Thanks. I guess I assumed that the 383 and 340's would both have the small floats. I'll go with the more conservative 5/16 level.

Any idea why the 340 settings are different than the 383? Basically the same carb.

I have a sheet from a Hygrade kit. All of the settings for the 383 are 5/16 level and 13/16 drop. Settings for 440's and 340's are 7/32 and 23/32. Makes me wonder if the info is legit.

Rebuilding a swap meet 4615 AVS for my road runner. On disassembly I see that it has the small floats and are set at 7/32", while my 4640 with large floats is also set at 7/32". What's the correct setting on these small float carbs? Seems like a lot of conflicting information in my searches!

Has anyone ran Schumacher Tri-y headers to the TTI 2.5 inch X-pipe? What did you use to make the connection? 1969 roadrunner with low deck and 727.

Dr. Diff non-stick.

dvw - it's a slight bump backwards only when revved in neutral, there is no movement at idle. I've never had a trans do this before. The high/reverse clutch is 5 frictions at .084

Clearance for low/reverse clutch is .035 Rear band is 72 inch pounds then backed off 2 turns.

Update: with trans lever positively in neutral, car still bumps back slightly in reverse when throttle opened.

It's a Cope RMVB with a Cheetah shifter. Will check neutral detent/cable position again. Thanks.

Just started up a 727 that I rebuilt. Got the oil level up but have not test driven yet. All seems good cycling through the gears except the trans has a very slight creep in reverse when revved in neutral. Any thoughts on this before I test drive?

I know that at one time the 383's had oil starvation problems due to the rpm's and pan limitations in NHRA Stock. See a lot of accumulators under the hoods now.

I'm just here to admire the bead blasted case.

Unfortunately most of the transmission shops are now gone in the upper midwest. I'd like to ship the original to a shop with a good reputation.

Can anyone recommend a good shop to repair my original torque converter for a 383 road runner restoration? Needs new drive hub and complete inspect/repair. Not interested in any custom builds, just quality work on an OEM. Thanks!
