    Tremec TKX first cuts

    Allow me to add my experience with the TKX swap and torsion bar brace removal. I was probably one of the first on this forum to swap out from a three speed auto to a TKX in my 72' Duster. My kit came from Silver Sport and I was very happy with the components. I had a local speed shop do all...

    I'm pretty sure you can.

    Tremec TKX first cuts

    I don't have the car anymore so I can't look to confirm but I believe the shop installed it just above and to the outside of the master cylinder.

    New dash and Holley Sniper installed....wow!

    Speaking of the exhaust "drone".....the only way I found to get rid of it for good was to swap out the three speed auto for a 5 speed manual. Expensive "fix" but it was worth it! then I went and sold the car. Lost a ton of money but I wasn't driving the car much and decided that...

    Tremec TKX first cuts

    My pedals are aftermarket ones that came with the kit. But I guess that’s pretty obvious.

    I don't know if this helps you guys or not but this pic shows where the shop mounted my clutch push rod in relation to the steering column. The clutch works fine in this position.

    New dash and Holley Sniper installed....wow!

    Yeah it's a lot of money but once it's dialed in, you shouldn't have any problems. Your car will start up and drive like your daily. Btw, you don't need a return line with the Sniper.

    New dash and Holley Sniper installed....wow!

    Yes, I have hyperspark. Can't say that I noticed any difference between this and the MSD distributor that was previously on the car.

    New dash and Holley Sniper installed....wow!

    I have them on my car as well. They did an "ok" job of limiting the "drone" a slight bit but it was still there. So I swapped out my mufflers to Pypes Turbo mufflers and that helped the best.

    New dash and Holley Sniper installed....wow!

    Pros....it starts up without hesitation. Idles where you set it via the wizard. Also can use the wizard to control timing if you also have hyperspark distributor. Cons....I've had to replace the O2 sensor already. Also, some people have had issues with loose injector wiring (easy fix...

    TKX

    I coasted through two stop signs, that are not on through streets. The video was shot on a large church parking lot and a connecting drive between a few auto dealers. The reason I coasted through was because I was driving while holding my phone to shoot the video (try downshifting with one...

    [SOLD] 1972 340 Duster for sale - 5 speed, Sniper, Wilwoods, etc

    Thanks, I know that I'm losing money by selling it. The only reason I'm getting rid of the car is like I said in my post, I wanted a nicer daily driver. My daily was a Genesis G-80, which I still own but it's also up for sale, and is a very nice car. To me, the Duster never was a "daily...

    [SOLD] 1972 340 Duster for sale - 5 speed, Sniper, Wilwoods, etc

    Not original. The car was a 318 three speed auto when it left the factory. btw, I cleared out my inbox so I can accept PM's now.

    [SOLD] 1972 340 Duster for sale - 5 speed, Sniper, Wilwoods, etc

    I decided that I would rather have a nicer daily driver than a 50 year old car that I drive once a week so the Duster must go. It's currently at a consignment dealer in Charlotte NC but I can get the car back in mid February and sell it myself. The dealer is asking $52k for the car. I've got...

    TKX

    Probably not very helpful but here's a short video of my car with the TKX starting up and driving. At the end, I'm on the interstate cruising at 70mph @ 1900 rpm.

    TKX

    I know you decided not to install a TKX but I thought I would add my experience with one. I had a shop convert my three speed auto to the TKX and I could not be happier. The transmission is one of the best I've ever driven. It shifts like the old toploader I had years ago in my Cobra replica...

    Tremec TKX conversion in A-body!

    I may not be much help concerning which boot to use since I went with a straight up shift and not an offset, but here's a couple pics of my TKX swap. Note, my car was a console automatic before the swap. I used the boot that came with my kit from Silver Sport.

    Convince me to put a TKX in my Dart

    I'm glad you found an easy solution! I wish I had known about the Holley brace before my TKX swap. I would have had the shop put it in during the installation process.

    Convince me to put a TKX in my Dart

    If you're referring to me, I did install subframe connectors....except I went with Hotchkiss.

    Convince me to put a TKX in my Dart

    I’ve put around 300 or so miles on my TKX equipped car since I had the conversion done. No top brace. No issues yet. I did add subframe connectors which really helps.

    Hope you can stand another "compression test results" thread

    My idle is set to 14.7 AF/R but apparently it won't get there. For some reason I can't access what the tuner set the cruise and WOT timing and AF/R values. It's not showing up on the wizard. I don't get any decal backfiring but I use to get a backfire on acceleration which I thought was a...

    Hope you can stand another "compression test results" thread

    Yeah I may have to advance the timing a bit. However my engine was tuned on a chassis dyno and I think the tuner but as much timing in as he felt was right.
