I ran a 700 double pumper with no choke on the 340 in my '65 Barracuda for about 40 years. Starting procedure was to simultaneously turn the key while giving the throttle a few pumps, thus effectively using the accelerator pumps to richen the mixture in the absence of a choke. Your air gap...

Did you ever find what you were looking for? I have the complete box, fan, and heating coil from my '65 Barracuda if you need it. It's in good shape except for the missing part of the cardboard backing plate.

I ran a 700 double pumper on my 340 with both 4-speed and auto--first in my '66 Valiant with 4-speed for several years, then 37 years in my '65 Barracuda with 727. Both cars had 4.30 gears; the 727 had only a shift kit, with stock converter. The 340 had purple shaft cam, Edelbrock LD340, and...

I never thought I would own a first-gen either. My high school hot rod in 1972 was a '66 Valiant with a 340 and 4-speed. I had always been a Chevy guy, but I wasn't going to go through my senior year in high school without having a hot rod, and I did what I could afford on a paper route and...

Sorry, I just saw your question; either I didn't get a notification or (more likely) I missed it. I was already doing a full frame with a roll cage, so we just made the frame rail spacing the same as that for an early Mustang so the Alumaframe system would fit. I suppose the stock front...

It's mine, but it wasn't at the MCACN. This picture was at SEMA 2019, and it wasn't finished then.

There wasn't much point in saving any original parts; none of them would fit anywhere now.

Appearances are subjective; I'm not offended if anyone thinks mine is ugly.

I decided to lose the front bumper on mine, so i f you decide to use a front bumper, I have one available. It's perfect, after $950 worth of plating from Advanced Plating.

You will be happy with Detroit Muscle products. I used them for everything on my '65.

How do they fit?

Did you change wheels? Those look very similar to mine.

This is what it looked like when we were planning on using an electric P/S pump.

Here's what mine looks like with A/C and P/S.
