Anyone have anything to say about Hughes converters? Looking at one for my dad's 340 Duster. I have a Fairbanks 3000 in mine, but they no longer exist. He needs a little more stall than what he presently has with a generic stock low stall replacement of about 1200. Was looking at either a...

Needing some help here. I had a master cylinder go bad after 21 years. It started leaking out the rear of it. I could fill the reservoir and had great brakes but after it sat for a few weeks, it would be low again. I replaced this master cylinder with another remanufactured unit, which...

Anyone had any dealings with the radiators from speedcooling.com? They list a 22" and a 26" radiator for small block. My 74 360 duster came out with a 26" radiator. Since I installed a/c, it wants to run warm on a hot day when I'm using it. The radiators they list dont list what bodies they...

Hey guys. Hoping to get some good feedback. I am going to go from 3.91 gears back to the factory original 2.94 to get some better cruising. I have an old Fairbanks converter in that is rated at 3000. Against the brake it goes 2700. When I used to have 3.55's in it, the converter work the...

Right now I'm running 3.91's with a Fairbanks 3000 converter. Against the brake it will stall about 2700 rpm. I'm getting tired of the higher rpms of the 3.91's. Since I put air-conditioning on it a couple of years ago I'm trying to drive it to more shows and cruises. I was thinking about...

What is the going price of a set of original sport mirrors from a 1973 Duster. They are the painted style, not the chrome ones. The drivers side is remote. They are in good shape with great mirror lens. I pulled from a California/Hawaii car back in the early 90's. Any idea on value is...
