Hi to All,
Spent a day under the back half of my recently acquired '67 383 Dart (tail shaft seal and exhaust) and another day under the front. Fixed a couple of oil leaks and one exhaust leak. Tightened up the steering box and put new plugs in it.
Here's one of my dilemmas- Put a timing light on it last night, but it was not clear what's going on with the timing. Kind of tough getting a good look at the timing marks. Disconnected the vacuum advance and plugged the vacuum line. The three marks on the timing indicator are illegible. Dusted off my timing light I haven't used for 40 years!
I'm just getting to really know this car and my question is- what engine do I have? The engine casting # is 2468130 with an "LL" and mfg date of 4/27/67. Anyone want to chime in and enlighten me with the info? Not hearing back from the PO and would like to know a little bit more about this car. Also would appreciate any advice on the proportioning valve for the brakes. The rear brakes are doing all the work. The PO upgraded the front brakes with a setup from a '71 Dart.
Thanks in Advance, BobG450
