1970 duster Kinda pro-touring, somewhat lo budget build

previous total: 7795.30

parts updates:

battery cable and ends from autozone: 58.96

electrical goodies for the trans from modern driveline (forgot when doing trans swap) 46

TTI exhaust gaskets from mancini: 42

collector gaskets from oreilleys: 10.50

console and e-brake assembly from pull-a-part: 27.19

new total: 7979.95

ok, so first is the obligatory fancy magazine looking parts pic:

today after work I stopped and picked up 25 foot of 2 gauge, oxygen free copper battery cable and a pair of ends from advance. my wife helped me feed it through the floor to the starter while I routed it under the car, and my daughter sand vacation bible school songs to us. it was pretty neat. after I got done painting the frame on the el camino, I started working at getting it laid in and routed properly on the interior. before I could get too far, though, I had to clean it up. it was driving my BUGGY. so vacuum, scrub, prep for sound deadening, etc.

then, since I was already on the floor, I grabbed what may be the last of my leftover mcmaster carr dynamat, and applied it to the floor.

screwed down and secured my battery cable along the trans tunnel where it belongs

and then got froggy and started reattaching my foil backed jute. it’s a little scruffy, but I've got another layer of heat barrier to go over top, so it'll do. have to grab some more to finish where some wasn’t salvageable, though, as well as to do the drivers side of the firewall. I also test fitted my console.

fits like it was made for the car. absolutely great!! ill need to make some brackets for the floor, and figure out a way to hook up the hand brake to the factory rear cables. any ideas? and bonus points to anyone that can identify the donor. I know I'll need to clean it and dye it black, but now that I know it will fit and work, I can do that. and its also good that the console fits so well. I may have to split my front carpets in half to get them to fit properly. the new trans tunnel takes up roughly 6 inches more space, judging by the re-used jute.

good night everyone, and happy Easter.

It definitely looks like a GM console. Like maybe a trailblazer or something.

,nope. Ill give you a hint. Its a mopar product.

Durh 2nd gen neon.

Nope. But really close...

ok. first gen neon. second gen had an offset park brake lever and 3 cupholders. its also a little squarer and wider at the front. believe me, i thought about it....

I thought maybe 1G neon but thought the armrest was different.

previous total: 7979.95

money spent: 16.32 for insulation

new total: 7996.27

been working off an on throughout the week on both my cars, as well as OT at the day job and a little bit on customer stuff.

got the remaining jute glued back down, and finished off that half a roll I had left over from my AC install. insulated the rest of the firewall finally. I also removed the drivers side fresh air box, built a plastic plate that I didn’t take pictures of, and bonded/bolted it to the cowl prior to the insulation. really freed up a bunch of space.

I then used up my last of the double foil sided bubble wrap I've been using lately. used that over the pretty mangled jute. reason being that with all the damage to the foil on the jute, it had no appreciable heat insulating properties any more. so this, when installed, is about 1/16th thick and functional. not blowtorch on one side and hand cold on the other functional,. but hold a lighter there until it burns your thumb next to the botton and your other hand is just starting t regiseter heat functional.

had to buy another roll to finish. that’s where the money came in. I just glued it down over top the mangled jute.

then put the carpets out in the sun this morning to settle out from being loaded in the box for god knows how long. the mass backing makes this stuff very stiff and hard to work with, but it was much more manageable right after coming out of the sun. stiffened back up pretty quick, though.

got the rear piece laid in, and the only two required holes put through it. its some tough stuff to work with, but I had my wife sit in the car while I smacked under that floor pan with a rubber hammer. she said it was hard to hear the hammer blows, and heard them more from the open door than from the inside. so here's to hoping that this pain and aggravation and expense is worth it.

also went to pull-a-part with my dad yesterday. had to get some stuff, and I found my shift boot for the neon console. they didn’t charge me. I also looked at getting the neon park brake lever/console mount, but its held to the floor pan by close to 20 spot-welds. I think im going to borrow a cordless saws all, and cut the tunnel out. then separate at my leisure.

I never did finish the last round of updates, did I?

and now I have more going on, and haven't even caught up before.

