Is this on a Ford? Chev? Tractor?

I notice you’re using 1972 diagrams which is better than nothing or 3rd party diagrams that are almost useless. Have you been able to get 1973 diagrams? Try mymopar for a 73 manual.

Wow, great looking car! What condition is the headliner in? Can help but wonder what excuse will be used by DTM….

Wow, clean looking Dart! Great to see another 73+ A body getting back on the road!!!

You’re probably thinking of the air pump that was put on some engines in 1975. Chrysler’s lean burn system was introduced until 1976 and only then on the 400. In 1977 Chrysler installed it on all V8 engines.

I thought this thread was going to be about Tavares and/or Marner being traded!?

Welcome! Awesome to see another late year Scamp being saved and put back on the road eventually! Front discs were not standard until January 1976 so it was only the late 1976 model year A bodies that had them all. I suspect your Scamp was made late in the production run for the 1974 model...

Is it one of those chrome thermostat housings? Years ago I tried a bunch of different gaskets and tried sanding both the surface of the intake and the thermostat housing cover and it would always leak. I then bought a Billit housing with the o-ring gasket and it’s not leaked since.

If the buyer paid a ‘premium’ for a numbers matching car and it turns out it wasn’t (after the purchase went though) well, then whenever the current owner sells to down the road, he wont be able to ask a premium for it being numbers matching. It’s a moot point now for the existing owner though.

Yup, 8 years ago.

Is this him?

Unrelated to your goal of getting the Duster on the road again, how come the water pump isn’t painted blue like the rest of your engine?

Yeah that came to an end here last August. Minimum ethanol content is now 5% even in the 94 octane from Chevron.

That’s a good run! Were you moving along the Malahat or was it stop and go/crawl through that choke point? Hwy 4 can be a fun drive west of PA if you’re not stuck behind a camper van. I’d be happy with that mileage too.

Oh you’re has the fuel pacer system…. Not a common option and only available in 75 and 76. And on a slant 6!

Yup, that’s the voltage regulator that’s decided to oooze its backing on the fender apron.

Your making great progress learning various areas of your car! Well done! How did he get Dart (2 door hardtop) doors for your Duster? Did he tell you the doors were wrong before he butchered them?

Yup. Yet some people think flying in small planes is unsafe yet every commercial built plane needs to be annually inspected (and not just kicking the tires) to be insured annually. However, depending on the jurisdiction, vehicles dont have any inspections or do but they are Mickey Mouse, and...

The frightening thing is the people who actually do those repairs probably think those are completely fine ‘fixes’. In other words, they would likely do similar repairs on their own cars.

73/74 used the same bezels while 75/76 were different bezels (mounting holes and finish).

These will also fit a ‘73.

Here’s a comparison of a 2bbl (top in 1st pic and left side on 2nd and 3rd pics) and 4bbl rod:

That’s frustrating to experience. Do you know if the car is still not sold? I suppose after a period of time the seller will realise his asking price is out of touch with reality. It all comes down to how badly does he want to sell it.

Perfect time of year for it! I remember being on a road trip (I wasn’t old enough to drive yet) where we drove from Stockholm to northern Sweden (Kiruna) and then zipped over into Norway (Narvik) before making our way back to Stockholm. The endless hours of daylight during the summer in...

That’s what I used for years to whiten up my BFG’s. They have since been replaced with a set of Copper Cobras now.
