Mancini used to carry a drop-base air cleaner pan. Maybe still do or you might search one out.

That position of the rotor can all also be changed by moving the position of the drive gear. [Lift it up, turn it and drop into different position] Factory has the slot pointed towards #1 cylinder. Obviously, that is where the rotor should point when that cylinder is at TDC. Attachment of the...

No spark? Check the coil! Over the years, I've had 2 go dead. I carry a spare

Mentioned were Edelbroor Performer, TrickFlow, Speedmaster and ProMax heads. What about the 1970 and 71 stock 340 heads with the large 2.02 valves? Are any of those aftermarket heads better/worse? The literatures says "increased performance". Performance doesn't necessarily effect gas mileage...

ATM?

34 degrees total timing [VA disconnected] is very close to the "magic number". My 340 initial timing is set at 10 degrees, which gets there. I guess every distributor mechanical advance must be somewhat different, so you might want to play with initial a bit.

I have great luck with my Quick Fuel 680 auto choke

I looked at all the charts for the 340 engine colors. However, I am the original owner of a 1971 340 Duster. Built April 1971. Engine came BLUE.

I had a similar situation last year. Driving and car started bucking. I pulled over and the engine died. It turned over but wouldn't start. Fortunately, I carry all the necessary spare parts and basic tool kit. Checked; gas getting to carb . . . yes. Spark . . . no. BTW> if car starts but...

Why are you removing the sealing washer? I'm thinking that is bringing your plugs a bit closer to the piston, causing the breakage.

You'll most likely also need to install a mini-starter. Install the TTI headers 1st. I think TTI instructs to work from back to front. p.s. The stock Mopar chrome tail pipes won't work. You have to use the TTI versions. You'll also have to cut to X-pipe [or H-pipe] a little to fit to the header.

Vacuum Canister Basic: CCW turns = higher vacuum needed to begin adding advance [later advance] CW turns = lower vacuum needed to begin adding advance [sooner advance] *Neither effects rate of advance

You might try [using an allen wrench placed into the hose port] adjusting the vac canister spring. The spring will adjust 8 full turns, stop to stop. Tightening the spring [clockwise?] will slow the VA if advance coming on too quick. I would check the initial setting before I make any...

Since there are no marks on the distributor weight settings, I wonder if adjusting the total timing weights can be done with the distributor in place, so that one can more easily start the engine and check the results?

There were no "titles" in '67. Just a registration to sigh over on the back to sell

57 is too much. That's why it's pinging. Set 35 with vac hose disconnected at 2600. Should make 50 when hose is hooked up

2600rpm 50 total with everything hooked up. You're getting vac + mechanical advance

Yes, the 340s began life painted red. They began switching over to blue late 1970. My April 1971 340 came blue.

That should be easy to check and correct. It's the same as setting the gap on a set of points. Let the guy know what the gap should be.

Get yourself a wiring diagram. Also check online with MSD and find their wiring instructions. Make sure it was all done correctly.

If it starts, but stops when you release the key, it's the ballast resistor. Usually on the driver's side firewall. It's white, about 3/4 x 3/4 x 4"

Dodge Aspen . . . Plymouth Volare . . . SAME

3:73 are alot of your problem. My 71 Duster 340 came with 3:23 and I get 15 around town and 19 hwy

My 340 with 3:23 gears get close to that average, better if I keep my foot out of it, sometimes up to 19.

Nothing wrong with the stock 3:23 gears

The Dodge Coronet 8 3/4 is only 1" longer than the A-body 8 3/4.

So, safe to say, 7% GY3 '71 Dusters = about 300 4-speeds 435 automatics

That looks like Lemon Twist

Did you follow the instructions when you converted to the IVR? The limiter was originally mechanically built into the fuel gauge. The reostat needs to be disabled [ie, bent out of the way of the circuit.

Bought it new 4/71
