Found it.

Weight #3224 lbs.
The 67' 383 cars were only available with a 3.23 Sure-Grip Posi Rear.
The only way to get steeper gears was to order the optional

Not too many people knew about that one.
*Equipped with a 1 1/8" piston size for the rear shock, and self-leveling
spring adjusted (ie; Monroe-Matic) shocks.
*Some say an additional short leaf spring was added (a 7-leaf rear spring). Others say, a short 16" helper spring was added under the
back section of the 6-leaf rear spring.
* A "B & M" shift improver kit was installed in the valve body, and
heavier spring ? for the 2nd to 3rd up-shift.
