My other thread is full of great suggestions on fixing my issues. And I didn't want to get that thread of track. Am I frustrated with the advice I got from someone...

    Thanks for all the replies and suggestions! Got me a lot to digest. I am not so worried about keeping the set up I have, the guy I bought the car from had it set to just cruise once in a while.

    help please

    So I just finished installing a new cam and heads in my 383. I am having a he'll of a time getting the initial timing setup. It turn over and sounds like it wants to start, but nothing. I tried retarding and advance all that seems to do is backfire through the carb. I'm at a loss.

    new challenger trans swap

    Has anyone tried installing a new challenger automatic in a duster or other A body? I like the idea of a more cruise friendly setup. I looked at the gear vendor od but if a trans swap is possible it seems cheaper. Used 5 speed automatic is $1500+/-. I know a new bell housing is needed but what...

    383 deck clearance

    Does anyone know the deck clearance of a 383b block? Casting number is 2468130 7. Reason I'm asking is I'm thinking of a head swap down the line and trying to figure specs. Current it still has flat top pistons. Also current heads are 346s.

    I have a dual plane edelbrock performer. As for the carb, I guess its time to shop around. Wish I would have asked before I rebuilt the Carb...guess I'll chalk that up to experience.

    carb spacer

    I am running a 383 with a mild purple cam (not sure of the specs) and a Holley 600 double pumper. I keep reading about crab spacers, but don't know it I will benefit from one. What would I gain? And which type is best for me(street use) square, 4 hole or tapered?
