Shaker Base Plate
« on: September 08, 2007 - 07:14:53 PM »
Hi all,

I am on the hunt for a shaker base plate for a four barrel set-up.

I was told that there are two types; one that fits the 340/440 and one for a 383.

Can someone confirm this for me.

Appreciate it.

 There are at least three different 4 bbl baseplates
 3512765 -- 1970 340 baseplate
 3512764 -- 1971 340 baseplate
 3462465 -- 1971 383 baseplate

 The 1970 and 1971 340 baseplates are different based off the carb height  1970 used a avs carb and 1971 used a thermoquad which created the need for the baseplates to be different heights.
 I would assume a 440 baseplate would be different yet but I am not familar with them  sorry

Hope this helps
