Its all original, even leaking exhaust.. did receive good help on moparts...thanks much! a lot of credit goes to the colorized black turtle wax! it brings old black paint back to life. Car feels light and the original motor rocks (it is quick). I was shocked to find out the carb on these 340s are 800cfm stock and can cool the fuel 20 degrees over the previous yrs design, when I made a poster board for it, and did research on the carb. That is trivia a chevy guy would not believe is true (the carb on this car is bigger than the carb on a big block solid lifter chevy 396-427 pushing 425HP). So enjoy the pics....

Also, the front end sits up pretty high on a 340, still original springs and shocks. now on to fixing the rust..., and wish I had 15 x 7 road wheels for the back, that would match the 14x7 fronts (too bad they never made them). Those new L 60 15s would look great on the back of this car. [image] Last edited by 5571mopar; 07/10/10 12:30 AM.
