Did you decode your fender tag? Could be a special order....

Because sources like on line VIN decoders don't give you the details.

The letter G only tells us it was a 383. There is no distinction between a 383-2 or 383-4 designated in a 66 VIN. You have to know what body style you are talking about to determine if it's a 2 or 4 bbl.

There was no 383-2bbl in a 66 B body. You could only get the 383-4 in a B body.

Hamtranck Historical is your friend: http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/dealerships/1966DealershipDataBook-04.shtml

66 Coronet 500 hard top. 383-4. Built at Lynch Road plant.

69Coronetrt is dead on.

Only a 4 barrel 383 in a 66 Coronet.

Next motor down was 361- changed for 67 when the 383-2 replaced the 361.

Then the H code was the 383-4, which is what most people think of.

Lots of decoders don't catch that.

...and the 66 Plymouth FSM has an error, and all the codes are off by one letter!

Looks good and solid.

I remember discussing 361 (F) vs 383 (G) and another car- red maybe 440 model.

 

[terzmo]

66 coronet with 383....."G" was a 2 barrell option in 67. "G" was 383 4 barrell in 66. "H" was a hemi in 66
"H" is a 383 4 barrell in 67

 

[HEMIHUNTER]

Ooh, your good, I went with this one because I wanted a REAL DEAL big block 4sp, and the 500's in 4sp ONLY came with a 361,383 or HEMI no small block 4sp 500's.....

this thing is SOLID, no holes ANYWHERE
