1971 Cuda 340 Carb Info Needed

I just picked up a '71 Cuda w/340 3spd. However, the carb is
missing...does anyone have any info on exactly what carb I should look
for ? TIA

340 THREE speed?!? You mean 3-speed automatic, I assume. Otherwise
that's not an original 340 'Cuda, but maybe a 318 or slant-6 Barracuda
that's had a 340 transplant..

ARe you interested in an exact restoration, or function?

IIRC, the 71 340s used either a Carter AVS or a Holley vacuum-secondary
4-barrel. No Thermoquad until a couple of years later on the 360. I
added a cross-post to alt.hi-po.mopars and I know one of those guys
there can tell you the exact carburetor number for either a manual or
automatic (they're different) 71 340 'Cuda. But a good aftermarket carb
that will look fairly correct would be an Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS.

buy a holley spread bore 750 cfm double pumper and it will rock your world

one of the tricks was to use was a 3 speed put of a slant six car it was a
3 speed stick
bolt right in and at the strip. only had to shift twice

I'm not sure about a '71, but my '72 Demon 340 had a Thermoquad from the
factory. You might try www.allpar.com

My friend's '73 Challenger 340 came with a Thermoquad, as did another
friend's '73 340 Roadrunner.
