    A Painting of my Duster!

    I just posted this over on Slantsix.org, but I had to share the love around for how awesome this is! I just had my 30th birthday on the weekend. My wife has been planning a big party for me for a really long time, along with a few other surprises. This here is the BIG surprise!! I was floored...

    The coveted Sharktooth grille

    I'm just starting to look for one, but I remember there being a mom and pops business that were making their own. I can't seem to track them down. Did they stop making them? What's the best way to track one of these puppies(new or old) down anyway? Any help is appreciated, thanks guys.

    Hemi 6 245 & 265 Crates

    Hey everyone! I've searched the forums trying to find any kind of information on these crates, but haven't found a thing. I was goofing around doing some research on the E49 Chargers, when I found this: http://www.hemiperformance.com.au/store2/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=197 Has anyone had...

    Hub Caps from my 72 Duster

    I'm not sure of the size, but they did come off a 5 X 4 bolt patterned wheel. I also have the steel wheel and rubber if you're interested. PM me if you have any questions. Click for larger images.

    1974 Dart into a 1972 Duster

    So I've had my 72 Duster for quite some time now. I've done most everything I need to get it "prepped" for a 360, and I'm finally at the point where I just need to throw an engine in. A 1974 Dart came up for sale in my area and it's looking to be in pretty rough shape externally, but the...

    My 1972 Duster...with new wheels and rear!

    So I've had my Duster for 8 years now. I bought it right after graduation, and I did the front disc brake conversion, new hoses, exhaust manifold and such. I've been itching for a cosmetic change for quite sometime. It's a 225 car, and I will be doing the swap over to my 408 stroker this winter...

    Lug Nuts

    Okay, so I picked up my rims and rubber last year. It's a set of U.S. wheels 5 spoke 5X4.5 pattern. The lugs that came with it are just plain ugly, so I'd like to order new ones. Does anyone have any clue of the typical measurements of the thread size? I'm looking to order off Summit, but they...

    Plans for the 2008 Car Season!

    A lot of you have had your cars packed away for the winter, but the season is almost upon us(for some it never left...lucky you!). What are your big plans for your ride this year? Are you going to throw in the big block you've been waiting to put in? Are you going to drag it for the first...

    Women golfers...

    A wife comes home from playing golf with her friends. “How was your day?” her husband asks. “It was just awful,” she replies. “I got stung by a bee.” “Oh, that must’ve hurt. Where’d you get stung?” the husband asks. “Between the first and second holes,” she tells him. “Hmm,” he says...

    My 1972 Plymouth Duster...plus a 71 Scamp?

    Okay, so I'm fairly certain that most parts from these two cars are transferable, but I just want to verify. I've got a 72 Slant Six Duster that has a body in beautiful shape. I know a fellow selling a 71 Scamp, that's a big bondo job, but it still looks decent. It has a blue printed 360, 727...

    Window leaks...slightly!

    Howdy! So it was a long time ago, but I remember reading about some kind of liquid you can put on your window seals to expand them a little bit. Does any one recall what you would rub into the seals?

    727 Tranny

    Okay, so I know little to nothing about transmissions. I just purchased a 360 block and the guy threw in the 727 that came with it. Can I keep and use my column shift with the 727? Will it work? What do I need to do to make it work? Anyone out there done this before? Thanks!

    Purchased the used wheels and tires I mentioned

    Okay, so I went and picked them up today, and the guy left them in a really crappy state. It's a set of 5 spoke us wheels. 15X7's and 15X8's. They were really dirty and the chrome had some surface rust which really worried me. I got them home and pulled out some really fine steel wool and went...

    Looking at a set of used rims...

    There's a fellow who has a decent set of US Wheels (Classic 5 spoke) that were on his cordoba. Fronts are 15X7 and backs are 15X8. He measured from the inside of the rim to the edge of the tire and it measures 5.25 inches. My question is, will this fit on my 72 Duster? I'm worried that there...

    Completely Stock slant six Duster at the track!

    Howdy! Well, I've been wanting to get into racing for quite some time, and it's been planned to put a warmed 360 into my Duster, but before I made any mods, I really wanted to know what times it would run on the slant six. Well, here in Edmonton, Alberta on the weekend, we had the 10th...

    Front Shocks

    Howdy, I'm fairly new to working on cars, and I would really like to replace my front shocks on my own as one of them is squeeking fairly bad. My question is, if I jack the front end up high enough so that the wheels are off the ground, is there still going to be pressure in the shocks? I am...

    Headlight Lens

    Howdy, I hit a pothole last Thursday and it jarred my 1972 Duster so hard my headlight lens and bulb smashed. Does anyone have any idea where I could find a "new" one? The bulbs are easy enough to find, but I haven't had any luck with the actual lens.

    Rear Suspension?

    I'm fairly new to working on cars, and don't know a whole lot. I figured that my only choice for "springs" in the rear were leaf springs. I guess I've seen other setups, but just never thought it to be possible for my ride. What kind of suspension is this? Is it easy to install such a suspension...

    Painting the master cylinder

    Howdy, I'm on my third master cylinder since I purchased my car 3 years ago, and I've noticed that they really like to rust. My car doesn't really rust anywhere else, so I'm going to guess it has something to do with the brake fluid condensation or something. If I was to paint the master...

    Sway bars

    Howdy, I've been reading a little bit about those $99 front sway bars you can pick up from Just Suspension. They seem like they make a pretty big difference around the corners. Has anyone here had any experience with them? Is there any welding required? I currently have a slant 6 Duster. Will...

    Occupation?

    The breakfast thread got me thinking. We're all from different locations for the most part, I would imagine we all have different professions, but we all have a huge interest in A-bodied Mopars. So what do you do for a living? Does what you do for work directly relate to your hobby?

    Gas in exhaust

    I've had this problem with unburned gas coming out my exhaust. If you have any suggestions on what might be the problem, I would be glad to hear it. I thought it was the carb, but it ended up not being the case.

    Rear ends - explaination

    I'm very interested in swapping out my rear end, but I virtually have no knowledge of how they work or the numbers people are using when referring to the rears. I've been reading and I understand the 8 3/4 rears are supposed to be quite good for all applications. I currently have a 72 Duster...

    Spline?

    I currently have a slant 6 72 Duster. I did a front disc brake conversion two years ago, but I'm still using the old 5/4 bolt pattern. I am very eager to switch over to the 5/4.5 pattern, but the rear end is limiting me. I don't have the coin to completely change out my rear end at this point...

    Value of Slant Six Car

    I have a friend who owns a 4-door 1975 Plymouth Valiant with a 225. The car is a bit rusty in the quarters. It drives pretty decent, and recently had a new carb put in. I think he said it has around 70K miles on it. He's looking to sell it, but has no idea of the value. I can't imagine it would...

    Problems with my Slant 6

    The timing chain jumped at the end of last season and my 72 Duster was running very rough afterwards. What kinds of things should I look for to replace or fix?

    Carburetor problems...maybe?

    I own a 1972 Plymouth Duster with a Slant Six. I'm running the single barrel carb. I had a cracked exhaust manifold about a year and a half ago, so I brought it into a shop and they installed the new manifold. As I'm sure you know, installing the new manifold requires the removal of the intake...

    1966 Barracuda parts into a 1972 Duster

    Do you guys know if most of the parts of the drivetrain are compatable between a 66 Barracuda and a 72 Duster?

    Decoding the Build sheet

    I've searched and searched trying to find out how to decode my build sheet, but I have yet to find what I'm looking for. I own a 1972 Duster with a slant six. If you know a good website for decoding, please let me know.
