2nd test drive on new 383
I had to play with the timing alittle, now it's alittle to high, but it run real good. Feels very strong. Next to get the new exhaust on. And stop a small trans. line leak. I also got my hood back on. I think it got alittle warped while hood was off. I had it laying flat. It's a new big block hood that I had painted and put on before I pulled the old engine out. There is two places that are alittle high when the hood is closed. I went with the big block hood because of the air gap intake. I have about alittle over a half inch of space from the middle of the air cleaner to the hood when closed. I'm using an K&N top and three inch filter, the base is for a big block '65-'69 part # 41255 from Eckler's.
