with more searches,These carbs are likely too big for a 340. Here is a quote from a tripower site about the 4782 center & 4783 outboard carbs: " As Tom Vaught from Ford Motor Company indicates, these were developed specifically for Ford for the 429 6V intake as well as the BOSS429. They...

I did modify a Mr gasket Chevy thremostat housing to work. I think Obrien Truckers might have the finned air cleaners I need. Some web searching on the carb to find the proper baseline main jets, I found the same info on the carbs. They are definately Mopar high performance replacements for...

Thanks to all who replied. I will get what head numbers I can see. John; thanks for the reply. I already cut the risers, but did so in a way that they can be re-used with long studs. Can you post any info on the air cleaners you have? I found them on ebay when you showed them a long...

Gas is going down; it's time to add more carbs :)

Where would I see the AAWJ? The 360 is all by itself from what I can see. There is a casting number also, I may be able to see the whole number

These were ID'ed as older "direct connection" over the counter carbs for "off road use". They were auctioned as Tripower Vettes, but some onlooker knew the numbers and posted the info on what they really were. They are mechanical outboard carbs, not vacuum controlled.

These covers are OLD, and there is no PCV, so maybe they were designed for 273s when the 273 first came out. Thanks for the info.

I have a 69 Dart with the wrong 340. It has a 73 340, but the heads say 360 inside the valve covers. -what else should I look for on the heads to know how good?..or bad? I am putting on a 6 pack with a shortened-down intake so I have room for air cleaners with the stock GTS hood...

I sure don't think they are "widened" stock 5.5 GTS/340 wheels...the profile is all wrong on the dish part. The deep dish on a OEM 5.5 GTS wheel are flat surfaces...the ebay ones sure do look slightly slanted just like the chrome reverse 7" wheels made back in the early 70s. I asked the...

WoW.. On ebay right now and are over $130 as I write. It took me a while to figure out what they were at first, but I finally noticed they were a true reversed wheel and it sure looks like they were chrome at one time. Yikes, I wonder how high they will go? keyword search: Mopar a body dart...

I think I will just widen a set of GTS steelies and use cheater slicks. I'm tired of looking for impossible parts...takes the fun out of the car? I have 7 GTS wheels with 4 button caps, a set of big & little Centerlines, but the rears are wider than the front and the offset is WRONG for a...

Well, thanks to the link from 360scamp, I searched that site and it looks like a T70 American Racing. They had snap-in caps. There are new orig & repro T70 caps on ebay, but these 4"BC wheels might take a special cap with reliefs for the lug socket to clear? I just did some "T70 American...

I think I have 2 coming for the front of my 69 Dart. Supposed to be around 6" on 14". What sizes were available? Just one, I'd bet? What are the chances of ever finding a pair for the rear, or are they not super rare? Anybody know if this wheel looks correct or anything about the style...

On Chevy casting numbers, I usually just google: Chevy, casting, XXXXXXX. The casting number is on the back of the block. Now, if it turns up as one that may be for a performance car, you need to get the letter codes off the pass side stamping pad. That will narrow it down plus maybe bring...

I bought a 69 340 swinger when it was 6 months old and 13,000 miles. They were tape. 100% positive.
