Nothing wrong with "Redneck" Jerry,,,
I mean, we are in Idaho, the whole country already thinks we are rednecks.

Is it just me or is anyone else sitting at work looking out the window at the grey wet sky and dreaming of a warm summer day sitting in the mountains grilling up some dogs outside the old motorhome.......... man I hate winter

Ya'll have a great monday......

I don't think anyones dying statement ever contained the words "I wish I had spent more time in the office", so lets go somewhere!

Hey Lt,
I use to own a Duster also '75. I used for a work car, mine was called a "Gold Duster", back of back seat droped down for a streight threw shot, from trunk to front seat. A very, very good mill, 225 slant six, great tribute to Chrysler's MoPar !!!! Thanks for the picture/memory.

thanks guys

John, isnt it cool how all of the most mundane cars of the 60s and early 70s are now classics?

Mines a 58K original mile 1973 Duster with a /6 and a 3 speed on the column but in a couple of years its getting a 340, a 4 speed, candy apple green paint and Im going to build a 70s retro hot rod to match the orange shag carpet in the Dodge RV. Theres only Mopars parked at my house (and campground) and the classics are the best!

Sounds like fun Jerry, I am sure you can make it... your making great progress.

LT, my duster was a 72 with the slant six and 3 speed on the floor... it was green as well.... wish I still had it, it was a pretty mundane car but a good one.

tree seeker thanxs for the link.

heres a new topic,has anybody experienced vapor locks in there rv? i read somewhere that the older carbed ones like we have are notourious for that...?

Yep, most of us probably have. We re-routed the fuel line since we removed the mechanical pump anyway and ran it on the outside of the frame rail, where it'd get more cool air, then up the back of the engine to the carb. Keeps it away from most of the heat. That's the second re-route....the bf had it inside the frame rail the first time and we had major vapor lock going up a 6,500 ft hill on the PA turnpike in 94° heat. He re-routed it while we sat on the shoulder 1/3 of the way up.

You can add a small electric pump back near the tank to help push the fuel if you don't want to completely remove the mechanical (we did it when we added 2 tanks to make switching easier without the expense of a 3-way switch) pump and just use it as a pump helper when you need the most fuel, like going up a big hill.

Another option, thought up by Griff, is to add a marine bilge fan under the doghouse to remove some of the hottest air.
