Inferno Red 74 Duster!

Well, I'm struggling with my tune on my Duster. It would only run a best of 16.4 at 84mph. I know it should do way better than that. The burn outs were epic though!

I spent all day Friday messing around with it and it's actually worse now. I screwed my idle up somehow. It now idles too high in neutral and wants to die in gear. I have to start from scratch. Set TDC with the piston stop. Get a real timing number, and then maybe I'll have a baseline to work from. I knew I needed to do this but I don't want the car to be down because I only get so little time with the car. Dammit, it's cruising time!

The only positive thing I got accomplished this weekend is packaging up the Radiator for Denny. I'll get it shipped out Friday at the latest.

I did find a motor to build too. Not sure the year of the block, but it's a .030 over 360 with flat top pistons and an MP 508 cam (short block only). I feel I am getting it for a sweet deal so I'll go pick it up this week. I'll re-bearing and re-ring it likely because it has been sitting for a few years. Hopefully my current engine will last the summer, no reason it shouldn't, then I'll have this other one ready for next spring. Likely not using that cam as I don't think it's too streetable but not sure.
