Purchased brand new tubular upper A arms for my Duster from a reputable company and one is welded incorrectly to where the bushings do not align with each other by a noticeable amount. A half inch rod thru bushing one hits bushing two 3/4” off the center of the hole. Called the company and...

I searched the forum first, can not find an opinion on this. Under the hood I have been using Duplicolor Matte Black caliper paint left over from calipers and $15 can so thought sure, engine accessory brackets this will work. It lays down nice and even and has a nice flat to satin look, then I...

So this is a quick question about cooling fan theory. The car is 1972 Duster with 340 and purple camshaft, probably around 350 horsepower with a factory 22” radiator (not sure how many cores). I have zero issues with cooling, as I have been driving it everywhere and long runs on 90 degree...

Ordered an electric vacuum pump kit to install on my 1972 Duster with power disc brakes (1973 style setup). The vacuum pump wants a 20 amp circuit, switched source, where should I pull that power from? I know the blue wire that goes to the alternator/electric choke/ballast resistor is switched...

Sort of a unique question… but working on my 1972 Duster passenger door latch as it’s not locking correctly. I finally decided it’s a bad latch, so I start looking up to replace it, when I read 1969-1970 is a latch design, then 1971-later is another latch design… not interchangeable rod hook...

I broke a tab off this clip that slides into the metal headliner trim molding and snaps to the pinch weld above the door glass. There are 4 clips total and mine were all good until I broke one trying to straighten it today… it’s spring steel so I’m not trying that again but I also can not find...

Does the brown wire from the starter relay ground terminal to the transmission neutral start switch center lug on a 1972 Duster have an additional ground wire spliced into it that goes to the chassis? Reading the wiring diagram that is what it shows, old harness had that provision but it was...

This will be strange but I need a single dash mounting bolt, as one was broken… managed to save the clip but can not source that bolt new. Need the bolt within a week since windshield goes in in a week. Thanks in advance.

Have a 1971 automatic column shift column in my 1972 Duster. Converting it to a console shift column and bought the manual collar set for 1971 up, being Classic Industries MP14054. Also bought new ignition key switch kit MD3134 and ignition switch MD2185. Electrically everything seems to be...

In the middle of rebuilding the steering column in my 1972 Duster and was considering eliminating the steering wheel lock. Should I eliminate the steering wheel lock?

Thinking about changing a couple fuse sizes in the fuse box, mainly looking at the radio/back up lights fuse. All that is on the circuit is going to be the back up lights and a volt gauge, so 20A fuse seems excessive. Anyone undersize this fuse to either a 15A or even 10A, or any other fuses for...

So I bought the reproduction column collars to rebuild my auto column to not auto column and use a console shifter for the auto trans instead. Here is my question, I bought all I think I need but may be missing a detail. When removing the shift sleeve and using the ER-16 bearing at the bottom of...

So here is a question that needs to be answered… The inner wheel houses where the rear seat belt retractors bolt to are both screwed… (1972 Duster). I have no metal remaining on either inner wheel house to determine how they should look… they looked repaired at first but now I think the metal...

Looking for driver quality pieces… first up. 1) The quarter glass latch handle mounts. I bought new latch handles but just figured out they don’t include the part that bolts to the pillar under the metal trim, and mine look like hell. I am in here now so now is the time. 2) Door handles. Mine...

So I bought a brand new FTI torque converter and a TCI SFI flexplate because of the need for 7/16-20 converter bolt holes. The TCI flexplate is .107” thick and the converter holes are threaded .700” deep. ARP converter bolts are .500” below the head... and are to be torqued to 60 or 70 foot...

I just mocked up my brake booster (7” diameter) in my 1972 Duster. The booster is over top the driver side Mopar Performance valve cover on the 340 close enough to never be able to remove the valve cover. With adjustable rockers I want to be able to remove the valve cover. Does anyone know of...

Is there a possibility of having the wrong pitman arm on a 1972 Duster. All master splines line up on all components but with both tie rods adjusted the same length the steering wheel is upside down.

Need a little help. Not sure what is going on but my new TTI exhaust will not fit. Bought the 67-76 A body 2.5” full exhaust with H pipe. This is coupling to their small block shorty headers and extension pipes. My first issue is the intermediate H pipes run into the floor.... not good... and...

I need the correct bracket for the column shift z bar that bolts to the transmission, pictured below. I have the B body one now and need to correct that.

Figured I would post this because it’s true and awesome. I had purchased and received a Hellwig sway bar a few months back and last week I realized I hadn’t inspected it close enough at original opening to notice that the bends were off by a significant amount. Called Hellwig and talked with...

I am changing from bench to bucket seats in my Duster and am looking for the center seat belts, in black, to match the original belts I have. The belts I have are out of a 1974 car and the retractors are operating perfectly, so just need the center belts that look like the ones pictured, in...

Bought stainless steel brake lines for my Duster and after installing the passenger front to distribution block line (easily the hardest one while engine is installed), I found an issue. The double flare at the distribution block was not completed!!!!!! I am so frustrated by that... and if had...

Anyone have one of the spare tire fiberboard cover hold down cups laying around? I don’t care about the rest of the hold down stuff as I am doing my own thing there, just need that cup to hold the fiberboard cover down.

This will seem strange but the answer may be better than the question. Looking at Sunpro Super Tach 2 (black face 2-5/8) on eBay and I guess the same tach is now made by Bosch. I can get the same gauge for the same price... should I buy new Bosch which will match my other two new Bosch gauges...

This may seem like a strange request but I am looking for the radio harness connector/pigtail off of a radio. Don’t need or want the radio, nor do I want to buy a radio just to hack the connector/wire off of it... What I am doing is tying into the factory harness at the radio location to run...

This is kind of a overdo thread but now that I am under way on rebuilding my 1972 Duster, I figure everyone would want to see what I got myself into. Some have seen my various help threads for issues I have run into, so some of this stuff will be a repeat for some. And some pictures and...

So I spent last night understanding my new reproduction wiring harnesses. Yes I bought all the major ones (Dash, Engine, Front Lighting, Rear Lighting). Anyway, with the wiring diagram on my big screen TV and the continuity function of the digital miltimeter I have determined where every single...

So with the old headers out and starter off I have figured out my car is missing the engine to transmission braces. Anyone have a pair for 340 to 727 application?

Mocked up my TTI shorty headers and head pipes. Supposed to clear a block mounted short oil filter, which it in fact does... but if you ever want to change that oil filter you will have to remove the head pipe... not helpful... So I guess I need a 90 degree oil filter adapter for my 340...

What is everyone buying for intake manifold bolts on small block LA (340) with LD340 or other aftermarket aluminum intake on cast iron heads? Measuring it myself the bolt should be about 1-1/2” long but every intake manifold bolt offered as “correct” are 1-1/4” long, which would be too short...
