You have a Canadian engine - the "C' at the end - so it is not a 301. Canadian A block polys were 277, 303, 313 and 318. To decode your engine number, KV-33366C : K - 1957 model year V - V8 engine (the 6 was just "K") 33366 - 32,366nd engine built C - Canadian plant The "K" and "KV" prefixes were used on Canadian-built Plymouths (Plaza, Savoy, Belvedere) and Dodges (Crusader, Regent and Mayfair). Thus the engine is a 303. Early production units apparently had prefizes P30- (Plymouth 6), P31- (Plymouth V8), D64- (Dodge 6) and D65- (Dodge V8).

I HAVE INSTALLED A CLOCK THAT I PICKED UP OUT OF AN INSTRUMENT POD COMPLETE .I REMOVED THE CLOCK AN INSTALLED IN MY POD. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE RESET CABLE FOR THE CLOCK DOES NOT REACK THE HOLE IN THE UNDERSIDE OF THE DASH BELOW THE IGNITION SWITCH,THE CABLE IS ABOUTH 2 INCHES SHORT ASSUMMING THAT IT IS SUPPOSE TO FIT IN THAT HOLE IN THAT LOCATION. I HAVE A COULPE OF OTHER CLOCKS AND CABLES AND THEY ARE THE SAME LENGTH. I HAVE CHECKED THE PICTURES AND SALES BROCURES BUT CAN'T SEE ANY PICTURES OF THE CABLE UNDER THE DASH ,OR DO I HAVE TO DRILL A NEW HOLE SOME WHERE FOR THE CABLE.
