Hi All, Yeah, if the header question is mine, the Doug's fit good but only after changing to a Denso mini-starter and modifying the clutch z-bar. Had to cut the inboard arm off and re-weld about 1/4 inch closer to bell housing to clear the innermost header tube. Also had to cut the tabs off...

I'm running an air gap on my 340 topped by an Edelbrock (Webber) 750 with a black wrinkle Mopar Performance air cleaner. Was nervous about clearance but the hood closes fine, no problems.

HOLY COW!! I must be gettin' old. I already replied to this thread.... Sorry! 10k is a bargain. I'm nearly 3 times that into my 69. Once you get started, well...we all know what happens. Only did it because it was an original car with the drive train still intact. Thank God the big...

Sounds like a viable alternative. SSBC wants 395.00 plus tax for their booster kit. What it amounts to is an electric air pump that has to be mounted and wired. The intake gets capped and the pump does all the work. Not quite ready to spend that kind of money. Thanks for the suggestion. Jim.

Thanks for the reply Adam, here are the specs on the Comp Cam. Hydraulic - strong torque and throttle response, 2200+ stall. Comp P/N: 20-224-4 Cam grind number: XE274H RPM Operating Range: 1800 to 6000 Duration: in: 274 ex: 286 Lift: in: 488 ex: 491

Hi George, Check valve looks good, had it checked at the shop that did my front end this week. The car brakes normally going down the road but brakes hard when sitting at idle, strange, as I would expect it to be opposite to that according to my understanding of how vacuum pressure is...

Hi Gang, I converted the fronts from drum to disc using SSBC conversion kit for 69 Dart, including a power booster. I put an oversized comp cam in the 340 and am not making enough vacuum pressure at idle to effectively power the booster. The booster works fine as rpm increases. I've heard...

Thanks DartFreak!! That would be a life saver.

Thanks Beastie! Big help. GTX: as far as I know only the base swingers got this treatment on the trunklid. Thanks all for the replies!

not a bad idea. I have a friend that's a shop teacher. Offered to cnc me one out of billet if I could get the dimensions. Would you be willing to measure yours, photograph?? maybe we can start a cottage industry.

You said it! I've only seen one on EBay, stopped bidding at $200. The emblem sold for 325.00!! For a two dollar piece of pot metal!

Thanks for the reply!

block letters, not cursive, upper case: DODGE unsure of the length but two mounting pegs not three. the three peg is the hood emblem. Thanks, Jim
