My Coronet Breathing life into the Daughters Duster...

[JimKueneman]

Fun day crossing the A-Body and B-Body streams! Using the Coronet vacuum to test the Duster's AC actuators! Unfortunately the Duster has a bad actuator and we have less than 8 weeks to get it ready for a 600 mile round trip to a show!

I know that this is a B body site, but we're definitely going to need more pictures of that sweet Duster.

318 with Toth Performance ported heads, Performer manifold, Wiseco Pistons (~9.2:1), CompCams low RPM torque cam (have to look up the number). I guess B1 Blue is a '72/'73 only option, Kaelyn opted to leave it the factory colors.

Easy solution....

Post less & work on the car more.

Tequila and posting in the evening after a long day of work is the only way I can keep my sanity and get up and do it again the next day!
