Thankyou for the welcome...I was not sure how I would be recieved, being a female on here. I figured I would probably be ignored. I will try to post some pic.s when I figure out how.

welcome lady.....i am one of the female members here and this is a bunch of pretty cool guys.

as long as you like bacon and cars you will fit in very well with these cats.....looks like your already fitting in quite well.

are you running small bolt pattern or big bolt pattern on your sport roof .....if its small bolt you might be somewhat restricted on wheel selection

if its small bolt i think i have some 14x7 slotted mags .

Summit has some really good prices on Summit Brand wheels. Several different styles. If you are looking to stay stock Ralley Stockton was the place but they are gone now IIRC. Check the classifieds here as well some selling. Depends on how BIG you wanna go really.

Sure Missy, the rear wheels are 15 X 8 with 4 1/4 backspace, and a 275 60 15 tire, and the front is 15 X 7 with a 4 1/4 backspace and a 215 65 15 tire.

Thankyou Ranidart ! nice to be here ! I'm glad I'm not the only gal here. The car still has the small bolt pattern, ( I had to learn how to measure for this the other day.......LOL! but I figured it out.
 
Wow, glad to have you aboard, Missy. And that duster is in amazing shape!! I still can't get my head around the fact that some girls are so into cars. I never even met one growing up who was......so I find it almost amazing, but super cool.

So, is your duster in need of any work done to it right now? Let's see the engine!

Thanks Fanofpetty !! Gosh you have two really nice cars !! maybe sometime I could get a ride in your superbird. That car is beautiful, as I saw it at a show I think down in CT.

Another restriction is that it is a 14 inch wheel and biggest size tire available is a 245-60 which IMO is tooo small
Need some 275-60-15s... Fill wheel well nicely

Sorry mine looks like crap at the moment but you get the idea

heres what I know about the engine ( I have it all wrote down here)...71 340 original to the car. with a 484 cam, stock heads, and intake, headers, 750 holly carberator. oh and a shift kit, and 391 gears. This was all done to it when I found the car. It seems to run pretty good, ( fast ,at least for me...well actually, it scared the crap out of me the first time I floored it. LOL!) I will post more pic.s when I take some....

I have not driven the car all that much, but it seems to run good, and has no problem, like stalling, or overheating, or anything.
