Update on this one if you can help. Just took the carb for another adjustment and seems to be idling a bit better now after rebuilt. But when I come to a stop. When I try to go again i am getting stuttering for about 1 second before car gets going. Right now just tried to pull into driveway and...

Ah ok. So dead cold it doesnt matter that the fast idle isnt sitting in a step?

Hello all, A bit of a newbie so I will try and explain as best I can. I just got my carb rebuilt and noticed that the choke I think is not where it is supposed to be. In first 2 pics, the choke is closed all the way and the fast alignment screw is not in correct place/Step in CAM? Is this...

Awesome thanks!

Where would I find one of those? I am assuming I need it since it is vacuum?

Looking for this part below for 74 duster 225. Or anything similar! Thanks

Hello guys. Need help with the vacuum system on my 74 duster 225. I have attached pics of how It is currently setup. The vacuum lines on firewall have snapped due to age. They go to I believe AC system but don’t know if I can just cap or do I need to fix. Also the one on radiator is broken as...

Ok so I got the car up and running! Somewhat. Had to jump the car since the battery was pretty dead. Once car was warm amo meter was dead center. Ran for about 20-30 minutes. As soon as I pulled in driveway it turned off. Only way to turn it back on was jumping. It is a pretty old battery but...

Wasn’t actually the cable. More the alternator/pulley area. No burnt cables.

Lol Sorry. Again I am new to this. Learning more each day!

Thank you for your replies very helpful! The alternator had what looked like something burned in back of it. Kinda like black from something that burned. May be explaining it wrong. And yes for the cables they were exposed and already green color going to starter.

Yeah the reason I replaced the alt and started is because they were in really really bad shape. Would’ve had to replace anyway. That will just leave me with vacuum lines and or carb rebuild. I’ll update tomorrow if it is up and working!

Have replaced starter, alternator, VR and now waiting to install positive and negative battery cables that cracked sent over. Hopefully today or tomorrow will try and start it up and see what happens.

Hello, Looking to buy a new starter since current one won’t crank. Where can I get an oem starter? Or upgraded starter. Or which one is best/ most reliable. Engine is slant 6 with no upgrades. Send me links please!

The one that was on it was a 60. And the replacement I got is a 65. I believe the oem was a 50amp? Not sure. Just want to make sure I won’t fry anything if I put in the 65 amp.

Hello all, Alt on my 1974 duster took a crap. Looks like previous owner had a 60amp Alt in there. Looking to put in a replacement. Can i put in a 65 AMP Alt with no issues? (got this alt from Autozone.) Or what would be the best OEM alt i can put in? Have done no mods to car and car has AC...

Hi! @crackedback Can you send me a PM please? looking for info on this as well as info on the MAD upgrade. Thanks!

Thank you very much! That narrows it down to either the alt or carb right?

Would be nice if it would drive around but now its at state where it wont idle on startup. When the car was running one thing i did notice was the amp gauge on dash was all the way up to i think +40?

Ok will check that on CARB. wouldnt know exact rpm but not too much. the higher i keep the rev the better the engine sounds, the lower the rpm it starts acting like it is going to turn off then when pedal is off it just turns off. OEM Drum brakes. where would that hose be sorry. Pretty...

Thank you for your reply! How/where would i check choke not stuck closed? Again sorry not at all that knowledgeable with classics. Did mess with the idle screw but didnt do anything. For vacuum leak, one thing i saw was that i plugged most of the ones i saw open with plugs. only ones that didnt...

Hello all, Very happy to join this community! From what I have seen so far you guys are all amazing! Happy to say I have gotten my first classic car and it is a 74 duster with a slant 6. The reason i am posting here is because i seem to be having an issue with the engine. (Bare with me as i...
