Thanks guys. The factory 20s sound like a good way to go. Now to find some.

Yea if I used it as a truck I wouldn't lower it either. Well honestly I don't even think its fair to call it a truck. It only has the V6. Those melons are the only real load it has carried, ever. Doesn't even have a receiver setup. With the rake the rear has it makes it nearly impossible to...

My daily driver is a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500. Single cab, short bed 2 wheel drive. My wife owned it when we got married and I started driving it when she got a new car. Trying to sharpen its looks up a bit. Going to level it with rear shackles and trying to decide on wheels. It has the 17in...

Just last month here in north Texas we had a four year old lose his entire leg due to a lawn mower. Grandpa was mowing and he was running around in the yard playing. Apparently grandpa made a sharp left turn and he was there and was pulled under the deck. I understand having the kid on the...

Make sure the booster will clear your valve cover.... Example being, The booster Oreilly sells for the /6 Duster will not fit the V8s, it hits the driver's side valve cover. You need a booster that is around 7-8 inches in diameter. I believe I picked up a replacement for my 76 Duster that was...

Thanks, this is probably what I will do. So quick question, which transmission is better, the 727 or 904? I have the 904. Should I try and get a 727 while I'm at it?

Yea I will be moving my 4bbl eidelbrok intake and carb over. Will also install a new cam and timing set. Thanks for the tip on the converter.

So the 318 has a noise from the bottom end that's going to require a teardown. Thinking its time for the 360 upgrade. My junkyard guy has a 360 from a late seventies motorhome. Apparently only has 60K on it but I'm going to go through it anyway. Anyone here know of any problems I might hit...

Well air cleaner was the least of my worries. Got it all bolted back together took that pic and within 30 min of driving had a bad knock. Think I'm losing a bearing. Guess the Duster will be parked till I find a 360 block and pull the 318. Anyone selling a 360LA long block? lol.

I definately agree but I doubt they will fit me. Would buy one if they will fit me. I wear an 8 in fitted caps. Any luck on an XXL size?

Well the knock I was hearing is somthing worse than we had first hoped.... It has gotten worse and is coming from deep it sounds like.... Oil pressure is good so not sure why its knocking. Im afraid im losing a bearing... May be time for a 360 now. Just not looking forward to pulling the engine...

For the record it doesn't fit. Too big around... Hits the valve cover... Now where to find one that will fit.

I need to change my brake booster on my 76 Duster V8. Parts store told us they found one and ordered it. My buddy is picking it up right now and now they say it wont work on the V8 because its made for the /6. Is this true? Bolt holes to brackets/master cylender all are the same. I dont see...

Yup its very nice. The counties to the east and south of me have smog regulations for newer vehicles but not ones as old as our A-Bodies. I'm sure its just a matter of time before we have to start getting checked though. Plus I'm fortunate enough to have a shop that "inspects" vehicles by...

Well found the idiot light wire. My buddy who wired up the carb used it for the choke 12volt supply. Idiot light problem solved.... Now to find a wire for 12 volts to the choke.

Distributor I was planning to use wouldn't clear the firewall/wiper motor. So with stock dizzy I went with a chrome 14in. Mr Gasket from O'reilly since it was convenient and don't look bad. Thanks for the advice guys.

Ive noticed a lot of talk about using old electronics. Im cheap too but learned an interesting lesson last year. I had a 10 year old water heater and fridge. I replaced them when the freezer went out and the water heater lost an element. Was going to try to repair both but got replacements...

Well I used a scuffing pad on a drill. Left some scratches that didnt polish out but they look better than the old ones. Plus my car will never be more than a driver so I was pleased.

Yea this confused me. I was using these same diagrams. I still couldnt find a grey wire but I didnt look at the connector blocks at the firewall all that well since the diagram didnt show the wire going there. Will try that tomorrow. I may get the T fitting and a OE sending unit. I always...

The gauge is a mechanical gauge so there is a line that runs from the engine to the gauge. The oil line attaches to the engine next to the distributor hold down. Guess I will just have to trace the wire from the instrument cluster back to the sending unit...

Gas is cheap, it has always been. Its the taxes and speculation that drives the price up. As for bottled water, it is purely wasteful in most situations. Energy and materials ware wasted to make the disposable bottles that most people do not recycle. Tax dollars are wasted on government...

Sorry Green1.. Had two of those sentences worded wrong. I don't know where an electrical sending unit would be located...

Just put a new intake manifold and carb on my 76 Duster with the 318. The idiot light on the dash has never lit since I bought the car. Now since the intake swap its been on constantly. The car had a aftermarket oil pressure gauge attached under the dash when I bought it. I know where the...

Well my buddy got it all buttoned up and running while I was taking care of some business. I organized some of the hoses and wires and snapped some pics. Getting some spark knock once I ran it down the road for about 30 minutes. The knock was on the driver's side of the motor and only...

New intake is on and valve covers are cleaned and repainted. Now to figure out throttle and kickdown linkages for new carb.

West of there, out of Decatur. The car came from Wichita Falls then to Alvord now to me.

Fog lights already gifted to my mechanic buddy that's helping me. As for plans, putting Edelbrock Dual plane intake with performer Carb. I guess restomod best describes my long term plans. Nock on wood the tranny and rear end seem sound. Have the 903 with 8 1/4 combo. Need to see if it has...

My wife was awsome this Christmas and bought be a new carb and intake manifold... Both were needed in my opinion Engine as purchased minus the aircleaner: Looks like previous owner put a single plane Edelbrock on the thing with the factory carb. Also painted the valve covers with some...

Had a bad exhaust leak from the start, well lets say several leaks. HAD to fix that.... Hooker comp headers, Thrush mufflers and had a local shop weld up the pipes. Also pulled the front bumperettes and fog lights off. Mid header install:

Tires and rims pictured weren't a part of the deal. Got a set of 14" American Racing Outlaw II mag wheels with some old tires. One of the tires had a bad spot... Replaced tires with some Hankooks my tire shop had at a reasonable price. Did some polishing on the rims and already seeing...
