    1971 Plymouth Duster Washington State

    Located In Westport, Washington. It has taken me several years to consider this, but now is the time. I've owned this 71' Duster since the summer of 2001. I purchased it from a friend while in high school. I have not worked on it much since my child was born in 2011, and I have another on the...

    What do you guys think about the Grand Cherokee w/ 5.7 Hemi?

    Any of you have any experience with them? The family will be expanding in May, and it's time that my Civic gets sold to another family. I've been looking at all sorts of cars and trucks, but the Grand Cherokee's, around 05', 06' and 07' or so are real tempting. Right now I've been looking at...

    It's just getting funny at this point... *sarcasm*

    I had a rage filled rant a few weeks ago about being frustrated with my 12 year project. I took some time, bought a few small parts, and decided to tackle an easy project today: install an Edelbrock hard line on the Edelbrock Carb. Easy, right? Well, the Edelbrock Performer intake has a riser...

    The usual "fed up with my project" rant.

    Don't make me jump! I'll do it! :violent1: Went through my build thread last night. I can't believe how little progress I've made in 12 years. I've basically ended up with a full blown restoration, except I don't have the skills, time, money, tools or talent to do it correctly. I just got done...

    Flexi hose from rear line to rear axle? Need help finding

    I'm probably having a hard time finding it because I don't know what it's called. I need the flexible line from the hard line to the rear axle. I now have a Ford 8.8 axle, but I believe a stock hose will work fine, as I'm not seeing that part listed in the swap. Thanks!:hello2:

    I bought these brake lines, where do they go?

    I bought pre bent lines a few months ago for my 71' Duster. Since I upgraded to 73' Discs, I bought lines for a 73'. I understand which line is for the rear axle, and which line goes from the front to the rear (duh), but I have no idea where these two shorter lines go. Any help? They didn't come...

    Is there a difference in power brake boosters between years?

    I am thinking yes, but I haven't researched it in a while. If I remember correctly, everyone sells different versions of boosters + master cylinder, because the the bolts have different spacing on the firewall, correct? I have a 71' Duster, and there are two different styles of Boosters + master...

    Swapped to BBP in front and 8.8 out back... now time to find wheels

    I had some V6 early 2000's wheels a friend gave me to wheel my car around once my swap was complete. I finally got the 73"+ discs on the front of my 71' Duster, and the wheel wouldn't fit over the hub, although the bolt pattern is the same. This made me realize I may run in to all sorts of...

    I tried doing a search, but didn't come up with much. I want to repack my front bearings on my 71' Duster w/ 73' discs. It appears I have to remove the inner wheel seal to get to that inner bearing. How do you guys usually remove that seal, and how to you install the new one? Thanks guys!

    Upper Control Arm Offset Bushings Gap Question

    I just installed Raybestos offset bushings in my upper control arms. They are nearly identical to the infamous Moog offset bushings, are approximately the same price, and were purchased over the Moog's only because of availability. Anyway, there seems to be an approximately 1/8" gap or so...

    upper control arm bushing removal

    I made a bushing removal tool based on another member's thread. It looked to me that it was starting to bend the control arm. I immediately stopped so I wouldn't damage the arm. It returned to its original shape. Do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks.

    Who sells A body 73'+ Spindles?

    I am having a hard time locating 73'+ spindles. Rock Auto doesn't have them, and I have been unable to find them on ebay, CL, and google searches. Any ideas? If I can't buy a 73'+ disc brake swap on here, I will just piece it together, but without the spindles, I am stuck.
