Really appreciate this post as it sums it up very well. One last question: with all these different variants of HP383s, will they all be stamped HP On the right side block pad? Steve weim55 Colorado

This was decades ago, but I can remember these details: Friend with a ‘62 chrysler and 727 died, another friend of ours worked in a transmission shop and set him up with a replacement and installed it. Replacement transmission was from a ‘63 and had the park provision. Picked up a park lever...

OK, lots of good information here. My main takeaway and question that I was most curious to answer: Camshaft. Would make perfect sense Road Runner cam would only be used in factory applications with no AC And the lighter A/B bodies.

CBody67 and others, thanks for the replies and information. It’s the actual components that differentiate (if any) 330 vs 335 383s that I was curious about. As you mention Cbody67, Camshaft, windage tray, unsilenced air cleaner, and mufflers Are the differences and enough to really up the game...

Will a factory installed C body68-71 HP 383 include all of the same components as the B body (road runner)? HP Camshaft, windage tray, 906 heads etc. ? Steve weim55 Colorado

Sticker price on this car was $7,300 in 1970, WOW (??!!) Steve weim55 Colorado

Are you aware of what Wheels I would need to find that would fit those 300G wheel covers? I was curious if later 60s 15 inch C body wheels might work better? Steve weim55 Colorado

OK, finally switched out the original 14” rolling stock for new Nexen AH5 whitewall 235/75/15s. Wheels are mid 70s. 15” OEM road/rally wheels that I sandblasted and painted topped w/ Nice set of 300 G wheel covers. While the wheel covers fit the later 15s” , they are a bit tight on the rim, and...

That’s the first time I’ve ever seen bucket seats in a full size that was not a hardtop or convertible(?!) any reason to think those front seats are not factory to the car? Steve weim55 Colorado

My point exactly, of the hundreds of thousands of vehicles that go through those tolls per month the old vehicles with YOM plates is like a teaspoon of water in a bathtub. There are many other changes that have occurred in vehicle licensing that follow the same ‘Sweeping crumbs’ example but I...

YOM plates have been legal for registration on vintage vehicles here in Colorado for decades. At the same time the population has exploded and I’ve noticed new lever turners at the DMV are scrambling to collect every last cent Possible. The latest “ improvement” is to outlaw YOM plates because...

I would have a question for you, and then suggestion on how to reach your goals: Old guys like me that reached driving age in the malaise area of the 70s have a point of reference for “ performance” that is wildly different for younger people from the computer/fuel injection generation. A well...

If you really start to add up the the extra labor to do a PROPER quality color change I don’t think it’s any exaggeration to say it’s easily double. A number of things will have to be removed from the car to execute that color change. Everything that you remove carries the risk of some sort of...

Yes, I do have a Hollander covering the years 65 through about 75. Let me know what you want to cross and I can check it out when I am at the house on Monday or Tuesday. Steve weim55 Colorado

“Torky” here at Cbodies might be the same guy(?) try to PM him. Steve weim55 Colorado

I can’t answer your question personally, but : if you go to the 1961/1962 Chrysler Facebook page post a picture of your data plate and there’s a guy on there that is requesting as many of these as possible to put together consistent decoding. He will know which engine code yours is. Steve...

I was bummed he never told us what quarter-mile time the car ran Steve weim55 Colorado

I’m the guy that loves horsepower, but can’t stand loud exhaust. I played around with various types of exhaust systems to achieve what I like. On my 12 second 1/4 Buick GS I run long case Walker 17749 Mufflers through a 2 1/2 inch system. Very mellow and quiet. A mistake that I made: The system...

What he said plus one more: The likelihood of the outer balancer ring having moved on the hub over the years making the timing mark inaccurate is VERY common. Carefully set timing by ear until performance comes back and you can set proper idle calibration on the carburetor. May have jumped 1...

Well, your post certainly got my attention! I’ve never thought of adding white walls, didn’t even know it could be done. Guessing I can just surf on the Internet and find a little information about that. Probably like many of us here my car is certainly a driver, to the tune of about a couple...
