Hi Brad
Do you know where this Duster come from?
It seems to be an export car. There is an "I" on the fender tag for International.
My Demon, made in Hamtramck, and exported to Belgium in 1971, also has this "I" on the fender tag.
U = United States
C = Canada
I = International (rest of the...
I got some help from a friend here, and following his advice, I upgrade my clutch to 10"
I wasn't sure that my bellhousing and flywheel would accept it, but this friend has a '71 Barracuda with the same 198ci than mine and he has a 10" OD clutch.
I ordered this one from Rockauto :

Hello Dave
"L" is for Dart, and "J" for Challenger.
And it's not an Europe made car. It has been assembled in Hamtramck, Michigan.
I also think that the 9 1/4" will fit... I saw that Rockauto has this kind of disc for sale.
Thanks all.
François
Yes, it's logical :). But an optional 9 1/2" disc is mentioned in the FSM for the 198ci.
So, I suppose that it's impossible to determine the disc diameter without removing the transmission... :rolleyes:
Hi guys
I would like to order a new clutch disc and I would like to know its diameter before removing the gearbox.
FSM tells 9 1/4 (standard) and 9 1/2 (optional) disc diameter for slant-6 and A230 transmission.
How can I know the correct one for my transmission?
:thankyou:
To build a model of my Demon, I will mix two kits :
The 71 Duster
And the 71 Demon
The Demon for the upper body and the round chrome mirrors (the Duster has Rallye mirrors).
The Duster for the interior and the underneath (really better made and more realistic) and for the standard steering...
Yes, I did.
The classical model kit glue doesn't work on this plastic. It's better working with cyanolit.
I will repaint the transmission with a lighter metallic grey.
Hi
I want to build a 1/25 model of my Demon, but problem : it's a slant-six and model makers rarely offer 6 cylinders engines.
I found a solution on Ebay :

The seller is located in Slovenia, but he is...
Do these mid-80's electric locks fit our 70/71's trunks?
I know one for sale, but not sure I can install it....
EDIT : Thanks to FABO, I found the answer :
Found source for electric trunk release for $40
These electric locks (part #4054962) are compatible with all A/B/E-bodies...
Interesting to have a former employee of Chrysler Corporation among our members.
Did you work at Hamtramck factory?
In relation with the thread subject, my broadcast sheet say 821 for the trans (line 4 "codes"). It's an A230 3-speed floor shift gearbox behind a slant-6
According to the Chrysler chart, 2998945 is a radiator part number for 1970 Dart/Valiant, 22", 318 w/o AC or 340 w/ AC.
As said above, 18398 is probably the manufacturer code.
In 1971, this code is 20446. At least, it’s the code of my 71 radiator.
Why not going for a remanufactured carb? Rockauto sells the Autoline C6018 carb which is a remanufactured Carter Ball&Ball (which is well better than the Holley 1920)
I have one of these Autoline carbs on my Demon and the car works like a charm.
This stud is badly twisted, and seems incorrect
The Chrysler stud has a semi-hemispherical head with a squared base. The squared base prevent the stud to turn while screwing the wing nut.
In 1994, I was travelling for holidays in USA and I visited R&R Salvage in Aurora, Missouri.
I was looking for parts for my 1970 Barracuda I owned then.
Here are two pics I took of E-bodies row
It's for an A-body (rearward shifter location) and has a yoke type extension housing.
If it doesn't have an identification pad on the pass.side, I think that it's a '66 or '67 A833.
Probably the same than mine :
Can you ID this Mopar gearbox?
I didn't know nothing about gearboxes and what I...
Hi Troy
Why do you bother about the area painted in blue? It's hidden when the lenses are installed onto the car rear panel. Just paint them gloss black including the lens edges...
François
Hi all
I plan to install an 833 gearbox into my '71 /6 Demon.
By now, the car still has its original 3-speed 230.
The 230 cross member on car is in a very good shape, but the extra 833 cross member I have, needs a total restauration.
The question is : are A-bodies 230 and 833 cross members...
On my '71 Demon w/standard bezel, I disconnect the speedo cable by leveraging with a flat screwdriver = the cable is simply clipsed into the bezel.
Reinstalling it can be painful as there's no room for the fingers and it's a little bit tricky to reach the connector.
The gearshift linkage has been reinstalled.
Instead of original clips, I used more modern "R" shaped clips.
The five gears engage easily (the reverse one with a sound "clac"... is it normal?) and the lockout lever works well.
