Re: PLYMOUTH DUSTER INTERESTING READING

That's was great, but also annoying. If the options were similar for a 1973 it seems the original buyer of my car could have got a tuff wheel for just $10 (additional cost with the deluxe interior which was optioned) Sure grip is a bit more at $41. Everything else on my car is fine as it is. I'd eve...

Re: Compression problem

Until I dropped the coolant I thought everything was great. Nice idle, no smoke, drove well, always spins well on starter but takes a while to start when cold but always has done. Put that down to the thermoquad. Should have head off next week. Fingers crossed nothing too expensive

Re: Compression problem

The coolant was pretty sludgy when I changed it and worried about it being a head gasket. Flushed it, ran it a while and has been OK since. Thought I'd do compression check as back up.

The car runs OK, no smoke or other problems. My question is could I use the car for some shows this ye...
