Welcome to FABO!!

Posting your fender tag in Mopar Discussions will get you better results sinne many members don't read the Welcome Wagon.
 
First off , Welcome to the site . Now about your Dart being a 340 car or not . Is the 5th digit in your VIN # an H ? Also on the front of your K frame . There should be what looks like a washer spot welded in the front in the middle .
 
Welcome Lionel...

If Galen did indeed say it was good, I'd have to think there's a 99% chance it is. What a nice find, and a car that could absorb some $$$ and still be a good deal.....Especially if you could locate a similar number 340 to install.
 
thanks guys for hearding me in the right direction now i'll have to figure out how to navigate this site ,as new to this kind of thing if you may have noticed by my intro kinda cheezee sorry and thanks again lionel
 
Welcome to the site Lionel. I live on Vancouver Island, but I work at Agrium Potash mine in Vanscoy, and live over just off 8th and Preston while I'm here. Where abouts in Saskatoon are you? I'd love to see the car some time.
 
Welcome Lionel, you've got a Canadian 340 Swinger Special, nice find. Dartnut posted you my link hope it helps you out and we'd love to see some pictures of you car.
