    Metric hardware in brake parts (rant)

    Is anyone else sick and tired of having metric hardware put into the brake parts that are available? I can only find wheel cylinders with 7mm (headed and threaded) bleeder screws. Others that I find online generally don't list what the thread is. I just got stainless front hoses from Dr. Diff...

    Is this Demon just junk or am I just junk at dealing with it?

    I have a 650 Speed Demon. It used to be the primary carburetor for my car, and after getting tired of screwing with it, I changed it out. Since I've been getting some quarantine projects done I decided I'd try and get this thing reset to factory and see if I can at least make it a...

    Fuel Pump Eccentric Delete

    Quick, stupid question from someone new to an electric fuel pump. I have the timing cover off my 340 to replace the gaskets, and I just put an electric fuel pump on the car, eliminating the mechanical pump. At this point, I no longer need the fuel pump eccentric and would like to remove it. I...

    Steering Shaft Overall Length

    Long story short, while putting the flanged bearing in the column and persuading the steering shaft through said bearing, I broke the shear pins, so the shaft collapsed. I need to know what the correct OAL is for a power steering shaft for a 73 Duster. I saw a measurement of 36 3/8" somewhere...

    Steering Column Reassembly - Gutted?

    Finally got the nerve to tackle removing the shifter tube from my steering column and while I have it torn down waiting to be painted and reassembled, I was wondering if there are any components in there that I can leave out. The car is wired as a race car, so it has no turn signals, hazards...

    Carburetor Idle Transition Slots

    After getting to the bottom of the last issue, I yanked the carb off so I could reset it and go from there to make sure the idle is dead right next time. When trying to set the idle transition slots to the .020", the primary went just fine. However, I can have the secondary curb idle screw...

    [WANTED] 73 Duster Glove Box Door Hinge and Latch

    Hi all! I'm in need of a hinge for the glove box door and the latch that bolts to the dash for it to catch on. Doesn't have to be pretty, just functional. It will all get painted before it goes on the car anyway, and if the glove box ever opens, it will be an accident. Looking to spend about...

    [FOR SALE] 73 Dart Front Bumper/Cut Brackets

    Recently found that this doesn't fit my Duster (see my last thread :oops:)...been sitting here a while and I just repainted it a couple days ago to put it on my car, then found out that it's wrong.

    73 Bumper Fitment

    Can someone please tell me what the heck I'm missing here? Trying to mount the bumper to my 73, with 73 brackets, and a 73 bumper, it is sticking out about 4" too far, and refuses to get tight against the body. I attached a couple of pictures to show where it is sitting, and they are terrible...

    Durability of Redline Dash Panel

    So I ordered a Redline Gauge Works dash blank for the Duster, and it arrived today. I was somewhat disappointed when I picked it up and felt its thickness, or lack thereof. My question is that with its lack of reinforcement, will it actually be able to hold up to repeated drag strip launches...

    Pros/Cons of Hughes 3000 Stall Converter

    Ok, so I need a new converter, one to get the car on the track and last a year at least (hopefully more since the car isn't all that fast), but I need a looser converter than what I have now. I was looking at the Hughes 3000 stall and was wondering what experiences, good or bad, people have...

    Got a New Tow Vehicle last night...

    Just like the title says, last night I went out and bought a 2005 Dodge Dakota ST with a 4.7L V8 and 5 speed automatic. This truck runs very smooth, rides great, and still leaves 2 black strips of rubber wherever I want it to. After having it for one day and about 100 miles, I can say its...

    Car takes ALOT to move it...

    Ok...so today I had the car running and decided to see if it would move under its own power. So I backed it out of its spot in the driveway and onto the street, where I placed it down into 1st gear on the 727. I let off the brake, but the only way to get the car to move at all is to give it...