I'm pretty sure you have to pay the tranny extra for that.

That's pretty damn funny right there.

previous total: 7996.27

apparently I never finished updating the interior redo.

it went very well, all things considered. the front carpets fit fine without having to split them at the trans tunnel. the mass backing I sprung for makes a dramatic difference in road noise and heat transfer. I have to say, I'm pleased with the ACC carpets and mass backing.

also, I really like the way the console/shifter/seats turned out.

I have driven it quite a bit since getting it all back together. have some unwelcome vibrations I believe are from the poly trans mount, so I'm figuring out a rubber version.

also, the rear axle proceeded to get much, much louder. driveline is standing behind it, so I pulled it and dropped it off with them.

[URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/004_zps071f6130.jpg.html][/URL]

I have also decided to dial the front end back a couple of notches as far as alignment, and raise it about 1/2 inch for more ground clearance. its just too damn low top drive like I want to....

My last update was 9/5/13!!!

Holy cow. Two years, three months, ten days.

I should probably account for that amount of time. Most of you guys have seen other stuff I’ve been working on, but for those of you that didn’t, ill provide links.

Short version: medical, house, life, automotive ADD.

Long version:

I’m a mental health clinician for my day job, ran the local hot rod shop for years for a side business, father, husband, son, and I think part magpie (ooh!! Shiny!!!). my day job has become more and more involved since moving into residential services, often requiring 80 hour weeks, no sleep, high stress, etc. very consuming job. Which means less time for other things. Also, my daughter has been becoming more and more involved in various activities, which I also like to be involved in to support her. So when I’m not at work, I’m there. And when I’m not doing that, I build cars for others. And when I’m not doing THAT, I’m fixing my own stuff, and renovating the house. Obviously, not a lot of hours left over there. Well, couple of years ago, it became apparent that I needed to become more involved in the bodywork on my El Camino. As seen here: https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/project-drivabeater-20-64-el-camino-this-time/60101/page1/ so that sidetracked me considerably from the duster.

Spent a lot of hours at the body shop, and a LOT of money. During that period, driveline specialties rebuilt the rear end again, making it quiet. Apparently their previous supplier had some troubles with the gears, and then went out of business. They honored it anyway. Very great guys. I also realigned the car, and daily drove it through that January and February when my daily was down. I also broke a lowering block while dialing the car, and wound up doing the hanger flip instead. Lowered the rear too much, but never got around to a solution.

In April of 2014, I was helping brother Dustin build his woodshop. It had started raining, and we were almost finished. So I decided to be superman. Carrying a couple of sheets of¾ ply above my head in the wet grass, I slipped. Hurt my left knee and ankle pretty bad. Couldn’t push in the clutch anymore, so the car got parked. I limped along for a few months, and finally went to the doctor. Turned out that I had shattered my left ankle, and that my knee would mostly heal once it was rebuilt. So September of 2014, I had reconstructive/repair surgery. I was able to try to drive the car again in January 15. I managed to make it to Indian trail (about 60mi) before the interior filled with smoke. Dash fire. Crap. So had it towed home, and put it in time out to think about what it had done. After fighting, and losing, with the comp claim through insurance, I was pretty disgusted. I also had to rebuild my deck, and the shop needed a major overhaul before I could really work down there. So we jerry rigged the car back together to run long enough to drive it down to dads. That was in April or so of this year, at the same time that I decided to close down the shop. It was no longer worth the time/money that it was taking/making. No longer made me happy like it once did, either. The duster has been living in the corner down there since.

While it was out of the way, I did this: https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/dusterbd-does-a-low-budget-shop-rebuild-not-the-grosh-caliber-but-still/103346/page1/

So, with those small projects finished up, and a status update on my life out of the way, I guess we get back to the intent of this thread: converting a duster to a pro-touring car, on a budget.

Where the car left of:

Burned up wiring harness. Bad vibrations in the driveline. Stiff clutch. Piss poor running. Dead spot in steering. Back end too low. Various creaks/bangs/pops from the suspension. Ac intermittent. Electric fans making noise. Brakes making noise. Parking brake inoperable. Various leaks. Drivers side window tracks need work. Console needs dyed. Needs cleaned everywhere.

