Let's put it this way...I don't think you can go wrong with the comp 268AH. It's a nice step up from the stock 340 cam which is pretty mild. And a bit more lift than the new (old) MP cam I have.

I get the joke!

I noticed that too? Just use the "kit" number P4452761. Good cam but very old design.

I agree. The aftermarket designs have computer aided profies with faster lobes. My current favorite cam is Comp's magnum muscle 268AH-10 for a relatively stock LA engine with 9.2 or higher compression. A good bowl porting and three angle valve seats on stock heads is worth the effort and...

Been reading reviews for the Ramman which are mixed. I like his videos and he has been doing the brake booster/master cylinder/caliper restorations for many years. Before I send my precious Midland power booster and super rare master cylinder to him, I want to get members feedback. Please post...

Can the original disc brake master cylinder for a 69 Barracuda S car be used with rear disc brakes? If I remove the inline proportioning valve (using the available one piece rear brake line) I do not see any reason that it would not work. The dr. diff rear calipers would not require a large...

This COVID-19 stay at home order has allowed me to get back to assembling a '69 340. The body is '69 Barracuda S fastback, 727, 3:23, 245R60/15 rear tires. Engine is rebuilt 020 over short block 9.5 compression, 69cc X heads with bowl work/steel exh. seats and slight clean-up cut. I need to...

Yes, my installer used tape to hold the gaskets in place against the body then work the glass in the grove with pull rope. The rear gasket was a real hassle. When done the tape just gets trimmed with a razor blade. And yes, the rubber does not lay perfectly flat on the dash.

It's possible Precision has made mold improvements since I bought my gaskets over ten years ago, who knows, but the old gaskets fit poorly and had the same part number as their current gaskets. WCRD690 windshield WCRDB3847 back glass. You can't tell how good they will fit until you actually...

Thanks for the feedback.

Sure wish I had researched here before paying to have my new windshield and cherry fastback rear glass installed. My 69 Formula S is being restored at a shop and I have been supplying the parts I've purchased over the years as needed. I used old (new in the bag) PC (Taiwan) gaskets (my bad)...

Thanks for the lesson, I think. Yes, my heads were bowl ported. They were cc matched (68cc) and hardened exhaust rings installed. All separate jobs. The head builder called it a stage one. I agree no one has the same stage one work. But most gear heads understand that when someone says...

No racing intended. I had the shop rebuild the 340 to 9.5 static compression and had the hardened exhaust rings installed in addition to stainless valves for todays crappy fuel. I'm old school and we always called it pocket porting years ago. But now folks say "bowl ported". The plan was to...

This is the type of feed back I'm looking for. Thanks

Thanks!
