I'm interested in the air cleaner. Can you message me pics? Good condition but needs refinishing. Was it a krinkle finish on air cleaner from factory?

gpm6367

How do those dates work on the coils? 3 digits?


gpm6367

Are these correct for my 71 383 R/T?

Skdmark

Black wrinkle on dual snorkel in 71.

3 digit date codes - first two are the week and third is last digit of the year.
Example: 131 = 13th week of 1971

If you want someone's attention then put an "@" in front of their name.
The board will message them.

Quite a few dual snorkle air cleaners were gloss black in 1971 including the 71 Challenger R/T I bought in 1979.

Is that choke and fuel pump correct?

The picture of the fuel pump look correct but you would have to make sure it has a 5/16" inlet. Some 440's and Hemi's use 3/8".
As for the choke, you would need to know the make and model number of the carb you have to insure you're getting the proper one.

5/16 inlet and 3/8 outlet?

Is the OEM carb a 4160?

Let me know about the air cleaner.

Skdmark

For a stock 383 you want a Carter M4589 fuel pump.
It has nipples on inlet and outlet for 5/16 line.

440-4 HP and 440-6 uses a Carter M4845 fuel pump which has the threaded oulet that goes to a fuel separator.
The one in your picture looks like a M4845.

Either pump will physically bolt up and work on a 383, just different operating pressures.

The OEM Holley Carb on a 71 383 is a 4160 series.

What I don't want to do is act without sufficient knowledge and replace correct parts. I saw the photograph and assumed I should have a threaded 3/8 line coming out of my fuel pump. I don't. I have a nipple on both inlet and outlet. Mine is a 71 383 and from what you're saying should have nipples on both? If that's the case it's not necessarily the wrong fuel pump.

If that is correct does a rubber line just come off the outlet at bottom of the fuel pump and bend upward to the fuel filter? As you can see a previous owner rigged a piece of bent steel line. The outlet comes out of the bottom and points at the ground. I'd love to see a picture of correct application with the 2 nipples.

It would appear than that the choke  is correct for my car.

So just to be clear the upper photo is not the correct set up for my 71 383 ?

anlauto

In my opinion the top picture is correct for a 1971 383, but where you're going wrong is with the 3/8".  ALL 383 fuel lines are 5/16" so the pump would have 5/16" nipple inlet and 5/16" threaded outlet.

I'm trying to sell my air cleaner locally to avoid the hassles of shipping. Here's my ad:

Ok, I see. The one pictured above is 3/8 out.

On the air cleaner how about $300 plus $25 for shipping?

Hook a brother up.  :)
