A friend of mine has a 69 383 Road Runner that we are trying to bring back to life. The engine is turquoise. Is that right or wrong? Or is it because it has air conditioning? I don't know much about restorations. Thank you.

Yes, turquoise when the car had AC - had the 330-HP rating instead of 335. Yep with the main difference being the cam and valve springs , the 330HP engine has the 383-2bbl/440 350HP cam instead of the 440 375 HP cam
running up my post count some more .

It hadn't been started in 28 years. (I think it's the original engine.) At least we got it to turn over. But no fire. But we should be able to fix that. We'll keep working on it.

He also has a 70 Road Runner with a/c but the engine is orange. We are assuming that is correct.
