    Wiper Motor have 3 sp switch with 2 pd motor

    I bought a 3 speed wiper motor from I think rockauto.com. Look up a 1976 duster. There are 2 different ones. Get the cheaper one. All you need to do is splice the wires to the connector. The more expensive motor -I believe- is the same way. My motor was going out but I found out that it was my...

    wiper motor wont "park"?? 74 duster

    found a digital copy here on site somewhere. Brown wire went to washer pump. Still cant get wipers to "park". I found a checklist that someone on site copied. http://www.passion4mopars.com/How-To-Bench-Test-A-3-Speed-Mopar-Wiper-Motor_b_4.html I will try this. I tried to run a ground from the...

    wiper motor wont "park"?? 74 duster

    My last wiper motor on my 74 duster decided it only wanted to work on high mach 3 speed. It never parked either. Anyway, bought a new wiper motor and it doesnt park either. Its a 3 speed motor. I think I got the first motor and switch from a 74 dart swinger/valiant junk/parts car. Or a different...

    How to: GM12SI alternator on a small block

    Is there a smaller pulley we can buy for the mopar alts? Im running a 100 amp alt from a 78 cordoba in mine and idle sucks. Maybe I will just bump the idle up to 1000rpm?

    I'm spent... need some ignition advise.

    sounds like a vacuum leak?? Maybe around carb base gasket? Check on back of carb for the big hole and make sure its sealed good. Also look down carb when at idle and see if your not dripping fuel down primaries while its running. Mine did that. Had to take back apart and use air pressure to...

    Gas Gauge drops to empty fast.

    I just bought a new spectre unit and its doing the same exact thing. Only two good things about it is that when you reach empty-you still have almost half a tank of gas left-no rushing to a gas station, and- when you do get to a gas station- it only takes $30 to fill it lol.

    help-popping up through carb-seems to be dist/cap/rotor issue???

    To all that helped and future searches- it was the timing chain. I had about 1/2" play on it. The cam "looked" good. Didn't mic the cam. There was only a few more steps involved- so I changed the cam also- put a stock cam in it for now. No popping at all now and timing chain is nice and tight...

    Help! Slow Battery Discharge

    unless you go to every part with a multimeter?? I try and do the sometimes simple thing- takes time though. Disconnect things one at a time. Put a multimeter on your battery to see current draws. read your meter, disconnect alt. Do over and over for starter, ign switch, etc. If it takes 2 weeks...

    help-popping up through carb-seems to be dist/cap/rotor issue???

    Thaats alot of good info- will check these day by day-weather permitting. My garage roof leaks real bad and the walls seem noneexistant lol. Thank you for all the good info. I do have a warranty on the distributor-maybe I will just order a new one and switch them out. Then also do all these...

    help-popping up through carb-seems to be dist/cap/rotor issue???

    Ok- I have a 74 Duster with a 78 360 4 bbl. My car just started to pop up through the carb a while ago. I thought and was told by many that this is a cam issue. Makes sense and sounds like it would be. Then my dad says-check your cap and rotor, replace them. ok ok, here it goes- a few months...

    Where do I start?

    bad ground and bad contact area on the spades in the fuse block is what did that to mine. I ran a sanding or wire wheel on my dremel to all the fuse block spades. They didnt look too bad, but it actually solved alot of my electrical problems. akes 5 minutes- it may surprise you. My sending unit...

    1973 Duster charging issue

    Im thinking that your alt is bad. You should have 13 volts at battery while running. Start car and disconnect battery. If alt is bad-engine will die. May not be the approved way for some people, but thats the back yard way lol. I cant remember the way of easily checking the VR other than...

    upgraded duster alt, no gas gauge, coolant temp gauge, wipers, or dome light

    ok- turns out after 3 days+ of checking wires, redoing grounds, swearing, etc- I did get my 4 ways to work. Turns out the fuse cavity was dirtier than what it looked. I even have brake lights now. Still dont know about reverse lights though. I will say this- those tail lights are brighter than I...

    upgraded duster alt, no gas gauge, coolant temp gauge, wipers, or dome light

    yeah- I saw that and it kinda gave me the idea. I am thinking that since the one I am looking at is only 1 1/2" round-same as dash hole- it may be alot easier to install as a unit-rather than cutting it all up. Its a down the road project.

    upgraded duster alt, no gas gauge, coolant temp gauge, wipers, or dome light

    Thanks everyone for all the help!! Still havent figured it out yet. I do have a good temp gauge and my oil-idiot-light came on now. The circuit board needed a good cleaning. I also took the dremel out and sanded the front turn signal sockets out- they needed it even though they worked. I havent...

    upgraded duster alt, no gas gauge, coolant temp gauge, wipers, or dome light

    I printed all that out to check tomorrow. The 4 ways work if I have the 4 way switch out and the turn signal on in either left or right, but 4 ways dont work with turn signal off. Any ideas there?

    upgraded duster alt, no gas gauge, coolant temp gauge, wipers, or dome light

    ok- put new ign key lock in. Didnt change anything. The car wont start-the starter doesnt engage when key is turned to start position. Didnt do it before I changed key tumbler. It starts when I cross the terminals at the starter relay, and shuts off engine with key at steering column. Nothing...

    upgraded duster alt, no gas gauge, coolant temp gauge, wipers, or dome light

    Dash is installed-grounded to dash. I actually have an extra wire that I hooked to one of the screws on the back of the dash cluster to better ground it. The dash cluster lights work-so I was guessing that the gauges are grounded?? Im about ready to just rewire all the wires at the bulkhead and...

    upgraded duster alt, no gas gauge, coolant temp gauge, wipers, or dome light

    I have a 74 Duster. I have the complete wiring from a 74 Valiant in it. I did the alt upgrade and bypassed the ammeter. Bolted those 2 wires together, ran straight through bulk head connector, etc etc. I have tail lights, head lights, side marker lights, parking lights, heater fan motor, most...

    Car won't even crank...

    I had my 75 duster do this- ended up being the pos battery cable at the battery post. Have someone wiggle that or get tension on it when it doesnt start and see if it will start. It all "looked" good. Stupid $10 pos battery cable!

    this relay is for what??

    dgtwo- let me know what you come up with- sounds like we are in the same boat. Im going to try to put a jumper where that relay is and find that black wire for ground. I had the engine running last fall-all from under the hood (pos bat wire with toggle switch to coil, jump at starter relay-that...

    this relay is for what??

    yep- its a mess in there-just trying to get everything to work before it gets cleaned up. Its not a driver yet. I just put a windshield in it in the fall. Dont have the bucket seats in yet, and the dash is about half put together. If it was a driver- yeah- Id be worried, but I disconnect the...
