1973 blown hemi duster pro street my friend car only been a street car. I may trade for 59-60 bagged Cadilac maybe something that is nice. This was my friends pride and joy. Sat for a year while dealing with the courts. Rebuilt the carbs and fired right up. Drove it on a trailer and in my garage. This not my style of car only reason I'm selling. This does or does not need some work. The front bumper is in primer. The hood needs some zeuclips and needs or doesn't need some repairs (usally the hood stays home) some scratches on the body riff has a spot that could use attention or not. It's a beautiful car has a stripe down the side that is only seeable in the sun. Ask questionsYou can see this car on YouTube hemi Fred's prostock dusterBe glad to give you the 4-1-1.

This was in 85º air, coasting the last 150 feet, with a rookie driver behind the wheel.
If you're not going to use the water/alky injection system, then I would suggest disarming it by unplugging one or more wires from the pressure switch located behind the blower. It's that weird looking thing with some flimsy white plastic on it.
My linelock wires have a weatherpack connector, and plug into the back of the steering wheel.
Water pump and cooling fans are on manual switches only. So, turn on the water pump when you fire up the engine. I usually turn the fans on when the engine temp hits 180º.
When the engine is cold, give it two half pumps of the gas pedal, take your foot off the pedal, hit the start button and rotate the engine a couple times then hit the ignition. Pedal it to keep the revs u, until the engine warms up enough to maintain an idle.
I made my passes with the back tire pressure set at 10 lbs. It hooked up well, and gave good stability down track.
I shifted at 7,200 rpm. I don't know what rpm it crossed the stripe at, I was too busy hangin' on and looking straight ahead!!
I lash the valves at .014 cold.
It never hurts to install a fresh set of sparkplugs. I gapped them at .035.
That's all I can think of right now. If you have questions, just ask me.
