Please don’t wrap the steering wheel. Ha. Kidding, do it your way! It’s nice

Ok what carb should be on a 71 383? Holley? What markings are stamped on it and where? Air horn? Date?

 

[gpm6367]

I’m guessing this is an aftermarket Holley judging from its finish and electric choke. I can see the place for factory choke in the intake. Are choke parts reproduced?

Anyone have pictures of original carbs including air horn stamping ?

I have my original '71 383 Holley carb in a box. I will get some pics of it today. How much do you want us to nit pick your engine bay?

Have at it! I want to know everything that’s not correct. You will likely save me the time posting individual questions.

Liked what’s with this jumper off negative on battery?

The solenoid on drivers inner fender well?

Why is a port on breather plugged?

Missing a heat riser and tube off drivers exhaust manifold for air cleaners?

Mickey Mouse fuel line?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Here is the correct Holley carb for a '71 Challenger 383 Man Trans.
List 6191
For my car 2530 Date Code = 253rd day of '70
I will work on your other questions.

Great pics. Thx. The post above gave 2 list numbers and neither was 6191.

Why does my seemingly aftermarket carb have a 2551 julien calendar date? 255th day if 1971?

2nd pic - Jumper off negative on battery - Looks like a secondary ground was added. The two small black wires attached to the rad. support should be bolted to the hole that the red jumper is attached to.

4th pic - Solenoid on drivers inner fender well - That looks ok. Except the red wire going to the left should have a fusible link wire which I don't see.

Port on breather plugged - The larger port goes to the air cleaner. The smaller port goes to the carb float bowl vent tube which is on the correct carb I posted.

The heat riser "stove pipe" is missing on the drivers side exh manifold along with the flex hose that would then go to the air cleaner.

Yep, incorrect fuel line to the non-factory carb.

Incorrect wiper blades.

Incorrect rad and heater hose clamps - should be corbin style.

Incorrect rad cap.

Negative battery cable end should be bolted to the intake manifold bolt.

Spark plug wire loom behind the top radiator hose is missing the plastic retainer. More than likely there are other looms missing too.

Incorrect throttle return spring.
That's about all for now

Thank you for the checklist! I sweat the details...

Looks like rear and quarter glass are original.

I raised both door glass but cannot find markings. Where are they marked?

Door glass etchings are visible in the lower corner above the door handles.
Front and rear glass are also etched.

I’ll have to check door glass again. The windshield was changed but rear is original.

here’s some shots of repro glass if anyone is interested. Put all new tinted in mine. I kept all the originals but the driver door had the usual line and the wiper line on the windshield that’s wouldn’t come clean up buffing.

Thank you. A pictures worth a thousand words. No way I missed those so I believe my door glass is unmarked?

Where did you get your glass?

 

[gpm6367]

Wow. I have it on good authority that this is my original combination. Polarizing. Why not go with the black and white houndstooth? That would be sharp.

Orange and red? Seriously?

I'll look through my file today and get back to you. I also still have the originals in the box the new tinted glass came in.

AMD was who I purchased from. Also a pic of the markings on one of the door glasses. All appear to be the same.

How did that AMD glass fit and I don't believe it is dated coded is it? I know that you can get date coded glass from ECS.

 

[fasjac]

The glass fits as good as it gets. I think there was a date option on some other vendors but, didn’t have it tinted and the money didn’t make since if memory serves. Since not much is original to the the factory build. I just really wanted the Chrysler marking on it. I don’t guess I know how to read the date code on the set of original glass I still have. ?
And it seems like 10 years ago, that was the only vendor that had the tinted style, which is what I wanted. Replaced all 6 pieces.
It really looks good IMO
