Hard start after hot soak...it's never vapor locked while in operation.

Seems to be a good argument for keeping a carburetor on our vintage engines. The AVS2 650 I have on my 383 really does work quite well...very snappy performance at all RPM's/load levels and great gas mileage. However, summertime vapor lock issue is present sometimes on 90+ South Carolina summer...

My Lunati Voodoo cam most definitely had the black Parkerizing coating on it.

That's a good cam! One step milder than the one I have in my 383.

Comp still owns Lunati from what I understand. They'll definitely know about the Lunati Voodoo line of cams. The 256 cam should work about us well with your lower compression G code 383. Lots of guys have put higher profile/rumpier cams in lower compression 383's and them seem to work pretty...

440 source heads definitely work on a 383. I have a 68 H code 383 in my sport fury. It is a zero-deck engine...standard bore 4.25" factory pistons align perfectly with the top of the deck. I used a .039 felpro gasket with the 440 source heads. The engine runs much much better than it did...

You're right Cbody! Sounds like my cam, nor any voodoo cam, is available now!! That's too bad...cant beat it for a heavy c-body.

Check out the Lunati Voodoo 256 cam....love it in my 68 HP 383.

I think you need a Carter AFB size carb...they have a smaller footprint than the AVS/AVS2 size carbs

Nice 68!!! What size T/A's do you have on the Magnum 500's?

Lunati Voodoo 256 cam would be great for the 440. Love it in my HP 383. Awesome cam for a c-body. You wont have to change out that 2.76 rear end.

Dont know for sure without the VIN...."D" or "4" in position 7 on VIN means Belvidere plant build.

Nice find! Looks like a Belvidere IL plant build. 383 2bbl also!

AVS2 650 has worked awesome on my 68 h-code 383 in my Sport Fury. Couldn't ask for a better carb in my opinion. Purchased it brand new in early 2020. The original AVS from 68 had vacuum leak issues around throttle shaft.

Check sent today Al.

Sounds good Al. I'll send a check to you with shipping included. Just want to confirm that there are no cracks in the black covering on the piece... One I have is cracked...

I'm interested in purchasing the wheel center

Yep, you need to change out that timing gear set. As said, those nylon upper teeth can shred off...yours isnt that bad, but it is definitely worn. A new timing set will definitely increase engine power as timing will not be as retarded due to chain wear. You can see the wear in the upper gear...

I've had great luck with LiquiMoly 10W-60 in my 383 with 135K on the short block. Rings are a bit loose, and it has reduced oil consumption to about 1qt every 2K miles. I put in a bottle of zinc additive with the LiquiMoly. Engine runs very smooth and lunati voodoo cam is a bit quieter with...
