I have a automatic 72 duster with a slant and 65K original miles. I was wondering if putting in an OD unit in it is ruining the car? Its interior isnt stock anymore but besides minor things its in original shape.
Am I de-valuing this 72 Duster?

I would say that a \6 is not the most desirable in the first place. So I would not worry about devaluing by adding a OD
If you can add OD unobtrusively, I would say that is a positive addition. Especially if you actually drive the car.
In my opinion, OD is the single best thing you can do to increase MPG.

Yeah, thats what I figured.
Thanks! I appreciate the input.

Make it safe and driveable and have fun.
Heck no. I would say if done nicely it adds value to a cruiser or DD. Would to me.
Not only does OD add a slight mpg increase, but also increases engine life by lowering rpms per mile.
It'd be interesting to see what mpg's it gets b4 and after. Keep a log.
Ill start recording.
Unless you do a lot of highway driving you may not see much.

Who cares. It's your car. Make it your own. I would never worry unless I had a fairly rare, matching number trailer queen. Otherwise, make it what you want. The more enjoyable it is to drive, the more you will drive it.
Naw, have at it!

Just do it and not look back........
To a point. You don't want to lug the engine either.
A slant 6 with a 833 od, 4.10 rear gear and tall tires. Get's 27 mpg hwy.
