    318 build for retro race car

    Ha ha. Derailed with the first response. Love it! To my knowledge I'm not related to anyone on this forum or in this state. So I highly doubt it. Reeves quoted $4k-5k for an engine rebuild when we first moved here last year. I've not heard good things about them from my car club. "Sub par" and...

    318 build for retro race car

    ==================== A little background ==================== My '72 Duster 318/904 is mostly original and the numbers match. I want to keep it that way. It's a base model, and I mean BASE: no a/c, manual drum brakes, manual steering, 904 trans, and 2.73 gears. HOWEVER, the end goal is to...

    1970 Duster , What are these holes for??

    For a second I thought mine had that trim, so I had to go check. Nope. I do have the rocker and wheel trim, which I'm told is rather uncommon.

    Used Demon 750?

    I found a Demon 750 (vac adv) for sale locally. The seller says that it's been sitting in his shop for about a year and probably needs a rebuild. What should I look for on this carb? What would raise red flags? What's the most I should pay if it just needs a rebuild? This could be a super...

    New to the whole thing!

    Joined the Middle Georgia Mopar Club last Saturday. They're a super friendly and knowledgeable group. They were all over and underneath her before I knew what was happening! I learned a couple things about my car right off the bat: the chrome trim on the rockers and fenders is uncommon (they...

    My Duster acted very similar when I first got it. I had to ease into acceleration or the engine would bog down. Everyone said it was the accelerator pump, but it worked just fine. I adjusted the linkage connected to the accelerator pump and she ran like champ. It was originally in the middle...

    Where's this noise coming from?

    Finally got around to checking the timing. I adjusted it as per fishy68's instructions and it sounds A LOT better. I drove around town and on the highway and didn't hear that damned noise all day! It's very strange to me that that noise just became noticeable at a certain stress level, but...

    Where's this noise coming from?

    Been busy moving in all weekend. I haven't had time to do anything car related, but the plus side of that is I can access my tools! I'll break out the timing light when I have more than a couple minutes. :D I stopped by a local shade tree mechanic on Friday. He and his buddy said it's spark...

    Where's this noise coming from?

    I just want to check them for the clunk and jerk from shifting.

    Where's this noise coming from?

    I've noticed that the rate and pitch of the noise doesn't change through the throttle sweep. Some kind of threshold is met and a consistent noise occurs.

    Where's this noise coming from?

    I forgot to add that it was in drive with the parking brake engaged in both videos. It does make the noise in neutral, but it was so faint that I couldn't hear it without the hood up. The guy that I dealt with at the consignment lot I bought it from said it had a stuck lifter. That ticking...

    Where's this noise coming from?

    We did just move and dropped 2000 ft, so the carb does need a tweak. Would the altitude change require a timing adjustment too? I had it set pretty good a couple months ago. My tools are in storage, though. :tard: Revving in neutral or park doesn't produce the noise. I only notice it while in...

    Where's this noise coming from?

    My 72 Duster with 318/904 has been making a high pitch rattle lately. It almost sounds like the sipping of the last bit of soda from a cup with a straw, but more like a high pitched rattle. It occurs when accelerating and above normal engine load (hills). Regular cruising is quiet but I feel a...

    Thanks everybody! We like it very much. You just can't beat that feeling of being the coolest kid on the block when driving a beautiful car.

    Okay, okay... I will take and post pics as soon as I can. I should've seen that coming! Mike, there's a 318 under the hood backed by an A904. Also, I forgot that the decal on the rear is original. Whoever painted the car taped it off.

    I'm a Chevy guy that got seduced by a 72 Duster earlier this year. I love it. More importantly, my wife loves it, too. It appears to be in pretty good shape considering it spent the last 40 years in South Dakota. Good stuff: I'm the second owner. Numbers match. Found the broadcast sheet in...

    new from south dakota

    I just left that area last week, bringing a 72 Duster with me. Maybe you saw it at Doug's Sinclair before I scooped it up?
