Ok that makes a lot of sense thank you!

Ah that makes a lot of sense, thank you! I just found it strange that the code for a 383-2bbl was listed in the decoder but now with what you said that means that the 383-2bbl was an option for a different car but standard for mine? Thanks a bunch both of you guys I appreciate it.

Huh weird. Well in this case it’s most decidedly a 383 and also the original engine. Now I’m curious to see why that’s marked differently. Maybe someone else will know!

Thanks! Out of curiosity though, I see that I have “99” for my “ab” row which equates to “standard cid engine 8 cyl ( w/ positive crankvent system)” what do you think that means? I understand the 8 cylinder part obviously but it’s a 383 with a 2 barrel so why not list it as such?

Hey guys! I was trying to figure out some things about this car but can’t find a decent Newport decoder around. Would any of you guys be able to help me decode this or point to a place that would have the info I need? I found some Cuda and charger decoders but obviously a less popular (or...

Thanks a bunch! Happy to be here.

Thankfully no fluid in the cylinders it’s actually pretty solid. Worst storage possible I’m afraid. It was parked outside for 50 years. Since it’s a 383 it’s easy to see if water got in the intake and after removing the intake it was bone dry. Engine oil had no fuel or water in it so I have no...

Ah thanks a bunch. I’m letting the engine cylinders soak for a week in atf/acetone and try again. Might remove the starter before trying as well.

Ah shows what I know. Thanks a bunch! So can I safely assume that (granted it hasn’t grenaded) that what gear I see on the dash is correct?

Hey there guys! I have a manual on order for my 1965 Newport but I’m the meantime for my “revival” I was looking into the transmission. From what I’ve heard in my year they used a cable shifted system akin to the older push button cars. Now for me what I need know a bit more about is a bit...

Thanks!

Howdy folks! I’m a guy from Oklahoma who drug a 1965 Chrysler Newport from my Grandfathers field on his ranch I live at. It was originally my Great-grandfathers and was supposedly parked in the early 70’s but all information is out of living memory I’m afraid. In fact the only reason this car...
