I have a 73 duster, 340 - 727 auto, with PS & PB, no A/C.

Anyone know the factory weight of these cars? I searched this link in the tech archive http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=13060 but it did not have my car, and was not sure if the provided weight were with or without driver. Trying to do calculations, and have been using 3200 lbs w/o driver (assume -100 lbs for aluminum heads and intake, +50 lbs subwoofer)

Any better weigths would be appreciated.

Thanks!

But I'm hoping that someone will chime in with a weight from when they teched in at the track. Most of the online E.T. calculators say you lose about .5 sec with an extra 200lbs

There will be a scale at your local dump, since they charge money for the amount of trash you dump I'm guessing that the scale would be pretty accurate.
 
mine is about 3185lbs with me in it (small guy at 190lbs )and a full tank of gas and everything i usualy have in the car :)
340 with aluminum heads and intake 904gearbox 81/4"rear PB PS but with a pin on fiberglas hood, scaled at a local police stop where they check the weight of trucks and another scale at a recycling station
 
Great idea on the junkyard an rock quarry - did not even think of that! Looks like I'm in the ballpark with 3200 est, but I'll check to be sure - Thanks!
 
A friends all iron Demon with him in it weighed in at 3350. He weighs about 185-200.
