Post '73 Duster....not '72

I previously posted about this car in a category that wasn't as appropriate as this one...... http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...31#post1304931

I want to do more than get it running but I don't know where to start. As you can probably tell by now I know nothing but I have friends that can help me fix it up...

What should I do to it?? It's rust-free and ran when it was last used in 1998.

Thanks

Re: '72 Duster

And can you tell whether it's a 198, 225, 318, or a 340 from the pics?
