    What a great conversation I had yesterday

    Brought my car to a show yesterday and although I would not consider my car a show car, but it is cool and appealing to many. I always do a head count on A bodies and there weren't many. There was a 72 Demon 340 at the show and on the show entry paper showing the car number and owners name it...

Not sure if it came with it or not but it was a...

    Everything was going so good

    My car (70 Duster 340) has been pretty dependable for a while now but now I'm having issues. Car fires right up after sitting for a week or two. Take the car out for a drive and everything is great. When I park is when the issues start. The other night I went to a local cruise and was there for...

    Could've been worse

    Decided to take my car ro work on Friday and I literally was a 1/2 mile away from my house and a turkey the size of an ostrich, well maybe not that big but it was the biggest wild turkey I have ever seen, ran out of some bushes on the side of the road. I had no time to react and braced for...

    I hate electrical

    My car has been running great for while but the last time I drove it I got it home and left it outside. After dinner I decided to wash the windows inside and out.

He was at his car every time I went by it and I did get to talk to him briefly. He is the same exact guy I watch on youtube faithfully. I didn't...

    Well now what?

    A little history. Replaced cam, lifters and push-rods about 100 miles ago. Broke in by running engine at 2200 for about 20 minutes initially. Have played with timing and valve preload a few times and it has run crappy and great in that time. Motor now has very noisy lifters and at idle does...

    Where do I start?

    After my cam, lifters and pushrods got replaced in my 340 I fired up the car and it seemed it was running good....Not great. Drove the car for a few miles without any issues. I have heard a lot about valve adjustment and preload being a 1/4 to 3/4 turn after 0 lash. I initially did 3/4 of a...

    Probably about time-rocker adjustment

    I'm almost embarrassed to say but I've had my car for about 5 years and I have never felt the need to adjust the rockers. It has adjustable rockers for some reason....Not sure if it has a solid lifter setup. The rockers look to be from maybe a 273 with adjustable rockers. The car runs good but...

    Picking the right clutch for my Duster

    Getting my winter project started and will be replacing my clutch and doing some transmission work. I have been doing some research on a clutch and I'm undecided so far. Do all diaphragm type pressure plates require removal of the clutch spring at the pedal assembly? Car is a 70 Duster 340...
