Some of you may have been following some of my threads and know I am looking to purchase another collector vehicle. I was focusing my search on a 64 Sport Fury or a 67 Charger. Well I ran across this and after a little research, I had to have it. No haters please, at least it’s not a Ford.
Never done that but have read about it. It seemed to come into play more with the all in one hydraulic TO bearing, at least thats when I became aware of it. Then again all my clutch jobs used a stock OEM bell housing so maybe I was out of the loop.
It is easy for those of us with nothing to lose to tell you to not worry.
I've had a few different mini starters in the big block cars. They came with a bolt on offset terminal adapter, I run without one to keep the cables closer to the block and away from the header.

Thanks for the help everyone!

For the barbed fitting, the local ace hardware store has a brass fitting with a 3/8" barb and a 3/8" NPT. Its in a package marketed toward air tools or air hose. That's just a packaging...
I bought the starter version of some of those tools, like a vise mounted bead roller and a HF bending brake all to have new toys and patch my floors. Same attitude, it’s not perfect but it gets covered anyway. Some people saw the patches and said it looked good but I never know if those kinds of...
The E on the block tells us model year 1969 and a 7-23-68 casting indicates a 69 model year block. The H because it’s a 383 and the G because the OP said so in post 3.
If you get modeling skills together or a 3d scanner you can do a lot of things, I was looking at signal switches and with all the plastic I wonder if that’s a candidate, assuming if the plastic cracking is why they go bad.
