Thanks Guys!

What do you mean "drive gear is in the proper way"? Thanks Joe

Just purchased a custom set of 8.5 MSD plug wires with the straight boots for the 340. No.7 wire is stretched across the engine and has very little slack in it, because it connects to the cap on the far side, ( passenger side). My No.1 wire is at the back of the cap against the fire wall...

What would cause the No.4 spark plug to carbon up on my 340? All the other plugs have a nice tan colour. Running Autolites 65. I might have a bad plug wire?? (Accell's) Timing is right on. Any ideas?

Shane Be carefull with 15" rims of the front. You could have problems with tire rubbing as you crank the wheel. I have 235 60 14 on the front of mine. I have 1/4" clear. Maybe low profile tires, if you like that look. Jim

The big block A bodies definitely needs sway bars, especially with the smaller T bars. Unless you canyon carve a lot, you can probably get away with just the .920 bars with a 340. Sway bars are nice though. Haven't got around to installing mine yet.

Everybody has their own preference as to how they want their car to sit. Mine had a lot of 'rake' to it when I bought it. After a complete front end rebuild, I cranked the front up a bit so it only has a little amount of rake. But I like the way it sits now. Had the alignment done based on...

If your rad is rotted, then obviously fix that first. Clutch fan is another good idea, and do that next. If you can't find the proper shrould, you can always make your own. I tried to make a bunch of them work and they just didn't. I was told they would fit, then they would not. I...

Shane I wonder if that aluminum flex tubing for dryer vents would work. I've seen that smaller dia., about 2" or there abouts???? Try Rona or Home Depot??? Worth a shot. Jim

The Right Stuff is the right stuff. Any auto supply house should carry it. I'll never use a paper gasket again. Awsome product!

I wouldn't be satisfied unless I gave it a good once over. Who knows what previous owners have done to the car. The front strut bushing could be installed improperly, creating the negative caster, could be in the steering box or coupler..... You need to isolate these parts one at at time...

I can swear in Italian...gonna have to brush up on the rest of it. "I wanna setta sputs- a- plog" Then I break out the sign language...should be fun!

Is your 340 really cammed and stroked? Got headers? 750 seems like a lot of carb for the RPM intake. The carb spacer helped a bit under the old Carter. My hard starting problems went away when I switched to a 650 Vac Holley. I was able to remove the 1/2" spacer, which affected the low end...

I think most of these boxes fail because of bad grounds, wiring, and corroded connections. Some components don't get a full 12v when they should, and as a result of increased resistance, the components get hot and fail. I believe my orange box failed as a result of some wiring problems I...
