    A/C and Duster Engine Swaps

    Just an academic question here, but can the factory A/C be used as-is (except for brackets which I assume would need changed) when swapping the /6 in a '73 Duster to a B or RB engine? Howsbout a small block? Thanks!

    EOIC vs. "The Chart"....

    Nice evening to run the valves. I do them dead cold, then a quick verify when they're hot and have always done it EOIC.. but I thought, "ya know what? Let's try the old MP chart and see how the two methods match up"... They didn't. At least for me. My cam is a 282/251@.050/.555/112 solid FT, not...

    Spotted at a local junkyard today. Are people still needing these or should they stay at the junkyard?

    First plug change.

    I have put 362 miles on my newly-built 505", so I pulled the plugs for an autopsy and replacement. These are NGK BKR5E, been in since initial fire-up and the subsequent driving. Moving the timing and tune around some, working through the carb it's an older speed demon 850 mechanical-secondary...

    Oil pressure question...I promise it's not another "who likes what' thread!

    Just got my 440/505" on the road. Broke the cam in with Comp 15w-50, changed oil & filter after cam run-in, refilled with the same grade oil, and put a few hundred miles on it. I wanted to get some new oil in it, so I went one step thinner and dumped in some 10w-40. Hot pressures with the 15w-50...

    EFI and External Fuel Regulators

    So, just browsing info on the different ways to set up EFI on these old dogs and I see that some are internally regulated (Sniper) and some aren't (Sniper Stealth). Is there any reason not to mount the regulator at the rear, in order to avoid taking the return line all the way to the front? I'm...

    Engine/machine shop in or near Central Cal?

    HI guys, can anyone recommend a mopar-knowledgeable engine builder around the Fresno area, or anywhere within 100-ish miles of Fresno? I know there's some good ones farther away in SoCal and way up around Sac, but first choice is to find one closer to home (Clovis). A 2 or 3 hour drive one-way...

    Where did you and your car go today?

    There's a thread like this going over on B-bods...I thought 'why not here, too? It's cool to see our old dawgs getting some road time, and who doesn't like Mopar pics, right? Had some business downtown today and it wasn't 100° yet... (I haven't had an 'A' since 2005 cut me some slack jack!)
