    My 340 getting 6 mpg

    With manual trans I would go Holley double pumper. Maybe compression test and hook an air/fuel ratio gauge up see whats going on. Lastly go new carb not some old unknown carb.

    Tremec Speedo Cable

    When I got kit from Silver Sport they already knew what length was needed for the given car. Then needed rear axle ratio for the gear that goes in the trans.

    Tremec Speedo Cable

    The one Silver Sport gave me in my 6 spd conversion kit hooks to trans and stock speedo no adapters. But like said above you'll have to call them cause they don't have everything on their web site.

    Torsion Bar won’t fit

    Had a similar issue after I changed torsion bar cross member during floor replacement. One sat in hole like 1/4 inch deep and one not far enough in to get snap ring in. Measured everything for countless hours, and then more hours on top of that, and that all seemed to check out. I ended up...

    MOPAR Dead?

    My buddies must have been a '98 because I know it was the first year of the LS that detail I am sure. Decades ago when he bought it new I know it was an LS so I have to be wrong on the model year. The '98 Camaros had the different headlights so those were more obvious to tell the LS from the...

    MOPAR Dead?

    Ford decided years back to invest in things such as dual injection ect so they would be able to meet modern EPA and CAFE standards. A lot of '24 Mustangs have Gas Guzzler tax in window stickers. Stalantis decided not invest in V8s milk it for all its worth short term profits was the strategy...

    MOPAR Dead?

    Stalantis dismantled the SRT group several years back. So the plan to phase out Hemis Hellcats etc was made many years ago. Stalantis made a lot of money on that aging platform it was a huge cash cow and they milked it good for a long time. Go hang out on Hellcat forums most over there are...

    Tar-like undercoating on 63 Valiant...any way to remove it?

    I sprayed that Goo Gone Automotive Gel on frame rail, let it sit 4 hours or so, sprayed it again, then used metal putty knife. About 5 minutes of scraping and it broke free and left surface looking pretty good. Mine is a factory undercoated car but I think I spray bombed some more under...

    Headers, TTI or Doug’s?

    No just the standard chrome like finish.

    Headers, TTI or Doug’s?

    TTI installed around 2009. Overall I really like them despite they started rusting around 2-3 years of garage kept car. I had to shim motor mounts and slot K-Frame to push engine/trans back some. Once I got engine positioned correctly then good clearance and NO dents were needed. Keep in...

    Headers, TTI or Doug’s?

    Yeah mine started rusting after a few years. I drove my car in the rain one time maybe that caused it?

    1st/2nd Gen Barracuda Handling

    If the bushings get rotted or the ball joints tie rod ends pitman arms steering boxes ect get worn these cars handle like crap and won't corner at all. But if all the suspension components are in 100 percent top notch condition these cars corner fairly well in stock form is my experience.

    1st/2nd Gen Barracuda Handling

    Watch some old road test reviews on youtube. What do you see? Vintage musclecars being thrashed around race tracks through the curves to assess how well did they corner and brake. So it wasn't always all about straight lines.

    1st/2nd Gen Barracuda Handling

    My '69 steering suspension is rebuilt with rubber bushings, original 340-S torsion bars, stock front sway bar rubber bushings, and replacement rear leaf springs from ESPO. Rides very nice takes bumps well and goes around the corners out on country roads well. I do have aluminum heads and...

    Kelsey-Hayes replacement

    I been running EBC Red brake pads on my original disc brake setup on my '69. Stops good and I don't see any scoring on the rotors. 7/8" rear wheel cylinders help a lot too.

    Carb heat shield . . . anyone try this?

    I ran one of these when I had a Carter carb on my old 340, worked great: http://www.jegs.com/i/Edelbrock/350/9266/10002/-1 The fuel would still boil out over night but it solve the embarrising no start issue when I would stop and get gas or get ready to leave a car show. It is specially...

    340 manifolds..

    The '71 and up 340 pass side manifold has a center outlet and is more restrictive.

    340 manifolds..

    Usually in the $350-$400 for a good used set. They do reproduce them too for $600 a pair or something like that.

    410 stroker build?

    I would go 360 block and ported Edelbrocks. Those prices Brian (ou812) posted up are pretty good considering you are getting a bolt on ready head matched to your cam. When selecting heads you have to take into account valve springs/locks/retainers which will need to be upgraded on most heads...

    Dougs or TTI Headers?

    TTIs fit great on my car once I got the engine sitting in the right location.
