I know about my 65 383 block is stamp on ID pad HP, called High-Performance 4bbl like below, this engine was already installed in 68 Charger when I brought car from my uncle, my uncle was original owner of that 68 Charger.
Is 65 383HP 4bbl Flat Pistons Compression Height same as 68 383HP 4bbl Flat Pistons CH of 1.932" vs 1.934" or are they different Compression Height. My Block Number 2468130 Date Aug 8 64

Does anyone know thread size for MOOG ES319L because change my old straight grease fitting to 90 degrees fitting. I tried 1/4"-28 it wouldn't tightening up. So I put my old one back in for now. I couldn't find reliable source for thread size, some say 1/4"-28, 1/4"-18 or 10-32. So I brought...
Thanks for the help.
So I won't worry about it because like Bob said above four degree (4°) difference is insignificant
My initial timing is 12 degrees

Innova 5568 Dwell reads 26, set to 8 Cylinders
My old Sun Dwell-Tachometer reads 30, set to 8 Cylinders
Points gap set to .017 with feeler gauge
I think my Innova 5568 dwell option not working correctly.
I like the reading from Sun Dwell-Tachometer
What is correct color for 68 Carter AVS 4401s Automatic ID Tag. Is it natural aluminum silver. Because in MMC Detroit Restoration Reference Manual it says 1969-73 Carter AVS Red tag for Manual Transmission, Blue for Automatic Transmission. Carter AFB Black tag for Hemi. Doesn't say anything...
The choke pull off is functional because choke flap opens about 1/8" or little more and so I did pull the air cleaner lid off and goose the throttle, it didn't pull the plate shut and didn't kill the engine because i can see squirt of fuel when tap throttle from outside of the car
I started my car today in my garage all warm up 185 degree, factory choke didn't open all the way at idle, not open even 1/2 halfway, so running too rich if choke not open all the way at idle, accelerator pump gives very nice squirt.
Timing is initial 12 + Mechanical advance 26= total timing is 38
No vacuum leak because 14 in/hg vacuum because of camshaft not bone stock cam, Motor was rebuild with 383 Magnum camshaft like 68 Roadrunner 383 high performance camshaft. Engine shake very slightly when its idling
Choke opens...
