    Clutch Adjustment

    Hi folks, I got a new clutch into my Duster a couple weeks ago, then got some parts to rebuild the linkage this week. Everything went back together well, but the clutch started to catch about 5" off the floor. It used to pick up almost immediately off the floor. I tried to adjust the...

    TTI v. Accurate

    Ok, so I just got these pics of the Accurate system.

    TTI v. Accurate

    They came off a 1970 Dart 340. Shouldn't that be the same? My Duster is a 71.

    TTI v. Accurate

    So as it happens I didn't get a picture because the Accurate pipes were about 15 feet up on a wall, and it didn't occur to me to take one in the moment. For a description, they look an awful lot like @matthon's picture above. But these have additional dumps that come out the side of the car...

    TTI v. Accurate

    Hi folks, I met a new friend last weekend that also enjoys the old A bodies. As it turns out, he has an Accurate 2.5" H-pipe exhaust system and 340 manifolds that he would be willing to sell for my 318 Duster. Originally I was planning to buy the TTI package from headers to tailpipes. The...

    Hi, I'm looking for a 489 or 742 case for the 8 3/4 rear, with sure grip/posi, and 3.91 (or close) gears. This is for a 1971 Plymouth Duster, small bolt pattern. Thanks.

    [Found!] 8 3/4 Shock Mounts

    Hi, I'm looking for shock mounts for the 8 3/4 rear end. I'm hoping to avoid the after market stuff, so if you have originals with clean threads, I'd be interested. Many thanks!

    [Found!] Gas Cap for a 71 Duster

    Ah, very clever. Thanks for this! I've got a couple of the late model caps that I can practice on and hopefully make at least one work.

    [Found!] Gas Cap for a 71 Duster

    What kind of massaging did you do, and which style cap did you massage? I've got examples on both sides (pre and post 71), but the mechanisms look stamped to the cap, so I'm having difficulty imagining removing or modifying them. I was able to get the cap I wanted, but since I've got the others...

    Gas Cap Question-71 Duster

    Is that a direct replacement?

    [Found!] Gas Cap for a 71 Duster

    Title says it all. I'm looking for a gas cap for the 71 Duster, as I've got caps from 70 and before, and 72 and up (the ones I don't need). Let me know if you have one or more you're willing to part with. Thanks.

    Gas Cap Question-71 Duster

    Yeah, lovely. I've got caps on both sides of what I need. Many thanks!

    Gas Cap Question-71 Duster

    Hi all, I've got a small problem with my gas cap that I'm hoping to crowd source an answer for. I remember back in the 80's my dad removed the stock gas cap on the Duster and put on a locking gas cap, for obvious reasons as we didn't have a garage. Now I'm old enough to have my own garage and...

    Pertronix - yes another one...

    When you removed the BR, what did you do with the wires that went to the BR originally? I'm just curious as I would kind of like to clean up my engine compartment a bit.

    Need input from the brain trust; fuel or ignition redux

    Folks, thanks so much for your input. Especially the extensive input from 67Dart273 and the personal tutorial from AJ/FormS. Turned out to be points/condenser (takes a little bit to get parts to the island). She's firing now, holding RPM, and revving more or less as she should. I haven't had...

    Need input from the brain trust; fuel or ignition redux

    And per 67Dart273, I've got a couple condensers on order from Amazon. It might be a few days before I can get to the bottom of this.

    Need input from the brain trust; fuel or ignition redux

    No, I can't confirm this is ignition.

    Need input from the brain trust; fuel or ignition redux

    No...and I'm not sure even where what/component would have lost spark. I'm down to points and condenser left before I move over to fuel. Everything else on the ignition is brand new.

    Need input from the brain trust; fuel or ignition redux

    See, in this moment, points are not easy Not quite sure what you mean. I did the fuel tank and line replacement as part of the upgrade to 3/8" and a new sending unit (and did a brake job and put the -002 and -003 springs at the same time). After she stopped working, I started replacing ignition...

    Need input from the brain trust; fuel or ignition redux

    Also, what's giving me concern about just upgrading to the electronic distributor now is that the ECU has two extra wires. The black one is self explanatory (- terminal on the coil), but the blue wire needs to hook to the ignition run side of the ballast resistor. Am I safe to assume that's...
