1971 340 Restoration reference photos

GY3 71 Demon said
My car was originally sold at Spartan Dodge in San Jose - and is coded N95. I have the speedo sensor and the other emissions parts on the cowl and the back of the pass side valve cover.

The above photos are helpful but only to a point. There's a whole lot that is incorrect too (along with what has been mentioned, there's the 2-pulley alt., chrome oil cap, wires, hoses, etc., etc.).

Again, I'm not out to bash someone else's engine compartment, I'm looking for pictures of an engine that has been judged/determined to be all (mostly) correct.

I actually have some pictures from some of the mags back in '70 and '71 that differ a bit from this engine - I realize that there's often subtle differences in each car. And nothing is true across the board when it comes to what was original.

Thanks for your input, I'll keep looking...

You got to weed out the non original stuff and take info on the original stuff. The expendable stuff like hoses, belts, wires, alternator are not really a mystery. That stuff is fairly easy.

Most road test magazine cars were done with pre production vehicles. Not a great indicator of production cars. But the color pictures are helpful with type of appearance and textures of certain parts.

The oil filler cap is painted but paint mostly flaked off. What appears chrome might be virgin fresh cad plating.

Don't assume you are going to find a magic ONE car that you can just copy. You need to take info from various unrestored cars and even exceptional restored ones to make a case for every part. The repetition on unrestored cars makes your decisions more concrete. Build location and SPD factor in their too.

Again, what items do you need info on?
