Dad's Duster Finally Lives

[johnnydop]

I just wanted to apologize to everyone for disappearing off the boards. The last six months have run me ragged. The last I spoke to everyone I was chasing a zero oil pressure in the 383. After some good advice here, I discovered I had a bent push rod. Since that point I pulled the heads to have them redone, rewired everything under the hood. I found there were many splices with just electrical tape on them. I rebuilt the brakes. And some of the interior has been replaced.
Also, I dropped the gas tank and replaced the all the components. Hopefully I will be able to break away from the wife this weekend and get her fired up and on the road!
I will post some pics this Sunday or Monday!

Glad you're back.

Sounds like you've been busy and hopefully she fires up and runs awesome.
