"B" Body 383 markings/badging
My question is this: On a "B" Body 66/67 Coronet, what is the proper badging and air cleaner for a "383". I've seen it several ways. I've seen it with "383 Four Barrel" badging on the side of the car with an air cleaner that reads "383 Four Barrel" and I have also seen it with "383 Magnum" badging with the air cleaner reading "383 Magnum". WHICH ONE IS FACTORY CORRECT FOR A 66/67 CORONET? Appreciate any help on this. Thanks. Don

i have had 3, 66-67 chargers. the chargers came with only V-8 engines, unlike fords mustang. a 318, 2 bdl 383 , had V-8 chrome on side fender. a 383 four barrel had 383 four barrel on the side. i have seen different 383 four barrel stickers i dont know if that is stickers or chrome. the 66-67 chargers was chrome on the fender side. side note on swapping 383 intake manifolds. a car with an air condition has the front edge of the manifold machined for the air conditioner bracket to set on. a non air manifold will NOT fit under a air conditioner bracket. all so do not use any of the 2bdl fittings on the left side of the carb on a 4 bdl they are NOT long enough. this means ALL fittings, bracket, cables, trans linkages. use only 4 bdl stuff on a 4 bdl. or it might bind and and stick open. this is not a troubled with 440 cause 440s didnt have a 2 bdl. swapping a 440 where a 383 2bdl causes the same trouble, only just more so. cause a 440 deck is taller than a 338.
