Ok thank you. I haven't ever used the advanced function.

Ok thank you. Rough ideas on used trunk lids?

OK. If a person wanted to convert the windshield trim to the 68 the rubber is likely pretty easily found, but the stainless is pretty hard. That helps. Any ideas on notchback trunk lid pricing for a good one? I am not new to old cars and my skills are pretty solid. But that is why I am...

A buddy is thinking of selling me a 67 barracuda notchback. I haven't seen the car in decades. I recall it needed a fender and things were a little beat up. What body and interior parts are really hard to find? And what do they cost for used stuff? For example, used trunk lids usually go...

This is long, but perhaps worth reading..... I've been gone from board here so long I am sure I don't know any one other than a couple of folks here in Oregon and of course the always generous Rumblefish who hooked me up with some good parts way back when I was building my car. However, I...

I have always towed with 3/4 tons. I ran a light 3/4 Dodge gas truck with an EFI 360 that was decent. However, the best one is my 1989 Cummins with a 5-speed. Really nice when you need to lay down the power and not eat yourself out of house an home. We recently bought a family truck that is...

I haven't owned the Scamp in a few years, but it was a sweet ride. I loved it and should have kept it but my automotive ADHD kicked in. I love the 440 Scamp there. That is prime screensaver material. Grassy, as far as the hierarchy goes it is easy. Just try and sell both and see which...

My guess is that someone from here got this car, not sure though. Here is is for 2.5 times the asking price when I looked at it. http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/2825027488.html It is the same car, no question. I didn't think they had advertised it again and we were playing phone...

I emailed you Mike. I am sure you are busy at work. ROB

No this is in a barn that no one, including me could find. It was advertised sounding like a one owner clean as a whistle car. I pictured it being something that was detailed monthly and babied. I actually found it a couple of years ago on the Portland Oregon CL. But it was located near...

Putting a serious face on this. I would say that Scamps are indeed misunderstood and somewhat unknown outside of the Mopar world. It took me months to sell off a 72 Scamp that was pretty nice in a lot of ways. If it would have been a Duster I suspect it would have sold much sooner for...

I do live in the high desert area. I remember the trunk had some issues and one extension. Welding / body and mechanical I do all myself so it isn't a huge issue. Hopefully tomorrow I can get out there. The weird thing is that I can't get the Mopars out of my system. My thoughts were that I...

Found out it is still available. Currently, I do not own any Mopar cars at all. I am going to go look at it again. We are negotiating on the price and so forth. They are still set on 1k, but may be willing to dicker some. We shall see. More to follow. ROB

Actually your car is one I have always liked for just the reasons you mention. I like the MPG WITH performance. Nice balancing act there. ROB

I have thought of modifying a /6 at various times in my life. People who are into them are very strong in their beliefs. What I remember the most was the Hot Rod build on one about five years ago. It made about the same HP as a stock 318 with a 4-barrel and headers with similar performance...

I guess I should clarify. The hauling that I do is just a few cases of food and drink for the store. It is only a few times a month etc. However it is enough that the trunk is likely too small in an F body. Driving another rig is an option to get the food if I have to. The MPG thing is...

This will be a longer post. Sorry, but I am doing some searching. I'm looking for a fair season car with a V8 that will get 20 MPG or so. I've sold all my A bodies, and I have considered a Fox stang, and done some research into the F body Camaro's (Yes, I know this is a Mopar site...)...

The Oregon one has been on CL for awhile, I think it was in Seattle last year or something. I have definately seen it on there over the past few years once or twice. I just did a cursory search in Montana for Dusters.........yikes. Pretty grim out there. What was up with the yellow Duster????

OK that helps. I have most mounts on hand. For now, I need to run the stock K frame / suspension and axle. I know there are shortcomings. I just want to get it on the road, and if that means no large smoky burnouts so be it. Eventually all of those things will come too. Thank you for...

One more quick question. Do I need to switch the steering center link in order to make this work? Or can I use the existing one on my 72? It has a /6 in it. ROB

Thank you. I am not easily swayed. My deal is this. I have a couple of Jeeps that get low teens, an older Cummins that gets 20ish mpg. I live 20 miles from work and 50 miles from town. Oh, and my 440 Dart Sport which I would guess is a low-teens car at best. I have driven old stuff my...

Could. But it is bad and I have a mountain of v8 stuff on hand already. ROB

Hello, I am likely going to be building a budget pre 73 A body with a V8. The car currently has a /6 and an automatic and is complete. I have parted several 73-76 A body's and a few trucks etc. I have most all of the linkage etc. from all of them. I also have a 72 v8 with manifolds...

I can say that I have now driven my old rig another month since my post. No more issues, and not a whole lotta work extra once I got the big stuff done. It runs well. Is paid for and gets better mileage than newer trucks. If you are willing to do the work and upkeep and are tenacious to...

I hate to jump in late, but I did just what you are asking about, only from a dead reliable newer truck that I owed a bit on to a paid for 89 Cummins. Here is what I have noticed. My Cummins was a ranch slave truck. Almost nothing worked, but the engine. I have spent about $300-500 and...

The distributor thing with small blocks. Some other minor stuff. But for me, here is the biggie....... The fact that it is possible to get the right car, and have to replace everything mechanical, everything....... Keep in mind my favorite mopar is a 73 Duster. Imagine one with...

I am a total do it yourself guy, including ring and pinions and automatics. I try and not let anything get in my way.........but that gas tank did. I tried several options. Eventually after messing around for a month with filters and plugged lines etc. I took it in, had it boiled and I...

I "stupidly" sold a 2.94 or so geared 8.25 for $100 last year. It did not have ebrake cables and the pads had been moved. It would have taken a few bucks and a Sunday to clean it up and get it going. I say stupidly sold it because I could use it now.

How many Canadians use UPS? I seem to remember people not liking UPS for some reason. USPS is fine, but to get the insurance it was almost twice the cost because the shipment went from 6-10 days to 2-3 and was shipped faster. It would have been about $160 to ship a $150 worth of parts...

If everyone on both sides is reasonable I think it works great. The seller is willing to do a bit more leg work, and the buyer is willing to pay the increased costs for insurance and delivery confirmation it works great. If the seller isn't motivated, or the buyer is too cheap then things...
