I’m really wondering how you will feel about the transmission after putting some miles on it! Gearing up for a tko swap soon as well!

Well, i just got done setting the pinion angle with a handheld circular saw. So, hopefully it will be vibration free now!
I know it's still tender, but you've got to romp on it. Just a smidge.

Ok, I need pics and explanation of how to use the saw for this
No pictures.
The pinion angle was off by 8 degrees with the different leaf springs, hangars, trans, trans mount, etc.
I have aluminum lowering blocks on it.
I drew my cut line, clamped the block in my black and decker workmate in the driveway, and cut it with my porter cable 18v 6.25 circular saw with a crappy blade.

Soon. After i rebuild my faith in the car.
Adding back the missing timing fixed a lot of drivability issues.
Tach signal rock steady.
Pinion angle change cured vibrations.
The duster is BACK!
Still to do: set up gauges
Recharge air conditioning
Mount coil
Clamp leaf springs
Fine tune fueling on megasquirt
Fix erratic fuel gauge
And dirtydog: she'll roast tires in second from a roll now.
Parking brakes

Bigger amp for subwoofer

Im debating spending 120 on used tires to bring the steelies and dog dishes back. Part of me really wants to. The other part.....
Yes, im a wheel whore.
I see no reason for debate. Not my money, but make it so!
Really makes me miss my 75 Dart Swinger.
someday i'm gonna have lots of money, and i'm going to make you an offer you can't refuse. no car takes me from zero to bonertown quicker than this duster.

That may be the highest praise this car has ever received!
And that number is really freaking high. Staggeringly high.
Well done, and havin fun!!!!
In reply to Dirtydog :
looks great with the new hood!
You need to come up here and bring it to Mopar Nats and hang with us.
Ive long thought about doing the 340 duster stripes and hood.
Just can't bring myself to do it.i even bought a direct connection ducktail spoiler once, and the stencil for yhe hood.
The six pack hood like above just doesn't do it for me.
I had thought about doing the blackout package with plastidip, but yje experience with removing it from cars makes me question it.

Power tour and challenge are my trips this year .
But the nats are on my dance card.
You know the only true test to make sure you fixed the clutch is to do another burn out.
In reply to Stampie :
Nope!
5k miles this spring is the goal.
In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :
Nats are awesome, and we always have spare beds.
In reply to Professor_Brap :
Dad and I did Chrysler's at Carlisle a couple of times when I was in high school. I don't believe I've ever been to the Nats
In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :
The nats is pretty cool, they claim its the biggest Mopar event in the country.
It's a shelf. I have been wanting to driveit, but many other things have taken sunny day precedent
