I recently was involved in an accident with my Cuda. Took these off before it’s going to insurance auction 😒 I paid a ton of money having this setup fully rebuilt. The lid is aftermarket and I was told the pan is oem but can’t find any markings. Honestly I am not sure what to ask but looking at...
Sorry if this should be in the brake section I figured it was more general. Can someone please tell me what line goes to each letter. It’s in my 72 cuda manual brakes. I cannot find any information on that type valve most are the Cnc aluminum not the cast like this one. Thank you in advance
i have never owned a car with manual brakes so I am having a hard time knowing what is right or wrong. The car is 72 cuda. All new lines, new master cyl, new calibers and rear drum cyl. Only thing old is the proportioning valve.
I bleed the brakes pedal is high and hard. Next day pedal is...
so I am finally getting the car ready to drive. The brake system was complete when I bought the car. So I changed all the lines. Did not change the proportioning valve, master cyl or read drum cyl. I bled the brakes and got a great pedal. Two days after it was soft and would get solid after a...
Thanks in advance. My body guy took all the stuff off and didn't mark anything so I have some questions. From what I gather I am looking at drip rails and drip rail moldings. the drip rail is what holds the weather strip? and the molding is the chrome trim part of the door opening?
It is very...
Thanks in advance, I purchased this cuda and I am doing final assembly and the front rubber brake lines are wrong. The threads are too small. The calipers I have are "big bore" is what I was told. They have the large bolts that go through the back.
Thank you, Joe
Hello, I just fired up my fresh 340 six pack and it is idling high and I am having a hard time getting it right. I have read tons of articles and the six pack book and am at a loss. I am willing to pay someone to come by and help me get the bugs out.
Hello, and thank you in advance. I just got my fresh 340 fired up. The carbs were professionally restored. I backed out the idle screw all the way started the car and it is idling at 2200-2300 rpm. I cannot get the idle to go down. I have the six pack book but its home and I am eager lol any...
so I purchased a cuda that was build in the early 2000’s it was torn down and body work was fixed. It came with a real nice 3” tti exhause that was welded. Only problem is the car had headers and I want to run HP manifolds.
So I called tti and they told me they could make me some head pipes...
hello I am working on some final touches. I was not able to find a 340 six pack base plate so I went with the 440 one. Looks like the breather line comes out of the passenger side and goes to passenger breather on valve cover. This leaves the pvc valve on the driver side cover. From what I...
hello, I am having an issue with the fuel line from pump to carb. I purchased a carter fuel pump and it looks to be 1/4 pipe thread. The fuel line is flared fitting 1/4. Problem is that there is nothing in the pint to stop the flare line from sliding in and out. Is there a special fitting that...
Hello I ordered a book for the six pack and I am working on getting the dealer six pack supplement info. But I want to order parts now lol. Most of what I see in pictures is the center carb t’ed to the outer carbs. What other vacuum lines are needed?
Where does the pvc go?
Should I have a...
Hello and thanks in advance. I have been searching for info and have not found much, I just received my setup back from Chicago Carburetor and I think they did a great job. They installed the carbs and linkage on the intake. I am waiting for someone to send me the supplement to owners manual but...
hello and thank you in advance. I am finally getting my six pack back from restoration. It’s been years since I have installed an intake and never done one on a sb. I have a set of intake gaskets that came with the engine gasket set. I am assuming I should be using black RTV on the areas...
thanks in advance. Car is a 72 cuda 340. Had the trunk floor changed and when it came back I have one heat sheild and two hangers in a box. I am pretty sure the 72 only had one sheild but how does anyone have information on where the holes are drilled for hangers and sheild
Thanks
