In my ride its the exhaust it's already diagnosed. You surprised me with the no gaskets post, will defintely give it a go if the surfaces are good. The AI stuff is obviously not to be taken seriously, but can give some suggestions on where to look. And it is getting better as we speak...

And some more from Chat GPT , regarding the question in the thread : A metallic ticking sound on the left (driver’s) side of a 1971 Chrysler Newport with a 383 big-block is usually caused by something in the valve train, exhaust, or accessory drive. Here are the most common causes, starting...

Big John, aren't there supposed to be gaskets ? I have these between head and manifold. More Information for FEL-PRO MS90029 EDIT / ok i just read some on Chat GPT Maybe that's why it blew the gasket on my engine. I'll check the surfaces and maybe mate them without gaskets and give it a try...

another common misconception with ticking/slight knocking sounds, is when the exhaust manifold gaskets gets a blowby. I recently got a similar sound, loud ticking near the left engine side, just after start-up, which gradually goes away almost completely after warm-up , but is still...

i bought my rebuilt RV2 from this guy. The AC is running perfectly and blowing COLD (on 134 conversion) for 4 years now. Had no problems whatsoever, and no leaks. The system is holding charge, and no refill required as of yet. I paid 380 usd incl tax & shipping. I have a 71 Newport 2dr 383 auto.

Very cool !

Somehow i missed this thread. Great work! I would not block off the exhaust crossover in the intake. I have the same valley pan with the blocked port, and regret this, on colder days and mornings, the first 15-20 minutes the car runs like a turd when the engine is cold. However, EFI will...

Talking about engines and scoops, i think once you get that dug out the field its sitting on, it's going to need quite a bit of work. So as not the get ahead of yourself, get it safe and sound and roadworthy first, and then, in my personal opinion, the car would best be suited as a sleeper -...

Pt. 10. Some soviet junk from the communist times. In some of the photos, u can spot the Newport.

Pt.9 of the Berlin trip this year. Back into Poland, heading home. An old war museum with cool weaponry, mostly original, some replicas as well but period correct.

Engine in. Test start and running-in should happen shortly.

On the move with some visible torque twist to the right during acceleration.

When i read crap like this it makes me sick to the stomach. Feel sorry for TFX they had you as a customer ;) And stop crying and whining about your spots of salt, and provenance...

Looks like surface rust. I would just cover it in Krown Rust Control | Protect your vehicle from its worst enemy, rust. Spray it on the oustide of the rust, and most importantly all the inside crevices, rocker panels and frame. I'm sure this would help keep preserve the car in its current form.

A friend of mine just finished painting the grill and rear lamps. Looks good. Its a shame that it'll probably crack again in a few years, cheapo plastic they used from the factory

Brake lines, steering in. Test fitting the dash and bench.

Highly recommend, i have one from Halifax in my 383 and it's running perfectly for years now.

My beater car is in the shop, so for the last 2 weeks i have been daily driving my Newport, work, groceries, dropping my daughter off at school, running errands and all. Autumn is in full swing, rainy, misty and cold. I feel very fortunate i can enjoy this car for all these years since the...

Thank you for the info. I just have a habbit of changing it every oil change/ 1 a year.
