I bought: Pair of 1967 273 four barrel valve covers - $200 1968-69 340 intake - $80 New Mopar offset master cylinder adapter - $50 Cruise control turn signal stalk - $25 Parts are still in the basement of the RV. Might be there for a while as they aren't in the way in there.

Oh, and walked through our front door right about 6pm. All in all a very good weekend. Spent a lot of time talking with friends and looking for parts. It did seem like turnout was low, but people were buying...

Sold a few parts and bought a few. Camping out at the park with our newly acquired diesel pusher was great Friday night. Early this morning, however, was a different story (not the fault of CPW or anybody else associated with the show). We had a knock on the door at 3:30. LAPD. Seems a guy had...

Steve does that every year... We're probably gonna put the parts away early in the morning (around 9) and head back out to the show. We'll hang out a little longer.

No price and if it's not pennies on the dollar it's not worth the effort. There is so much to sort through to even start to figure out what's in there. Just the effort to pick everything up is overwhelming.

I was looking at that earlier today. Scheduled Production Date two days after my wife's '68 convertible, but at a different plant. Red letters like my wife's car had originally as well. Plus the side stripe.

And, we're here. Sold a few things this afternoon. Talked to a bunch of people. It'll be nice to not be sitting in line in the morning.

We're planning on getting there around noon or so.

I don't think that's really restorable, BUT I want it anyway...

Can't go by my car. All front end sheet metal was replaced in 1970. The hood on ours is a '69 as pointed out by HemiSSDart when he stopped by the house several weeks ago. The letters were better than yours, but still not quite straight. My fenders are worse. We'll be addressing this when we do...

Ok, the car won't be making it (not the car's fault). We'll be in the swap. Anybody want to share our oversized space? We'll be there Friday for early setup. At least that's the plan.

We might be bringing a slightly undone A-body. It is painted, though...and the sway bar is now installed instead of lying on the floor. Gotta find another headlight, even though we aren't driving it...

@autoxcuda what do you think about my questions above? I'm mostly concerned about Thursday and Friday night.

We're thinking about going to the speed festival at Willow on Thursday, leaving Wednesday afternoon.

That's why I have long advocated for the 360. It got a bad reputation due to being released at the beginning of the smog era and not having a performance option until 1974. I remember conversations in the early 1980s with people degrading the 360 as worthless. I knew they were mistaken...

I have owned a factory 340 car since 1983 and it will remain a 340, as it should. BUT, I have long advocated (since before I owned a Mopar 340 car - I did own a non-Mopar 340 car once upon a time) for building a 360 for a street performance car simply due to the cost difference and ready...

Hey Steve, I've got some RV parking questions for you. 1. RV parking Wed. night at Willow??? I do have some potential options other than the track. 2. RV parking Thurs. night between Willow and Van Nuys??? So that we can make the Friday cruise. 3. RV parking with trailer at the park Friday...

One more thing. I'm doing the same brakes and suspension no matter what engine. The car will handle reasonably well and stop well.

I have done some 440 swaps. I don't have near $20k in any of the cars. Then again, I look for bargains and have been fortunate and been at this a long time. I build copies of the old Direct Connection k-member, but cores are getting very hard to find. I've had 440s pretty much drop in my lap as...

Emblems on the '65s indicate two barrel cars from the factory. VIN on the '66 is a slant. Without looking at each car carefully to see how any mods were done I wouldn't bid on any of them.

We should be there. Either have my son's Dart convertible ('67 Viper blue 440/4sp) or my Barracuda convertible or be in the swap meet with my newly acquired diesel pusher.

Don't believe it...

Yes, the 273 was in a '66 Barracuda. It wasn't fast, but by comparison to other sub-300 cubic inch performance engines it more than held its own. The handling package and disc brakes also helped the fun factor. 340 is in a '68 GTS convertible, 440 is in my son's '67 Dart GT convertible. In some...

Too many variables. I enjoyed my stockish Commando 273 (what's that? 280 ft lbs?) with the four speed and 3.23 gears. The stock 340 is near perfect, but the stock 440 IS perfect.

Crank centerline is not level. It slopes to the back, but I'm not sure how many degrees. All you need to do is look at an intake manifold, which is angled the other way so that the carb is level.

Without the plant info there could possibly be two different cars with the same VIN. There are sales codes, which seem to be unimportant on the assembly line.

Are there any "M" codes documented?

Yes, the hardtop did. My bumpers wound up my son's convertible (the other car) so I can't say whether it had them or not.

Just checked my '70 340. VIN 0B258245. I'm not sure on the VIN on my '68 340, but it is a fairly early car. I also look for my original at times. It went missing around 1980 in the San Jose area. It would be 8B111754.

I just pulled out the fender tags for two 1967 Dart GT's. Both 273 two barrel, auto. One is a convertible, the other a hardtop. No M2 code on either one and both were built at Hamtramk.
