A very interesting and worthwhile thread! Busy & longwinded, but doesn't ramble; asks for help, proof and answers. What's the problem? If some members would rather talk about the neighbor's sheep with AIDS there's the GENERAL forum.

The only way you'll ever know what your trying to find out is to have all the broadcast sheets for all the cars in question - not gonna happen.
383 manual - E & B-body - w/o ECS ... orange HP engine 335hp engine on b'cast 084 wA/C & 087 ---------- Holley R4367-A ----------part number 3418 536 (on b'cast 36)
I believe the first engine listed (084) will be an orange HP - HOLLEY 383, as there are NO '70 Carter manual trans 4bbl 383s, and a few b'cast sheets with examples of each combination would confirm or contradict the current belief or mis-understanding often associated with 383s A/C & HP.
Although the 383 4bbl 3-speed manual seems odd to be all HP (HOLLEY/orange), with few exceptions (some Chargers/Sport Satellites sleepers/insurance beaters etc.) it will only be found in 'Cuda, Challenger R/T, Super Bee & Road Runner. The new "cheaper" for 1970 base musclecars.