The previous budget: 7996.27

Money spent (the best I can remember)

Edelbrock fuel rails: 110

Tanks inc in tank pump: 235, summit racing

Roll of steel fuel line: 21 (oreilleys)

91 corvette ECM with MEMCAL 45 (carguts in south carolina)

Adjustable fuel pressure regulator, ebay 21

Ez mini 21 circuit harness, ebay 135

Kenwood 3 channel amp, swap meet, 20

Polk dash speakers, pull a part 12

Memphis belle 6x9 speakers, free

4 gauge amp wiring and terminals, free

Battery jump terminals, 17 ebay

New total: 8612.27

So this past month, I decided it was time to bring the old girl back out of the time out corner. I started in on finally finishing the intake that I began to convers for port efi. It needed lots and lots of work to finish. So I pulled it, my magnum fuel rails, etc. off the shelf. I also learned, somewhere in the last couple of years, that the GM ECM I plan on using does not like a fixed fuel pressure. The ecm works better with a vacuum referenced regulator. This meant that the single inlet, return less, magnum rails would need to be modified to work. Instead, I spent the good money on a set of edelbrock aluminum fuel rails. Easier to set up as a return style, easier to mount, and look better.

Anyway, I pulled the parts out of storage, and this is what met me:

Half finished, mostly butchered intake. [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151203_145157_zpsg9qhjlji.jpg.html][/URL]

Melted injector pintles on my 30lb injectors: [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151203_141840_zps9w04nbdm.jpg.html][/URL]

Shiny box of fuel rails: [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151211_210010_zpsw8s7mthx.jpg.html][/URL]

Ebay sourced vacuum referenced fuel pressure regulator: [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151211_210002_zpsmhwlqheq.jpg.html][/URL]

So I got to porting. Took more than a couple of hours, but the intake runners/bungs are done. Still need to decide what to do about the plenum, if anything. [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151212_210750_zpsv98aml37.jpg.html][/URL]

Mock up with a spare set of ls1 injectors (26lb), edelbrock fuel rails. The 30lb test out fine, and will be rebuilt with new o-rings and pintle caps. What happened was that when we welded the bungs in, we used the rails and injectors as a jig. Too much heat. Only a few got melted, and those seem to be fine. [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151212_210742_zpsaxql987v.jpg.html][/URL]

I got excited to see this setup this close. So I grabbed the 4bbl throttle body and the used 7727 ecm harness off the shelf and started a further mock up. The throttle body hits the fuel rails pretty badly. The harness needs altered significantly from its time powering a tuned port corvette. But it all will work together. A 2 inch open spacer will be used under the throttle body, which will allow it to clear the rails. Additionally, with the shorter throttle body and taller spacer, its still ½ inch shorter than the 950/1 inch spacer I ran on this manifold before. I can also drill and tap the spacer for my power brake/pcv ports, and my intake air temp sensor, thereby cleaning up the engine visually.

Nest up, I moved onto the fuel system for the efi conversion. Initially I had planned to use an in tank module from a late model gm product based on some write ups I found on the internet. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a pump that would fit that would feed the small block in the duster. Rather than being faced with finishing another module and section of fuel tank to section in, I hit the easy button. I ordered the tanks inc pa-4 module with a walbro 255. 235 from summit, free shipping. I had debated between this and a surge tank/dual pump setup. I’m running that version on my elky, and have been impressed with its performance. However, I didn’t want to have fuel components inside the trunk of the car, and the pa-4 should clear the trunk floor with a couple of hammer whacks. So I went with the pa-4. [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151208_183452_zpsoc6nylmp.jpg.html][/URL]

So this past weekend was the install time. I went down, and took some time out pictures. Here is where we started at. Car has not been moved, or touched, since april.

