    Receiver hitch

    I've seen several references here to a Dakota p/u receiver hitch being used on 66/67 B bodies. I cannot find any post of one actually being used/done. I want to mount one to pull my '76 jet boat periodically. Before someone asks why... "Because I want to." Hopefully someone can point me in the...

    RPM and timing

    Not sure if this is the correct area, 1967 Coronet, 383/496, 3.73 gears w GV overdrive and 26.5" tall tires. Timing is at 18° degrees initial w no vacuum, then 30° w vacuum from manifold at idle. Idles at 850 rpm w 15" vacuum very nicely. Distributor adjusted for 34° total mechanical, so 16°...

If anyone has these, can you tell me, each cylinder, what boot (straight, angle, 90°) you ran to clear headers so...

    Cranks but won't start

    Fresh rebuild, 383 stroked to 496. Installed Fitech FI and set initial startup parameters. Has Comp cams XR280HR hydraulic roller cam. I'm doing this by myself so I can't see if there is actually fuel shooting in when the engine cranks. Installed the brass/bronze intermediate shaft, slot facing...

    Engine gasket sealing

    I've done the obligatory forum search for something showing the nuances of sealing a 383 or 440 engine. I am getting ready to button mine back up. Fresh rebuild on 383 to a 496 stroke. I despise leaks. Is there an article that shows all the little nuances to sealing a B or RB engine? Thanks in...
