U/SA thats why I have a 273
Back in the late 70s I had a girlfriend who bought a 68 383 R Runner from her aunt for $500. I used it to tow my car to the track sometimes, it was very quick I thought and had a 3.55 rear. The motor was untouched with old plugs, wires, exhaust, stock vacuum dist, AVS and air cleaner. I finally got it down the track one day for fun and it ran 14.20s with zero effort. Paul.
