Thanks for sharing the pics..........looking good.
I always liked the Duster / Demon better than the Challenger / Cuda's.

Flash UPDATE:

Motor under construction at Steve Atwell's. Since we aren't racing and won't likely be P&G'd on the show
field we opted for an aluminum headed 572 (it will all be painted).

Other details held close to the vest at this time but suffice it to say that it will look and sound the part.

Does anyone have a color picture of a 75+ Leal 16-plug Hemi that shows the color of the spark plug wires?
The only pictures I have (from the Peterson archives) are B+W. I didn't ask if anyone remembers what color
they were because, well, you know......

Last pics (as far as I know) for final test fitting of dummy motor, trans, headers and clutch linkage
before disassembly for finish painting. Everything fits great with proper clearances; clutch linkage
works like butter.

They appear to be red in this picture:

Thanks Charlie. I've got that picture but that is a different car.

His '73 Pro Stock Duster. Mine is the '75 B/MP Duster (picture below).



I did just buy a set of doors off of the tribute car for the '73 Pro Stocker (for wall hangers).

As heavily researched as I know your car is. I was guessing you had that picture already. Most of what I found from that era , and I am sure you have also, either had red or gray wires.

IF they were Accel spark plug wires, they were definitely yellow.
