On the 383 Dodge , # 1 on the distributor cap faces to the front and slightly towards the passenger side
the 440 has much more power but the 383 is louder the 440 is harder to find
I believe that faces towards the front and towards the passenger side ( same as the 383 , 400 , 426 Hemi , and 440 )

If you have a 361 the 383 heads will work, but they won't work on a 318.
Since a 1998 truck was not available with a 383 you would have modify a trans that bolts up to a 383 to fit the truck.
