What would be the edge limit for HP/TQ using the stock axles in the 8 3/4" rear? Currently I have a 489 case (West Coast Diff.) with only @ 3500 miles on it if memory serves me right it has the 1 7/8 pinion which they highly recommended. SS springs, otherwise the housing is the original unit...

I guess more to satisfy my curiosity than anything. Have had some interesting conversations at car shows this year and I often get asked questions about production #'s, be it high impact colors, the rear deck spoiler, transmission/engine combinations etc.. --BTW, it's been ages since I've been...

Hey MoPar Clown went looking for ya in the pits a couple times. We did get to see you bust into the 12's with the 'Cuda (12.77 @107) but that was the only run I managed to see. HUMID!

Just wanted to throw this out there, I know its not an A body part but its a MOPAR. Looking for either repop or NOS sill plates (not used) for my fathers 69 Sport Fury. I'm finding a few parts dealers advertise they have them, and upon placing an order they never did to begin with. I have a...

I know, I know another tire size question. :) Are 255 60 15's available from anyone in a DOT drag radial?? I'm just thinking about picking up an extra set of wheels to mount some DOT's on just for visits to the track. I have BFG's T/A radials that same size mounted on 15x7 sbp rallyes now...

Closer its getting to Carlisle the more I want to bring my Duster with me. I trailered twice with my brothers 5.4L truck years past but now his car is done so he trailers it down instead. I only have a 4.0L Ranger/auto trans and the combined weight of trailer and car would be well over 5,000...

I'm on my second set of clear plastic ferrules advertised to fit the 67-72 A bodys. Are the stainless ferrules for the "73-76 A body" the same diameter as the cheapo clear plastic repops, or do they not fit. If the clear plastic ones only cost a buck or two, I wouldnt care but damn $15.00...

For the TTI 2 1/2" exhaust to replace the dynomax that came with the kit. Obviously need the offset muffler, which the Borla does not force the spent gasses to swirl around the muffler like Dynomax. Has anyone swapped out the Dynomax for Borla's in their TTI exhaust, and if so what case size...

This shouldnt be tricky but need to figure out what combination will fit for my '70 Duster. Details: Stock original hood, nothing weird going on with the motor mounts, 340 block, intake is Edelbrock Performer RPM which is definitely taller than the factory 340 intake, Edlebrock Thunder carb...

I'm set for this year, just gonna enjoy the added performance of the TTI headers....... but I'm planning ahead already for the next step. as is now : Fresh 372" balanced stroker motor. Less than 5,000 mi. since rebuild. Using 308 heads, valves upgraded to the 2.02's. Currently no porting...

Well they killed our best Saturday night cruise-in with the Marcus Dairy closure (guess Danbury could use one more F'n grocery store) Besides the tiny Sycamore in Bethel, what else is there in western Ct? I've been to the BBQ joint off Rte 111 in Trumbull with Hemi Pete, its kinda small but...

Was beginning to believe I would never live long enough to see the day I finally purchased and installed them. Was using the original equipment '68-'70 manifolds on my stroked smallblock since spring '08. Ran them through brand new 2 1/2" tti exhaust system & dynomax. I knew those manifolds...

Just completed a few items over the winter, had the gauge cluster out and replaced the circuit boards (rallye dash) and added the LED lights. The LEDS work nicely by the way. Had to wait for a new fuel gauge voltage limiter (solid state) which was the holdup. (BTW positive we hooked up...

Im on the tail end of a few small winter projects with the 70 Duster. Pulled the rallye gauge cluster out to replace the circuit boards. Reason was a few issues with dash lights: left turn indicator worked on occasion- E brake light worked on occasion-Hi beam indicator never worked-had a few...

Well 1st time for me with the Duster on the dragstrip. Had a great experience, last time I really dragraced was back in the mid 1980's. I'll have plenty of questions for the experienced A body racers. I planned to do 3 runs (had an 88 mile drive BOTH directions) so didnt want to push my...

For the racers, what rules apply for helmets? Im assuming the helmet I use while riding the m/c is probably not up to track rules?? Its a DOT, 1/2 helmet. Do you need full face?? Thanks

Looking into adding PB booster to the Duster. have front disc, rear drum SBP setup. My concerns were bolt pattern to firewall. Checking out Geroge R's '69 Dart last night, his booster uses same BP as my master. I'll need PB rod as well to convert from manual. So far I was able to...

Need tech advice from those "who have installed these on A body" . Last time I installed headers was on E BODY, with LOTS of room. Will be installing the ceramic coated TTI's on my '70 Duster. Car has the 727 TF trans., and original 340 engine. No sheetmetal mods-all original body. (Already...

Im thinking about possibly looking into something like an '05 Ram 1500 4x4 Reg. cab pickup. I own a nice '05 Ranger XLT thats worth a boatload of $$ but I wouldnt dream of towing the Duster with it to the Nats or Carlisle . Whatever opinions or suggestions or experiences you have I'll take...

I would have kept the originals had I known.. Just need the caliper clips off a junk pair of calipers for the '70-'71 SBP Kelsey Hayes A body front disc brakes. The newer style they use on the reman. calipers like to go "click-click" down the road after a few times hard on the brakes. F'n...

This is an old issue not resolved.. (gauge works, sender unit Ok, good ground from sender to chassis) Real quick the problem is the fuel gauge works just fine until the motor is started. Then I LOSE power TO the back of the fuel gauge. Its a '70 rallye dash, fuel, oil press and temp off same...

Before you spend your hard earned money with one of the soul-less vendors out there or spend $400.00 for used seat belts on Ebag consider this guy. On Ebag someone always needs the parts more than I do so I just give up. I came across this website-the guy is a MoPar enthusiast and a real...

Barring any unforseen events I'll be driving the Duster upstate for this Sunday. I would gladly take it down the strip if my converter was not so mismatched. So I'll have to settle on the car show and spectating the drags instead. Hope to see some A body MoPar muscle in attendance.. Theres...

Ughh, my buddy Gregg's '70 Chally. A car he sold 20 years ago and found again last summer..Undergone a Complete restoration, fresh motor thats making 502hp at the crank. Car has been back on the road for just a few short weeks again. A few details: factory style 26" rad., Block was bored...

This must be a rarity. Has anyone ever been unfortunate enough to purchase a new muffler(s) that had an internal problem causing a substantial drop in performance? Im about to consider borrowing a pair of mufflers just to eliminate one component from the short list of what is ailing. I...

Like this topic hasnt been brought up before, LOL. Specifically, has anyone tried using them( factory manifolds) on a hi perf stroked smallblock street/strip application making between 400-500 hp. In your opinion-based on EXPERIENCE- do you feel it significantly hurt you with a solid "in the...
