After the carb swap, I now feel like I can really rev the 383. I remember from years ago the MP books saying the bottom end would do 6200. I don't think the stock HP cam will get anywhere near that.
I let it go to only 5K on the test runs, but I'm already day dreaming about the spring and really letting it go. The AVS just didn't like to pull over 5200, but of course it was much smaller, 650 or less compared to a 750 now.
5200 may be all it has in it since the valvetrain is 40 years old. New chain.
