I finally got the ol' Duster to be roadworthy but it is in no way ready to be shown to judges. I thought they used to have a fun field class where you showed your car for fun only. I couldn't find that info at their site. I don't want to spend 55 bucks just to have it inside the gates for one...

On the way to the cruise in, my car suddenly developed a noise in the tranny. Will not do it in park, will in neutral on idle. Rev, and it goes away. In gear, decelerate and it comes on. Sit in gear at light, it happens. Accelerate, and it goes away. Rebuilt transmission and new B&M torque...

I have a 1972 Duster 340 that is getting an engine rebuild. I was looking at some silvolite pistons for it. I copied this from the description Brand: Silvolite Pistons Part Number: 1267 Condition: New Silv-O-Lite Pistons for 1968-71 Chrysler 340 5.6L V8 Standard Size, matched set Flat Top...

I just found out that my supposedly externally balanced 340 has a forged crank. My trans had the weighted torque converter for sure but now I am questioning what harmonic balancer the idiot before me, put on the car. My engine is at the machine shop right now and the balancer is not where I...

I was going to swap out my 3.8 Kickdown lever (that applies the kickdown band) with a 4.2 lever. I cannot get the 1/4 inch pipe plug that holds the lever's shaft in. I tried using a 1/4 inch ratchet. It is so stuck that I broke the ratchet. Can anyone help me on this ?? Thanks. Steve

Can someone tell me where I can find and purchase the brake line that goes across the firewall? I would be most appreciative Steve

What the heck is the buzzing noise in my tranny? (1972 Duster 340 727 auto) It only happens in neutral and mainly when cold. I noticed it will not engage in reverse unless i put it in briefly in neutral first. I am going to do a tranny rebuild but really want to know what this is first in case I...

I have been having issues with my 727 trans in my 72 Duster 340. I had fixed what I could and put on a new converter and pump shaft seal and bearing. Stopped the leak up there and then found there were more problems. Good 1-2 shift but 2-3 is weak. Car does not want to back up until warm...

Hi, I am looking for 2 new polished stainless steel trim rings for my 14 x 5.5 sbp rallye wheels for my Duster. I don't want chrome as I already have ones for the back that are just polished stainless and I really like the polished over the brushed finish anyway. Anybody have a specific link to...

So, here is a problem that has been bugging me. My Duster's oil smells like gas. It has been happening over the years and gets to the point that the oil needs changed. I remember a few years ago, I changed the fuel pump to see if it helped but it didn't. The car only gets started and run as I...

I have a 72 Duster 340 that had a 727 trans in it that has PK2801542K 2392 9273 stamped on the drivers side pan rail. (I bought it that way) It decodes as 67 727 for 318 and my 3 prong neutral safety switch does not work in it for the back up lights only. I did fix the wiring so that all checks...

I bought a brand new speedo cable for my 1972 Plymouth Duster 340 w/ 727 auto. I hooked it up and figured that If I ran the car in drive while car is up, the cable should turn, right? I did this as I wanted to make sure that it was in ok? Well, it does not turn. I pulled the pinion cover off and...

I have a 72 Duster 340 w/ 727 auto and 8 3/4 rear. I was looking to get a set of universal joints for it (front and rear of drive shaft). In looking to order them, I have a choice of 2 sizes. (1) 1.078 Inch Bearing Cups (2) 1.126 Inch Bearing Cups. How do I tell which size I need before I order...

I am looking for a backing plate nut and bolt for my 1972 Plymouth Duster 340. It is for the front 10 inch drum brake backing plate. There are 4 total but the one I want is completely different than the other 3. It is the one on the bottom and is toward the rear of the car. The reason I need it...

My fuse box has the fuses numbered one through seven. What is on which fuse? I need a total breakdown. Could someone break it down for me? My most important question is, what all is on the same fuse as the turn signals? I need this to trouble shoot a couple of shorts. Any help would be...

I am working on the dash wiring in my 72 Duster 340. When I bought the car it somehow had a dash harness from a 73. I had the dash out and had worked on the dash wiring. Using a schematic, I had traced out and rectified any discrepencies. I put it in and hooked it up today. I have no rear body...

I have a 1972 Plymouth duster 340 that I currently have the dash out of. I have the wiring harness out of it and have gone through a lot of things tracing it and matching it up w/ the schematic from the 72 Dodge Dart-Demon Plymouth Valient-Duster wiring diagram Manual. Problem is that I think...
