I read and type stuff backwards all the time. I really think I'm dyslexic. I'm surprised I made it this far. lol
My daughter has dyslexia. Glad I caught it early.

I'm almost 100% certain I do as well. Yeah, I'm glad you did. I know there's all kinda things you can do now. I'm just a lost cause. lolMy daughter has dyslexia. Glad I caught it early.
Agree. I too, like manual steering and manual brakes. I converted both my Dusters to manual everything LOL. More going to manual than to power, so he could trade a manual steering box for power steering box even up. But, most I find are power steering anyways. He can get a hold of Jpar for an aftermarket AC set up LOL. I think it's more about money and/or travel. So many want back into it, and they think it's 1988 where a couple grand and 15 minutes brings home a beauty. Probably, as he suggested, a new chally would be best for himThat link didn’t work for me, but like you I see them every day. Even on FB Market Place. I think the OP wants a car that has everything he wants so he passes up good buys. You can always install PS (I have no use for PS in MoPars because they drive like crap but you can always upgrade to a Firm Feel steering gear or similar) and you can add aftermarket AC. The OP needs to broaden his AO and not be so quick to dismiss something that doesn’t have PS or AC or both.

Op is the guy with 25k for an a-body that hasn't found one yet and is already changing the cam in a 318 ...
Oh boy...
Did you order a custom grind cam? I've heard that's the way to go to get the most out of your combination. ThatNo disrespect to Lunati, but I cancelled my cam order with them last week. ordered a cam and lifters from them last April. Zero communications, and no answers to my emails. I'm done with them. Buh bye!

I sure hope soKeep on it Dan! It’s out there.
I don't think that you could buy one once a week unless you bought just any old thing. I don't mean to sound ignorant but I've been looking for months and I used a distance up to 200 miles from where I live and 99% where project cars, and I mentioned that I don't want a project car. If it needs minor cosmetic stuff done or interior work that's okay. I don't want a car that needs body work as I can't do that myself and it gets expensive quick. Let's be truthful here, a clean rust free "A" body is like finding a needle in a haystack. If I fly everywhere checking out cars that takes away from what I can pay for the car this is why I have to keep my search within a reasonable distance.Nice '70-74 Dusters are very easy to find. You only need 2 things: Money, and be willing to travel. I could buy one a week every week in 2022 if money and time to go get them wasn't an obstacle.
Site unavailableHere ya go. 12 seconds on the web, 340 so you can forget building the 318, use the money to install aftermarket AC. Done deal. Let us know when you get it home.

Wish I could afford it, sounds like a awesome car.I'll sell you my 1971 Dart. It has a/c and p/s and has over $20,000 alone in bodywork and paint with a brand new 340/727 and 8 3/4 rear. I'll need $45,000 for it though.![]()

Ok, so it comes down to "nice, quality driver Dusters with PS & AC are out of your price range. I'm not being ignorant, but I literally could buy 52 (amount of weeks) quality 318 Dusters next year between 15k-20k. But, probably not all within 200 miles. You can buy a car 2000 miles from you and pay a shipper to bring it to you. Good luckI need to stay within my budget, I'm not having a payment on a car that's just a toy
22k topsMind if I ask your budget?? Sorry if you posted it before.

I,000 for A/C, that's funny. Last time I checked on a ac system for a mopar it was closer to around 1,500 and that's without the pulleys and then there's freon etc.5k for a driver quality paint job, 1k for the A/C.

I'm limiting travel to 500 miles period. As I've mentioned before I don't have tons of money to travel around looking over cars.You need to expand your search miles.
In a big way.
Now you can just keep being a negative Nanny, and find 10k reasons why it all can't be done, and be a Eeyore. But here it is right here, and several members have installed them. A whole 18 seconds to type it in and see all they offer. Some don't want solutions, just mope about the problems...I,000 for A/C, that's funny.
