According to one source that I have, the '70 340 Duster ran a 14.72 ET at 92.24 mph trap speed for the 1/4 mile. The source is an obsolete web site called Muscle Car Data Base. It was just a collection of magazine tests from when the cars were new. The Duster was 340/4speed with a 3.23 rear end. Advertised 275 hp @ 5000 and 340 lb./ft. @ 3200. Claimed a 0-60 mph time of 6.2 seconds.

Remember those were gross hp figures then and bias belted tires. Hope this gives some insight.
