Put some 3.55 gears in it !

Usually all that goes wrong with those is the control valve

9:1 compression. Factory flat top pistons and 76cc heads

I can't read the air filter lid. If its a factory 4bbl its a 300hp 350. 10.25-1 compression and good flowing heads for the day. A performance cam and headers would really wake that engine up. Unfortunately it most likely has 2.73 gears in the rear end which limits its acceleration.

Thats me on the right. The red 340 duster with 340 call outs is behind me and my 69 chevelle is in the back ground. The chevelle had a real 1967 302 chevy engine in it that I stuck a 2bbl onto and it had a 3 on the tree.

Didn't seem to care much

Unfortunately no. I traded it for a 4x4 ramcharger.

Dont know as the smoke was too thick in there to see.

Leave it alone. It's fine and will frost under certain conditions.

Around 1992 I was working for an independent Goodyear service center. I mentioned in the past that anything we mechanics did regarding tires was free. We did not get paid for mounting, balancing, repairs or rotations. I was 23 and I was driving a1973, 340 duster that I had souped up. That...

While those engines were not known for power and were smogdogs the bottom ends were generally ok. Having a low milage one throw a rod is very uncommon.

Quite a few miles from me. I'm the 2nd owner. The original purchaser bought it. Went to the sand dunes, was riding to the bathrooms1/4 mile away, crashed 1/2 way there and never got back on it. It's always gave me trouble shifting.

Another batch of plugs I believe to be counterfeit. They were a smoking deal so I took the chance. Never seen autolite plugs in a white box.

Probably need to be cleaned. May have something in the orifices.
