    replacement seats for Valiant

    Hi folks, I have a nice 4-dr Valiant, 1975. Does anyone know what seats I could pull from what later model car at a salvage yard that would easily fit this car, to replace the front seats only, with more modern bucket seats?

    Another 75hp please

    Hi folks, My '72 Duster has a 1992 MP 360/300hp Commando (pre-Magnum series for you younger members) crate engine; B/G 625 cfm RD carb, TTI long tubes and K&N filter. It's a 4spd 833 with 3.23 8.75" rear. I like the car and as it is a street car (NOT a DD though) it's pretty much fast enough...

    What street tires do folks recomend?

    Just a friendly hello and a question about tires. I'm open to suggestions as to good all season high performance (non-drag) radials. I've been to Tirerack and I am attempting to narrow down the offerings. Looking at BF Traction T/As and Continental ContiExtremeContact for starters.

    Squeaking out of the rear pipes - yipes!

    Car: '72 Duster. Engine: 360 crate. Exhaust system: TTIs, Flowmasters, new pipes from headers to mufflers (all new from engine back to mufflers, and pipes behind mufflers older but in like new shape). This is odd. Since getting the car's exhaust changed the car is squeaking. It's not a...

    8 3/4 axle lube change

    My axle lube is at the proper level, but it's been in there for I have no idea how long, and one thing troubles me some - the last time I went to check the level, cold, when I took the plug out it was under a very slight amount of pressure, and I felt a wee bit of air escape from it. So I...

    What is with the new DC corp?

    They trash talk their own herritage. If it is not a Hemi it's no good. They have folks playing at being dopes driving a beat up Duster, and drooling over a Hemi-truck. I drove one of those behemouths BTW and it's no faster than an equiv Chevy P-UP - they are both dump trucks that our A-bodies...

    Rear Wheel bearings - what type?

    Hi folk, My 8.75 is growling at me and if I find out the rear wheel bearings need replacement I will need to decide what to replace them with. I currently have the sealed Green ball bearings - only 1->2 K miles on them actually. I've heard some say they are not recommended for street use...
