    glass scratches

    You'd be surprised what toothpaste on a buffing wheel will clean up scratch wise.

    Ebay - Air Gap for 340

    I find it hilarious when these "air gap" intakes started popping up for various engines because Chrysler big blocks have had "air gap" intakes since day one in 1958!! Glad I've kept my old LD340 (not an air gap) as it's probably a better intake than all these Chinese "air gaps". I'm betting...

    1970 Barracuda - Best tire & size combination for 14" wheels.

    I'd go with 245/60x14 or 235/70x14 on all four corners since your going to 15" wheels in the future. Get which size is cheapest and enjoy for a couple years burning rubber!! Heehee! Either 235 or 245 will fit all four corners with no issues. It's getting to the point where only trailers have...

    Correct Stock Tips question 71 Challenger

    It's suppose to be white vinyl (which I have), but when I bought the car decades ago, the vinyl was missing and I painted it white. And it kinda grew on me. Two inch tips where factory, yes!

    headliner tack strips (Teeth retainers)

    Yes, please describe more what your looking for because the are a few places where toothed strips appear.

    glass scratches

    You can certainly fix or make less notable scratches than a crack!! Call a glass place in your nearest town (I say that because I live in the boondocks not in town)!

    Old guy with a lead foot.

    Welcome to FEBO from the desert! I think you described about 99% of us with the "Old guy with a lead foot"! A 340 in an E-Body is a nice package! And though I love all E-Bodies more than any other make, the 70 Challenger is my favorite followed by the 70 and 71 Cuda and 71 Challenger. And then...

    Correct Stock Tips question 71 Challenger

    I have a good pair on my 70 Challenger and a rusty pair in a box in my barn that are factory original. Zoom in for the right configuration.

    Project Slantfish nearing completion

    Thank you @slantfish for keeping the mighty slant six alive! Side note I've mentioned before, the Chrysler slant six is the only engine that went from automobiles to industrial vehicles with zero changes!! 😁

    Aftermarket shifter with factory console.

    It was fun trying to get the soda blaster to work! You'd think in the desert the soda would stay nice and dry. Well, it did all except the bottom exit valve which Heminut and I had to dismantle to break up the bit of soda cake. Then it worked just fine. Heminut, that console looks really nice...

    Auto to Manual trans swap

    It's not the engine that's moving up as much as the TTI headers. You are using TTI headers aren't you?

    Pertronix timing question

    Do you know the static compression ratio? The early 340's had 10.5:1. Probably closer to 10.0:1, but would require the best crappy gas out there (93 octane). Not sure what you have for gasoline brands, but out here in the Southwest, Chevron has the best additives. If you know the particulars of...

    Proclaimed NOS parts rant

    When does "old" turn into "antique"? 🙂

    Needing to wobble the key to get it into the ignition cylinder

    Here's a link of a member just replacing his entire ignition switch. https://www.forebodiesonly.com/forum/threads/replace-ignition-switch.41142/page-2#

    Needing to wobble the key to get it into the ignition cylinder

    Some previous owner had a huge key chain with half a pound of keys on it and has worn it out! Live with it or swap out the ignition switch. Not to sound callous, but really that's your choices.

    Auto to Manual trans swap

    Try the shims on the rear transmission mount first! just a 1/4" shim can really raise the back of the engine a 1/2" or more.

    Door Panel Material

    The original truck lock shield was metal from the factory. @pschlosser is probably right about the factory interior panels being polypropylene. Nothing seems to melt them (like glues or plastic welders) very well!

    Proclaimed NOS parts rant

    If you think about, fifty years or more later, it's not new anymore. Even if not installed, it could be brittle, seized, rusty inside, etc. So stick with a usable used part or an aftermarket part. The used one was recently working and the repo is newer!
