My "new" '74 Duster- or why I need a project like a hole in the head
A little update, my constant searching for the Circuit Car catalog paid dividends and I scored a cheap copy on eBay! Was super stoked about that, it was practically a steal and that's not something that happens on eBay much anymore. It even came with a copy of the '74 Chrysler Kit Car specifications (already have a PDF copy of that though).
Pretty cool all in all but between @autoxcuda sharing some info and my internet searching of some circuit racing groups I'd already turned up pictures or specifications on most of the parts I was interested in. Definitely gives some insight on what they were doing to make these cars handle back in the day but quite honestly I think some of the parts you can buy off the shelf now from @BergmanAutoCraft, Firm Feel etc., are better or better suited to modern handling and most certainly better suited for the street.
My shop is "done", the building anyway. Have electricians coming to do the wiring and a few other things to get sorted before I really start moving stuff into it and start real project work.
Unfortunately the first item of business is going to be dropping the T56 on my Duster to change the pilot bearing. Not entirely sure what's going on there but it started making noise so I'll have to drop the transmission and figure it out!
