Not a guru by any stretch, but have you considered moving the electric fuel pump to the back of the car? The electric pumps are made for pushing fuel, not pulling it. Just a suggestion.

It's not entirely their decision. The government has put so much pressure on the auto industry to switch to electric vehicles, by making the CAFE numbers almost impossible to reach with internal combustion engines, o they had to go electric or die. There's a lot to not like about...

This has been an interesting post and responses read. I'm not the genius tech guy as those who have responded to your OP, just a 70 year old guy that has hot rodding in my blood. It doesn't matter that you have a blue oval car, it's an era car and those of us who are like minded can appreciate...

Thanks for the info. It seems to me that NHRA set the cubic inchlimit at 355, and I know the 340 went away after the 73? model year. Seemed a bit underhanded to me at the time since Chevy had the 350 and Ford running the 351,but the MOPAR camps had the 360. I'm just old (70) but I've always...

Thanks for that. I think that period of time, I was busy trying to make a living to support a family, plus didn't have access to those events, no cable TV where I lived. What engine was in the Arrow?

Yep, forgot about him. I don't know if he was very successful or not, and I know Don Carlton was testing a small block colt and die in a test run crash at Bristol. I happened to be working a construction job in Bristol the day that happened. Broke my heart to hear about it.

I know some things are different now as compared to when this article was written, specifically, WJ is retired from racing. I'm reasonably sure a lot of the engine specs are the same, but there are some changes. No drag engine is an off the shelf engine. So much testing are modifications are...

Obviously they aren't available in any vehicle that can be purchased at a dealership, I'm just saying that it's the best racing engine if it's allowed to work in it's peak torque range. I hate watching a Chevy racing another Chevy for the Pro Stock class. Everyone already knows it's gonna be a...

Back when Allen Johnson and a few others were running pro stock, they were running hemi's, and their torque range is higher than the chevy engines, so setting the torque limit at 10,000 rpms took away the advantage the hemi has above 10,000. At least as I understand it.

I've always loved watching drag races, but when you're a MOPAR guy, it's no fun watching the bowties racing each other. Pro Stock has always been my favorite category, so, as I said, I don't get any satisfaction watching Chevy against Chevy, or maybe a Ford or 2. If NHRA would quit bowing down...

I used to try to watch the NHRA events when they were broadcast on Sunday's finals. NHRA, NASCAR, both did everything they could to keep MOPARS from being competitive with the bowtie cars. Don't watch anymore.

Mattwood has bought the car. Just came to change the status to sold.

Thanks for letting me know.

his screen name is badlilred79. When I posted that earlier, I hadn't heard back from him after leaving a voicemail on his phone. He eventually did call me around 4:00pm. He bought a car but if I understood correctly, he just bought it to resale. I told if someone else wants to buy the Duster, I...

If you want it, give me a shout. First guy backed out.

Don't think he's going to. I called the number he gave me and it went to voice mail. I asked him to call if he no longer wanted the car. Crickets.

I'm trying to be fair about this. I said in a way earlier post that I would go by the order in which the poster responded. First poster got first shot, then it would go to the second, then third, until someone buys it. I don't have a favorite on here, although being a fellow Vol tugs at my heart...

It looks like the guy backed out and you were 2nd in line. If you're still interested, holler back at me.

I called his number and it went to voicemail, so I left him a message that if he was no longer interested, please let me know. Haven't heard back from him yet, so I'm gonna go mow my yard now, and check back at around 5:00 which was the time frame he gave me. I f he doesn't call or show up, next...

After searching a little more, I found the conversation with him that I was looking for. It has his phone number in it, so I'm gonna ring him up around noon. If he has backed out, I'll update my post.

Post 19 didn't give me any information. I did go look at the conversation we had on Friday. Funny thing, it doesn't show the conversation we had about Post number 19 didn't have any context, just a link to dan the man, which didn't help. Could you send me a screen shot of the message? One thing...

Like I said, I haven't heard from him about not being interested any more. I'm going to pull up his link and see if I can find anything. If it's true, it would have been nice ofhim to contact me and let me know. He has my phone number.

I haven't heard from him today, but the last message I got from him was to say he will be here tomorrow between 2 and 5.

So as to avoid confusion or hard feelings, I will give those interested in the Duster starting with the first response, second response, Down the line in order of response. Trying to be as fair as I can, so please understand.

Yep, but before you make that 2 hour drive, I didn't title the car until this past Monday, the 17th. If you want to come look and want the car, I will send the title to you when it comes in. I'll even call you and let you know it's coming so you can be looking for it.

A little additional information; as stated in the original post, I bought the car in January of 2020. The car was kept in the garage during the first 2 years, then after we moved in in August of 2022, I kept a tarp over it. I didn't title it until Monday, the 17th. Title should be here in about...

I went out and tried to look, but car has factory exhaust manifolds, so I can't see the pad. Been raining here the last couple of days and I really don't want to lay down under the car.

ToolmanMike says it was an original black car by the TX9 code.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

I'll try to get a better picture, the hose runs right over the left top corner of the tag, and the code there is not very clear.
