    Trans shift points?

    Thanks guys. And yes, I'm only looking to adjust the part throttle shifts. It does great on WOT.

    Trans shift points?

    Thanks for the info. As of right now my trans lever is matched to my throttle....all the way up at idle and all the way back at WOT. So I need to take slack out at the adjuster but to raise the shift point, or add more slack?

    Trans shift points?

    Wondering if there’s a way to adjust my shift points.... I’ve got a 74 Duster I dropped in a 340 and a new 727...aftermarket everything. Running a lokar lockdown and a quickfuel carb. Car runs and drives great, but shifts early and I wish it would kick down a little quicker. Was wondering if...

    Which ss spring to use?

    Hey guys, on my 74 duster I have moved the springs in 3'' and have 275 60 15. When I launch hard and theres a passenger in the car(yes, its a street toy) my passenger side will squat enough at launch to rub the tire on the inside of the fender. These are old springs and feel like they are wore...

    Spring relocation question

    Hey guys, I need help. I've put the 3'' spring relocation kit on my 74 duster and ss springs. Everything went fine until I set it back on the ground. The rear shackles are angled to the rear so much that the top of the spring is actually sitting on the frame. Are the springs too long, or is...

    Armrests

    Already have. I've cleaned and painted them 4 times now with different vinyl paint. Sem and Eastwood. Just doesn't stay on the high traffic areas. It'll look good for a couple of weeks, then start coming off. Really thinking of having them recovered now, but I never hear of anyone that's had...

    Armrests

    Restoring my 74 duster....I know nobody makes the armrests new. Just wondering if anyone has had their old ones recovered? If so, how did they turn out?

    Need advice on ammeter.

    Big red and black wires are direct to the battery. Small red is tied into the 12v switched wire that fed the coil before I added the 6al. Only 2 wires I have on the coil are the orange and black from the 6al. Original ballast wires are wired together.

    Need advice on ammeter.

    Hey guys, my knowledge on electrical is somewhat limited, so I need a little advice here. Working on my 74 small block Duster, which is far from factory. I've switched to an msd pro billet dist and blaster coil. Been running this set up since last fall with no issues at all. This past weekend I...

    Vacuum lines?

    Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out how to get my car air to switch vents...defrost to floor, etc. I'm new to all this heat and a/c stuff, so excuse the learning curve. Anyway, in my 74 duster I swapped out the /6 with a 340, and pretty much everything under the hood was removed. The A/C...

    Rear tires after moving springs

    Love how that black duster looks. I'm not too big on cars sitting real low...like the big tire, tall stance. I've bought 275s now, but I will measure to see if I can fit 325s and might go with that next time.

    front backspacing

    Thanks for the info! I've never really been up on how to figure wheels and tires, but that makes sense the way you guys explained. And yes, the 6" rim, according to summit, is within the recommended size for the 225/60/15s. It is the minimum size recommended, but should work. Now I can order...

    front backspacing

    I've got 245/60r14s on now, which seems to be the same diameter, but 1" wider than a 225/60r15. So just curious if the backspacing would still be off with the narrower tires. Also, I can get the wheels I'm wanting in a 15x6, which should work with the 225/60r15s, but they too have the same 3.75...

    front backspacing

    Hey guys, sorry if this has been discussed already...didn't find it if it has. Trying to see if my front wheels will fit before I buy them. 74 duster, lbp w/discs. Currently have factory 14' rallys with 245/60r14s. Wanting to go to a 225/60r15. The wheels Im wanting are 15x7 and only available...

    Rear tires after moving springs

    Hey guys, I know there's a lot of posts about tire size, but haven't found any talking about tire size after moving the springs. Sorry if I missed it. Anyway, just wondering what the max tire size I can fit on the rear now. It's a 74 duster, A-body 8.75, rear springs moved in 3'' on each side...

    Low oil pressure

    Wow, seems like I opened up a can of worms here, lol. I love this forum because everyone is always eager to help the fellow mopar nut. Really good views on this, but let me clear up a few things. This 340 was built for the track, so I think saying it was built with looser tolerances is probably...

    fuel gauge

    I had to replace my entire fuel system on my 74 duster...tank, lines, sending unit, etc. Now my fuel gauge always says full. Stuck there and never moves. I do have sending unit ground strap on the fuel line as well. Anyone have any idea what could be the problem? Maybe a bad sending unit? Also...

    Low oil pressure

    Running royal purple 10w30 and a fram filter. Will be changing to a different brand filter on first oil change. Never knew how bad the frams were. Only recently started using the frams, but not too impressed with them.

    Low oil pressure

    Its a mechanical gauge. Not a high end gauge, but I swapped it out for another one I had in the shop and it read the same. So I'm guessing the gauge is right. Bearing clearances being a little loose is a possibility. Engine did see the track quiet a bit before I got it.

    Low oil pressure

    Need some help...trying to figure out whats wrong. I recently bought a 340 and I've got low oil pressure. As I said, I bought this one, did not build it. The engine had been in a guys duster. He pulled the engine and sold the car, and was in the middle of putting it in a truck when he had to...

    As the title says...I've got the front bench seat out of a 1974 Plymouth Duster. It's the bench that has the fold down armrest. White vinyl...foam is in good shape, but hole in the vinyl on the seat part of the drivers side. Sliders work great. $50. Located in southeast Missouri. Very good...

    High gears?

    Ok, that makes much more sense. I never knew you needed to keep one wheel on the ground with an open case! Good info guys, thanks. I will do that as soon as I get a chance this weekend.

    High gears?

    Hey guys, this is not really an A body question, but figured maybe some of you mopar gurus might have some insight. My non A body car, a 68 charger, has a 8.75 rear. I recently started going through the car to see exactly what I had. Jacked up the rear and turned the wheels and it's definitely...

    Power steering pump?

    Ok, thanks. I thought I'd read somewhere that the /6 k members would cause clearance issues.
