I don't think so The era of the mussel cars was in my hayday. I also kept good track of gas i used as it was a carry over from what my dad taught me on keeping records on your cars and equipment. Plus i was working as a Chrysler Plymouth mechanic , All i did da in and day out was mussel cars . was one of two that were certified on the Hemi's and went for training for five days when the 440 6 pack came out . The 71 Duster i owned was the 1971 show and test car that every car magizine test drove when i got the car after test driving it on the test track it had 856 miles on it and a bald set of G 70 14's on the back . Off the show room floor 13.23and 107 thru the quater , just leave it in drive and stand on it . My RR would run the quater in a 13.12 @109 Still have the time slip layen around along with the trophies . Now they were not as fast as my old Ford but they were STOCK with just fine tuning . So when it comes to old Ford or Mopar preformance it took and realy good wrench to out do me . I may be getting old but i can still make the old ones runand a lot faster then anything coming out of Detroit today . Like one day and old friend and i were talken and this old friend just happened to be the owner of the org. BIG BAD DODGE and he and i were talken abot the new Viper and how well it ran when i brought up let put my old Duster up against it in heads up title for title he asked me if i just wanted one for free as there was noway that the Vipe could take the duster and he was 100% correct , Off the line 0 to 70 the 340 Duster for 71 as tested the car i owned would do it in 4 seconds , in the 1/8 mile Duster against a hemi now we are talken the real Hemi you know 426 cid dual 4bbl. don't care what body it was in the 340 would knock it's socks into the creek . That little Duster was like Burger King took two hands to handle that whopper, because when ya poked it you had better be ready to drive.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga ...
