    Watching the TOP GUN movie.

    Thank you for your service. As far as the movie goes, I was very disappointed. Worse Tom Cruise movie ever. Corny throw back. Special effects were great but the story line sucked..

    340 muffler decision

    Took it out for a test drive today..It's a lot quieter than I expected.. Nice sound at idle without the "pinging".. Inside the compartment while driving was quite nice, no evidence of a drone. Upon hard acceleration I noticed more of a glass pak sounding "brapp", not sure how I feel about that...

    340 muffler decision

    Ordered a set of dynomax ultras today. I was looking if for a little more rumble and volume at idle, sitting in the driveway, slow roll into the local car shows and sitting at the stop lights in town.. My favorite thing to do is to grab a lawn chair and a beer and just sit and listen to the...

    340 muffler decision

    Perhaps we could start a "muffler of the month club".. Devise a common size and a method of attachment, with perhaps sliding band clamps so that you can swap mufflers in about 15 minutes. Get 6 sets of mufflers in the rotation and rotated every 30/60 days.. That way instead of piling up 3-4 sets...

    340 muffler decision

    This winters project is to replace the flowmasters on my car (70, 340 4 speed, stock manifolds, x pipe, 2.25 exhaust dia.).. The sound coming out of the tailpipes is awesome but while standing next to the car at idle I can hear the tin can pinging which drives me nuts. After 5 hours online (the...

    wheel color/paint

    I'm looking for some help.. I decided to go with 15 X 7 stock ralley on the rear of my 1970 Duster. My plan is to go with 255/60/15 to eliminate the current "grandma" appearance and to give the car the proper look and stance.. My new wheels that arrived today are darker shade of silver than...

    I thought that I'd bump this thread and perhaps save soemone else from a bunch of grief... It's winter and I'm sure there are some guy's out there working on their cars.. I just want to warn some poor unsupecting sole from making a mistake and trying to save $80 buying a piece of junk hays...

    Hays B&B piece of s---

    No groan, squeak, whisper or rattle out of the centerforce... I love this clutch compared to the hays... Should have went this way in the first place. Great pedal feel and easy to drive... Gave it the first real test yesterday.. Back country road and a beautiful smoky burnout all the way...

    trying to be safe

    Another nut bag here.... actually I think it's prudent.. I have one of the quick clamps on my battery, 5 seconds is all it takes.. Well worth the piece of mind versus a 100K in stuff going up in flames..

    No brake lights

    I just finished putting mine back together tonight, same problem (see help for an idot post). My issue turned out to be the jumper wire on the backside of the turn signal cam. I had to clean the terminal and bend the jumper wire with needle nose pliers so it made good contact with the terminals...

    help for an idiot

    Following your suggestions I started looking into the turn signal switch.. After looking poking and prodding I solved the problem,, Turns out there's a wire jumper on the backside of the turn signal cam that jumps 2 terminals for the brake lights. The wire looked to be like a paper clip in...

    help for an idiot

    I think that's it... Now I do recall the dome light wouldn't go out so I pulled the bulb... So if I disconnect the can, it should'nt effect anything. Looking at a wiring schematic off of the mymopar site I see the white wire from the brake pedal switch goes into the the "black hole" of the...

    help for an idiot

    Ok I admit I'm not the brightest bulb when it comes to electrical issues.. There's a "can" under the dash under the radio, near the ash tray.. It's a round can about the size of my thumb.. I have no clue what this is, or what it does.. It's got a 3 prong plug on it. The outside of the can fell...

    Hays B&B piece of s---

    Well I just got back from a 10 mile shake down run and I'm grinning ear to ear. It's amazing how good the clutch feels and how it shifts. I'm beginning to think the problem with the hays was from day one. After the 1 year rebuild (everything engine, trans etc.), the trans shifted hard, it was...

    Hays B&B piece of s---

    Well the Fed Ex guy dropped off my new centerforce clutch today.. After searching for my clutch alignment tool for over an hour I got the clutch bolted in tonight. I'll have to get some help to muscle the tranny back in.. With some luck I may get it on the road this weekend.... Thanks to all...

    Hays B&B piece of s---

    The clutch is out of warranty.... 3 days or 30 miles is all you get with hays... I plan on sending them the link to this forum. Hopefully other fabo members won't buy their stuff...I took it real easy on the clutch as the whole drive tran, motor, trans. etc was new/rebuilt.. It's a faulty...

    Hays B&B piece of s---

    Ok I spent 5 hours tearing out the Hays street/strip clutch that was in my car for less than 400 miles..... Remove the exhaust, starter, drop the 1400 lb trans on my finger (it slipped off the jack), it wasn't a good day.. I was having a problem getting a proper clutch adjustment and after...

    Newbie here...can't get clutch to disengage...

    Thanks for the effort... I'm having the exact same issue with the same clutch setup... It's gotta be the fulcrum arms on the Hayes pressure plate requiring more travel as I didn't have any issue with my old diaphragm clutch setup.... I'll adjust my Z bar and hopefully it'll fix my problem as...

    Windshield replacement

    Yep!!!!! It's much easier and cheaper to "type" and get the information and experience you need versus the "old school way" of trial and error... Besides there nothing much on TV anyway so I'd rather "cruise" the site...

    Windshield replacement

    Thanks guys... So I need the seal and the "locking bead".. I'll get those items ordered and have someone (glass doctor, henderson etc) do the removal and installation. I like my fingers "intact".. Bedsides I rather sit on the sidelines and drink a beer while I watch someone who know's what...

    Windshield replacement

    I'm looking for advise on replacing the windshield on my 70 Duster.. I'm going to have a "professional" do it but I want to purchase whatever parts I need before hand. I have a OEM windshield and I plan on getting a new gasket ($90 from year one).. One question I have is that the year one...
