In 1990, it ran perfect.  and worked well until 2011.  When I replaced the 383 with the 413, I was convinced to have the trans checked which later turned into a rebuilding project.  It worked fine when the 383 was pulled, but upon inspection there were a few parts that were worn and ready to fail (Sprag Pring Retainer).

I gave this guy the shop manual, but no one reads books these days, so I really don't know if it meets the original specs or not.
