Hi John, thanks for this. No, there aren’t any ‘60s American cars at all here in my part of the world - just mine. I’ve had a love of them since I was a kid in the 1970s when they weren’t that old themselves! I have all the manuals in searchable .pdf which are from MyMopar.com so will have a...

Hi everyone, the mystery continues but your response has helped us establish it definitely is a 383..... thank you so much... I stopped driving her a couple of months ago after hearing a localised knock & coaxed her gently the rest of the 2-3miles home. She is normally a really strong, quiet...

Hi there, currently my car motor is in bits at my local garage. The mechanic isn’t convinced the engine is a 383 as we’ve always thought. He reckons the number in the pic reads 2408518 10.... any ideas would be really appreciated. Thank you.

My excellent and experienced mechanic friend who works on the trickier stuff on my ‘67 Monaco Wagon 383 2BBL in a land far, far away here in the Scottish Borders kindly gave me this.... He said it has practically magical properties and is so advanced you can leave it in your engine for a while...

Thank you, I def need a new one... Found one (part no. #3835B) at last! at quadrajetparts.com $24.95 plus shipping to here in UK. They seem to have a huge range of useful stuff.

Thanks very much will check it that way.

Thanks Joseph, saw those but not 100% convinced one of them world fit as says Carter & Holley. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this or knows where I could try? I’ve ordered one from eBay in USA, but am worried it’ll take too long to get here so was looking for someone to FedEx one fast.

Struggling to find one here in the UK, for my ‘67 Monaco Wagon - but no luck so far - my carb has been totally rebuilt but I need a new Stromberg 3-276 Choke Pull Off the OE 2448971 I think. Help please! Many thanks once again.

Thanks for that - great resource to keep to hand

SORTED! All it was was the plugs had got filthy from rich stop starting during carb rebuild. New BOSCH 4236 plugs & that’s it good to go! Thanks everybody once again

NGK Spark plugs very dirty, I’m renewing them with BOSCH Platinum....

Thank you Robert I agree, just totally lost on what he could have done wrong. .... it sounds ok at idle it’s just when you rev it or pull away it’s gutless even when floored & only firing on about 5 or 6 cylinders

Hi there, thanks for this - I’ve ordered a new set of plugs so will be interesting to see then & I’ll let you know. I managed to find one set here on the uk on eBay to suit & they are Bosch Platinum 4236. Also await the new carb mounting gasket from Rock Auto this week. My latest notion that...

Well, it’s still exactly the same. No power & very lumpy not firing on all 8... The thick carb base mounting gasket/flange had disintegrated during removal so he just put the thin card ones back & it’s sitting lower & closer to the inlet manifold.... could this be causing it please? My first car...

Hi there, I’m taking it back to the garage first thing this morning here in Scotland, UK. He says he was going to try the fast idle setting first. We both have no knowledge of this carb unfortunately. I’ll mention vacuum advance, no idea what this is though. The timing was good & set before the...

I’ve just had the carb completely cleaned & overhauled with all new Hygrade parts. However... it’s now not firing on all cylinders & is down on power. Idles fine, it just becomes obvious when you drive it. Any help would be gratefully appreciated as always.

Thank you for that, much appreciated.

Thanks Gerald, I assume it's just a good quality universal Manual Choke Kit I need? Also, are there any pointers/threads/videos you could let me know about how to do this - the car starts up fine if I manually close the flap & releases itself ok but it would be much better to have the manual...

Thanks very much for this - I’ll do these things. Meanwhile, not sure about where the horizontal push slide slotted rod in the foreground should be adjusted to & what it actually does. Also, where the rod that pushes up through one of the three vertical slots (what do they even do?) in that...
