I'm hoping to take the brackets from a '69 440 to put on a 68 383 so from what you say the lines should be the same? Thanks for taking the time to help me out guys - very much appreciated! Limey

Hi Dave - That's really useful. I didn't know there were 2 types of pump. Think my current pump is the Federal type but as it's fried I'll be replacing it with the correct one for the brackets (if I can find one)! Hope Rock Auto can help. Back to my original question - will the brackets from the...

Hi all,, This is probably a very dumb question, but will the stock power steering brackets from a 440 fit my 1968 vintage 383? I need to change out the aftermarket March Performance billet aluminium brackets (which have never lined up correctly) for stock, and have been offered a set off my...

Thanks for the advice guys - Will give it some thought. Still like to know what the hell the pump that came in the car is though....

Thanks man - Appreciated. Should have said. It's feeding a single Holley 750 on an Edelbrock intake on a 383 stroker.

Hi Everybody, Need some help - The electric fuel pump that came fitted to my Big Block has failed (cooked by the headers I'm guessing) and I need to replace it. Problem is I can't identify what it is - only identifying mark is 1001 stamped into the ally housing. Anybody out there have any ideea...

Hi Steve, Don't know if it's of any help, but here's the install on the 383 on my '68 Satellite - Coil is the yelloe Edelbrock unit lower left. All the Best, Limey

Guys - Think I've cracked it (with your help!) and my newly aquired multi meter. Confirmed no problem with charging system after driving car in most conditions and voltages just fine. Continuity checked all fuses and fuse holders. Cleaned up all earth connections from negative side. Found...

OK - Got myself a Multi Meter and findings as follows: Battery Voltage after 24 hour bench recharge = 12.4v-12.6v Battery Voltage after installing in car and posts connected = 12.33v Battery Voltage with engine / alternator running at (usual lumpy) idle = 14.45v Battery Voltage when engine cut...

Thanks for all the excellent advice all - Especially the comprehensive process from you PurpleBeeper! Lots to think about and work through. Will let you all know how I get on..... All the Best, and Thanks again. Limey

Apologies if this topic hs been covered before, but think I have a battery drain problem and could do with some help as a newbie. Took my '68 383 stroker Sport Satellite out for a 30 mile drive last week, and startup all OK as per usual. Next morning totally dead electrics, no dome light, nada...

Hi Ragnar, Welcome from Sunny South Wales! Where are you in the UK? Always liked that body style Charger... Limey

Hi Ginja - Don't know if this helps but had a similar problem with tools. My sons got me a set of Imperial sockets and an 11 piece combination spanner set for Father's day. About £15 each from from Machine Mart. Spanner set was retrieved from way back in the stockroom so they may need to order...
