I am selling my 1974 Plymouth Duster. 318/904 power steering, power brakes with disc in front. Factory A/C car. I have the parts that go with the car but the compressor is locked up. I have owned this car since 2006. Runs very well. Has 139,000 miles. I have always kept it garaged. Tons of work...

I am looking to see if there is any interest in my 1974 Plymouth Duster 318. I have had this car for over 9 years. I purchased it as my first car in 2006 when I was 18. Tons of parts/money has been put into it during this time. Most work was performed by my father and I. I simply do not drive...

Had my Dusters steering box replaced the other day. Feels much better than before, no play or slop. Only issue is when turning the steering wheel wont return back to its original position at all. When turning left it moves very slow back, but when turning right it dosnt move. I went to an empty...

Are there any serious long term effects with unleaded gas? I'm not too worried with my Duster since the engine is rebuilt but the 383 in my 65 300 is original. A couple times this summer I have used bottles of lead additive in the gas. Never had any issues but several years from now will things...

I have a question regarding the steering on my '74 Duster. Its very loose/numb. It dosnt really have much play in it though. In 2007 the idler, pitman, ball joints were replaced as well as an alignment. Also tightened the top bolt on the steering box to remove some play. That helped a bit. The...

I have an A1 cardone steering box for my Duster. Have had it for a few years still in the box. My Duster is a '74 318, stock manifolds power steering, power disk brakes. Lately my steering has been feeling numb. The car currently has the original box. It leaks a little but more than anything...

Has anyone here ever been to the big Mecum classic car auction in Indy? http://mecum.com/auctions/auction_detail.cfm?AUCTION_ID=SC0511 It's towards the end of May. I'm thinking about going, just wanted some feedback to see if its worth the 2 hour drive. Figured someone here has been to...

Anyone here a fan of Chryslers LH cars? What are your thoughts if you have owned one? I am looking into a 2002 Chrysler 300m special. Just trying to get as many opinions as possible. I have researched quite a bit online but it's the personal opinions and experience that count the most. Figured...

My Duster is currently in hibernation mode for the winter. But I decided to fire it up this afternoon and let it run for a few minutes. Once I got it going just a few seconds later I heard a loud noise. Not like a squeal though. Sort of hard to explain. I had my hand on the steering wheel and...

I will be throwing the car cover on the Duster soon. Starting to get to cold to drive it. My biggest concern is mice. I didn't have any problems last winter but I do remember seeing a couple running around. Whats the best way to prevent them from getting in the car? I have read sticking rags up...

I have been thinking about ways to lower my '60 foot time in my Duster. I was considering headers but have been thinking maybe a bigger improvment would be a custom converter from Ultimate or PTC. I searched the forums and Ultimate seems to have a lot of feedback. Would this be something...

I was talking to a buddy of mine about my 318. I had it rebuilt a few years ago. All the machine work was done by a very well known engine builder who spends more time building mopar engines than anything else. Its just what he prefers and I have regarded him as a very knowledgable guy when it...

Whats a realistic horespower gain for my Duster if I switched to headers? here are my specs. 74 Duster with matching 318 and 904. Both been rebuilt. 318 is 9:1 with a 340 cam and valve springs. edelbrock performer intake and 600cfm carb. Heads are basically stock except for a valve job...

Met with a few friends over the weekend at the local track. Took my duster down and made a four passes. 16.2 @ 86mph was my best. I was hoping for 15's but oh well. The car just dosn't launch good but seems to pull good once moving. Sorry not many pictures of actual racing. Overall it was a fun day.

This question is regarding my 65 Chrysler 300. I will soon be doing an oil change. The engine is a 383 with 92,000 original miles. I don't beleive its ever been rebuilt. Do I need to worry about using oil with zinc or is any conventional oil okay being the cam has long been broken in? I plan on...

I am wanting to have a vinyl top installed for my Duster. Has anyone used legendary interiors vinyl top? I checked out the website and I am assuming the 3/4 top is the canopy style, is this correct? Also what is the difference with the "seamless" tops? The prices are both $128. There are no...

Today I drove home this 1965 Chrysler 300. It was about a 2 1/2 hour trip. Car rides great. So far I'm very happy with it. After searching for about six months I finally found one. Past owner says its a 413. I'll have to look at the numbers just to make sure. I'll also search for the build...

I have been meaning to check my trans fluid. Is there a way to determine the fluid level while the engine/trans is cold? everything is always scolding hot once I get back from a drive. I know it should be in neutral but I was thinking there would be a way to determine the level when sitting cold...

This is new to me. I drove my Duster to the local cruise in which is about 10 miles of highway driving. Everything was fine as always on the way but had a big issue on the way home. When I got on the on-ramp I punched it and it took off great. I had it to about 75mph or so then let off the gas...

For anyone who lives in Ohio I think this is a very important issue that could hurt our hobby. The bill HB 191 is close to becoming a state law. Please see the link: http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/analysis.cfm?ID=128_HB_191&hf=analyses128/h0191-i-128.htm Bascially the democrats are...

My Duster leaks a small amount of antifreeze. I drove it last night and it had been sitting for one week. When I pulled it out I viewed what had leaked it was a milky substance. If I look beneath the car after a couple days of sitting I can see the green drops on the floor obviously being...

I had an instance today after while I was out cruising around. Close to my house there is a large 4-way intersection. There was little traffic so I decided to have some fun. When I made the left turn I mashed the throttle. Lots of tire squealing and the roar of the exhaust it was great. I have...

I'll probably be getting a new battery this week for my Duster. I have been having issues where at random it will not start and needs a jump. The current one is just over three years old and its an exide. Can't remember the cranking amps. I was going to get something else other than an exide...

has anyone ever ehard of this classic car dealership? Does it have a good reputation? http://www.countryclassiccars.com/cars/spcars/spcars_206.htm I have been looking for one of these c-bodys and found this. Looks to be in good shape. But $4,000 is my budget max, wonder if they would come...

What are the symtoms of a bad neutral safety switch, or one thats on its way out? As far as I know the one on My Duster may even be the original part. I keep having random starting issues where when I turn the key I get a clattering sound like theres barely a connection. The battery is fairly...

I have been looking for another old Mopar. I posted a thread on a real nice '65 Coronet 4-door for sale but it sold. I still really like the '65 Chryslers. I found this 300 two-door hardtop about an hours drive. I e-mailed the seller and he sent me some more pics and info...

I found this on craiglist. Its not far from me, I was thinking about looking at it. Looks pretty clean. Even says the a/c works. http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/cto/1664946737.html Does anyone here or know someone who has this model? How reliable are the 318 poly engines? I know nothing...

I think something is wrong with my transmission. It's the original 904 but with around 10,000 miles since it was rebuilt. This only happens when its been sitting for a while. I would say at least a week without moving. Yesterday for example I went to drive it. When I shifted into reverse The car...

Anyone here familiar with Daytonas? Specifically a 1990 model with the base 2.2 turbo/5-speed. I found this Daytona on craigslist. http://dayton.craigslist.org/cto/1465397674.html I have been communicating with the owner through e-mail. Needs a few small things but other than that sounds...
