73 Duster Restoration

Started the 4bbl swap yesterday using all stock 73-340 parts. Couldnt get once of the carb studs off of the 2bbl intake so I have to pick something up. Also forgot to pick up a set of valve cover gaskets. Not sure how the old ones werent leaking, They were as hard as a rock.

I also had 2 plug wires fall apart so I ordered a new set of orange Mopar Perf. wires.

Its a pretty expensive swap to do using stock parts but I like the little details and the stock look. A quick price run down

Stock 73-340 intake $80 (had left over from the Hang 10 disaster)
Stock 73-340 Thermoquad, Picked up from a member $90
Stock 72 -340 air cleaner Came with the car figure $150
4bbl throttle bracket, kick down linkage and cable. Came with car Ive seen them here for $100

$420 just for the big stuff.

Other Parts needed
Intake gaskets
Bypass hose
RTV sealant
Vacuum caps
carb stud
carb bolts
valve cover gaskets
coolant
Spark plug wires (for when the old ones fall apart - oops)

This is going to be the only mod I make to the car for now. Time to get back to body work,
