Happy New Year everyone. I have a 73 Duster, 318 & A904. Recently started driving the car after it sat for about 6 months. The trans won’t drop down into first gear when you come to a stop. I have to shift to neutral or first gear and then back to drive. We checked the fluid level and made...

I’m looking to replace my Duster’s 8.25 rear that has 2.45 gears. Seems 8.25 rear ends are not listed very often so decided to try a wanted ad. Anyone have one with a ratio of 3.21 or 3.55? Sure grip nice but not necessary. Car is just a fun driver. Looking for something within a days drive...

Mopars Unlimited of AZ is having a Show & Shine on Sunday, February 21st, at Larry Miller Dodge in Avondale. I have attached the flyer for more information. Hope to see some of you there. Thanks, ken

I'm looking for an 8 1/4 rear for a Duster. Needs to be 4.5" bolt pattern. Not sure if they all are so I'll mention it. :-) Would prefer gears in the 2.7x to 2.9x range but will consider others. I'm located in Phoenix, as but am willing to drive a reasonable distance to pick one up. I...

Would a cam installed retarded cause the need for excessive initial distributor advance? We recently fired the 318 in our Duster for the first time. We got it running pretty good and broke in the cam. Now we're getting down to setting everything up. Using the vaccuum method of setting...

We have a 73 Duster that was originally a slant 6 and now has a 318. The distributor wiring for the slant 6 has a long extension betwen the main harness and the distibutor wires. Do we need to keep it? I assume yes because if we eliminate it the wires going into the distributor would be...

I need a fan shroud to fit a 73 Duster with a 318 w/AC and 26" radiator. Thanks, Ken

I need the shift lever that attaches to the transmission for a 73 Duster with a 904 and a console. I don't have the original trans and the lever on the trans I have is like the third one in the attached picture but the arm is too short. I'm not sure what the correct lever looks like...

We're using stock '73 340 exhaust manifolds in my daughter's 318 Duster. We don't have any of the original hardware to bolt them to the heads. I know we can get studs and bolts at the hardware store, but what about the conical washers? Are they necessary? If so, any idea where to get them...

We're looking at different wheel options for my daughter's 73 Duster. It's a dark charcoal color and will have silver side stripes. She wants a chrome or polished wheel. We were looking at the Summit Legend series that looks like the Mustang bullit wheel and then ran across the attahed...

After degreeing the cam in my daughter's 318, we found it to be 2 * retarded. (109 vs 107 per cam card) Fellow member 340Sixpack sent us a 4* offset cam keyway. For free I might add. :thumrigh: When we installed it and rechecked it, the cam is now 6* advanced (101 vs 107). Is this...

Will a 318 oil pan from a 68 Coronet fit into a 73 Duster, also with a 318? Thanks, Ken

We degreed the Summit cam we are installing in the 318 for my daughter's Duster and it needs to be advanced 2 degrees to match the cam card. Which method is most common? Offset cam key? Offset cam bushings? Offset crank key? And, where's the best place to get it? Thanks, Ken

I picked up a real nice duplicate of the dual snorkle scoop for my daughter's 73 Duster but it doesn't have provisions for the mounting studs. The lip on the underside of the scoop is nice and think so I don't thik I'll have a problem installing the studs. I just don't know where they go...

Like a dummy I didn't keep the brake hardware separate when taking it all apart and now I don't know which adjuster wheel goes on which side. Does the one with right hand threads go on the right side? Is it that simple? :dontknow: Thanks, Ken

What kind of tie/clip is used to hold the cables from hitting the door glass? Anyone know where to get one? Thanks, Ken

I've read both here and on Moparts that some say the 2.45 geared 8 1/4 housing is different from the lower geared housing, and that you can't swap carriers and gears. And some say that you can. Has anyone actually put 3.21 or 3.55 gears and the correct carrier into a housing that originally...

I'm converting a 73 Duster from power disc to manual disc using a stock master cylinder. I've read that the manual brake cars need a reinforcement plate behind the master cylinder. Is this something I can make? Does anyone have a pic of one? Or maybe have an extra one lying around? :-)...

I'm going to look at a used MP disty for a SB. Is there an easy way to identify the "new" MP disty that has the adjustable mechanical advance? I've read that it has torx screws that hold the advance plate/weights. Can these be seen after removing the cap & rotor? Or do you ahve to remove the...

My daughter and I installed the rear windshield in her 73 Duster today. man, what a tough job. But, we got it in. :-) The problem is that the lock strip appears to be too long. It's the original lock strip, gasket and glass. I assume it stretched as we put it in. Do we need to...

Has anyone ever added power door locks to their Mopar? My daughter would like them in her 73 Duster if possible. Thanks, Ken

We're putting back together our 73 Duster. Both the dash and heater/ac assemblies were removed. Should we install the dash first, or the heater/ac first? Thanks, Ken

Does anyone know where I can get a new drain tube for the heater/AC assembly for a 73 Duster? It's got a 90* bend and sticks out the firewall into the engine compartment. Thanks, Ken

The interior on our duster is completely gutted and all glass is out. We've installed the headliner. We have a couple of question regarding the order to install some stuff. Should we put the rear window in before or after the package tray and side panels? Should we put the firewall...

Could someone possibly post a picture of the rear seat area of a Duster with the seat folded down? We're starting to put our 73 back together but it was in pieces when we got it and aren't sure what is what. And the factory service manual isn't much help. Thank you in advance, Ken

Those of you that have added Dynamat, Raammat, etc to your cars, do you still use the factory insulation on the inside of the firewall? Also, did you run the Dynamat between the heater box and the firewall, or go around it? Thanks, Ken

Anyone have any tips or steps to install the cardboard headliner in a 73 Duster? What do you install first to hold it in place? Are there any clips or anything that holds it up above the doors? All of the glass is out of the car. Thanks, Ken

Will this fit into a Duster 8 1/4 housing...

Does anyone make the front turn signal lenses for a 73 Duster? Thanks, Ken
