    This will get you close on compression if you know your cylinder heads. 62-65 is the range for 273 heads.

    1966 Newport 383 — Factory Mechanical Fan & Spacer Part Numbers?

    FYI.... If another spacer size is needed, Chrysler made several sizes for different applications: The following table lists Chrysler fan spacers: Thickness (inches)Part NumberNotes 0.70 1851960 May be mis-marked as 1851959. 0.90 2265037 1.06 1851959 1.24 1825932 1.30 1851961...

    Wanted Advice On 383 Big Block

    I wouldn't worry too much if it's running good now. That "backfire" was probably just excess gas in the intake manifold from crank/no-start before. When you say intake gasket, do you mean the valley pan or the (sometime) gasket between the head and the intake?

    What is your dream car?

    As far back as I can remember, I wanted a Daytona. They were always just out of reach, price wise. But now the prices are in the stratosphere. This unrestored Hemi Daytona 4-speed checks all the boxes... Another one that would be on the list would be the Stutz Blackhawk Elvis owned. He was the...

    She sees daylight!

    Not much to add, this year has been rather slow for the car and I. I've since given it a new name - THE CRUSTY CHRYSLER. Had to move her outside yesterday temporarily, it hasn't seen daylight in 3 years or so. Still pretty !! The roof looks funny because we put a rust treatment acid onto it...

    NOT MINE Definitely not mine, but I can dream - 300 Hurst convertible

    I came across this 300-H for sale in my latest print edition of Hemmings and was like, "Gah!.... I know that car". and then found this thread here. It's been crickets for a couple months..... This would be a good car for Herb McCandless' museum. You can see engine views in the YooTube...

    That makes the solution simple... Just have the high deck cut to match. I wasn't sure if those had a positive deck height.

    KB 167's sit .010 above deck height. Just be careful using the closed chamber heads as far as piston to valve clearance. I'm not sure what happened, whether they milled both a different amount or just milled one side.

    Plug n play headlight harness upgrade

    As an aside, while in commute traffic in San Jose a month ago, a Prius passed me on the left in the #1 lane with a roof mounted light bar, facing rear. It was blasting the Dodge truck (with contractor bed, and mirrors out) that was about 6 inches from its rear bumper, and obviously pissed off...

    NOT MINE 1971 NY FB 4dr U code

    U Code 440s are very rare in civilian C bodies, especially luxury New Yorkers. This is the third 71 NY U code I am aware of. The other 2 are the well known coupe owned by a member here and a Tahitian Walnut 4 door sedan that I saw on Ebay in the early 2000s. The whole car should be saved...

    Big John knows what he’s talking about, and always has realistic solutions. He rarely recommends a supercharger.