Parts I started acquiring are in the trunk where they landed when they came in. new harness to replace the burned up one. New amp to replace the dead ones. Jump terminals. Etc. misc duster parts in a duster shaped storage box. [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151202_185243_zpsjv9voddg.jpg.html][/URL] [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151202_185255_zpsnki6c45p.jpg.html][/URL] [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151202_185213_zpsoxjtaqd6.jpg.html][/URL] [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151202_185127_zpsksijdzfq.jpg.html][/URL] So Friday after work, I went down and got the car started. Fired up easier than it had any right to, but ran like crap. Eh. Don’t care. Its going efi. Drained the tank using the Holley pump (which I will NOT miss the noise of) and dropped the tank. Sat it outside to air out for a while. [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151212_095839_zpswee3pfis.jpg.html][/URL] [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151212_082250_zps8tluzgwz.jpg.html][/URL] Proceeded to run the new feed and return lines. Decided on 3/8 for both to ensure an adequate safety margin for whatever I decide to do to the car later. Ran it along the sub frame connectors, through the t-bar cross member, and up the firewall, as well as into the trunk. Cut and flared the ends for AN flare nuts (had them). Green is pressure, and runs along the firewall to drivers side of the engine. Silver is return, and stops on the firewall near where the HVAC lines come out, as that is where I will mount the regulator. I made sure to route them in a way that in the event of a hard front end impact, they should not get severed. Fire bad. [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151212_095855_zpsgyywge27.jpg.html][/URL] [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151212_095905_zpsaefew0zx.jpg.html][/URL] [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151213_141033_zpsdiimhk4j.jpg.html][/URL] I then moved on to the pa-4 install. This is where things get interesting. I had to modify a gas tank full of extremely explosive gas fumes. Effectively, I’m adding heat and possible sparks to a giant bomb. Oh my. The safest way I could think of to do this was fill the tank with water. I put the fill tube in to make the water level higher, and proceeded to use a harbor freight 4.25 hole saw to cut into the tank. Worked well. Water came pouring out. [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151212_095917_zps9wlfbtkr.jpg.html][/URL] But at least the inside of my tank is squeaky clean. That makes me happy. [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151212_111633_zps78zzjv7y.jpg.html][/URL] Got the mounting ring all set up, and decided that if I ever had to service the pump on the side of the road, life would be much better if the ring didn’t fall to the bottom of the tank. So best way to solve that would be to tack weld it in place. It blew up. But only a little. [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151212_120249_zpsrfwoli3q.jpg.html][/URL] [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151212_111622_zpsbpf4xq07.jpg.html][/URL] Apparently what had happened was there was an air pocket in the tank that wasn’t filled with water. It was filled with explosive gas fumes. When it went off, it blew half the tank of water out through the hole for the pump. Shot it high enough it was dripping off the roof of the garage. It scared me. A lot.

Anyway, I finished up the pump assembly. [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151212_133417_zpstxxawntf.jpg.html][/URL] I then proceeded to go to mount it in the car. I thought I would have enough clearance to snake the lines out between the trunk floor and tank. Big old hairy no. What I wound up with: [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151212_145942_zps09jr3i6u.jpg.html][/URL] Ill make a cover that covers the pump assembly and seals it outside, as well as protects the lines. But the cover will be easily removable for side of the road service if ever necessary. The lines were rerouted to come into the trunk to hook up, and ill also mount a fuel filter in here. Guess I didn’t succeed in keeping fuel components out of the trunk after all…..

Anyway, filled back up with gas and hooked the carb system back up so I could drive it home. The gasket on the module is leaking, so I need to address that, and I also need to learn about tank venting and get that sorted out before hooking the whole efi system up.

But she’s home. And on the road to recovery. Still have a few other projects to finish before I blow her apart to address the long list of issues, as well as go efi, but it’s near the top of the list. [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151213_155153_zpsh1cuyjh0.jpg.html][/URL] Side note about budget line items: ecm is for the factory memcal so knock sensor and limp home will work. I lost mine. Polk and Memphis belle speakers, as well as amp, are for stereo upgrade. Jump terminals because I have a hard time reaching the battery being as fat and short as I am.

Now THAT is an update!
You are forgiven for the two year hiatus.

