    1970 Duster won’t stop.

    When I step on the pedal it is hard as a rock. Start the car and nothing changes. I would think if a caliper or wheel cylinder was stuck there would still be pedal movement. There is vacuum at the booster. It’s like the piston is frozen in the master. I just want to know the best route to start...

    1970 Duster no brakes

    I have a 70 duster that I bought that has been sitting for about 2 years I bought from the original owner. It was originally drum car and he put factory discs on it years ago. The booster looks 2 years new and the master looks like it was replaced at the same time. Anyhow when you start the car...

    1970 Duster won’t stop.

    My car had been sitting a year or 2 before I bought it. The previous owner said he never had an issue with them. I got the car running last week and went to back out of the garage. It took all I could do to get it to stop. Here are the details. Some might matter some might not. 4 speed car and...

    Need Advice on '65 Barracuda Brakes...

    When you replace these lines, remove your old line and press the pedal down once. It should go down to the floor. This will tell you if your issue is further upstream. Good luck with your project.

    70 Duster wiper motor disconnect.

    The original owner told me he had issues with the wiper coming on by itself. I just got it running and it acts like it is on intermitten. Runs about every 30-40 seconds. Can I disconnect one of the wires on the resistor above it to disable until I have time to chase it. Live in Florida and it...

    1970 Duster Starter Wire Wiring - Does it Matter?

    I’m depressed. Wired the car like 67dart said to. Hooked up the battery to see if it would at least crank. It turned over. This car has not been started in years. Had already picked up 2 cans of starting fluid anticipating a battle. First shot it coughed. The second shot, the crazy thing started...

    1970 Duster Starter Wire Wiring - Does it Matter?

    So after about 2 hours on my back, trying to get my big hands around the exhaust, steering, the headers, and the starter trying to wire it how I wanted to I just started laughing and thought if 67Dart273 was standing there watching he would just yell “Dumbass” non stop. All this struggling when...

    1970 Duster Starter Wire Wiring - Does it Matter?

    Dart67 thanks for your wealth of info. After your post I went and checked and the square terminal wire goes to the starter as it should. Also my car is. 70 340 4 speed car. Just one basic question. Can I leave my heavy gauge wire run to the starter, run a new wire from the starter to the lug on...

    1970 Duster Starter Wire Wiring - Does it Matter?

    And yes my wiring is a mess. Wish I had a Mopar expert for an hour. It had dealer installed cruise control, dealer installed under dash ac with the controller on the drivers side of the dash just above the e brake lever so I don’t want to go wild cutting non original wires. The original wires...

    1970 Duster Starter Wire Wiring - Does it Matter?

    Ok let’s start with the middle picture. Ignore the 2 red wires pointing up to the right. If you look at the grommet you see one wire comes through it and turns down and it attaches to the bolt lug on the relay. On that same lug the other red wire come up and into a piece of hose that wraps...

    1970 Duster Starter Wire Wiring - Does it Matter?

    This is how it’s wired but on mine it looks like the battery relay field wire is on the same lug as the starter relay wire but maybe not.

    1970 Duster Starter Wire Wiring - Does it Matter?

    I will try to get a decent picture tonight if the relay. Let’s say that everything on the relay is wired correctly. If I remember correctly the wiring should run from the battery to the relay and another wire on the same lug goes to the starter. Is this correct? I like having the battery in the...

    1970 Duster Starter Wire Wiring - Does it Matter?

    The original owner mounted the battery in the trunk and ran a 2AWG wire straight to the starter. Then he ran a wire from the top push on lug on the starter to the relay and piggy backs on the same lug back to the battery. Why he did this wire I don’t know but I can understand why he wanted to...

    1970 Duster starter wire question.

    That’s exactly what I needed to know. Power goes straight to the starter on this car. I guess I need to get the right relay and go from there. If I put power to the small connector on the starter it will crank over with the key. I was really surprised it cranked. What color wire going to the...

    1970 Duster starter wire question.

    The 2 red wires at the top of the picture, one goes through the firewall and one is inside a piece of rubber hose going to the starter. This is also where the previous owner routed 2AWG wires through that grommet running to the trunk mounted battery. The red wire going through the firewall, if I...

    1970 Duster starter wire question.

    So I plugged a non original wire onto the slide on connector pictured between the 2 big lugs. The wire runs up to the relay. There is another owner applied red wire that I have to run to the + on the battery for the car to power up. How is this relay suppose to get power properly? What color...

    1970 Duster starter wire question.

    So my 1970 D uster has a few wiring issues to figure out. If I hook up my battery I have no power to anything. The previous owner has a red wire that runs to the starter that goes on the slide on connector on top between the 2 big lugs. If you hook that wire to the + side of the battery the car...

    70 Duster. 2 wire questions

    Quick question, large blue wire coming out of the steering column under the dash. Where does it go? 2nd question on the starter, there should be the large lead from battery and one or more wires? If so what colors are those wires. And one last question. Did they use modern style square plastic...

    So here is a 2 day haul. This was only wiring from the dash to the rear. Found cigarette lighter plug hookups under each seat and one hanging down under the dash on the passenger side. Now I just have to figure the best way to get into the dash area, can’t see all the connections from below. I...
