An easy way to determine a 383 from a 440 is, the 440 has a small rectangular flat area, maybe 1 1/2" by 3" cast in the block at the top, left hand corner. the 383 doesn't have this. This is the clearest picture I could find...

I believe this is correct and please feel free to correct me if it isn't. The picture you show is that of a 489 rear end which means you have the 8 3/4 diameter gear. To find the ratio there should be a small triangular tag under one of the bolts that hold the rear end to the axle housing...

Keep in mind if you make too big of an adjustment you may need a new front end alignment.

My Condolences to the family.

Considering the age of everything it could mean that the speedo head needs some cleaning and some lite lube but I'm not sure what kind of lube. The same with the cable.

That's not so bad then.

It's good to have you back Steve. I didn't realize it's been that long since you were last here.

Interesting story Harold. Guess you won't be driving the GTX to Carlisle with those gears in it!!

I guess someone got coal last year.

I've carried extra ballast resistors in my classic Mopars for well over 20 years and have had to replace maybe 2 while on the road so it is worth having an extra in the car. They are just one of several things that could cause a no start situation and easy to check. You can put a meter on it...

Agreed. While curiosity is part of human nature it doesn't mean that it has to be satisfied. If he wanted to say why, he would have. He didn't. Leave it at that.

The back side of my fuse box has several places where you can plug in extra wires. They take the terminals show below Check yours to see if it has them also.

Looks like a set up to me!

Agreed Ray, that's an F5 car, no doubt. At first I'm thinking that car would look great in my garage next to my coupe, but not at the price after I saw the underside. Absolutely no effort was made to clean it up, what a shame.

I'll believe it when I see it!

It's hard to tell from the pics Harold, but I'd say it looks pretty close to my car. The formula they used when my car was painted was from someone who had done the research when getting their F5 car done, and it's very close to what I believe is the original paint still in the trunk area.

I'll up the stakes to 2.7 K.:)

There are a number of places where you can look. Here are a few and I'm sure there are some I'm forgetting In no particular order, https://www.rosevillemoparts.com/shop/ Classic Industries Year One Vans auto Mega Parts Dantes

I believe that is for the trim panel that covers from the door post to just beyond the front of the rear seat.
