Yup, gotta love that factory quality. Don't you dare improve upon it. That would be sacrilegious!

That really is weird looking at the 340 and the shaker covers it.
Good progress on the truck and the car. I would have a tough time deciding which one to do

Yeah, I hear ya’s! It’s kind of comical seeing that big sombrero on that little motor. Sort of like a Wonder Bra. All good looking from the outside, then after all that work removing it you’re left with massive disappointment while mumbling the words, “That’s it?!?!?!?!
![]() ![]() Next week all the parts start showing up, but first up will be cowl repair. NOS GE FOG bulbs, NOS Idle Solenoid, and a few other goodies are in that mix! ![]() More to come.... Cheers Dave |

Time to start putting some of these new parts on this buggy! First up was the clutch. Brewer's supplied all my missing parts and Wayne is a great guy to deal with.
![]() So Wayne provided me with a roller bearing for the input shaft of the transmission. That came with an instruction sheet. Seriously? Pppffllppp... I've installed about eleventy some clutches.... what's different about this one? ![]() ![]() ![]() Ok, so after four stabs of the transmission into the engine, I realized what that all meant. It basically said that the trains collide in Sasparilla, CO. ![]() ![]() Now, this just being a driver, I didn't go crazy with the detailing/ cleaning and such that I would if I was getting ready for a MCACN unveiling. But, never the less, I can't fight the factory marking bug! And for the Mopar guys that removed their speedo gear to swap it out for another, then reinstalled it only to find it not working, this may be why! There are a few different notches for different speedo gears depending on the teeth. There's a corresponding single notch on the transmission case. You see where your tooth range falls and line it up to the corresponding notch on the trans! If you just installed a new gear and it's not working, check the notch. It might be too far away from the drive gear. ![]() Cheers ![]() Super Dave |

Being close to Halloween, it's Great Pumpkin time!
![]() ![]() ![]() Now remember, this being a driver I didn't go crazy on the finer details like I will when I tear her down for the real restoration. But, me being me, I had to get some details in there. ![]() Metal work on the cowl comes up next! ![]() Cheers ![]() Dave |

Looks good Dave!
Yes, everyone assumes Hemi Orange.....but that was used only on Hemi's....even with that, the Hemi's changed the shade of orange during the 69 model year. 70 340's were definitely 440 orange. I imagine either those were spares or you will be painting the alternator brackets black. Personally, I love the smell of burning exhaust manifold paint in the morning! |
