    Questions on Pistol Grip Shifter Boot, Galvanized Ring, and Stainless Trim Bezel

    Reproduction Shifter Boot with separate galvanized ring: The rubber shifter boot attaches directly to tunnel hump through the opening in the rough-cut carpet, the galvanized ring goes onto rubber boot, four (4) black screws go through galvanized ring/rubber boot into the tunnel metal. Then, trim...

    Which oil filter for a 340?

    Also, check out this review of oil filters. I have used the Wix 51515 and the Purolator BOSS PBL30001. Both seem to be quality filters.

    Questions on Pistol Grip Shifter Boot, Galvanized Ring, and Stainless Trim Bezel

    See some answers above and photos below. TIP for making holes in carpet: To make holes for seat belts and the seat track bolts is to use an old deep-well 5/8" socket with a 6" extension. Heat the socket opening with a propane torch (cheap Home Depot or Lowes item) until it is cherry red. Push...

    Which oil filter for a 340?

    Fram PH43 (Short) or PH8A (Long) or their equivalents based on clearance to manifolds or to headers. A 90° adapter can rotate the filter's orientation to allow for the Long filter to fit. Consider a WIX filter 51515. Several other quality filters exist as well.

    Cup holders for classic Cuda

    That 3D-printed design for the console lid (2 pieces) does not open. The two console holddown screws holding the console to the tunnel are reused, one screw per cupholder section along with the hinge screws. The "through the woodgrain topplate" version works for an automatic but not so well for...

    reproduction fender tags

    ...which makes the Broadcast Sheet and other original ordering paperwork plus Window Sticker that much more important to prove a car's original configuration. Two most common locations below.

    Fender Tags, why?

    Agree for the most part. The Broadcast Sheet is more like the birth certificate and the Fender Tag is like a Driver’s License. Tag has most of the info but not all. The “What” in “What is this car?” requires documentation and paperwork to legitimize it. If you do not care about legitimacy, that...

    I will be there as well, @floyd, and will attempt to locate you.

    reproduction fender tags

    This scenario is the best possible since the documentation supports the overall car’s provenance. I do not think a repro fender tag would affect such a car’s value. Experts will spot the repro tag and take that into consideration but with that much paperwork and physical evidence it is more than...

    Window Tint Questions

    Yes, most of that is true except for A/C cars ordered with optional G21 - Clear Glass. Non-A/C cars with no glass code got Clear Glass (all windows) but only on non-A/C cars. Non-A/C cars could order optional G11 - Tinted, All Windows OR G15 - Tinted Windshield only at extra cost. A/C cars...

    Replacement 1970-only Cuda Fuel Cap 1-1/2" Are they crazy?

    @Challenger RTA That is not a vented cap and from what I can tell, the filler opening's neck size is smaller for 1971 (1-3/8" ?) versus 1970's 1-1/2" filler opening. It seems there is not much info documented on this topic. We likely need to do some reference material and diagrams to aid...
