WTB - Install Kit for 340 Six Pack

[68gtxman]

Found overpriced kits on eBay ($389), but even at $289 these kits are overpriced.

Anyone know where I can buy one for $289 or less?

Thanks!

Check with Mancini Racing, MegaPartsUSA.com & buy the original Mopar Performance style, Plymouth 6bbl or Dodge Six Pack fuel line kit, if you want a totally 100% OEM factory correct appearance... otherwise I would suggest, if your not concerned about 100% OEM Factory appearances, or restoration, you go with the #6 A/N, tee's, hoses/lines & fitting, they flow far better than the stock OEM type ever will... Check with maybe Summit Racing or Jegs also, for either type of part/lines/hoses/fittings.... ProMaxx also sells a top-end "6bbl/six pack" fuel line kit, for "I think like $175.00", it's not a factory correct set up, it's #6 A/N stuff...

Thank, though the install kit includes a lot more than just fuel lines. It also has choke, linkage rods, throttle cable, mount and a few other pieces. I can find most of the parts individually on eBay, but the kits may contain a better value if I can find one for $289.

I am very well aware of that, I've had a few, you can also piece them together if you know what your looking for... they come with outboard carb linkake, coil mount, thr.cable, fuel lines, return springs, choke stove linkage, gaskets etc., none come with the thr. solenoid & mount or wire, they aren't cheap either... I wouldn't buy any of the kits, unless they were Mopar Performance full 6bbl/six pack assembly kits, the other kits that are cheaper, but also are total crap, sometimes you got to pay, for decent quality products.... then I would still replace the fuel lines also... JMHO

Thanks, but as I found elsewhere, this item is also out-of-stock at Mancini's. Same luck as I've had with a stock air filter (I finally ordered the K&N filter).

Let me know if anyone finds one in stock somewhere. Thanks!

Still looking.

Did you try to piece them together ??... Have you also tried Moparts.com ??... Have you tried MegaPartsUSA.com ??... If you do go with the A/N stuff, if you try to make your own, make sure the carb fittings are the "short" #6 AN style of 7/8"x20 #6 carb inlet fittings or you will have fitting issues {hitting the front outboard diaphragm with any type of fitting}, then a shorter style 45* A/N fitting {not the cheapest you can find}, also to get by the same front outboard carbs vacuum diaphragm, hitting the front outboard carb diaphragm, mainly on the center carb is the biggest problem, the stock style clear fine but have to be "very tight" to not leak.... It's well worth the cost to buy the pre-made Promaxx lines...

Yes, I ordered from Moparts.com and then they emailed me that it was out of stock. I just looked at MegapartsUSA and they don't have the kit. I have looked at piecing together a kit on my own, but that is even more expensive than the $389 kit. If I find another $389 kit, I'll buy it. The guy on eBay who had been selling them said he only gets 2 to 3 small block kits in a year. I'm not in a hurry to get the kit as the engine hasn't been rebuilt yet, and I do want to go with the stock look.
