Have you tried Barry Washington's site? http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/

You could also make a data tag asking for any information about your car.  That way at car shows you can advertise that you are looking for information about your car.

Was the red line in the grille optional, or did that come on certain Cuda models?

Do I have to lower the steering column to get the speedometer out?

Anyone know where I can get my hands on the tech specs for a 70 Cuda 440-6 or HEMI?

My car is originally a 383 build today except for the 440-6 engine. I need to match the rest of it to the HEMI/440-6 specs on brakes and suspension etc to get it approved with the 440 engine.

Anyone have any experience with this? Looked through the tech threads but I cant find any specs.  :clueless:

Do you have Broadcast Sheet? If you have so start to compare for some 6-pack sheet.
There is lot of small differences even if you have a some axle package with Hemi suspension.
 Skid plate, torque boxes etc.

Dear Oracles.

My engine is a 440-6 and it doesn't have a vapor separator installed.

The car runs without it... But I bought one anyway. Do I need it? What's the point of it?
I like the idea of connecting a hose from that to the sending units return-line inlet if it's supposed to be there..

And where is the vent-pipe for the fuel tank supposed to go? The old tank had a sealed plug on the vent-pipe outlet..
It turned out to be full of rust, and the sending unit was dead as a result, so I bought a new tank and unit which I would like to install as it's supposed to.

The went-pipe on the gas tank should go to the trunk were there is a vent tube. it's on the passenger side og the trunk close to the wheel.

Have a Oil Pressure Sender Unit installed for Standard Gauges(only oil lamp).

Bought Rallye gauges and now need Oil Pressure Sender Unit that that fits(lamp and level). I reckon the sender for the standard gauge wont do..?

Anyone know where I can get a sender that fits or what its called? Looked at eBay but couldn't find one. Don't know what model I'm looking for..
