    Carb and manifold swap - that question again

    Great info from you as always. I will go over all the points you mentioned. Yeah, I'm not looking for more punch out of the motor, just looking for it to run right. I had a lot of carbon and gunk all built up in the manifold, the carb has been rebuilt twice and was pointed out to me that its...

    Carb and manifold swap - that question again

    I have a pure stock 383 in my 65 SF. I'm doing this mod because my original carb is just worn out. I've had it rebuilt twice and even the shop said it took a beating from the new gas. It's just time to make a change. I'll go with the Performer, seems like the best choice. I have no...

    Carb and manifold swap - that question again

    Weight, age, gunk, it's made of iron, heat issues, larger port design, better performance matchup to the new carb. I don't have the equipment to properly clean it, and sending it out for mods and cleaning will cost almost as much as buying a new one here in NY.

    Carb and manifold swap - that question again

    Good morning everyone, I hope all is well with our "old timers" and our "newbies" are enjoying this great community. So I've decided to swap out my original Carter and manifold to a new setup. I bought a Eddy 1906 already and am considering 3 manifolds. I have a stock motor and have no...

    Stalls when put into gear

    Hiya buddy. It's been a while. I hope all is well with you. I don't want to hijack this thread. I'll answer you, but ouof courtesy to the OP, I'll post a new one. "Fluffy black". Lol... they're all carbon fouled, but I just can't seem to get the mixture right. What direction turning the...

    Stalls when put into gear

    I'm watching this as I'm having the exact same problem. Engine lopes like crazy, plugs are black as night. I sense a fuel issue, but I've tried almost everything under the sun to get it right.

    Engine Paint: Chrysler Blue

    I agree. cbarge said it well in that thread with the photo you just posted. I saw that on my motor as well. It still had the original paint on it, so it was lighter and looked more greenish from the natural oil products and however many heat cycles it went through. Now its painted the proper...

    Engine Paint: Chrysler Blue

    I guess you can look at it this way... If you paint it with the VHT it will look good. Will someone come walking up with the "I'm a Chrysler GOD" t-shirt and break your balls about it? Probably not, but I have had it happen twice when I showed my car... comments about the engine color came...

    Engine Paint: Chrysler Blue

    That's probably the BEST description for that color blue... "Petty Blue".

    Engine Paint: Chrysler Blue

    '65 Plym Sport Fury 383 BB - Mopar Turquoises Blue - available on Amazon. DO NOT USE THE VHT paint... it's not the right color for early-mid 60's Turquoise blue. Here's the link. It's very good paint, sprays really well, and covers excellent. Handles the exhaust manifold and engine heat...

    Curious on Block year vs. Car year... 65 Sport Fury..64 383 block

    From the day I started looking closer at my motor, I felt I had a Chrysler block. I don't know why I would have one in there, but odd things like the oil cap and PCV were blue, when I repainted them black, I sanded them down...and it was blue to the metal, so it's not like someone painted them...

    Intake insulation pad,,,

    For what it's worth... Look at what s left of my original pad. That's definitely not worth what they're asking to make one. If was going to replace it, I was going the hand made route, knowing you cant see it or even the fancy stickers on it anyway.

    Intake insulation pad,,,

    I'm having the same issue with the 65-66 center console tach sold by Mopar Mall. I ordered it in May... Still nothing. Not sure of Covid knocked out the guy that makes them, or some other issue. I'm calling today to get my money back.

    Where do you guys find all this info? Inet is not specific to 383 stampings. Just gives specs on the motor.

    Intake insulation pad,,,

    My best guess... Just there to hold down the padding. I saw no other purpose for it. So out it came
