I'm not saying that this book is the mopar holy gail, but it is one of the most comprehensive of the very few B-body restoration books available, and has had an influence on most factory restorations completed since its publishing.

The book also says on page 23,

"A few 383/335hp V-8's were painted turquoise when equipped with air conditioning."

Again on page 29,

"Note that some 1969 and 1970 383s in
air-conditioned Super Bees and Road Runners were painted Turquoise."

On page 40 (picture caption)

"Cars sold in California in 1969 used a dual snorkel air cleaner with the high performance 383ci and 440ci powerplants."



YOU ARE KIDDING, RIGHT??

None that I've had any part in. Was warned against it many moons ago & if your examples are proof of how good it is, then the warning was well deserved.

If you have been following this thread, you can see that the 383HP/335hp engine with A/C is mythical. Please provide proof that this combo existed in '68 and/or '69.

1969 - all SB and RR with A/C were turquois & 1970 - all SB and RR with A/C were orange.
(exceptions would be "factory mistakes" & not the norm, proof would be the responsibility of the owner/restorer)

Poor choice of wording or taken out of context.
All '70 model year b-bodies w/single 4bbl carb. w/o a fresh air hood (N96) sold in California during Sept. - Dec '69 had a dual snorkel air cleaner.
