    Installed the 4bbl on my 383 finally. Have a Question

    Your shift speeds don't seem out of line for a long-legged gear set like that - however, I strongly suggest to all going throug this that for trans longevity, one starts with the factory specified kickdown adjustments for your engine and gear set, then go from their to taylor to your preference.

    Installed the 4bbl on my 383 finally. Have a Question

    It will possibly need some futzing - but there are many here who can advise you on getting that kickdown linkage properly adjusted with an aftermarket carb and intake - I'm not one of those. All I know is that it is IMPERATIVE that you do so, or you'll cook your trans.

    You will also need to ensure that the kickdown linkage is installed and properly adjusted for the transmission from the new carb, otherwise serious transmission damage will result shortly.

    How do I remove water pump housing?

    Been there done that, @Big_John ? Wisdom comes from experience they say.

    Not sure where to post this - Auto Pilot cable question.

    I don't believe so, but it depends on the servo - the speedo end is bigger than the end that goes into the original servo. Your servo is a later one of some description, so I don't know what it has. Here's a link to an original upper speedo cable for an Autopilot equipped 65 and 66 Chrysler...

    Lifter noise at start up

    That's not the first time I've heard that tip.

    Lifter noise at start up

    I assume you set the choke by depressing the gas pedal prior to cold startup, which of course would have the car start more quickly. I expect the oil pump is losing its prime. The oil system could benefit from a few low speed/low effort rotations before the engine stars to help prime the pump...

    1966 727 Neutral Safety Switch replacement

    Hmmm - I don't remember what I paid. I don't think I was gouged, but I don't really have any comparison...

    1966 727 Neutral Safety Switch replacement

    I'm not sure I understand the question... but perhaps you're asking what's available for replacement.... I found NOS, but even aftermarket NSSs were hard to find. In 67 they switched to the 3 pin NSS which you can find easily, but up to 66 they were the single pin version. Thread depth was...

    Thanks John - I figured on all of the above, but just wanted confirmation. Cheers!

    1966 727 Neutral Safety Switch replacement

    The NSS on my wagon has been acting up, and I finally had to resort to grounding it out, which of course is not the safest thing. I sourced a correct NOS replacement (it was actually kind of hard to find), but I thought I'd ask a few questions here before I go ahead and swap it out. 1) It...

    1966 383 Water Pump Numbers

    I just came across this, which might help:

    1966 383 Water Pump Numbers

    2843 290 is the number cast into the water pump on mine. It's genuine Mopar as indicated by the pentastar above the number, but the number indicates it is a later model year version, most likely 67 or 68. I looked in my 67, 68 and 69 catalogues, and nothing comes up for that number. The...

    1966 383 Water Pump Numbers

    Sometimes the part number and the casting number are the same but in this case I don't think so - see my post below. Once you do find the correct casting, keep in mind that there will be a date code cast into the pump too - it should be a date that is prior to the engine assembly date which...

    Gas Tank Sender Gasket......Sealer??

    Following - my wagon's tank recently leaked at the sender, then all of a sudden stopped - and has remained dry ever since. I have the new sender gasket, but never installed it. I figured best leave well enough alone!
