Its my fault for posting on one platform (desktop) and then editing it on my mobile to post the pictures. I know it deleted some of the post and I never gave it a final proofreading again after it reposted. It’s a ‘68 Chrysler with 383 (and automatic - never would have guessed they used...

Thank you. I see on The Carb Shop's website he states: Therefore, the numbers moulded on the carb may well be meaningless. I would think they must mean something to someone or they would not have been put on there but I suppose that could just be an external casting number and the internals...

Looking online for rebuild kits, I checked out Rockauto and they list 2 different ones for 1968 BBD for a 383. WALKER PRODUCTS 15479B and STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS 1565B from: Rock Auto The Carb Doctor lists one which is the same style as the Walker one from Rockauto but the carb numbers...

Well... No. First I would have to search for Carter and that number on the carb does not tell me if it is stock or off something else nor if it’s the model number. As for trusting what is posted online I see enough contradictions and corrections and back and forth on here, alone, to know even...

Is it the C in the circle that identifies it as a Carter? Also, how does it identify as a 4421s? It only has “6-1790” cast on it?

Time to rebuild my carb. Problem, I am not sure the model/make so I can order the proper kit. I will post some pictures of it. (Also, if you notice anything off - springs, clips, wires, etc in the wrong place, please let me know - I am still learning.) Thank you, in advance!

Yes, older thread but it was recommended at the bottom of the page. I am now subscribed.

I have to ask why a Group 27? The size? CCA? Or?

Time for another battery. Costco’s book only goes back to the 90’s. What would be a good one to get from there? 1968 Chrysler 383 automatic just regular street driving. (If anyone asks why there, I’m a business member (so I get money back), good return policy and no complaints on previous...

Okay, I did get a “fart back” through the carb before I rotated it 180 so maybe I’m on the right way again! It’s dark (it’s in the driveway, so I’ll wait till tomorrow and had to hook up the trickle charger as the battery was wearing down). It’s not a Cardone, it’s an Autoline points...

Okay, so I painted my engine so when I took the old distributor out I did not mark it. I thought I had the new distributor in the correct way but it would not start. I turned it 180 degrees (never done this before - do you just pull the distributor and turn the shaft 180 degrees then...

You are going to get all sorts of posts asking if you have dreams of driving the car and of how you are sleep driving (like sleep walking, but happens with Mopars). Or of how your wife/children are taking the car out when you are not around (or awake). Or maybe something like in 'Ferris...

27 IS cold as water freezes at 32. Fun story. A friend is an engineer and another flew in one day from Southern Cal and was super excited to see all the cars in the firm’s parking lot plugged in and he kept going on about how great it was everyone had electric cars. Then there’s the other...

I went this evening and picked it up. Thank you. The basic version. Just a note for those in Canada, a manager at Canadian Tire told me their product is priced way too high and the only reasonable way to purchase their products is when they are on sale (often 66 - 75% off on sales).

Off eBay? (The brackets). I looked at ones on there as my alternator bracket was sheered in two somehow. I just welded it when I priced out the brackets locally. I should have painted them when I had them off but I wanted to throw it back together the same day and drive it. That’s a...