A.love the build b.does an efi type TB, In your case a 1000 CFM unit read air flow Different than with a carb , As in a 350 cu.in. only requires about 530 CFM to run well and produce A/F raito in the 12.5 area. a really BA engine of that size can benifit from a little more cfm. Is your TB size conducive to keeping it lean enough to make good Power and not feel like it's flooding in like a corner, or can a computer keep those Variables in check. I'm like Old and Retarded computer wise. this note took 45 min. Wish you lived in my HOOD, I feel I could fix most of that Push and roll for you,

the efi wont care how big a throttle body it has (to a point. you can get stupid...). its just an air valve at this point. it reads manifold vacuum from the map sensor, as well as temps, timing, throttle angle, etc, and squirts just the right amount of fuel in.

as far as the roll and push, its coming. part of it is spring rate, part is E36 M3ty shocks, part is E36 M3ty sway bar mounts. apparently, some is also worn components judging by the way it drove yesterday. so that will all come, but weve gotta get it running and safe again first. I do appreciate the offer, though, gtx.

So, budget first:

Previous total: 8612.27

Parts bought:

2 inch spectre carb spacer, and edelbrock 6an fuel filter from amazon: 54.06

½ thick carb gasket, oreilleys, 7.99

6an-18npt adapters, eBay: 7.80

Injector rebuild kit, eBay: 19.25

5x 6an push lock, straight, eBay: 25.20

2x 6an push lock 90: 10.42

2x 6an/6an adapters, eBay: 3.98

1x 6an-1/4npt, eBay, 2.19

6 foot aeroquip socketless hose, free!

New total: 8743.16

Not too much of an update. Mostly just collecting parts. AN plumbing is expensive, but I think I have everything I need except for the fuel rail fittings now. Im also hoping I can clear the hood at this point….

The intake/throttle body/spacer/air cleaner stack is pretty tall. But it had to be to clear the rails with the linkage on the throttle body. Only other option is to try and modify the throttle body by removing springs and shortening shafts. Or, ditch the 4bbl throttle body all together, and run a 454 TBI setup with the injector pod removed. Supposedly flows about 780cfm that way. We’ll see what happens when it’s all bolted together.

I also need to make rail hold downs. I’ll do that in the near future after the intake is painted, and everything is put together with wiring, etc to see what I have to do to clear stuff.

[URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20160104_072202_zpsvvgmwk9u.jpg.html][/URL]

Pictures of AN fittings: [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20160105_073454_zpsk3wwnylz.jpg.html][/URL] [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20160105_073508_zpsfdroizsw.jpg.html][/URL]

Lastly, I rebuilt and cleaned the 30lb injectors, as well as did some math. These are rated at 30lb at 43.5lb of fuel pressure. At 60lb, they will flow 36lb, which should be enough for 400rwhp. In theory, at least.

So we went from this: [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20151203_141840_zps9w04nbdm.jpg.html][/URL]

To this: [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/dusterbd13/media/duster/20160105_073442_zpsseyrlupn.jpg.html][/URL]

I think well be ok here. Worst case, I’ll pick up some newish 36lb injectors, and swap them out.

Lastly, I guess ill throw up a for sale ad here. I will no longer need the Holley blue pump, regulator, 750 edelbrock carb with electric choke, electronic ignition distributor, and pro-comp air gap intake. Figure a screaming deal at 300 plus shipping obo. If anyone is interested…..

Next up is painting the intake, modifying the spacer for some vacuum ports, mockup, etc. just chipping away at things.

Wowsers...

Induction system too tall? SHAKER!!!

It's been almost 3 years since my last post in this thread. Back then, I said I love this project. Now, older and wiser, I realize that younger me was a visionary. Still love this project!!!

That's a lot of car for that investment.

I'm thinking it'll be quite an appreciating asset when it's complete and sorted out.

Looks great.

The budget tally is just for what's covered in this thread. Not total investment. I've got at least 2k in the heads....

previous total:8743.16

money spent: iat/cts and various wiring connectors at pull-a-part: 21 correct 3/8npt to 6an fuel rail fittings: 25.91 6 feet 1x12ga steel: 14 new total: 8804.07

so ive been chipping away at this.
