hey guys
last night the wifey bought me ginger for my 32nd birthday
ginger is a 71 duster, slant 6 auto
she is in overall good condition
(44 year old car in michigan with a solid frame, heck yeah)
but there are a few things that will need attention
(and i do apologize for asking redundant questions, this is my first A-body)
there is a indicator lens missing
the HVAC controlls are frozen up
side window molding is missing
front and rear molding is painted black
a few pinholes in the spare tire well
and some loose wires i cant place ?
i will try and trace them down further tomorrow
also, what keeps the ashtray up and in place?
then there seems to be a little airleak between the intake runners (cylinder 3 and 4)
i shot some degreaser on the engine and there was a puddle there that was bubbling as the engine was running
any thoughts on what that might be ?
my plans for the car are upgraded brakes, 360 engine and a 727
would the 7 1/4 hold up to that ?
im looking at a engine and tranny combo from a 75 motorhome
the engine has 45K on it, doesnt smoke and runs 40 pounds of oil pressure at idle
this drivetrain is local to me and the seller is asking 400 for it
not sure if it is still installed and i can hear it run or not
would i be able to run my stock driveshaft with that combo ?
thanks for all the help guys
