    72 Duster twister with the 275 horse 340 engine?

    Look at the harmonic balancer. Is it a steel crank, or cast iron? The balancer will tell you. Cast iron will have a counter balance weight on the internal portion of the balancer. Forged steel crank will not. Forged steel...equals high compression. Cast...8:5:1 low compression. As far as the...

    Thing I hate most about my/all A-bodies

    Every time, and I mean every time I take my '72 340 original Duster out for a drive some know it all wants to one up me with " I had one just like that, but it had a Hemi in it." Like he doesn't realize I rebuilt, and have owned this car since my father sold it to me in '80, that the 340 was the...

    Screeching Sound

    Belt alignment! Sometimes a washer, or two may be needed to make sure the belts run true. I did all the soap, tightening, loosening. Then one day my neighbor (an old timer who knew his way around an engine) eye balled my alternator belt, and sure enough it was just a bit behind the crank pulley...

    The first time I've been afraid to rebuild a carburetor

    Pump leaks are notorious on Holley carbs. Get real fine sandpaper, lay it on a flat table, take the pump cover and LIGHTLY sand it in one direction until all four corners clean up. MAKING SURE you keep the pump arm from touching the sandpaper. They won't leak again (fresh gasket of course)...

    NOS 71 sharktooth grille & bezels

    Any '71, '72 Duster could have a shark tooth (or as Plymouth called it the "unique grill".) My neighbor had a '72 318 Twister with one. While seen mostly on 340's for those two years. Any Duster could be ordered with one. And I'd say..If it's not cracked anywhere around $1500.00. I repainted a...
