    [WANTED] Duster quarter glass Mylar mount strips

    I need the part that attaches the front of the Duster pop-out quarter glass to the pillar. (Often sold as an early A/B body "door glass channel run.") Poster "dadsbee" mentioned an older Mylar piece that was bad for its intended use on the back of A/B-body vent windows, but works perfectly on...

    Duster quarter window "hinge"

    I need the Mylar "hinge" assembly that Duster quarter windows open and close on, mine are fairly shot. (And by "fairly," I mean "completely.") I have found exactly one source: DMT, available only as part of a complete quarter window kit, which I do not need. Does anyone sell these separately? I...

    Just Mopar vs Steele Rubber

    My Duster needs quarter and door window gaskets. Is Steele worth the price premium over JM?

    Tuff wheel question

    I thought I had a Tuff wheel...but now I'm confused. Is this factory, or is this a mishmash of parts? Spokes attach at the back of the rim, rim feels rubberized.

    Coldmaster AC

    Anyone have any experience with this company? They're in Florida and claim 30 years in business...and the parts seem little different from the $2500+ kits. Anyone done business with Coldmaster? A/C for antique cars | Coldmaster | USA

    Hi beam switch

    I think I broke it. Fortunately, ebay has plenty. Any of the replacement switches good, or bad?

    Fan dimensions

    Ok, this is a weird one. 73 Duster, originally 318/3-speed, no AC. Currently has what looks like a factory shroud, but with a cheezy fixed fan. OE fan is gone. Anyone know what diameter I need? The PN would be awesome-guy locally has several, but...well, Chrysler used A LOT of different fans. I...

    Replacement wiper switch?

    73 Duster, 2-speed wipers with foot-pump washer, switch seems to be going bad. Does ANYONE make a direct replacement? I have found a couple of "universal" switches, but was hoping for a direct swap.

    Dyno tuning

    360 with an AVS, running OK but desperately needs a fine-tune. Anyone in the area who can do dyno tuning on a carb'd Duster?

    Donut spare

    Planning to make my Duster a daily driver...currently has a 14" wheel and a very old 185/75 tire. I'm considering grabbing a Jeep donut as a spare (T125/90D16, from base-model XJ Cherokees, about 25"). Anyone done this? I see absolutely no reason this will not work.

    Used gears, safe storage

    Planning a set of used 2.71 gears for my Duster. Can't get them installed until spring. So...how to best store them? Thin oil coating? Grease? Sealed museum vault with zero moisture and 100% nitrogen atmosphere? :poke:

    Tall gears and 4-speeds

    Car is a 73 Duster, mild Magnum 360, 833 trans with V8 gears, I think 26" tires. (225/60R15) Currently has 8.25" with 3.55 gears, and...yeah, that's getting old. Does anyone have actual EXPERIENCE with a 4 speed and 2.76 axle gears in a ~3300lb car? How does it drive?

    Octane requirements

    I just bought a Duster. (Insert happy dance here.) It seems to be a stock Magnum long-block with a Holley QF carb on an RPM Air Gap intake, headers, Hughes cam kit with 1418ALN-10 cam and roller rockers, about 9:1 compression, iron Magnum heads. Considering this, will this run on 89 octane? Or...

    Duster quarter window seal

    So...yeah. The glass isn't touching the top gasket. That's bad. What do I need to do to fix that?!

    [Found!] Duster front belts

    Near as I can tell, someone installed a set of rear belts in my Duster, so I only have lap belts. :wtf: So, I am looking for OEM front belts-retractor and sash-preferably in black. Shipping would be to RI, if it's too far to pick up.

    Shoulder belts

    Looking at a 73 Duster...it has only lap belts. There is no indication there were ever shoulder belts. I thought A bodies got them long before 73. What am I missing?

    Putting A/C in a formerly-A/C car

    Title says most of it...late (74-6) Duster, factory A/C car, pretty much everything except the under-dash unit is gone. In a perfect world, I would prefer the factory system...but I know that hunting down everything needed would be very difficult, probably expensive, and take forever. But...will...

    Anybody near Milwaukee?

    So...I'm interested in buying a Duster. It's about 20 minutes outside Milwaukee. I have no reasonable way to get there, but don't want to spend a pile of cash sight unseen on a 50 year old car. So...anyone in the area want to make a few bucks checking it out with a camera?

    J heads, compression, and today's crappy gas

    The title pretty much is the question: how much squeeze can I run without needing race gas or Avgas? I'm considering a car on eBay, but the engine is a 10:1 360 with J heads done by Indy cylinder head. They have 2.02 / 1.60 valves and 5 angle valve job, ported, polished gasket matched and bowl...

    I did something stupid

    Bought a car 3000 miles away. Transportation is a catastrophe, looking like twice the original cost, 15 days and counting, nothing but excuses and BS from the company. Gone from anticipation to dread. Seriously considering writing ot off, telling the guy to keep the car, and giving up.
