Success!! I ended up soaking it in CLR for about a hour and a half, washed it with water and followed RRR advice and started tapping it with a hammer back and forth adding WD-40 and it started to move and after about 15min they were out! Thank you for all your help and opinions. Mike.

I thought that the acetone and atf was going to be my magic solution, Just trying anything that I have on hand.

Thank you for all your help, I will try several of these ideas and I will make sure to report back if I have successfully removed the shafts and which one seemed most beneficial.

Yes it is the shafts that are stuck in the plate, I had already boiled the plate in a mixture of vinegar and water with no luck.

Blades are off, just sprayed some fluid film on it. I have a friend with a sonic cleaner, any recommendations for a solvent solution that I could try?

I have tried a 50/50 mixture of atf and acetone for the last week and its a no go. What have you people tried with some success? Trying to save a base plate for a 650DP.

I Installed a set of Doug's headers on my 340-.030 over 68 block with 71 J heads with 2.02 intake valves. I noticed a huge improvement from idle through the entire RPM range, and I am only running a 9/16 ths street cam. I can tell you that headers were one of the biggest performance...

You are missing O ring from what I can see. I like to put some lubricant on it before I install it, silicone spray/ Vaseline to help it install easily.

Mine is actually two pieces, and I am just missing the mast. Will post a picture later today.

Didn't see you at Moparfest this year, Do you have any in stock and are you willing to ship to Canada?

He had a 65 Mustang and we used to cruise together all the time. He would play Nazareth and I would play Deep Purple. Both of us still have our cars! Mine is the one in my avatar! 3rd owner.

Glad I could help. Year's ago when I was in my teens, my friend used to screw the lock tight so he could open the passenger door with just pressing the door handle. That's when I caught on.

Try unscrewing the plastic door lock. If it's too tight then you don't get the rods in full engagement.

Do you happen to know what your car weighs?

The Carter carburetor in your pictures is not a spreadbore. You should look for a Thermoquad carburetor, Q-jet or a Holley spreadbore. The secondaries are significantly bigger on a spreadbore.

Looks like it is 7 22 68 Which would make more sense. I have seen 67 casting dates on 340 blocks. But I am no expert.

The three bolts are at the bottom and the two are at the top. Flip the one cover over.

Run it as it is. Tune it to get a baseline and make changes from there if necessary.

Thanks for the information, he also wants to buy the crankshaft as it is a steel one. But I warned him that he would need to get it balanced for his assembly.

I am thinking that he will need a line bore to use these caps or any other caps. He might be better off to get 340 caps.

Thank you, I thought that there was a difference.

Can you use 273 main bearing caps on a 340? I have a person that wants to do this and I don't want to sell him the wrong parts. Thanks Mike.

Yes I agree that it is a "junk" car, but I am harvesting lots of great parts off of it. It is helping others get their cars back together. Not sure why you gave me the red X it is a "parts car "

The roof is in very nice shape! Every time I look at it I find more. From fasteners to trim pieces. It's been a good parts car. Hard to believe that it looked like a complete car before we dragged it out! Sat for 45 years on a dirt floor.

$1000 cdn came with both NOS rear quarters in nice condition. Already sold enough parts to pay for the car. Plus i got some for mine as well. And I still have the quarters.

Now this is a parts car.

Lots of great ideas for putting the car away. Hat's off to the members who are able to drive year round. The problem with southern Ontario is that they put lots of salt and brine on in the winter and it just eats the cars. Thanks for all of the feedback, I will be working on some small...

Decided that it was time to put the car away as the weather is changing up here in Canada. Interested in what you people do for your winter storage practices?

Might want to also check the orientation of both shafts as they go on only one way correctly.

Followed by the unboxing of the new one's. Just watched your two newest videos, very informative. Keep up the good work!
