It is a 340 block .030 over. Cam DUR@.050 218/224, lift .462/.470. I am new to setting timing. The pinging is my fear of causing damage. Lots of videos out there on this subject. Ported vs. manifold, mechanical advance vs. vacuum. Trying to learn and set the engine up so I can drive it like I...

Looking for a 2 speed wiper switch for my Barracuda. Either rebuilt or NOS.

That is me with the blue Hawaiian shirt on next to the green 71.

I have an AAR body that I purchased and it came with 2 steering columns (out of the car). It is a power steering column shift automatic car. How can I tell if I have the proper columns as part of the purchase? Is there a part number stamped somewhere? The parts manual is not all that helpful.

Got mine back on the road in October 2025. She is not perfect by any means. Old paint, some rust bubbles, etc, but my first cruise I barely got out of the car and someone asked if I wanted to sell it. There is always someone who wants one.
