You are the winner, SirDan! Two different lengths it is. I was sweating this big for a second. I need to remember to take EVERYTHING out of the box BEFORE I start putting things together :oops:

I tried that last night and it would seat just fine. It is difinitely the bushing holding me back.

Hey all. I'm putting the suspension back on my '72 Duster and I've run into an issue and need some advice. I've got stock lower control arms with new pivot shaft bushings and new bumpstops on them. I'm using the Mancini strut rods and Moog strut rod bushings (#K7040). I got the passenger...

Thanks for the help on this James. That page will also come in handy! Also, I did go ahead and get the Moog part, K7040. I talked to Mancini and they said that part number would work with their strut rods. I'm not trying to knock anything that PST does (I'm using their kit on everything else...

So it sounds like I need to get a set of good Moog bushings...so I guess I have a new question. Like I mentioned above, because there are two different strut rod designs (Pre '73 fine thread and '73&up coarse thread), there are two different Moog bushings (K7068 for the '73&up and K7040 for the...

So you just push/hammer it in from the front of the K member, taper pointed out the back towards the control arms? Sounds easy enough.

There were no instructions with the kit. I got it from PST. Also, does it matter that I have the Mancini Racing strut rods? They're not the adjustable kind but they are a slightly different design that the factory originals. Don't have a pic of them right now. Can maybe get one tomorrow...

I am rebuilding the suspension on my '72 Duster and have a question about the strut rod bushing. The bushing I received in my kit is not like the bushing I pulled out of the car (see picture for the new bushing). I have a few questions about this bushing: 1. Is this the right bushing? 2. What...

Sweet. PM me and we'll talk cost

You think you could ship something that big?

After talking with my guy and seeing my car for the first time in about three weeks, I'm actually going to need more than just that cross-member piece. I'm actually going to need the entire piece of sheet metal where it starts sloping up and over the rear end (right after the tranny tunnel, part...

Thought so, just wanted to make sure. Maybe. I'm taking these pictures in with me so he can specifically tell me what I need.

I've been talking to some other people and I think I've figured out what I'm gonna need... I'm going to confirm this, though...

Awesome. I didn't realize it was you Rob. I'm talking to my chassis guy tomorrow. I'll see what he says.

The way he made it sound, he needs the entire big piece like what crackedback is showing is his reply and he would trim off of it what he needs. The rear floorboards are still in tact, minus needing some minor patches here and there. So maybe just the cross-member? He's already out of the shop...

It's been a while since I've been on here but I need some help. I bought my '72 Duster a couple of years ago and the car needed some major work. The guy I bought it from tried to back half it by cutting out rear frame rails and failed...bad. I've finally got some money together and found some...

Looking for an entire 8 3/4 rear end housing with axles already cut for for an A-body or just the housing for any body style car. A-body housing preferred since I won't have to cut the axle tubes down for that. I'm located in Louisville, KY Thanks for the help guys.

I had thought about going with a 440Source stroker too...I need to sit down and look at the cost vs. what I'll gain of both rotating assemblies side by side. Longgone: Thanks for the link to those articles...I'd read them a while back but had forgotten how good they were. Dusterdon: Thanks...

I was thinkin the same thing when I tore it down. The cylinders were filled with oil when I took the heads off but that turned out to be a good thing.

here's some pics

Once again, thanks guys. I'll see what my machinist says about the intake manifold.

That's what I was hoping to hear. I know the closed chamber 915 casting is a better head for higher compression but for my mild build, I figured I could make the 906s work. Thanks for the help. I'm sure it's not the last question I'll have about this build. I'll keep you updated.

Lots of good info...Thanks alot. I'm going to be talking to my machinist this week and probably taking the block and heads in early next week. I've already got it torn down and the only things I'm reusing are the block and heads so everything's still up in the air. This is my first build so...

I've got a 383 with the 906 heads going into my '72 Duster and I'm trying to get as much compression as I can out of it without using domed pistons. First question I have is this: I've heard you can 'zero' the deck relative to the pistons to up compression. can someone clarify? Also, does...

I've got a 1970 383 I'm rebuilding for my '72 Duster. I've gotten everything off the engine except the pistons, rods, and the crank. I'll probably be taking it to my machinist this week. I plan on getting a .060" overbore to squeeze a little more displacement out of the engine. I did have a...

I voted other...B5 Blue ftw. Pretty sure I'm goin for that color on my Duster.

Not sure on the rear end off the top of my head...the car is in a garage at home but I'm taking summer classes for college right now so I can only get to the car on weekends. I'll have to get back to you on that one. As far as the front goes, it has 15" wheels on it now but as I mentioned...

Haven't been on here and a while but I'm finally getting some time to play around with the Duster so let the questions begin. First thing I'd like to do is find a wheel/tire package for my '72 Duster. I'm planning on putting a 383 in the car but that will come later. I've found some wheels I...

Looks really nice. I'm probably going to get one of those for my Duster. Very Sharp Demon btw...love that black.

Actually just one county over in Breckinridge Co. My Brother lives in Hodgenville. You've got a pretty sweet Duster yourself there.
