I have the exact same car, a 72 340 Cuda with a 440 now, except it was stroked recently to 496. I also have the MSD distributor and 6AL box. I also have a 72 service manual with electrical schematics. Let my know if you have specific questions.

I was so lucky. I'm looking in the classifieds and some older guy was selling an original 72 Chrysler service manual for $15. Covers practically everything. My 440 was getting old after about 10 years, so did a total rebuild back around 2002. Decided to use all the best parts, and stroke it to 496. Also used ported aluminum Stage 6 heads, solid roller cam, lightweight pistons, M1 intake, etc etc. Tranny is a 727 with 3500 stall. I just drive it on the weekends when the weather is nice. Its scary fast when I floor it. Got a 3:91 in the rear with BFG Drag radials. Its been a work in progress every since I got the car in 1991. Thousands of weekend tinkering hours, blood, sweat, tears, pain, money. Always do whatever I can to be faster. Probably not a part that has not been replaced, but still looks pretty much stock. Probably have about 10 afermarket gauges. How do you have your car set up?
