No need for further research. You wont be disappointed.

Its finally fixed! I changed out the gauge and its running and driving fine, never moves from 7 psi with a stock unregulated pump. So all along it was just a combination of a faulty gauge and needles and seats acting up in the carb.

It sucked the bowls dry and died the first time. Then it stalled and was dripping out a booster so im thinking sticky needle and seat in my 750 carb. Ill be swapping out the gauge and driving it again changing nothing else to see if thats the problem. My best guess at this point is a combination...

Well i swapped carbs to a 600? Cfm holley i had laying around. Dont know much about it other than its old and worked the last time i used it. The car ran without a hitch with the other carb so im going to throw a kit in my good carb and reset the float levels. The weird thing is my pressure...

I just realized i never tried this. I will be doing this next for sure just to rule out the carb possibly

Well now im completely stumped. Heres what i have tried: -removed regulator -changed back to stock mechanical fuel pump -took the gas cap completely off when pressure was dropping -inspected every inch of the vent and feed lines, not close to any exhaust and no pinch points or kinks And also...

Tomorrow before work i will check out the vent system. But i was also wondering do you think the gas is the issue? Im in wisconsin and maybe were still getting rid or winter blend since it dips in the 40's over night. Im using 93 octane with 10% ethanol. Thats the best i can get around here...

Thanks for the quick replies. I think my vent is good because i blew 10psi into the vent tube to get fuel up to the carb. But i will see if it does it with the cap loose anyway. Any other things to try?

I just finished changing out the whole drivetrain in my 72 duster. I have a new 3/8 pickup, 3/8 hard line (aluminum) with the fuel filter roughly by the passenger floor. Running a carter m6270 if i remember right and a holley dead head style regulator with -6AN from the pump to the carb. Holley...

If youre on a budget i have a used box, give me $10 and pay to ship and its yours. Coming from 53085, you will also need to lengthen the steering shaft for the swap. Spline might be different as well? Someone might need to chime in on that one. My manual box is filled with grease though, im...

I have a b body 8 3/4 rear under my 72 duster and i run 18x7 wheels with 5.5" backspace. They have the perfect amount of quarter clearance if you ask me, about 1/2" on the outside and about 3/4" to the stock location leafs with 235/45 tires. Hope this helps!

Well im hoping its a flaw in the headwork, otherwise im completely stumped because i carefully picked my combo. Obviously in hindsight i shouldve checked the heads but i trusted a shop that does them every day more than myself. Maybe i shouldnt have. Hopefully in a week or two ill have pics and...

Thats the insight i was looking for, i do not know about shims or clearance as i did not assemble them. Now i know what to check at disassembly, what should stem to guide clearance be?

Thanks for all the replies! Let me try to answer some questions. The first time it happened it was ex #7, second time in #7. This time it is intake #5. The heads were fitted with bigger valves and ported by what i thought was a reputable shop but with this being the third time i definatley wont...

Pushrod is junk, probably bent too but i didnt pull it out. How tough are roller cams? When this happened with my solid flat tappet cam it took out a lobe. Im REALLY hoping thats not the case with my hydraulic roller. Sorry if pic size is off, stuggling with the phone here haha

Contact patch looks good as far as i know, i checked it at assembly and it was right in the center

Rocker is hopefully salvageable once its all cleaned up

I dont know if anyone remembers my other thread, but this is the third time this has happened to me. First two times were RHS heads and they didnt even last 10 min before sticking a valve. This set is EQ, ported with 2.02in/1.60ex. I have about 1000 miles on this combo. I have included some...

Maybe its the tires... :burnout:

they tuned the 4 corner screws, added a little timing, changed primary and secondary mains, changed the power valve and i think the high and low speed air bleeds? im not exactly sure on that one though. all in the bill was $560 and they had it 4 days. that involved tuning on the dyno and...

just got the car back! it put down 320whp/320wtq so considering its just a lowly 318 im pretty happy with almost 400hp at the crank! i dont know how to upload dyno sheets but peak torque is at 3900 and peak hp at 6300rpm. the curve looks nice but right after peak power it takes a nose dive and...

Dropping it off tomorrow! They said theyll need it all week though so i wont have any info til next weekend. This is my first build...hope it holds together!

yes fully balanced with a fluidampr and aluminum flywheel. looking back i dont know why i skimped on pistons, that seems to be the weak link in my setup. oh well, nothing im gonna do about it now haha but i wish i could dyno it tomorrow. im really impatient now

thanks for the reply, i looked into that and also west bend dyno tuning. they both seem identical in price and experience so based off of distance alone i think im going to use west bend, ill update with results if anyones interested. im scheduled for may 19th, hopefully it holds together. i...

im not looking for someone to tell me a number, im looking for someone to help me tune it. change jets, power valves, adjust secondaries, timing curves ect. i do have some extra dist. springs and an adjustable advance limiter plate but im looking for an old expert to help me out...i dont even...

later on last year i finally got my duster up and running and i have about 1000 miles on the motor but it seems sluggish with a dead spot in the throttle. the plugs look good but the car stinks pretty bad. im looking for a knowledgeable person with a chassis dyno in the midwest. i would like to...

so i swapped out the power valve for a 8.5 and while i had it apart i investigated the lack of ported vacuum and it seems the proform main body doesnt have it. where do i go from here? i have been researching it and it sounds like the main body can be drilled for ported vacuum, has anyone...

pm replied. door emblems and grille are gone. i have almost a complete interior still, scrapped a lot of 318 parts today but i cant find it in me to scrap fenders they dont reproduce! someone come take it all, open to any offers

the grille is sold, along with pretty much all the suspension. i still have most interior parts, the drivers door panel is damaged and arm rests are junk but everything else i have sitting around still. original gold duster parts, willing to sell individual parts...let me know what you need
