Are there any serious long term effects with unleaded gas? I'm not too worried with my Duster since the engine is rebuilt but the 383 in my 65 300 is original. A couple times this summer I have used bottles of lead additive in the gas. Never had any issues but several years from now will things...

I have an A1 cardone steering box for my Duster. Have had it for a few years still in the box. My Duster is a '74 318, stock manifolds power steering, power disk brakes. Lately my steering has been feeling numb. The car currently has the original box. It leaks a little but more than anything...

My Duster is currently in hibernation mode for the winter. But I decided to fire it up this afternoon and let it run for a few minutes. Once I got it going just a few seconds later I heard a loud noise. Not like a squeal though. Sort of hard to explain. I had my hand on the steering wheel and...

I will be throwing the car cover on the Duster soon. Starting to get to cold to drive it. My biggest concern is mice. I didn't have any problems last winter but I do remember seeing a couple running around. Whats the best way to prevent them from getting in the car? I have read sticking rags up...

Met with a few friends over the weekend at the local track. Took my duster down and made a four passes. 16.2 @ 86mph was my best. I was hoping for 15's but oh well. The car just dosn't launch good but seems to pull good once moving. Sorry not many pictures of actual racing. Overall it was a fun day.

This question is regarding my 65 Chrysler 300. I will soon be doing an oil change. The engine is a 383 with 92,000 original miles. I don't beleive its ever been rebuilt. Do I need to worry about using oil with zinc or is any conventional oil okay being the cam has long been broken in? I plan on...

Today I drove home this 1965 Chrysler 300. It was about a 2 1/2 hour trip. Car rides great. So far I'm very happy with it. After searching for about six months I finally found one. Past owner says its a 413. I'll have to look at the numbers just to make sure. I'll also search for the build...

This is new to me. I drove my Duster to the local cruise in which is about 10 miles of highway driving. Everything was fine as always on the way but had a big issue on the way home. When I got on the on-ramp I punched it and it took off great. I had it to about 75mph or so then let off the gas...

My Duster leaks a small amount of antifreeze. I drove it last night and it had been sitting for one week. When I pulled it out I viewed what had leaked it was a milky substance. If I look beneath the car after a couple days of sitting I can see the green drops on the floor obviously being...

I had an instance today after while I was out cruising around. Close to my house there is a large 4-way intersection. There was little traffic so I decided to have some fun. When I made the left turn I mashed the throttle. Lots of tire squealing and the roar of the exhaust it was great. I have...

I'll probably be getting a new battery this week for my Duster. I have been having issues where at random it will not start and needs a jump. The current one is just over three years old and its an exide. Can't remember the cranking amps. I was going to get something else other than an exide...

I was recomended to buy a MSD blaster coil for my '74 318. I'm not sure what kind is on it now. I think I paid $15 for it on ebay years ago. It's all chrome. I was told for $45 or so you can't go wrong. After doing some reading it sounds like I can't use my OEM replacment ballast resistor. Is it...

I also have a small...
