72 Duster: You can lead a horse to water, but...

I washed it and was happy to see that it still shines pretty good. I painted it about 10 years ago and it has been outdoors much of that time without any cover.

These wheels and tires have got to go!

Since the Holley 600 from the 67 Dart had the car running great, I knew that with a good carburetor, the engine would run right.
I pulled the carb and intake and swapped in the Edelbrock Performer 318-360 and the Thermoquad.

Some don't like the Thermoquad. When they do run right, they are great.

I actually took the time to look through the parts and find a good choke assembly to use.

Sometimes you have good luck, sometimes you don't.

I started it up and within seconds, it started to sputter and stall. Gas started shooting up from inside the carburetor like the fuel pressure was too high and the float was stuck down.
