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?

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...
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...

Battery Voltage when engine cut...

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 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...
Hi Guys - Sorry for not responding for a while. Been at the drag racing at Santa Pod where I met up with some Dutch guys running a 9.50 second '69 Road Runner. Pretty cool!
MoparLeo - Thanks man - Where can I find more about Hydroboost for the brakes? Is there anywhaere on the forum or...
Thanks for the Welcomes everyone - Much Appreciated!
Plans - Mechanically and body wise car is excellent with a nice patina.
BUT brakes are pretty terrible - Think it's low vacuum 'cos of the high lift cam, so looking to install vacuum reservoir in the short term. Then enjoy driving it, local...
