black may pass for a factory OEM look, white must less so.

Their 2K paint spray can products indeed seem better than your typical 1K spray can paints. I did some wheels, last year, and they sat on the deck in the weather and still look good (after cleaning)

because Texans love their barbeque, and they never do anything small.

in a three-letter code, the first letter denotes the applicable year. FM3 (where E=1969, F=1970, G=1971), M3 refers to the color. M-3 is not there on the 1971 paint chart, but is on the 1970 chart

A dyno plot of the horsepower and torque curves will show you where, and how much power it makes across the RPM range. At the wheels, this is best done with the factory torque convertor (TC) that locks earlier than later. For improved quarter mile times, you may want to shoot for a TC the...

Its time to post an image of that engine bay. let's see what you got. :p

I've driven several 440 cars over the years, and I can share a few thought about what I think I know. Sometimes, engines can have all the right parts, and just don't produce the power you would expect. They may have a better intake, higher CFM carburetors, header exhaust, perhaps ported heads...

If you're looking at the date code, just make sure its a month or two before the production date on the door sticker. I looked at that carb on ebay, and it looks like someone spent a lot of time cleaning it up and making it look nice(r)

The parts books shows the AVS carbs issued with the 340-4 was absent on CAS cars, present on ECS. That said, my observation is the majority of vintage AVS carburetors originally equipped with these solenoids will be missing them. It's on the rare side, the used carb is sold with the solenoid...

the existing wiring harness may be brittle. the insulation gets dried out, and handling can cause cracking and breakage. if you're set on replacing the wires, you may need to detach most of the driver size of the headliner to expose the existing wiring routing over to the sail panel.

if your headliner is vintage, it may be brittle and tear easily. even so, you may be able to detach enough of it to expose the wiring harness. Ronbo73 is correct, fishing any wires over to the dome light will likely be in contact with the headliner and be visible.

Agreed, the parts catalog is NOT showing there is an idle speed solenoid in your 4933S application.

in my opinion, you won't need a 3/8 fuel line, and 5/16 will be just fine. that's the way it came from the factory, even on the 6-barrel 340 motors. and your existing 3/8 sending unit with a plugged return line will behave just like the other sending units without a return line. if you're...

I heard people say they were calling the A-body Barracuda a "Cuda" before it became an official name used by the factory, perhaps back to 1964.

you may get many varying opinions on this. I can offer: for that much horsepower, you'll want ported heads and header exhaust. the factory manifolds and heads just wont flow enough to give you those numbers. you'll need a long-duration camshaft with rocker lift of .500 or more. 440source...

I think I see 1 or 2 of the 1970 consoles at the top of the 2nd photo of post #1.

While there ARE fuel filters with a built-in third fitting that may be used as a return line, the majority of fuel filters have two fittings, an input and an output. The image, below, is not quite a filter. The "Fuel Vapor Separator" (refer to post #2, figure 9) is not a fuel filter, per se...

I recommend you seek a 1973 Factory Service Manual. Most of this stuff is covered in those manuals. There are PDFs out there, for free, one can find with a little searching. Even a 1970 or 72 manual will be a tremendous help to your work. Collecting the Dealer Parts Books, also in PDF for...

they typically have 4. but there is nothing stopping someone from adding more, if they have the parts laying about, and they are restoring. this type of thing is hidden from view.
