The 340 is the biggest POS V8 Chrysler ever made.

What? Never had water in my oil pan. Never use studs on the exhaust. Ever. This distributor is in the back. Where it goes. If you want it up front put a belt drive on it. Never had an issue with the fuel pump mounting bolts. The oil pump belongs in the back of the pan. If you need it explained to you it won't matter.

Unreal.
Gonna have to agree with aracer. Distributor in the front, and oil pump up front is far easier to work with imo.
