1971 340 Restoration reference photos

GY3 71 Demon said
In comparison with most of the photos I've seen, it seems (with the exception of the idle solenoid) my engine bay is pretty darn close to being how Ma Mopar set it up.

I don't have the idle solenoid hooked up because when I got the car it had an Edelbrock carb already installed. The car runs so well I don't really want to take off the carb if nothing is wrong with it. I actually have the original 71 TQ (needs a rebuild) and another correct TQ still in the vacuum sealed box. Anyway, since the carb is pretty much hidden by the air cleaner, I figure I can always replace the Edelbrock if it ever acts up.

In a few weeks we'll be going to the MATS - maybe I'll find an idle solenoid there. I know DCS sells them too.

Also, I'm sure there will be some original 340s in attendance in Vegas - I'll be sure and bring my camera!!

In the mean time, I would like to find a color photo of the PCV and grommet, the steering box, and the p/s pump & cap. So, other than that, I think I'm good to go for now.

Got some detailed pictures of your engine compartment?

PCV's are the smooth (not 3 ribbed) 70-71 type painted engine color including the grommet (you can by the correct grommet through Mopar still). The PCV is available repro

Power Steering box is painted semi gloss black. Return line has a flat spring ring clamp that is chinese red in color.

p/s pump is semi gloss black

What power steering pump do you have: Saginaw or Federal (round neck). Cap is silver cad and generally not painted.

Here's pics of Bill Sefton's survivor 71 orange motor Demon automatic.

"It does have an incorrect carb, it was replaced with a 72 TQ"
