“ I was told “ falls into the same category as “ The seller states”. People flipping or helping sell vehicles they know NOTHING about. These half *** frases keep them from being held accountable when the deal goes bad. We were TOLD the car had a 340 in it. Sorry you paid 40 large for it and it...

Purchased a 1970 swinger 340 fall of 1983. The person I bought it from had it a year and created a bit of law trouble with it. His father said it has to go..!! The dad made me supply proof of age (18) at the time. Car was previously a drag car converted back to a street car.The kid had old drag...

Yes…. I use vortex cones in my drag bike exhaust to meet requirement. NO they do not decrease power or change the e.t. AT ALL..!! They also do not reduce noise to speak of. Just in there to meet spec if you will….Swingn’

I owned a 70 swinger 340 originally f4 and black interior. Not sure about tail stripe code. Not savy enough back then to de code the whole tag..!! 4sp power steer, black vinyl top. From nov 83- march 94. Last time I saw it for sale done in black on e-bay out of Florida around 2007. Ad said one...

Yes. Wheel vintiques offers 4” wide 15” wheel in both 4” bolt circle and 4 1/2” bolt circle. I have NOT personally used them. They do show them on there website. I have also been told they back order these fairly often. Also $$$$$$ @ roughly 350..+ each they are bit on the pricy side…Swingn’

Interested…Is the picture for reference only..?? The carb in the photo is not an AVS. It is an AFB. Please advise. Thanks.

Yep..!! Like the numbers on that cam..!! Driveability is the key here. Looks as though it’ll need a decent spring @ 500 lift. The numbers @ .50 look like the torque should be right in the area you use it the most. Good luck..Swingn’

Getting back on track, the op is asking about 15x4 wide and 4” bolt circle..!! I too would like to know if any of these can be had.The only thing I know of in the past were custom units..Swingn’

Yep..!!! I also ended up with the hose job on the first go round..!! First thing I thought of when the op said IF you add another year you get a free sub..!! “ This fish stinks from the head down”..!! Col Flag M.A.S.H. 4077..Swingn’

That should read. “Dim with the headlight switch”…sorry for the typo..swingn’

I did the same thing. Yes auto meter is white for light feed. Yes also if you want to dim with the headlight use the orange wire(s). And as said provided you know where the orange wires come from and go on your specific model..Swingn’

Only one of the examples you show is actually for a 1970. The others are for earlier barracuda’s. (No wood grain). Yes if you have to have the chrome bezel with all the proper inlay. You are stuck with a good size bill..!! If not you can do quite a bit of home resto for not a real lot of money...

Great news..!! I was just trying to find some current info on him this past Sunday. I didn’t see much. Thanks for posting. Not many of us Massachusetts guys, we need to look out for each other..!!

Boosted probably has the info you are looking for..!! Sounds promising..!! 1/8” in A body header clearance is a country mile..!! And Beast is right on..!! The more they cost the less likely you want to whack them with a hammer..!!

I have NOT used the Doug’s 453’s . I have installed many other brands in various A body’s. As soon as you mentioned ps I think you are on the right track. Ps makes this job MUCH closer in proper fit. The less expensive headers just don’t do real well with the ps. Maybe also TTI but check with...
