I need photos or a reference book on how to properly detail a 340 Six Pack engine.
items like how many ribs on the vacuum hoses for the 3x2 bbls, vacuum hose for distributor, Correct fuel filter, radiator overflow hose, windshield washer hose - how many ribs? Brake Booster & Master Cyl. are they painted black or cad plated? What do the correct valve covers look like and how hard are they to come by? What was the correct battery - Group 24 or 27? Did the left Exh. Manifold have the Manifold Gasket with the ntegral spark plug heat shield? Air Breather lid what decals and what locations?
Any and all photos would be appreciated.

Thanks Moparts members for your responses.

I have photos of some of that available to purchase, I will dig out the link to that thread here in a minute or three.


For the batteries both types were available, if you have your broadcast sheet, what are the F codes?

Edit;

Link with more info on photos;

Pictures of Troy's T/A someone took at Spring Fling 2008.

This was obviously taken with a flash so some thing may look glossier than in reality. Photographs have limitations.

I would like to know where you can get the black plastic covers for the carbs like Troy has in his pic?

I don't think the handle is black on the car above by accident. It looks like the tube is engine color. You need to get Troy to answer the research behind it.

Dipstick handle is black, tube is engine color.

One thing to keep in mind for anyone using photos of Troy's car for reference - it has N95.

If you do not have N95 then that breather setup will not be the same for your car.

340 dip sticks & tubes, along with engine end of the neg bat cables being painted or not are details that always bring controversey.

One thing for sure, the alternator on Troys car, while certainly nice, is not properly detailed.

That's because Baldason rebuilt and OE detailed him one that didn't charge. I guess he missed that detail.

Are those battery cable ends correct?

It would be great to have a set of those so that I could display with the air cleaner off!

Yes the car appears to be a California made car, at least I think so. Looking that the 3 nipple fitting in the passenger side valve cover. It has the vapor return line. I dont believe this starts on non California cars until 1971. At that time wasnt it on all cars?

G-series drawing that has nothing to do with 1970 cars. The 1971 cars did not get built.


Also, posting watermarked photos from a website you do not own is a .
