May I offer a suggestion. The battery/resistor comments are likeliest options. Since you have the MSD coil, for about $200 more via Amazon you can upgrade the whole mess and get an MSD box. It will throw as many volts and amps as the ignition will ever need and it will do so flawlessly. As I...

I'm glad to here you liked them. Mine are non coated. It was a combination of weird circumstances, they've had the inventory, minus drop down flanges for a week. I asked them last Thursday to ship them separate, but the order went out some time today, Finally! Nothing happens fast enough...

Has anyone had any dealings with this company, Schumacher Creative Services 2025 NE 123rd St Seattle, WA 98125? My order is moving along very slowly, parts came in last week, still haven't been shipped. Secondly, are these headers all they are cracked up to be? My choice is because they are...

Thanks, I know they weren't HEI originally. They have something inlace similar to a Mallory system, but it is still running through the ballast which is totally weird as HEI's eliminate that. Thanks very much on the distributor source as I have been trying to find one like this. The carb is...

Thanks, I know HEI is better I just can't grasp the Chrysler method still utilizing the fail point of the ballast resistor. It is going to take me a while to study your information and retrace what wiring the previous owner has in the car now. It is all encased. They do have a Chrysler...

Has anyone had success installing the GM style HEI distributor that doesn't require coil or resistor panel. The distributor would have to be long enough to get past the valve cover. I don't understand why the Chrysler ignition system requires all the extra resistors and coil or boxes. Are...

Thanks, I am sure I will find plenty that will fix this in that suspension, just gotta start somewhere. Waiting to hear from K Dog as well.

I need to rebuild my 1973 440 Duster front suspension and replace the front tires. I just bought the car so I can only speak for what I can see on the car. The current tires are 205/60/R15, and are badly worn on the outside edges, down to the steel belts. The rear tires are 255/60/15...

Does anyone have experience with lowering the front end, with 15" rims? I am wondering about tire size.

So whichever one is right about negative or positive camber, how would you adjust the torsion bars, more or less torsion?

My thoughts are similar. The torsion bars are being used in some fashion to affect body height, making the camber very positive while the car is on the ground.

In the first photo, the car is on the ground, no jack. You can see the camber offset pretty clearly just from that side picture.

I have just the right shop for this work they specialize in classics and the owner who is 80 still manages the shop with his son. I need to put tires on this beast to move it. The outer edges are on steel belts and most shops want to do alignment after tires are purchased. Doesn't sound like...

Negative camber with front end raised

Here is a photo of the rim style

Hello all, A 73 Duster I just acquired with 440 engine has excessive positive camber with wheels on the ground. Probably in the range of 1 1/2". As you can imagine, the tires have no tread left on the outside edges. With the front end off the ground, the wheels move to about the same amount...

I wanted to see it as well. Remember, the past owner is 75 years old and is going on memory back 20 yrs. My guess is dual 4 barrel, or ..... he can't remember.

Thanks, will do

I think the summary on this is that the 484/284 cam is not a low RPM power cam, especially with the E-brock Performer intake and 750 carb. Since it is a street only car, no strip racing a stall converter doesn't seem worthwhile. Also, lots of you will hate this, ,but I want to put a 2.96 gear...

Life's a ***** when an old iron block 440 doesn't impress as much as the new aluminum plants do. God I am not looking forward to driverless battery cars!

Thanks to all, keep the info coming. YY1, I think you hit it. Former owner wanted this to be more tame, ,no burn outs etc. Almost a trailer queen. That status is soon to be changed. I also get what dang is saying, as all these pieces have to match. Sometimes, don't fix what ain't broken...

Thanks Kern Dog. The truth only hurts if you're not looking for it. Right now we are running about a 3.55 gear. I agree fully regarding headers, and I am suspicious of this intake just by looking at the profile. The car runs good and seems to take off well, but it doesn't have the feel of a...

Guys I recently acquired an A body Duster with 440. Previous owner just gave me the cam #'s. The engine ha a very recent rebuild, with compression ratio around 9:1. There is an Edelbrock, Performer manifold and #1411, 750cfm carburetor. Cam numbers he gave me are 284/.484 lift. It is...

I'll look up 2.94, but most sources stop at 3.23 for new parts. Probably less demand as most muscle cars want race style ratios. Might need to find used old Imperial or something or buy from someone here who isn't using it.

Their inventory stops at 3.23 for 8-3/4 rear end.

Thanks, Dr. diff is that correct?

Thanks.

Thanks, Can anyone help me with where to purchase 2.96 ring and pinion for my #489, 8-3/4 rear end?

Where can I buy ring and pinion for my 8-3/4, 489 sure grip in 2.96 ratio?
