I've got the 68 formula S 4 speed cam in my 69 dart swinger automatic trans . It needs a little torq converter but runs well. It also has some lope to it .

Just checked summit , too much money for me . Mine is a plain old 4777 no dashes. Just don't want to spend that much and wondering how my Dart is gonna run with a 650 dp ?

Hey guys all I need is the base plate hopefully in good shape too for an older 650 double pumper . The ear is broken off of mine . Thanx, Charlie

Thanx for the response on this article guys, since I posted this I've added elec ignition and changed the rear gears to 3:91's . I have a holley 600 on it now and was wondering if a 650 double pumper would make a big difference ? Now it seems a little sluggish . By the way I do have the Formula...

I tried that adjustment on my swinger, when the throttle is at wot does the linkage just barely touch the throttle rod ? When I'm driving the car kinda easy it upshifts too quick ( it needs to rev a little higher ) Thanx for the help.

OK Thank you !

I finally got my 340 running good but I have to have the distributor vacuum advance rotated way forward towards the intake manifold. I don't really like this but I can leave it if I have to . I removed the dist. several times to clock the vacuum advance more towards the fender, keeping my marks...

For some reason that doesn't look like an OE Chrysler switch . Is it ?

I had a friend at a machine shop fabricate an aluminum flat mounting pad for the ecm on the bottom side of the distributor , very much like the one sold over the net . Thats why I was asking about the wiring too. Thanx for the reply

Wow thanx guys now I can get her running this week ! Im really excited because my little 340 ran pretty good with that old worn out distributor , can't wait to see how it'll run now plus I'll get to tune out the Holley .

OK guys I bought an electronic distributor for my 69 dart with a 340 , also got a Delco electronic module (hei) and mounted it on the bottom of the distributor . I know the 2 wires from the dist. plug into the module and the other side plugs into the coil but my coil only has 1 terminal , what...

How about a 4b cummins ? I put one in a 1970 chevy short bed 4x4 and know its heavier than a big block.

OK guys all I can afford for my 340 Dart is one or the other distributor . Which one would you choose , hopefully by experience . Thank you .

I found out today my point distributor is worn out. I've been looking at electronic ignition and buying a distributor from O'Reillys (cardone) but not too sure of the quality. Does anybody suggest a good rebuilder or should I just find a core and rebuild it myself ? I can't afford much (MSD...

do you know the make of the dist ?
