Sorry for the dumb question but I'm not a technical guy. I just bought a brand new Cardone distributor from RockAuto for my 71 Newport Custom 383 2bbl and it doesn't have a solenoid like the original distributor. Is there an upgrade in the new distributor that negates the need for the...

I wasn't even going to put them back on but now I'm thinking I should.

Oh damn you're right. Now I feel dumb. Thanks so much!

So i had some very unorganized help removing my 383 and 727 from my 71 newport custom and these brackets turned up. I didn't take them off so I don't know where they go back on. There's two of them and one seems to be missing the plastic insert. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I know this has been gone over a million times over but I need some help quickly. I'm looking to purchase this pictured trans for my '71 Newport Custom and I can't exactly tell if the tailshaft is a long or short or somewhere inbetween? The seller hasn't responded to my question yet so I just...

I'll take your advice guys. Thank you all!

Hey, if you still have the parts car I'm interested in the front fender very top chrome pieces r & l and the radio. Shipping to Kansas 66046. Thanks!

Thanks all. For some reason MyMopar doesn't have the 1971 Chrysler manual but I downloaded the '70 manual which I imagine would be the same if not close.

Happy Holidays all! So I have the CD version of this manual only, and it just so happens to be missing the two pages that I'm in need of right now, pages 3-16 & 17. Diagrams of the door lock rods, etc on the inside of the doors. If anyone has these I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
