1969 Cuda 6 Barrel?

[focal 7]

I just bought a 1969 Barracuda 340 Formula S car. In decoding the fender tag it shows the E55 option. In the decoding site I'm using it says E55 is a 340-6 Barrel. I'm confused, I didn't think there were intakes like this in 69' What's the scoop? While this car does have the matching #'s motor, it is simply a cast 4 barrel manifold with carb. What does it mean 6 Barrel?       Thanks

In 1969 E55 was the standard 4bbl, only in 1970 it was the 6bbl. (Six Barrel = only AAR Cuda)

And Challenger T/A

No! Challenger T/A = Six Pack (but also E55  )

Actually didn't E55 just mean 340 engine? 

There were 340 4 barrel engines then there was the Trans Am option which had the 6 pack set up.

6 Barrel was Plymouth's equivilent of Dodge's 6 pack, whick could be had on 340 + 440 engines= 3  x 2 barrel carbs.

E55 does mean 340 in 1969, 1970 and other years.

For the 340 sixpak you have to look for the A53 package code. (1970 only)

A53 was a code in other years with different meanings, but not for the T/A or AARs, so as far as the 340-6 goes it was 1970 only.
