"Is the block stamped HP like 68-70?" Yep, on the pad by the distributor it's stamped 383 and then below it's stamped HP. the build date is Nov 70. In just thought if someone has the car and is looking for it, it's available.

I just got a 383 complete engine. Build date of November 1970. It's an HP block; # 1B264795 Car is probably from the Southern Ontario region. Hamtramck Mich. plant produced?

Thanks- That's an interesting take on the trim around the back. I did have a long time mopar restoration guy also say that it was factory, because of the way the studs were put on. I took the trim off though and have kept it. We then ground off the 'rivets/studs' when doing the bodywork 2 years...

Got the vacuum/timing issue sorted out. It was a bad diaphram in the brand new distributor. Installed another new distributor; The timing advances perfectly now when hooking up the vacuum hose from distributor to carb. Even the idle vacuum is now up around 16 inches from the 9 inches that it...

The guy working on the dash and instruments had an OE speaker and he put it in. cost me $100. We thought we had the am radio working but just static. Antenna is good. Ive got a guy who says it's no big deal--dried out capacitors? I'll pull the radio out and send it in. We added a stripe to...
