I have a 340 engine. I'm trying to determine what year the engine is. I located the stamped info at the base of the head on the driver's side. I have looked on different threads that explain the stampings. I don't understand what they mean about a 10,000 day calendar, when they talk about the...

I plan on converting my 70 Barracuda to power steering, First, is there a difference between a big block pump and a small block pump? Second, will a steering box from a A or B body fit an E body? Thanks

Are the stock exhaust manifolds the same for all years the 340 was built? Also, are the manifold specific to the body style (B body vs etc)? Are the 318 or 360 manifolds the same as a 340? Thanks

On my 70 Barracuda with manual steering, I noticed if you pull up on the steering wheel, there is a 1/2 gap between the steering column and the crush can. I posted this problem before. Some people responded that the shaft may have collapsed, like it's supposed to. The other day I noticed that...

On my 70 Barracuda with a 727 Slap Stick I noticed I can turn the rear tires by hand when it's in park. It was like this when I bought the car. I had the trans rebuilt because it was leaking so badly (cheaper to rebuild than a re-gasket/seal). The car still has the same problem. Is there an...

I just had a rebuilt 727 trans installed. It seems to be leaking from the speedometer cable. I had this problem on a previous trans, that was never resolved. The gear was replaced. Is there a seal around the shaft of the gear? gear. Also, there is a leak at the front of the pan. It doesn't look...

I have a 70 Barracuda that has 15 in rally wheels. I'm looking for a plain steel wheel for a spare. I need a 15 x 7in. I found a wheel at Summit racing with the correct lug pattern and back spacing. When I check the fitment, I get the message, it won't fit your vehicle. It will fit a most models...

I bought a 70 340 Barracuda about 3 months ago. The car was originally a 383, 2 barrel. It idles rough and smelled like raw fuel from the exhaust. I went through the carb, Edelbrock 1407, 750cfm. The floats level was way off. I adjusted the floats, the fuel smell is gone. I also adjusted the...

I bought a 70 Barracuda about 3 months ago. I trying to repair things that may become a safety hazard. The flexible brake line on the drivers side is too long. Does anyone know where I can get a new hose with a banjo type fitting? Classic Industries has a hose for an A and B body. I'm not sure...

The driver's door on my 70 Barracuda won't open from the outside handle. The door opens fine from the inside. I tried opening the door from the outside and watched the linkage attached to the handle. Everything seems to be moving. I noticed that some of the plastic clips that hold the rod to the...

I have a 340 (year unknown) with a 727 trans. I have a 650 cfm Edelbrock Performer carb and headers. Other than that it's stock. I plan on using it as a daily driver. I currently have an aluminum manifold that has a MOPAR marking but no part numbers. This manifold has only one source to measure...

I have ordered many parts from Classic Industries. It seems the parts from OER don't fit very well, without modification to the part or the part it fits. Is anyone else having this problem? I have had problems with GM and Plymouth products from OER. It seems like OER parts are getting worse...

I replaced the turn signal switch because the tab that cancels the right signal was broken off. The left turn indicator cancels fine. I reinstalled the steering wheel and made sure the splines lined up correctly. I plan on taking the crush can off tomorrow. Is there a problem with the crush can...

I tried to clean out the threads of the shoulder belt hole. I wasn't able to get the tap in correctly. Are the threads on the bolts tapered? I tried a 7/16-20 tap. My shoulder belts were missing so I was trying to install them. Thanks

When I turn on the headlights, nothing. If I turn on the high beams, the high beams come on. I checked the headlights. When I apply power to it I get low and high beams. I only get power to the high beam side of the plug when the high beams are on. I haven't checked the headlight switch. Could...

I bought a 70 Barracuda a couple of weeks ago. I'm fixing a lot of little things. I noticed the emergency brake pedal doesn't return when the parking brake is released. Is there a return spring that's supposed to pull the pedal up. I looked on Ebay and noticed on a 71 and up there is a return...

The first question: is this intake manifold a factory aftermarket option for a 340? I have only seen the cast iron intakes. Is the manifold worth keeping? I was looking for a manifold with more openings for temperature sending units. The second question: The nipple on the passenger side of the...

I bought a Barracuda a couple of weeks ago. I bought the car from a guy in So. Calif. The car was originally from Virginia. I knew the firewall had a fiberglass patch near the drivers side hinge. I was doing some work under the dash. I removed the fresh air vent and found it was rusted out...

Can anyone tell me why there is such a large gap between the lower part of the steering column and the upper part (crush can?). I bought this car a couple of weeks ago. It's a 70 Barracuda AAR clone. It has manual steering. I don't know if this was originally a power steering car. I know it was...

I have a 70 Barracuda I bought a few weeks ago. It has a 340 with a 727 trans. I want to add an electric fan and in the future EFI. I noticed there isn't any where to add the temp sensors. There is only the stock temp sending unit on the intake manifold. Is there some where on the engine block I...
