I bought the Dart with a freshly built 360 installed. The Dart ran 12.9 at 104 with this motor in front of a 727 with a 1.9 60'. I plan to drop a new gen Hemi in the car and will be pulling this motor. I really don't know what it's worth. From top to bottom Holley 650cfm with vacuum...

I've been told these engines are supposed to sound like sewing machines. I think mine sounds a little noisier than that. I hear the exhaust leak, but there seems to be something else there. What do y'all think? Motor has about 6000 on the rebuild. Feels strong but this noise seems to be...

The car is at Safelite now receiving a new windshield. I provided the gasket and trim clips since they couldn't source the part. The guy running the shop is familiar with old mopars and has been helpful. Here is the problem. I ordered a windshield gasket and clips. The clips are too tall and...

I'm getting the cart a little ahead of the horse here and would appreciate any info you guys can share. Normally I'd measure measure measure and then go looking for a set of wheels but I've run across a decent deal for a wheel on my wishlist and won't be able to measure the wheel opening for a...

I'm starting with a 1970 Dart Swinger with no AC running an LA 360 motor. It's about to be summer here in South Louisiana which means either the Dart will be rarely driven or I need to get to installing some blow cool. I like the classic auto air system since it seems to be complete and will...

Thanks for clicking. I'm planning out how the build on the Dart will go and could use some guidance. Currently it has a LA360 motor with Flat top pistons at 10.5-1 compression. Looks to be a fairly basic rebuild. A TCI Streetfighter 727 transmission with a manual valve body and an 8 1/4 rear...

Finally got a chance to bring the Dart to the track. I was hoping for a mid 13 second pass but was very surprised when it clicked off a 12.98 @ 104. I've got a plate waiting to go on it when I get a few minutes that I am thinking will bring it down into the low 12 high 11 second range...

I know we have a few hunters on here and it's always impressive to see what others have come up with for how to cook it. I've even noticed it's somewhat regional. Share your favorite preparations Deer - Everyone loves backstrap and tenderloin. A local shop started doing tender cuts...

I reached a point I was happy with on the 72 Duster and sold it. I picked it up as a barely running carport space taker upper and with lots of help from you guys and a little effort brought it back to a dependable cruiser. Beginning - End - I learned a lot during the process and wanted to...

Swapped from the stock intake and 2bbl to a performer intake and holley 4bbl with a spacer. I need the taller throttle bracket if anyone has one they would be willing to sell. Shipping will be to 70726.

When I bought the car the gas pedal was missing. The only thing there is the rod. I can't locate a vendor for a replacement pedal. All I am seeing are clip on dress up parts. I don't need it to be factory original I just need a pedal. Can you guys point me in the right direction?

Me* feel ignorant. I'm hoping you guys in the know can help me out. Car- 1972 Duster 318 Currently wearing a stock 2bbl holley carb. It's on the way out but may be relevant to helping answer my question. There are 2 lines leaving my fuel tank headed to the front of the car. They look...

When I picked up my '72 she still was pretty much bone stock. I've picked up a small pile of parts to perk up the driving experience. I'm hoping to get some feedback on my parts list. Here's the plan Stock 2bbl Holley -> 600cfm Holley DP. Stock Intake -> Edelbrock Performer with 318 ports...

I know the import thing isn't quite the norm here, but I figured you guys would enjoy the pics. I'll post more pics and vid as I finish editing. Haven't even started editing the vid yet. I'll post up a few quick pics from yesterday. Taylor Walton took most if not all of the pics while I was...

My 72 snorkel scoop is in good condition, but it would look perfect with a little reconditioning. I'm thinking along the lines of sanding the imperfections out and adding a coat of satin black paint. I see them for sale around and don't want to go through the trouble of the restoration if it's...

Title says it. All of my other gauges work, even fuel. Water temp is dead though. Figured I'd swap out the sending unit and problem solved but it didn't go that way. 1. Found out that when you take out the old sending unit coolant will flow out making a nice puddle in the intake. :-( 2...

Long story short I put too much money in my last project and while it was fun I'd rather not do the same with the Duster. I've been looking around at for sale ads trying to figure out value the car might have, but I'm not seeing much to compare it to. The cars either seem to be rusted out...

I'm pretty sure I've got a ps fluid leak. Is this where to top it off?

My rear push out window mechanism is loose on the driver side. It appears to be a simple phillips screw but when I tried to tighten it the sucker wouldn't budge. I figured I'd come ask you guys before I put the grunt to it and damaged the glass or some locking mechanism I can't see. I think...

This isn't factory appearing in any way. But, I may swap the car from the current bench at some point and I ran across this combination as a possible solution and wanted to share. From these guys. http://www.classictruckconsoles.com/ The console gives the ability to have cupholders, add a few...

Long term plans for the car include a single turbo setup. The preferred carb over at theturboforums is a modded Holley double pumper. Even if I bought the carb new and made the mods to it it's still hundreds cheaper than buying a new blow through carb already set up. Not to mention I can prob...

First let me first say I know zero about carbs. I've never worked on them, never tuned them, never even had a vehicle that had one. So if some of my comments or questions seem a little low on the "common knowledge" meter please cut me a little slack. My Duster came equipped with a Holley 2bbl...

I've been holding off on making my intro thread until I had better pictures of the car, but I need a quick break at work and FABO is a good solution. I recently sold my last project and have been looking around for something to fill the slot in the garage. This 1972 Duster came across...
