You might try the GTS registry, some good reference photos but you gotta dig for them.
Careful, your character's showing!

Then the above picture should be pretty good for you.  I have seen 68's with 3spd wiper motors that were the half black can style. Both my 68's are like that.

steve theres a few things wrong with that engine bay as i sold that car to guy and he made a few mistakes but what do you expect from an e body man.
Best one I have a pic of. No one else has posted anything. Couldn't find any blue 69 340 GTS pictures  I don't see many nice restored to original 67-69 340 engine compartments.
Andy, could you point out what is incorrect?
I do see that the heat sheild is missing. Of course that car was done before they repo'd that part. What is you feeling on 68 3spd wiper motors? Does that temp sender get painted?
What's your feeling/opinion one red vs. black 68 GTS emblem outlining?: https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...rue#Post4612978

I see
Positive battery cable
Cyl head mounted heater hose bracket not supposed to be on a 1969 and older ?????
missing heat shield
upper shock washer hardware
wiper motor ??????
why does it have a black booster in one pic and a zinc one in the other pic

Just noticed that. First two pics are from Spring Fling 2004 and last one is from Spring Fling 2007 with a different owner.
Still a very nice 340 car. Most seem not to get that kind of effort.
To the original poster. I didn't notice your sig before. Are you looking for a stock off the showroom type engine bay reference. If not, you should post this question in the Question and Answer section and you might get more response to what you are looking for. This section is for stock type restorations.

 and missing the yellow and red Mopar sticker on the side of the air cleaner, and the green and white emissions sticker on the inner fender next to the washer tank (unless they are out of view)? 
A portion of the white sticker can be seen in the very right hand edge of the pics. There's probably air cleaner sticker on there, just not seen in the pictures.
