Re: Help with 340s

Primary clutch for 340s

I was told the Comet 102C clutch won't work on my 340s. They said I would have to use the 94. What are you guys running?

Re: 340s paint and restore

Alright, thanks guys. The chrome looks cool, but I'm trying to make it as original as possible. Not familiar with soda blasting. I'll have to look into that. Do you know where I can find the hood pins? And are they chrome?
Thanks for your input!
