Hey guys, I just replaced my turn switch assembly on the steering column and was going to put the wheel back on. It's a cheap Grant, the GT I think. As I am sliding the hub for the wheel over the splines on the shaft, the horn goes off when the hub contacts the horn plunger switch. The whole...

Hey Guys, I'm getting real close now to starting the rebuilt 360, and I'm back to the oil pump priming thing. Several times I have run the drill until smoke was coming out of it, with no oil to the rockers... and then I was thinking about what some of you have said about turning the motor...

Is there a huge difference between the slant six cooler lines, and the V8 lines? I'm trying to line them up, and the bends don't seem to be correct. Should I try to shape them around, or just spend the hundred bucks on a set of V8 lines? Anybody have any pics of the routing? Thanks

Just a follow up, but still have some questions about how long you have to run the drill. I heated up a brand new drill, and then went through one of the batterires on my cordless, and it did'nt seem llike there was an abundant amount of oil at the rockers. I think it did fill the oil filter, as...

Has anyone installed the Summit exhaust system for A-bodies? The hangers they included show right behind the muffler in the instructions, looks like they are using the rear body mount bolt. The hangers that I got in the kit are straight. Do they have to be bent to utilize the body mount bolt...

Has anyone painted their exhaust system? I was thinking it would be good protection for the metal, using high temp black back to the mufflers, and then regular black back to the chrome tips. Is it worth the bother, or are there reasons not to do it at all? Thanks for your thoughts...

Hey guys, How long do you have after you have primed the oil pump on the rebuilt motor before firing and breaking in? Do you have to drop the distributor in and get her fired right away? Thanks

Hey Guys, Just wanted to thank you again for all your input. I found a 904 out of a 73 Scamp at a local wrecking yard, and the new torque converter slipped right on with the required clearance. It was the difference in the input shafts, and the fact that the 1977 904 was a lock up trans...

Thanks Greendart, You nailed it...the old converter has a little sticker on it that says LS Lock Up...and the trans was from a 1977 Cordoba. So...what do I do now?

Moparseguru, I went out and fought with it a little more...tried your suggestion...still does not seem to be bottoming out. Is there any reason why the torque converter lugs would still be outside the bellhousing of the trans, when they are supposed to be a half inch inside? Thanks

Hey Guys! Have'nt visited for awhile, but I'm back to work on the Duster. I have a stock replacement torque converter from Year One for the 904, and I'm trying to get it to slide onto the tranny input shaft so I can drop the motor in. I marked the locations of the tranny pump rotor lugs...

Hey All, a question for those of you who have lifted your rear end with longer shackles in the rear...which shock did you use and why, any part numbers for a KYB gasajust that would work? Thanks

Hey Guys, I'm having trouble locating a radiator for the Duster. Does anyone have a part number and company for a rad that will bolt in after doing a 360 swap from the slant six?

Hi, a question for you guys with bucket seats. How high off of the floor pan do they sit? I saw a few posts from members that went with Procar buckets to increase the headroom in the car. I would like to stay with original buckets, but I have the same concern about getting in and out of the car...

I scored the motor/trans today. Got it home and up on the hoist, took off a bunch of the old stuff I won't be using. Girlfriend saw me elbow deep in degreasing, and I had to laugh...told her this is the dirty part. I'll see if I can get some pics and set up a post to show you all my progress. I...

Thanks for the info guys. Now, I'm pretty sure I'm going to get it. Have to look at it first, but he said it was complete except for alternator. I just got my engine stand and hoist put together, so it's time for a couple of beers! I'll be pulling the slant six and 904 out of the Duster as...

Hey guys, I have a chance at a 360/904 out of a 78 Cordoba. The guy wants $200. Should I grab this for my 72 Duster? Don't know the mileage yet, but i'm meeting him tomorrow.

Thanks Tiny, I'm curious cuz I just bought a 72 Duster with a cop car rear end. I'd like to find out what they used it in to stay ahead of the street cars.

Does anyone know of a list of the A body cars the police used in the 70's?

Hi guys, just wondering, if you had a chance to change over to power steering would you do it, or keep the manual set up? Is a manual car really that hard to steer? Thanks

Thank you guys! Wow, that color does look really good on Cuda's car, I may have found my color! lol

I was wondering if anyone had the B-9 Regal Blue Poly or the B-7 Midnight Blue Poly on their ride? If so, how do you like it, is it a metallic paint? It's hard to tell from the paint samples I've seen online. I'd like to get some pics of actual cars with these colors on them. Thanks

Hey all! I've been reading some of the great stuff you guys have provided on doing a swap from a column shift to 4-Speed on the floor. I was wondering about the cross member though. Other than welding in the tranny hump, and finding an A-833 with the right shifter and linkages and stuff, does...
