340 General Rebuild Info- Cam Recommendations
OK, take 2.....website difficulties!
Had time to snap a few pics of the engine and bits. Guessing these are the "J" markings although they look like big "U"s..... Sooooo, actual valve size remains TBD!
Appears to be original carb, but not sure where numbers are and not worried at the moment...I know it needs an accel pump. Dist also appears to be orig. I can see tag on front of it, but can't get in to read what the numbers are.
It has this dual inlet "no snorkle" air cleaner on it. I would expect 71 to have heated air to the carb in CA??? So guessing that this is something that the prev owner swapped in?? I have more pic's of mystery items that I will ask about in the engine compartment but will save that for next post. Gotta go finish cleaning up a wheel rim....ugh!
Decal in trunk "says" Sure-Grip......but stickers only cost pennies to install..... Can't get under car easily at the moment.....cats let the air out of one rear tire.....and I can't put my hands on the other set of rear gears that "I think" came with the car.
Since this was a rare 8 speed car...... I checked out the second trans in the trunk. Hand written tag says that "he hope that the next owner chooses to install the stock scissors linkage" when the car is restored..... Any one have an idea of what Mopar may have called a scissors linkage? It's not in the trunk.....but could be in other milk crates that I put up above the office of my shop......so not really easy to get to either.....hate that....!!!
More later! Thanks in advance!
