I ended up getting my 383 stroked to 496 and getting a set of heads from Bruce Toth. Ported and polished, really quality heads from him. Runs VERY strong and everything fit up like a dream.

Does any company repop the 68 Power Bulge Inserts...and do they REALLY fit a true 68 Bee hood?

Okay, I see the internal depth difference now! I will have to dig into my files but the glass was bought from a very reputable company, and more expensive than most. I even bough the smoked pieces, they look great. I appreciate the help gentlemen and will give this a try. Mocajava

I have the new "whiter" versions and have sanded them down to less than half the original thickness. I have also rounded them down to a point but haven't addressed the width. I am guessing NO ONE would recommend trying to flex the original channels, I am afraid of bending the chrome exterior or...

To all I ordered and received new windows for my 2 door, 69 Coronet. I also ordered the new sets of plastic "shims/slides" for the door windows. I had to pull windows several times as the windows were very tight going up and down in the curved channels. Every time I removed them I would take...

Not sure if this helps but I put a 4L80E, GM 6 speed behind my 383 and di massive mods to tunnel nd frame supports for the tranny. This is a picture of tunnel, going from OE 727 to the huge GM. Good luck with your mods! Mocajava

Just got the header insulation wrap and waiting for the starter blanket to come in. It will be a PIA to pull starter and headers to get this done but seems like the smart thing to do. Doing it all with car up on jack stands, on my back on garage garage floor. I REALLY miss my 4 post lift!

I am upgrading my battery BTW, Going to the biggest I can get and I may have misspoke about cable size to starter. The cable itself (copper wire) is about 3/8" in diameter plus the shielding and what was recommended by the research I did. I know I will be taking starter off when I do header on...

Thanks for the advice 64Fury, I am having hopes I can cure this.....I also have #2 cable for power, one size smaller for the ground. The header is only 3/4" away from starter and since this is definitely a heat issue, I will be wrapping the headers as well as an insulator for the starter. I...

I do have the wires encased in an insulator sleeve and will try some type of wrap or sleeve on the starter. The engine only has about 150 miles on it, starter is brand new and maybe I can eliminate the problem by wrapping it before I have to replace the starter. Thank you gentlemen, I appreciate...

Checked all the contacts again and and they are tight. I do have a jump box I carry BUT...finding and curing the issue will give me more security than knowing I have to take a jump box all the time. I would appreciate any comments on a shield or wrap and what good or bad experience anyone has...

I do have engine grounded to chassis, everything was sandblasted before I started this project.... totally clean. I ran ground straps, tranny and engine to frame, after scraping down to bare metal. I will try a heat deflector/ shield on starter first plus run an auxiliary ground straight to...

I neglected/ forgot to mention that I have headers with a tight fit and a high torque mini starter. In thinking more about your comment about starter, maybe a need a good heat shield or wrap to deflect and insulate against the heat issues. Any suggestions on the recommendations for insulator...

I have a 69 Coronet with a 383 stroked to a 496, with a new wiring system for the entire car. The battery is mounted in the trunk with a heavy cable running forward and through a cutoff switch. My compression ratio is about 11 to 1 and gage reads about 13.7-14 amps while running. She starts fine...

Try Detroit Muscle Technologies in Warren MI, I have got all my seals from them. Great people to work with and ship stuff fast. Explain what you need and most times they have installed and know the issues. Mocajava

Welcome from North Carolina! We HAVE to see pictures of your find, part of the indoctrination....

My Coronet and still a project... She has been transported more miles than I have driven her! LOL, from AK to CO and now North Carolina.

This is what she looked like when I started.....a labor of love as most of you have experienced. Thanks

As requested, picture of my 69 Coronet. My screen name is Mocajava, that is the name of my favorite chocolate lab that passed away 6 years ago...I named him that because of his color and that he used to wake me up at 4;00 AM every morning when he was a puppy....like a good cup of coffee! The...
