Ok, update as promissed. The new orange ignition module and harness came in from Summit. I cleaned the paint off the grounding points at the bolts and hooked up the old harness and she fire off immediately. So if you go to change out your module I highly recommend ordering an original orange or...

Found it on page 3 of the manual that covers most edelbrock carbs. 6. Do not use more than 6.5 PSI fuel pressure. Excessive fuel pressure may cause flooding. If your fuel pressure is too high, install an adjustable pressure regulator, such as Edelbrock #8190.

I still think it is too much fuel pressure and its flooding. I drove my Challenger for several weeks before my flooding problem started to happen. I put an inline gauge, fuel filter and the pressure regulator so I could monitor the pressure and once I set it at 5.5 psi I never had the problem...

I put an Edelbrock performer 650 carb on my 340 Challenger and it would drop on its nose while accelerating especially on cold mornings. I got a metering rod kit and played with them until it performed perfectly except when I was at a light at times it would studder and stall. Foot to the floor...

Oldmanmopar, I paid 38.00 for the orange box from Summit, 36.00 for the boxes from the local store that are going back.

WOW, nice post 67Dart273, very indepth. I just placed an order from Summit for an orange box and a new entire harness. 20.00 bucks for a new harness is a no brainer. I will let you all know if changing these fixes the problem. If not I am now armed with your knowledge to track down and kill the...

Thanks for the responses folks. I did replace the ballist resistor thinking it may have broken down to a level that matched the brake down on the old module but the new resistor had the same effect. As far as getting the same one back they had to order it which took two days, the box on the...

Ok Mopar GURU,s I have a 1973 Duster with a 318, Auto trans. I have the notorious goo running from behind the ignition module. Preventative maintenance dictates a change before failure. Keep in mind the car is running great with this module installed. I bought a replacement from the local auto...

Rallyerick and 74Dartswinger360 saved me from having to live with the grief of killing one. Thanks guys, it was great meeting you! Reviver

I know,,,I have guilt. It was this or search for years to find all the parts one at a time to do the mod. I am hopeing there is someone out there that has a rusty one that can swap there parts back in and save it.

Should be easier to see

Pic of the Slant 6 and 904 Trans

Here are a few pics Crap, first the pics were to big - now there to small. Let me know if you want to see anything in particular and I will try again with a better shot.

The engine harness was used in my sons duster during the swap. All of the harnesses are in very good shape, the harnesses in the dash are like brand new. I dont have the time to disect parts from the car but if it is an item I can remove with minimal time I will. Most all the parts on this car...

I have a 1974 Tan 4 door Plymouth Valiant donor car for sale. The drive line was pulled to put in my sons duster, also most of the dash parts. The body is very solid and most all of the interior is in great shape, glass and bumpers also in very good condition. Even has nice original hub caps...

Do you still need a radiator? If so I have one that is about 3 years old from my sons 73 duster we just swapped from a slant to 318. Its in great shape.

That's what it looked like to me, glad to hear someone that has done it chime in with a confidence builder. It usually looks easy until you get the rib cage spread open, then it all goes to poop from there.

AH HA...I see the conversion mounts are a little more work than I expected. Did not know you have to modify the K member to make them work. Cut, Grind, Drill and hope. I thought they were direct bolt on. That may change the plan.

Seems like a lot more work than the conversion mounts. I have snatched motor and tranny out the top in less than 30 minutes many times and I spent $1300 doing the brake conversion so the front suspenssion is all new including the torsion bars. Dont want to go back in there if I dont have to. Has...

The Duster was a drum but converted to disc with the kit. The valiant is disc. I have not swapped a K frame before and was looking for the easy way out. Also have minimal room to work on in the garage if both cars are side by side. I will have to do that for the rear end swap but was going to...

I am trying to get more info on the donor car to see what rear and trans are in it. It should be a 904 and 8.25 hopefully. As for the K member yes I will be getting the adapter mounts. Thanks for the hopeful good news that the shaft will fit guys.

Looking to swap a 318 drive train from a 1974 4 door valiant into a 73 duster with a /6. I will be swapping motor, trans and rear all at the same time. Question is will the drive shaft be the correct length or can I reuse the duster /6 shaft?

So a possible fix for now would be to find a set of axles with LBP and change out the bearings? There is a mutitude of problems with this rear right now besides the bolt pattern. The previous owner had installed a set of coil springs on the axle that make an awfull sproing sound going over speed...

Thanks for the reply Thats what I thought. I was just wondering if there was an off the wall car that would have the right rear we could look for. Anyone out there have one laying around in the way close to Tampa FL?

My sons 73 Duster has a 9 bolt 7 1/4 rearend with 5 on 4 bolt pattern. We are using a set of 1 inch thick adapter plates to convert to 5 on 4 1/2 to fit the wheels we put on and match the disc brake fronts we converted too. The rear wheels rub in semi hard corners and the bearings will need to...

I thought they would only line up one way but not seeing the dot and having a vibration had me second guessing. Thanks for the replies Reviver

When I realised I painted over the white dot I checked the manual and it says, under removal, to make sure to mark the flex plate and converter and that it is very impotant to do so. The white dot was very faint but I could see it when I removed it. I suppose I could try to sand litely and see...

1973 Duster, slant six, 904 trans. I pulled the motor to regasket and change some worn components, timing chain, water pump ect. When I disconnected the torque converter there was already a white dot on the flex plate and conveter to mark arrangement. Problem is when I painted the motor the flex...

Finally got it fixed. I made an L braket that I bolted under the nut that secures the pedal to the rod. It is located perfectly in front of the brake light switch and with a long slot cut allows for alot of adjustment. I cut the 2 inches of play down to 1 inch and the pedal has a better...
