I tried to find this information a few years ago and failed.

How far down the cylinder should the piston be? 

It is my understnading that all 383 B blocks that year were the same CR, 10:1 +/-, so aswers should be fairly consistant- I think.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ray

measure to deck height . then adjust piston height from there with the end being as stated ------------------------------------------------------later

60 dart and 57chizler,

Thanks guys. I was worried because several local people hand mentioned that the piston should be flush with the deck. In addition, I was getting answers all over the spectrum. 

I am measuring approximately .044, so I guess I'm good.

 

Thanks,

Ray

The only 383's that had the piston near flush the deck were the '68 and '69 HP
