100% and a big AMEN! It's a gorgeous car. How about some more pics...a general all-round and inside show? To the 'add this/check that' parts...why? 11" of vacuum is terrific! My 340 runs 5-6"...and the brakes work just fine (vacuum brakes), so what's to fuss with? If yours uses a quart of...

I'm impressed. Starting from 'Help, what's the problem?' to finding the problem, to resolving the problem...and that included engine removal, a head set AND cam replacement...all in one thread in a few days. Not saying it's never happened, just that it's unusual. I'm sure someone like...

I recently read about a dyno test that didn't go well. Nick's Garage. Blown head gasket. Oil feed. It gets smoky at 32:30, bad gasket at 48:30. You can't say you're so special as to be the only one! Not any comfort in that I'm sure. I never did find anything to read about the 'fix' or...

Hello friends, neighbors, and all-round well-balanced peoples: Seeing as this thread has somewhat to do with the comparison of particular manifolds, it might be a good idea to know/understand/read with comprehension (not that I'm famous for that) what IS being talked about. The OP asked a...

I do. That is a problem somehow? The link is attributed to the owner. That is intended as a response to something? I don't know what that might be. It's not a 'build'. It's a stepped process with performance numbers attached to each step. And having ended up with close to 400hp, how does...

I haven't noticed this posted, but I certainly don't read everything here. This link lists a reasonable step-by-step modification list for the 340 complete with dyno HP and torque numbers for each step. That the link was on the top of a google search about the 340 likely means it's commonly...

That's interesting. Mine are Hedman. They've been on for decades and aren't a problem exhaust-leak wise. The main issue is the RH rear bolt that is thru to the water jacket. That bolt will leak over time and take out a fiber gasket. My last gasket was a McCord. They are stout. IT would...

Thanks for the suggestions! :cheers: The only Percy gasket I found was their #66037. They have the same (wrong) square outside port configuration. Just like the Mr. Gasket #7166s, they are listed (wrong) for ''68-'73 340'. A Remflex #6027 set is on the way. At least their outside ports...

I'm not familiar with the product. What is it about them that you like? Are they reusable? I see now that the error is mine, not Mr. Gasket's. I had looked the PN (#7166) up, found it listed for the 340...'69 even. On the package, though, the 340 is not listed, only the 273/318. I did...

Anyone use these with satisfactory results? I jut put one on the right side of my '69 340, Mr. Gasket PN 7166. It ticks and pffts, leaks like a sieve. The outside ports of the gasket are rectangular, NOT the truncated angle of the exhaust port. I couldn't see what they looked like to...

Yep. My preference, too. :cry: Which is why I went with the original style when I replaced my starter a couple weeks back. I got the original style alright...Powermaster brand. I called the vendor (Summit) to make sure it was indeed the same size, 'cuz I didn't want fitment problems. I was...
