1972 Duster Build with my Daughter
Damn it.... Swapped out the leaking, whining rust pitted gear set 2.76 with a nice leak free quiet 2.94 before heading to a show (we were too late to enter after the gear swap). On the way I got use to dropping it into second at 55mph and punching it.... well the 2.94's reved higher than I anticipated and the original A/C compressor we rebuilt ate 3 reed valves from over reving.....
Thanks to Barry over on the FBBO site who helped me diagnose with his years of AC experience. Now I get to go to O'Rilley's tomorrow and spend $350 on rebuilt compressor, flushing fluid, etc to get the ladies A/C for the 300 mile trip first thing Wednesday morning.... what an idiot I am.... We blew it in the first 20 miles of our 160 mile round trip yesterday so I know they will NOT be happy with 300 miles sweating in the desert heat.....
Positive point Michelle who runs the show and the Arizona Car Shows Facebook page snapped this of Kaelyn and her Duster even though we were not officially in it.
You know @Rainy Day Auto that is one sharp looking Duster..... I think it needs a black Go-Wing to carry the black down to the trunk but Kaelyn says no....
