    Duster Brake Pedal Freeplay

    Its a 1973 Duster and it has Disc/Drum setup. I dont know if it can be called freeplay. When the brake pedal has returned I can pull it back another 1.5 inches. It basically is just sloppy. I have video of it but cant upload on here unfortunately.

    Duster Brake Pedal Freeplay

    I have had this issue for a while on my Duster. I have almost 1.5 inches of brake pedal freeplay. I have measured and adjusted master cylinder pushrod to recomended .020 gap. Still the same so I adjusted pushrod .020 the other way giving it a little preload. Still the same. From what I can...

    Power Steering Pump differences

    Id like to run a Saginaw Type 2 pump but it seems like no one makes the brackets for Mopar. I hate the old Saginaw pumps I have had nothing but problems with leaking/weeping pumps over the years.

    I want to remove the bell housing on this Gen1 Hemi but its stuck solid. Need to spin to get to all the flywheel nuts. I removed all the plugs today and they looked pretty good except cylinder 1 which was rusty and was the most difficult to remove so I would say that has had water in that...

    Duster Brake Combinbation/ Prop Valve

    This has turned into a bigger job than I thought. My brother had an E body Combo valve (inline Tube) he had lying around for years but never used. It looked the same as my A body one except the bracket to hold it on. I modified the bracket and got it all put back together on my Duster. Well...

    5.7 Crank Tight Spot

    Got back to looking at this 5.7 yesterday. I removed the crank and torqued all caps When I measured clearance t 80 ft pound I had .0025 clearance however when I Torque to 100 ft pounds I have .001 which is obviously to damn tight. I think when the line hone was done the caps were snugged...

    Duster Brake Combinbation/ Prop Valve

    Granted some of it was however the brass is damaged and knurled over one one spot. I did have to apply heat when removing some of the flare fittings and maybe I contributed to its demise but nothing else in the unit is damaged.

    Duster Brake Combinbation/ Prop Valve

    My first job on my newly installed hoist was removing this valve. Was still a pain in the *** because of headers but a lot easier than lying on floor. Anyway after stripping the combo valve this is the damage i discovered on one of the pistons/valve?. It is butchered and obviously it has been...

    5.7 Crank Tight Spot

    I took block and crank to machine shop and got it line honed and they checked crank for runout. The crank was fine but the block did in fact need a line hone. Put the crank back in and torqued mains to 50 ft lb no binding whatsover. Then went to 80 ft lb - no binding. Then went to 100 as per...

    lying under cars is gonna be a thing of the past

    The hoist is a HAPP but I believe they are only Australian. They lift to a total of 6 ft and can lift 4 ton. My enclosed Carport has an internal height of almost 12ft. The concrete has a thickness of 5 inches which would not be enough for a 2 post so the decision of 2 post v 4 post was made...

    5.7 Crank Tight Spot

    I put the crank in this engine and torqued it all down. i could turn the crank by hand however it just felt a little tight in one spot. I could still turn it by hand but it felt like it was grabbing slightly. I pulled it all apart and inspected the bearings and there was no obvious scuffing...
