Mine is a 383 auto. It's a one legged. I believe you are looking for a sure grip or track lock

Bruce H Canam. Posi is a GM term. We don't talk GM here. Sure grip was an option. How common, not sure. I would think it would be very with the muscle cars. I would think HI-PO 383 is sure grip. I'm not an expert. Hope this helps.

After many years of 66-67 B-body watching, I have found the suregrip option absent on most automatic trans cars with or without 383 (most hemi cars have it).
Seems more 4 speed cars had the option.
I have or had: 1- 67 Charger 383 hp 4spd., 2- 440 hp 67 w/AT, 66 383 AT all with no factory suregrip.

Mine is a 67 383 HP automatic with suregrip. Original with the car.

I have a 67 383 4sp Charger, came with an 8 3/4 3.23 Suregrip. I think it was about a $50 option, but it seems less common. Dana 60 in bigger engine cars, partularly with 440 4sp.

I have the same Suregrip and my car was a special order. Was always curious how many special order cars there were for the 67.

Attached some info I received from the Chrysler Museum folks when I requested a build card. These specs are for 1967 Charger but show the sure-grip option was available for automatics.

From everything I've seen, read etc. There was no 383 2bbl as they list on those sheets. A 361 2bbl was an option but they are rarely seen especially with a 4 speed.

Would that not be the basic 383? When from the factory the 383 4bbl would have been the 383 HP block.

Yes but not in a 66 charger.

The sheets are specific for 1967 Charger. Sorry for the confusion. I put them on to show that sure-grip was offered as an option for automatics. 361s were available in 1966 but not in 1967 that I am aware of. I added the "1967 Charger Only" to clarify the earlier post.

Yep, sorry got lost in the info stream. 361 in 66 and 383 2bbl in 67. Anyone looking for a 66 Charger to build? I know of 4 in my area.
