Thanx man. Not 100% sure on the exhaust yet. A buddy just got one from Summit a couple days ago. Looks real good. Gonna see how it fits up and maybe order one up for me. The price is excellent and the quality appears top notch.

My buddy Phil, mrtires24 here bought the same setup for his big block Duster..i agree the quality is very good and they have a nice docile idle with an aggressive wide open sound.
Keep up the good work bud. :happy1:

Would you mind posting a link the the Summit exhaust parts you're talking about? They have quite a variety.
Not 100% sure, but I think it was this one.....I will ask him which it was for sure. I am going by the price he paid. But now it looks like it's on sale!

Yes, that's the one i got for my Dart Sport.
It ended up being $244.00 shipped to Montana and i went down there and picked it up.
It took about a week to ship and weighed 73 pounds.
It looks good in the box, we'll see when i put it on in the next few days!

I love those vintage slotted mags! I have a set on my Furd (below) and I think they look awesome.
Hey, I don't mean to hijack, but 340sFastback: I have the same rear lockup issue you described and I'm wondering if your advice on the master cylinder size are rear wheel cylinder size will work for power brakes too...?

This morning I built the crossover lines and installed my front calipers. Thanx to Mike, aka badlilred79, for supplying some of the difficult parts to come across. The only concern I have is whether I got the crossovers low enough that they don't hit the rim when its on.
Yee haw, the brake lines clear. :cheers: Actually I had to adjust one as the stick on balancing weights hit it. Minor bend and good to go. So it's sitting on the front wheels. Don't have shocks yet but just wanted to see it. I pulled the rear drums so I can do the shoes and put in the new wheel cylinders. They don't look to bad but I will have to see if they are turnable.
I am jealous your car is coming together great.

Lookin good. What size are those tires? You will love that exhaust it sounds great and is pretty loud and is whats on my 74 dart
Too funny, you made me go look. They are 245 / 60 / 14. They came on the Demon. They are shot so I really hadn't even paid attention to them. I will have to see if they are feasible to run in this size.

Looking good, mate - Looks fat with those 245s up front... Makes me rethink the tyres I just ordered...
Thanx. Now now, no need for jealousy, I am just lucky to have enough spare time right now to get at it. Believe you me, there are plenty here that I envy as well.
rayer: Thanx, I'm not sure what tires I will be running yet. I do like the fat look though. :grin:

They look great If you determine they work could ya get the specs on the wheel like width and backspace?
Hey you're alive! Thanx Tom. Hope you got all healed up. Sucks to be sick at any time let alone the season. My brake shoes and a new water pump will be here today. I'll do those and then I gotta flush the fuel tank. Looked in it with a light and it looks really clean but I wanna run a little fuel through the lines and see what comes out. I still might pull it out, but that 71 system adds a ton of effort and lines to disconnect! We'll see.
Thanx. Ya I'll get the wheel numbers and post them. I may not run that size though......I was in the other garage and came across some 14" Coopers and some 15" Nationals. I am going to go through my collection of slots and see if I have any Mopar SBP 15's. If not there will be decisions to be made!

Sweet build! I could've used those disc pictures yesterday, If only I would've just looked at this thread....
I got my new water pump and brake shoes. I also got a wheel stud that was missing. Thanx to Tom for that, and a whack of stuff for the 73 340 Duster, but that's another thread. I installed the pump, but have not filled it with coolant yet. So I decided it was time to do some aesthetics. I bought two grills, a standard grill from gunmetal 72 and a sharktooth from badlilred79. I have pretty much completed the repairs on the shark and am repairing the standard. I'm near 100% sure the shark is going to be it, it looks mean, but I do have to try the other to be sure which I like better. Maybe I will change them up every once in a while.
