In Agreement,

The 'old' Edelbrock 'Torker 383' worked wonders on the 383 with an Automatic.

And 'long tube' Headers > 1 3/4" Primary x 42" Tube Length.

That combination, put out incredible Mid-Range Torque.

Yes, it does... A Y2K build: 69 Coronet build. We found an unmolested 70 Magnum 383, down to the R.R. air cleaner. Rering /lap the valves( bucks down H.S student build) Mild Crower cam ( close to 440 specs,quicker ramps)Former 383/ 3310 up top. He went with massaged 383 Magnum manifolds/stock converter /3:23 pig. First pass at Famoso(100 degrees ,at midnight...) Went 14'0's -13:80's @ 101-2 first time ever(driver & car..) at the strip. I considered it,a good night.
