    91 Octane in a 340?

    My 69' 340 was rebuilt to stock specs,all original.91 octane nebraska gas and the engine runs fine, no ping. however for fun, I mix 2 gallons of 108 in the tank every once in a while,,just for entertainment. That Dart loves that!( 8.00 per gallon)

    Did not realize 3 speeds were avail. in E bodies..............

    is it just me, or does that transmission look a little funny to be in an E body?( no rear mount) I believe even the three speed needed the rear mount for the shifter, front mount for the B body.
