What wires need to go to the “B” and “E” slot? They are labeled “Ammeter” on my wiring diagram, but my Kwikwire wiring harness does not have a wire labeled “Ammeter” so I left the slots empty for now. Also, I wasn’t sure what to put in the “K” slot because it was labeled brake light ground on my...

Does anyone know how to repair my trunk lock? There is a piece missing, but I don't know what piece. It has always worked properly, but I think someone tried getting in the trunk and they broke it. Thank you! It's a 1976 Plymouth Feather Duster

I accidentally broke 5 of these metal pieces while unplugging the instrument panel from the dash. I tried to solder them, but it did not work .

The wiring harness manual says the Front Parking Lights (#27) and Right/Left Turn Signals (#25 #26) go to the same bulb, but my previous bulb has 3 wires and the new harness shows only two wires. Which wires do I splice the new wires to?

I broke part of this plastic piece. Does anyone know what it’s called, so I can order a new one? I think it is a button that is pushed whenever you turn the key over. It has two red wires attached to it.

This wire isn’t repairable because it’s so close to that rubber piece. Where can I find a replacement fusible link like this one? The two coming out of the same side are only less than a foot long, but the single wire side is about 2 ft long. I can take more pictures if that would help.

I am trying to fix the wiring in my 76 Plymouth Duster. Some people have recommended downloading the service manual from Mymopar.com, but the service manual for Plymouth Valiant stops at 72. Does anyone know where I can find the manual online? The wiring is apparently different from previous...

I'm still having a hard time finding the correct engine to headlight wiring harness. Yearone sent me photos of the bulkhead connectors from the 73 & 74 wiring harness that they sell. In comparison to my old bulkhead connectors, neither of them had the same wires in the same spots. I have never...

Can anyone send me a photo of their 72 or 73 duster bulkhead connector? M&H said a 72 or 73 wiring harness would probably work for my 76, but I wanna see if I can narrow it down to a 72 or 73. Thanks.

I just got my yearone wiring harness in the mail and it looked like it would all fit, but my car has 3 bulkhead connector slots on the firewall and the harness I ordered only had 2. 1966-74 A B E-Body Engine Forward Light Harness 1974 A Body V8 Built After October 12 That was the latest model...

1966-74 A B E-Body Engine Forward Light Harness 1973 318 I am considering buying this wiring harness that, according to a salesman at yearone, will replace all the wiring under the hood and the headlights. It’s $250. What do you guys think? I’ve never bought a wiring harness before and I know...

My duster isn’t starting now for some reason. There’s some pretty shotty wiring under the hood that I plan on replacing in the near future, but for right now there’s one wire that I figured out is causing a problem. It says “fusible link” on the wire and it’s two bare wires that are wrapped...

The only way I have been cranking the duster is to run one wire from the positive terminal of the battery to the neutral safety switch, where the starter wire connects. I touch these two wires together to crank it, but for some reason it wouldn’t crank today. I checked all the wires and couldn’t...

I installed a new set of cork valve cover gaskets recently and oil residue is visible all around both valve covers, but it isn’t dripping oil out. Are cork gaskets just crap? Should I have put some type of sealant under the gaskets?

I currently have a bigger ignition coil: Advance Auto Parts - Down for Maintenance I’ve seen most people with the smaller ones, like this: https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/msd-ignition-blaster-2-coil-8202/17350171-P?navigationPath=L1*14923%7CL2*15034%7CL3*16064 Which do you guys think is...

The two pipes that go through the firewall and into the engine bay do not fit into the grove underneath the dash. One of the pipes is bent in such a way that it is impossible to work. I’ve already broken the pipe once trying to bend it in place and I had to take it to a radiator shop to get it...

It has a hose hooked up to it, but it’s not connected to anything. It hasn’t been hooked to anything since I got the car. The photo isn’t of my duster, but the circled box is the same and it’s in the same spot.

I just noticed today that coolant fluid is leaking from under the dash of my duster. It’s right beneath the radio, above the floorboard. There’s a black square box that liquid is coming out of. I can see it dripping out of the box from the driver seat. I don’t even have to bend down. It drips...

In the last couple of weeks my 76 340 Plymouth Duster has been severely lacking in power once I get to 3rd gear. I guess there is something preventing enough gas into the carburetor, but I am not sure what it is. Everything is brand new from the fuel tank all the way to the carb, but the carb...

I always assumed that I needed to buy a mirror for the passenger side because it was missing, but yesterday I realized there weren’t any holes or anything where a mirror would have previously been mounted. Are a lot of older cars lacking passenger side mirrors? Is there a reason they only have...

I just went from 235/70-15s to 255/70-15s on the rear and they are really close to the body now. It’s about half an inch from touching. Do you guys think it will be okay?

My 76 Plymouth Duster has a 340 and a different transmission in it than stock. It is a four speed transmission, but I’ve read on here that you can usually fix the speedometer problem by changing the speedometer cable, but would I need a different cable than what my car would need stock? If so...

This is a photo of the driver side of my 76 Plymouth Duster. It’s where the battery usually is. I’ve been trying to get the car to crank using the key, but I can’t seem to find the problem. These are the only wires I have not fixed on the car because I didn’t think they would affect the...

This is what my fuse box looks like in my 76 Plymouth Duster 340. There are two missing, but it looks like none of them are blown. Should I put the other two fuses in? What do you guys think about the rust on the fuse box? Is it a big problem or okay for now?

I drove my 76 Plymouth Duster for the first time yesterday and the foot pedals, especially the gas pedal, were much harder to press down than newer vehicles that I am used to driving. My older friend said “that’s just the way older cars are.” Is that an accurate statement or is there anything I...

There’s two wires between the ballister resistor and the starter relay that have been twisted together and I don’t know what they are for or why they we’re done this way. The photos are old, but these two wires are still like this. The others have been fixed. Any clue?

I have replaced the fuel tank, sending unit, fuel lines, hoses, and the fuel pump, but fuel still isn’t going to the carburetor. Any suggestions?

I’ve been working on my 340 Plymouth Duster for almost a year and I’m pretty sure the only thing stopping me from cranking it is the starter. I will be removing the old one and installing the new one tomorrow and I’m wondering how long it will take and how difficult it will be. I’ve never...

I am missing the coolant reservoir for my 76 Duster and I’ve seen a ton of different coolant reservoirs and set ups on different cars. This is my first engine build, so I’m confused about what hooks up to the coolant reservoir. Does a hose just connect the radiator to the coolant reservoir? What...

The front passenger panel is the only part of the car that is not painted. I would like to paint it to match the rest, but I can’t find the color anywhere. Every website I’ve looked at won’t work because the VIN # is only 13 digits instead of 17.
