Hello,

I am getting ready to collect all of the parts for a 1966 383 four barrel with A/C in a b-body and need pictures of anything you might have. Air cleaner, brackets, A/C compressor, etc. would be very helpful. I am going to attach a pic I found on google image search, but am not sure if it is showing the correct components.

edit: Scratch the pic, it is a '67. I didn't notice the dual reservoir master cylinder.

Thank you,

Jeremiah

Sorry that I don't have '66 pics to offer. Do you think '65 would be the same?

One source that might be useful is a '66 FSM or look for reprint articles from car magazines back then. The AC can be a bit tricky to find pics of....DAMHIK.

Thank you for the insight. I have access to a '66 Charger 318 car with A/C so hopefully it won't hurt too bad. I'm not sure if the 383 Four Barrel cars had snorkel air cleaners in 66 or not. We are starting from scratch so any info is very helpful. Did '66 383's have HP manifolds?

The 1966 383 4bbl had a small round air cleaner with no snorkles, simular to a 273 4bbl. The exhaust manifolds were log style, no HP exhaust on a 383 B-body until 1968. The engine brackets and pullies were the same on B and C bodies in that same models year. Major change in the engine brackets and pullies in 1969. The 1966 & 1967 B-body underhood air should be real close to the same if not the same, I'm not 100% sure on that, certainly others will correct this if wrong.

Thank you for your insight. I am still trying to locate pictures of a correct 383 4-barrel A/C setup if anyone come across any reference photo's.

It's not a 4bbl and it's not a '66, but here are pics of the brackets that support the factory AC compressor on a 2bbl 361 '65 Satellite. Just to get you started?

Just in case you need a plan B, I can take all the photos you need of a 67 configured like you describe. Good luck!


Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way

Does this look like a '66 big block A/C air cleaner?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/300661011748?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

It looks very similar to the one on my friend's '66 361 in his Charger (very original car).

Mr. P thank you for the offer!

Even if there isn't one part that is the same I'm thankful you posted that picture. That thing is beautiful!!! I can't wait to get the ford blue 440 out of this car. Hopefully it turns out half as nice as your '65.

Here is my old 66 Charger with 383 4 bl and A/C. That same bracket was used thru 68.

Thank you for the pic!

Let's talk valve covers. For the passenger's side I would guess that the bracket for the heater hoses (utilizing the tall A/C style sheet metal clip) and PCV grommet hole would be correct. On the driver's side the tube for the (black) painted breather would be the only thing preset.

I'm sorry to be beating this to death, but with most of the board's attention on non-car related threads I'm still trying. To those of you helping me along, thank you again.
