I was supposed to take my red Duster to a TNT in May to race a vette but last weekend it flattened a lobe on its cam so I am done for a while. I told more than a few people that I was going so enter my wifes Duster just so we can go and still have fun with friends and family. My wife wants us both to drive it so she can make her first pass down the dragstrip and get to see whats its best is with me driving.
1973 Duster 340 with a stock 69 340, 1 5/8 headers 2 1/4 exhaust with flowmasters. It has a 600 edelbrock carb on it and that is all, its stock. A 727 trans with a 3.21 geared open 8 1/4, the car has power steering and air conditioning no other options. what will it run?

I've never raced at Ubly, but I bought a place up there pretty close so that may change

Its a peg leg, but she's pretty controlable from a dig. With the 3.21 she's a bear from a 40 mph roll! LOL

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't it an AC car ?? Glad the wife had a great time. Congrats to her.
