Spare Motors...gotta have a couple.

And this afternoon....I decided to work on the 73 340 Duster that has a 360 in it......as it had only run twice in the 15 months.....carb problem rear needle and seat was replaced a couple of weeks ago...then I just took a stab at the carb....and drove it....

Well...i could smell gas...and it was not my ***....I know the rear float was way too low....and I figured i have open the idle mix too much .....and it had been smoking out of the passenger side exhaust...I fixed that a couple of weeks ago...as the intake manifold bolts on that side were louse....tighten them up...no smoke..

I got the carb adjusted this afternoon....got the idle set....and then i see water ...lol....upper radiator hose had a hole in it....so off i go to get a radiator hose...two autozones later i got one plus a new 180 degree thermostat as the one I had in it was only 160...which i did not like.......got that all fixed and put some prestone antifreeze in it...now she is purring like a kitten....

Gotta go do a burnout.....lol...all through 1st gear...bang the tires in second....love that manual valve body....


Thats the yellow one right? Thats a cool car. Should have snapped a picture of them together last time.

Next time I bring the dart over maybe you can look at my carb tune since you know how to do all that stuff... Ill take your advice and get a dp for it next time :)
