I am running an A&A reverse patter manual valve body that I bought about 5 years ago in my Duster. It works fine, but will not downshift to first gear unless the car is at a complete stop. Is this a normal characteristic and if so, can it be modified to allow the downshift? The car is use for...

I have a 72 904 on which I did the wide ratio gear swap about 10 years ago. I am now going through it as I am replacing the engine in my Duster and I would like to install the 5 clutch drum and wide band from a 999. I have the drum and band, but am running into a clearance problem with the pump...

I'm about to start on the rehab of my Duster and 1 of the many things that I have to deal with is rebuilding the wide ratio 904. This trans was built about 12 years ago by a friend/tech at a local Dodge dealership. After installation it had several problems that I can't recall any more, that led...

This question is for anyone familiar with the process of adding grooves to the lifter bores for the purpose of improving lubrication to the lobes on a flat tappet cam. I am using the Comp Cams lifter bore grooving tool and in their instructions they say that for best results, the groves should...

I saw a new Scion IQ on the 91 freeway today, my first thought was; Dude, your IQ, it's soooo small! It looks like the bastard offspring of a Smart car and a Yaris.

I don't know if this topic has been addressed on here before, but am I the only one who gets annoyed when people try to pass AMC products off as Mopars? AMC made some really cool cars, but they are not now and never have been Mopars. The last real AMC passenger car was discontinued long before...

My avatar on this site is Chaucer, he's a rescued racing greyhound that I got from Hemopet in Garden Grove California. He's been with me for over 5 years now and he's just turning 11, which is old for a greyhound. He takes his retirement very seriously and has done an amazing job training me to...

Forgive me if this is not the proper place to post this. Though I've been on this site for about 2 years, I generally just prefer to read and learn from other members' posts and occasionally comment if it's a subject that I happen to know about. My son, Brendan and I have been working on his 70...

My Duster has been on the road for about 2 years and in that time the power steering has become increasingly vague and the car has developed quite a lot of bump-steer. When I put the car on the road the pitman and idler arms were new and the tie rods and ends were upgraded to the C-body type...

I am installing a glass hood on my 70 Duster and would like to use the Raisin Bran setup (2 scoops) like a 71 Twister. I am having trouble finding a source for new A body scoops and am wondering if the Dodge B body scoops will work. Its just supposed to look good not appear original.
