    76 Duster Overheating at idle

    I will make sure to get a high flow thermostat. Also, The pulley for crankshaft and water pump look to be about the same size from the photos I have. I got the pulleys from a 318 I parted out so I assume that they are correct.

    76 Duster Overheating at idle

    Also the thermostat is from oreillys but I think I have another from classic industries laying around.

    76 Duster Overheating at idle

    I’m not sure of the actual temp when running, I’ve been going off of the original gauges which I got fixed. It might not be completely accurate but if I had to guess it runs around 200. I’ll get a heat gun and post some numbers. The fan is a standard small block clutch fan, sits maybe 3 inches...

    76 Duster Overheating at idle

    I have some questions I was hoping I could get help with. I have a 1976 Plymouth duster. Original slant six car now with a 340/904. I have a 22inch aluminum radiator in the car (only one that fits with original mounting points) but it seems to get hot a little too quickly at idle. I took the car...

    led dome lights

    awesome swinger it looks gorgeous! With my car, i was thinking about just replacing the headlights, and all running lights/ backups and brakes with LEDs. when you installed the two flasher units, did you put them in place of the signal flasher and e flasher, or what did you do?

    led dome lights

    so then where did you place these flashers for your car? was it just one for the front then another for the back, or are there like 4 of them one for each corner if that makes sense. also, did you have to do anything extra with the side markers? also the bulbs i bought today are grote 1157...

    led dome lights

    so i was unable to find an led version of the 1004 at my local auto parts store, but i did find the 1157 leds which are the turn signals. i but them in and they dont turn on until the lights are on. but then they dont blink and stay fully lit. i've heard this can be a common problem but is there...

    led dome lights

    so with this design in 76, is there as much strain on the headlights when in use as in previous years? i was thinking about using the crackedback headlight relay kit, but if it is not necessary, i could just convert to LED headlights using an adapter instead which would draw less electricity...

    led dome lights

    they aren't the same. i bought the wrong one which is the issue.

    led dome lights

    not at all. i went to the autoparts store and bought it because it was cheap and looks identical pretty much identical to the regular 1004.

    led dome lights

    now i know these pictures are supposed to be simple, i just don't understand them though lol. I can send some photos of my engine bay if this helps the situation at all.

    led dome lights

    everything is all stock and untouched. i did a v8 swap, but all of the wiring is all the same. the only changes i made was adding a tachometer and oil pressure gauge. i appreciate the info, i will definitely take a look, and the beauty of also having a 75 duster is i can compare the two...

    led dome lights

    did you use these for your car? also how easy is the install on the brake lights? i've never actually looked at brake lights or taken them out. the turn signals are easy.

    led dome lights

    it it looks identical to the 1004. the contacts on the bottom are just bigger. it fits in the dome light fine, it just constantly stays on unlike the regular 1004 bulb.

    led dome lights

    thats why i was hoping to switch to LEDs in the dome light and headlights eventually. honestly if it causes issues or is too difficult i will probably just leave it alone. I am just hoping to find a few easy ways to help out the electrical system in my car. honestly it might be that i just...

    led dome lights

    hey everyone so i tried looking this up but was unable to come up with anything. so my dome light currently works great but i was hoping to get something a little bit brighter. so i then got an led bulb. when i plug it in it wont turn off, even with the doors shut unlike with the normal bulb. is...

    some Duster gauges not working?

    So do you guys have any recommendations on what I should do? i don't really know much about electrical stuff, but I would like to at least get my fuel and temp gauges working for obvious reasons. I do have one question that i don't really know what this might affect but happened when i was...

    some Duster gauges not working?

    after driving the car today for the first time this year, alternator gauge is out as well. does that mean it is still most likely the IVR? still not sure if the lights on the gauges work or if those are out as well. speedometer works fine though to confirm. radio seems to be out, not sure if...

    some Duster gauges not working?

    Hey everyone so I am having a problem with my 1976 Plymouth duster. I just swapped in a 340 from original slant six and am having issues with the temperatures and fuel gauges not working. speedometer works fine, horn and all other lights work and i dont have any blown fuses. i don't recall if...

    OEM Hubcaps

    i I think the problem would be that it wouldn't fit the rim the same as with a 14 and look wrong. it would honestly be a great opportunity for someone to make some serious money if they could figure it out. one of my first upgrades was moving up to 15 inch rims with my car.

    OEM Hubcaps

    Hey everyone I had a question regarding the OEM hubcaps on Plymouth Dusters. These are the ones that went on the regular steel wheel. does anyone know if they are remanufactured for 15 inch wheels or only 14s? I'm wondering because i think it would be a neat look but i have 15 inch wheels on my...

    heater core leak?

    there is probably an option for either A/c or non A/c. regardless if you have the A/c hooked up or not, you need to get the A/c if that heater box and A/c box is in the car for it to fit right is what i have learned from everyone on here. thats what i did with my duster that originally came with...

    heater core leak?
