit on the front corner. I really don't wanna drive for 4 hours to find out it is not usable. But I will if I have to. rather have MOPAR parts on it than...

All in do time. Money right now is going towards things I can see a difference on :) But I think you are right. I was looking at some bushings under there and they are pretty dry and cracked up.

Yes the tire is bald as Mr. Clean but it is what I had in the bone pile to test size. Now I just need to get some new ones. I would like to get some center caps but not sure how to go about that. Any ideas?

As much as I love cragars.... they had to go :( They were set out too far causing the back to have to be way up in the air. I redrilled my axles to 4.5 inch pattern and put some Ford wheels on it. They are 15" alloy of some sort. I put a 245/60-15 on there and it fits wonderfully. Let ALLL...

Thanks! Not sure it will ever be Spectacular, but it will be fun to play with :)

It is higher in the rear. Someone put wheels on it that are too far outset and it has to be high to clear tires/fenders. I am looking at fixing that eventually when I uprgrade the rearend, but will likely still have it some higher as I like that look. I will scope out the bushing situation...
