Could very well be. Not know what’s normal makes me concerned about every sound.

What prompted this?

It was the distributor. The innards were so stiff nothing was working. I installed a brand new coil prior. Car runs really good now. Only issue I am concerned about now is the thrum sound. Just sort of a constant thrum thrum thrum I used to think was maybe buffeting in the air grabber hood but...

I had this on my calendar all year and still managed to miss it.

I don't even wash my truck. It got one spot of rust waaaaaaay too early and broke my heart so I just decided to drive it into the ground and not care. The MOPAR gets all the extra care.

Any tips on how to get the valve to stay in place? New grommet didn't do the trick. It slides out so easily. Been using plumber's tape for bow.

Yeah if I want my suspicion about the crank verified I'll have to pull the pan. Maybe this winter since it leaks anyway.

New distributor fixed everything. It’s like a different car.

Beat I could do.

Assuming that is the bolt face and not the engine face I THINK mine is different. And I also don’t see the number markings as are on mine posted a few posts back.

Probably. You guys have to understand there’s nothing for me to compare any of this to and nobody to ask in real life. I’ve spent plenty of time at the local events and attempting networking and there simply aren’t resources to get educated on this old stuff outside of this forum. I see plenty...

long lost research from last night which I am now sour about. You would think these sources would be uniform on data from 50 years ago.

Marks I can’t find in other photos. But I can’t find many photos so I have no idea.

It's what the bolt head may have been indicating given the lack of information about the previous rebuild and lack of competency/interest of the owner in between that build and my ownership. I was clear on that. If the crank is not a 383 crank and the distributor is that would certainly effect...

All of which is solid enough information that it only keeps the same question in place. Why are they supposed to have a smaller bolt yet it seems virtually none of them do?
