Found 1966 383 2v air cleaner sticker

[darth_linux]

Seems I can find every air cleaner sticker under the sun except the correct one for 1966 383-2v. I get lots of variations and ones that "might" be close but never a definitive replica. If you have one or have a link to one, please share.

Someone repainted my air cleaner at some point and discarded the original sticker.

thank you!

It’s hard for me to say if this is absolutely the correct one for your application but both the ‘64 and ‘67 parts books show the 2402677 as the filter element for 2 and 4 bbl silenced air cleaners. I have a few of these left and they are $12 including a stamp and envelope.

The one on our '66 Newport 383 2bbl is the more common yellow-orange rectangle sticker. Which have been in repro for quite some time. As I recall, from back in the 1970s or so when I was looking for one (though not really needed), the 4bbl items had very minor differences in the wording, but I left the one that came on it on it, wrinkled as it was.

From the cars I saw at the dealership back then (as a customer), never did see one that had white on it until about 1974. But then, what the dealer usually stocked were normal, standard-engine cars, fwiw.

One possible thing I noticed, later on, was that many times stickers, unless for specific things (like emissions tune-up data and such) could be superceeded by a similar later-model item. Especially back then BEFORE the "repro" orientation hit. Back then, "service replacement", as with parts, was more operable.

Might there be differences in the USA and non-USA market vehicles?

Just my experiences,

So it’s not just me. What a relief. I was half expecting someone to tell me to read the FSM, lol! I think I found one on herbs sticker website. Thank you for the help.

Read the FSM!

I see what you did there!

This is the sticker on my 383 2V air cleaner that I have for sale, is it like this one? (yellow and red)

That's the thing - mine is missing. I ended up ordering one that is very similar, but it has the curvy "M" before the Mopar instead rather than the capital M followed by a LONG O vowel . . .

thanks for the reply!

This is the style on my 65 383. Pretty sure it is a copy of the original. I have no idea if they were different for 2bbl or 4bbl air cleaners.

I don’t think there’s a difference for 2bbl or 4bbl.

I got your old carburetor installed today. Running good so far!

Sounds Good. Take it out for a good run and the rich smell should go away. Glad you are happy with it.

Curious - how would the idle mixture/smell change after a good driving?

Are those "correct" spark plug wires? If so, who makes them and where do you get them? The set I have on my car right now seem real chincy and don't give a firm click when going onto the plugs . . . .

I was thinking a good spirited drive would maybe clean up the plugs and some of the gunk off of the valves if that old carb was running too rich and carboned up the combustion chamber and exhaust system some. Couldn't hurt.

The plug wires on my engine have been there so long I really can't remember for sure but they are not Mopar branded wires. I probably bought them at Napa or one of the parts stores. That pic of my engine is back a long time ago. I have since got rid of the single pot master cylinder and upgraded to power brakes and a dual bowl master cylinder. Also my vintage battery is long gone also. You may want to consider replacing the single bowl master on your car down the road too since they can be dangerous if you have a leaky wheel cylinder. Once the fluid get low, you lose all of your brakes. At least with a dual bowl you have a chance of just losing either front or rear brakes.

Yes, adding a dual chamber reservoir from a '67 is on my todo list for this summer . . . thanks for the reminder!

Ah, I get it now. My plugs are in good shape, relatively new Champions. Engine has been rebuilt within the last 5 years I think, and probably under 1000 miles since the rebuild. Not sure since the odometer is broken and I don't have records from previous owners . . . I think I was confusing the idle screws being turned in thinking it would be leaner when it's actually richer, so I backed them out quite a bit and it's running better. I'll do a little more tuning tomorrow.
