my stock '76 motor idles at 750/100....that big of a cam I'd expect you'd want it idling about 950 anyway.....

more than one local upholstery shop has said to go to legendary to me for the covers, they'll rebuild the seat and install them, partly because I only want the front seat, and one of the vinyls is no longer available (the shallow elk light blue metallic), but reproduced in special runs by...

sounds great, which hughes cam specifically? interested to hear how it sounds at normal idle.....

FWIW, I was having issues with my duster's taillights, with the right rear brake and flasher not working. turned out to be the turn signal switch, the hot for the brake/4way flasher goes through the turn signal switch.

FWIW, those bushings are still available, Dorman #118301, can get 10 for $6.60 from Rockauto

I contacted them and they're going to have a sale in conjunction with Chrysler at Carslile in early july, same % off as their memorial day and spring carlisle sales

shouldn't. the air is just a spring. BUT the shock mounts on these cars were never designed to carry the load of the vehicle weight on them, only transient dampening loads. if you had air shocks or those coil over helper shocks, be sure to inspect your shock mounts. when we bought my car...

I agree matching shocks to spring rates is important. I rebuilt my duster's suspension 2 years ago, I'm not made of money, and I got a good deal on a set of NOS .92" torsion bars, & some used 6 leaf HD springs to replace my .85" bars and saggy butt 5 leafers. all new ball joints and suspension...

I was ordering other parts, so I got mine from rockauto.com 1976 PLYMOUTH DUSTER 3.7L 225cid L6 Lug Nut & Lock Kit | Shop Now at RockAuto these dorman ones look cool and come in a ton of different colors if you're feeling adventurous More Information for DORMAN 711255LOCK

looks awesome!

my '76 duster slant6, A833OD had a converter from the factory, but no air pump, federal emissions, though, YMMV for cali emissions. I stick with Purolator or Wix filters for oil filters. and usually use Valvoline 10-30 conventional in my car. if it's sat for a long while, you might want to go...

my car has the 24:1 stock. parking lots aren't bad at all as far as effort, but there is a lot of sawing on the wheel to go lock to lock (I want to say it's like 5 full turns)....it's a little vague on center going down the highway, but doesn't wander, especially if you used the offset UCA...

don't look like they'd be too tough to repop by vacuum forming.....

yeah, pretty much every "chrome" paint or marker I've used just looks silver

good to know, because if I decided to go that route they would be who I would potentially go through....

hughes shows it on their website for less $$ ($411), but when I threw it in a cart, it wanted to charge me $260 for shipping....https://www.hughesengines.com/Index/products.php?browse=category&level0=SS0gU2xhbnQgNiAoMTcwLTIyNSBjLmkuIDE5NjAtMTk4Nyk=&level1=RXhoYXVzdA==&partid=34275

I've been looking at that one too....only problem is it's $485 before freight and tax charges.....if he has the ability to weld, and picking up a used take-off exhaust, he can probably build something equivalent in OEM heavy gage stainless for less $$

if you want cheap mandrel bends, may want to go to a U-pull-it with a calipers and a cordless sawzall. most newer cars have factory 419 stainless mandrel bent exhaust. I used sections of the tailpipe from a dodge ram (was 3") when I built the exhaust for my old 5th ave 20 years ago....my '11...

I've got a spreadsheet based on dimensions I took off of my duster that I can plug different backspace/offsets and tire widths. do you know the actual drum-face-to-drum face axle width? it looks like for a +30mm (1.18") offset rim, a wheel mount face to wheel mount face measurement of 58.5"...

sorry it took so long.....the tuff wheel came off an F body and was tan. the rim is still super tight. was impossible to keep vinyl dye on the rim though.... the horn button is just hit with black SEM. if it would have had little wings every 120 degrees or so to wrap up the spokes just a...

my duster with 195/70R14 on the front and 225/70R14 on the rear on factory 14x5.5" wheels

my duster with the fold down rear seat originally had a crinkle finish paint on the trunk side, when I remade it back in the 90's because I had foolishly cut holes in the original for speakers (hey I was 16) that's what I used. I had to re-remake it last year because it had to be sacraficed to...

1 block (RG only) vs 2 blocks 198/225 pistons are common, also, aren't they? the longer rod offsets the shorter stroke so the pistons aren't 1/2" in the hole

would love to find a set of rods that aren't totally jacked up for reasonable $$....

that's an additional 1/2" positive offset compared to typical RWD mopar rims (typical is ~+1/4" positive offset, 6.5" with 4.5" backspace is 3/4" positive offset). on the plus side is if it's normally the front corner of the wheelwell opening that's the limitation, the additional positive...

"frontspace" the same doesn't matter. 1) the tire centers side to side on the rim. 2) the rim mounts to the car based on the position of the wheel mount face. 3) offset of the wheel mount face to wheel centerline will determine clearance. the interface between the wheel and the car moved...

dammit, the board screws up my formatting...here's a screencap in the edit mode

no, it won't, because were the wheel mounts to the car is in a different spot on the wheel. one mounts at the centerline of the wheel, the other is 1/2" inboard drawing poorly in ascii the cross section: 8" wheel, 0 offset TTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TT TT TT...

nope, you need to look at the wheel mount face. the 8" (bead seat to bead seat width, 9" overall width), 4.5 backspace wheel in 0 offset. the 7" (bead seat to bead seat, 8" overall width) with 3.5" backspace is -1/2" offset (0 offset would be 4" BS). that will push the outside of the tire...

I prefer offset. that tells you where the wheel mount face is. a 8" rim is 9" wide overall, so 4.5" backspace is the same as 0 offset (the wheel mount face is perfectly centered in the wheel, 4.5" of the wheel outboard, 4.5" of the wheel inboard). a 7" rim is 8" wide overall, so 4" backspace...
