Hi gang. I need to get out of the A body action for a while...just lost my job last night. I'm selling my 70 Duster for $7000 obo. Check out the attached pics and these features: Plain Jane slant 6 auto car originally, absolutely no options, dark burgundy colour, black interior. Engine...

Hi folks. I've been driving my new to me 70 Duster for about 1500 miles this summer between the raindrops. I got the slant 6 running reasonably well. When I first got the car the alignment was terrible, it went all over the place and the steering wheel didn't return to center. Got it...

Hello. I just put a junkyard radiator overflow bottle out of a 76 Duster onto my 70 Duster slant 6. I did it mainly to catch any coolant that might overflow on a really hot day and keep my driveway in better shape. Any ideas gang if it also will work like the newer cooling systems and...

Finally I got some pics!!!!! After many months of work and getting it on the road in late April, here it is... The Big E

Hi gang. I'm having trouble with my 225 slant 6 in my 70 Duster. It is a completely stock engine with the Holley 1920 carb on it. It starts instantly when hot or cold, picks up speed well and idles well when cold while the choke is on. But when it gets warmed up, the idle surges then...

Hello. My 70 DUster with 9 inch drum brakes failed its safety partially due to a leaking RF wheel cylinder. Is it pretty straight forward and quick to rebuild it with a kit? Any tricks to it? thanks for any info. The Big E PS. I was in a hurry to get the Duster on the road so I...

Hi gang. My 70 Duster is almost safetied...failed last week on both lower ball joints and the RF wheel cylinder. Should be on the road just after Easter. I'm into hard core Mopar only show action now. Does anyone know of any Chysler dealerships having shows in the London area this...

Hello. I discovered the cause of my oil leak. There is a plate on the bottom of my oil pump on my slant 6 that leaks when the engine runs. It has 5 bolts, 7/16 inch heads on the bolts and looks like a cover of some type with likely a gasket of some type in there to keep the oil in. It is a...

Hi gang. Good news and bad news with the newer A-body seatbelts I`m installing into my 70 Duster: Good news is that the shoulder belt retractor and shoulder belt mount in the rear door panel and roof respectively are fine. It did take some customizing of how the retractor went into the door...

Hi folks. I finally found some seats for my 70 Duster to replace my broken up plain Jane black bench seats. they are ultra-cool highbacks from a 74 Dart, and are white. They include the center armrest/buddy seat. My buddy who sold them to me took them out of the 74 Dart years back. He...

Hi folks. I lucked out yesterday and found a spare tire cardboard cover piece from a 69 4 door valiant for my 70 Duster. It fits pretty nicely. The problem is that the spare that came with ny Duster is a 'normal' tire/rim width(14 inches). The tire sits about 3 inches too high in the...

Hi gang. I've been working on my 70 DUster for about 2 months now. Just noticed yesterday that there are no rear seat armrests. Were armrests an option in 1970? My Duster is a zero option plain jane car, absolutely no options at all. Maybe getting armrests was possible but cost extra...

Hi gang. I kinda got my windshield wipers to work today. I'm not sure why the connectors on the back of the switch for my 70 Duster don't seem to fit nicely but with some tinkering they now do this: Low speed -fine Hi speed - fine They 'park' in the middle of the windshield though when I...

Hi folks. Should my 70 Duster have left hand threaded wheel nuts on the left side wheels? They are all 'normal' right hand threads on all 4 wheels now. I'm not complaining, it's easier having them all the same. I was wondering if they have been changed or they came from the factory like...

Hi folks. Not sure if anyone has heard of this cool tip for slant 6's(may work on other engines as well?): The gasket from a Mopar oil filter(number FE 148) can be pulled from an old filter and put on top of the carb as a gasket between it and the air filter housing. It's the exact same...

Hello. My 70 Duster does not have a washer bottle at all. My questions on getting some water/washer fluid to my windshield: 1) There are 2 rubber hoses coming from my manual foot pump to the washer bottle area. DO they both get hooked to the washer bottle? Or just the big one? 2)...

Hi folks. I think my Duster's fuses were put in with whatever the previous owner could find for amperage ratings. I can't read the lettering on the actual fusebox and have no owner's manual. Can someone list what each fuse's rating is and what circuits it powers up from their owner's manual...

Hi folks. My factory bone stock 70 Duster slant 6 car is showing just over 18 volts on the battery when idling and the headlights get super bright!!!! I'm assumming that it should never go over maybe 14 volts and that my regulator is bad??? Thanks for any help. The big E

Hi folks. I finally arranged to get the duster home tonight! My wife took these pictures with a flash at night, but they turned out OK. New pics coming in the daylight! For all you California boys, this Duster came from North Highlands California in May near Sacremento. Did anyone remember...

I think I've figured out where the previous owner of my new 70 DUster got his hood painting concept. In surfing around the site I saw the attached picture of the hood for a 71 Duster Twister. My hood has the same paint scheme(no pics of it yet). I think there was no Twister option for 70 but...

Hello. I've attached the photos of the 70 SLant 6 Duster that I will have in my garage shortly. From the pictures can anyone tell me if the side stripe is from a 70 Duster of some type??? I don't think it's a 340 stripe is it??? they were higher up I think??? Between the rear taillights...

Hello. My 70 Duster will be arriving shortly. For pics see my new members entry under London Ontario. Since the last time I bought a Mopar(1993 I think for my 70 Newport???) I've been told that I now need an appraisal done for the MTO to get it plated. Is this true? I guess the bill of...

Hi folks. An amazing number of new members recently!!!! I'm from London Ontario Canada, about half way between Detroit and Toronto. My major Mopar so far has been a 68 CHarger for 15 years, which I sold 5 years back. I've also owned a 70 4 door Coronet(for 18 months then somebody ran a red...
