Opinions please......... After making a pitstop this morning at the local market place I got in and tried to start the car. No deal. It turned and turned and turned. So rather than killing my battery I popped the hood and did a methodical inspection in attempt to find the problem. Bingo. No...

My valve covers. Used RTV Blue and Fel-pro gaskets to seal them up. That worked great, absolutely no leaks at all the first time. Unfortunately I just had to remove them to get at the heads. Now the damn gasket material will not separate from the RTV and remove off the cover itself. Any sure...

Partial Throttle Kickdown module. Unique to 71' and up cars is my understanding. Would like to convert mine (70) Anyone know where these can be had? Found this, however it says it will only fir 66 to 69 T-flites...

Alright so long story short. Here's are cylinder comp numbers for my 70' 383: #1 125lbs #3 90lbs #5 90lbs #7 120lbs #2 120lbs #4 ZERO #6 90lbs #8 120lbs I did a comp test (dry) because over time (4-5 months) the motor started to run worse and worse, and began to have a misfire (which...

I got no power in my car, except for the fact the starter will spin the 383 over. No lights, radio, dash lights, door buzzer, no nothing except the for the starter....but the motor will not catch, so kind of dead in the water so to speak. I was at a paintball game/shoot out in the NJ pine...

Original motor mounts. Pulled these off while enduing the 40 yr flood that was occurring here yesterday in North East. Or more appropriately, they just came off, in pieces. So glad they didn't let go during Carlisle, on the PA Turnpike Got new poly locs......which will most likely out last the...

Fuel line in yellow. QUESTION:This is just a mockup, but how long can this be (fuel line dist between the pump & carb)? The pump is standard 383/440 carter fuel pump with output at 6-7psi. I'm experimenting with the routing to get away from heat sources but I also do not want to accidentally...

Found a collapsed lifter on the pass side....which explains the slight tapping sound I can hear. I can push one of the rocker arms on cyl #4 up and down ever so slightly. I'm gonna remove it and replace it and the rest with a fresh set for standard Chrysler "b" engine.....can I get away with...

I'll soon be replacing the hydraulic lifters in my 383 with a set of new ones.....metallic tapping sounds like one has collapsed on pass side...I know its not an exhaust leak, that sounds different from this. Question is this: In the past have you typical soaked your lifters in oil before...

Ok I need a bit of schooling..... Last time I did anything with a transmission was years ago. It was a 904TF in one of the Dodge Chargers I once owned (72' & 73'). I took it to a tranny shop where I used to live and they dump/flushed the old fluid, made some adjustments (it wasn't shifting...

Ok, for once now I'm the noob for this evening.:sSig_noob: My normally dependable and great running 70' 383 Newport did something it has NEVER done before (in fact I've never owned any Mopar that has done this, although I've heard scary stories from others about their mopars acting up this way)...

Anyone in PA/NJ/DE area have this done? If so where at?? I'm looking to do the same.

I have either an exhaust leak (right side exhaust log) OR noisy, sticking lifter. I've had exhaust leaks before; that slight tick, tick, tick sound,-I'm sure all are familiar with that. However, although it is a bit louder, the noise calms down after driving a distance. You can barely hear it...

This is for those of you who live in NJ and submit their daily driver, if you have one, to the draconian NJ motor vehicle inspection process. Ever had any problems passing the inspection for emissions testing? I've failed twice (2nd time was half hour ago) now for excessive CO%,......the...

One of life's PITA's; I got a striped carb stud on my Edlebrock performer intake. Yes, its my own damn fault trying to lock a bracket down, I tried to give the nut one more spin for good measure while I was installing new throttle and kickdown cable parts..irony of it all is the hard part...

This is crazy, OR am I missing something.....doing a fast and dirty new fan clutch swap at lunch time. Are the bolts from the OLD clutch to be used with the NEW clutch (there were no new bolts supplied with this new clutch -- a Hayes clutch)?? ....they are threaded, been there for 40 plus yrs...

This is going to sound silly but this is nawing at me and I gotta know what others think after all that's what forums are for right?:beermug: I just installed Sunpro oil gauge (mechanical gauge) under the dashboard (I don't trust "check oil light" for obvious reasons). So here's whats...

A few weeks ago I bought a brand spanking new Edlebrock 650cfm AVS carb to go on my 383. Did the install, everything went well on start up: no erratic idle, no vacuum leaks, no fuel leak or smell, yada yada, and WOT down interstate 295 are beautiful (ever time). Fast forward to now: WOT is still...

Can any carburetor/linkage whizzes out there explain (from looking at this pic) what part of the linkage actuates the "kick down" action needed to pass a slower vehicle whilst on the highway??...where is this adjusted at?? I just installed a new Edelbrock AVS and everything went hunkey dorey...

Anyone care to suggest a good timing chain/sprocket gear set up...have good experience with any particular brand??? Getting ready to pull heads off my 383 for a valve job and since I'm there I'm going to replace stock factory cam with the P44552783 piece. Don't have much experience in...
