    1971 Duster rear seat belts, black

    I need factory rear seat belts for my 71 duster. I actually have the male half so only really need the female half the side with the release button. Should be fairly nice since the car these are for has had a frame off restoration. Thanks.

    1964 273 can't get it to idle

    I bought a 64 Valiant and it has an edlebrock 600 CFM 4 barrel carb. I believe it is over carborating this factory stock engine. Should I give up on this set up and go with a 2 barrel intake and carb. It just will not run and idle below 1200 rpm's. Other than idle it runs great.
