A couple years ago... there was a member over on Moparts, AndyF who did alot of dyno testing and found that the .528 cam made more hp/tq than any of the "modern" offerings with stock manifolds... i think it was in the neighborhood of 550 hp... if you do a few searches i bet it pops up...
727, im guessing you are running an automatic based on your screen name...
What stall speed converter are you running... or willing to run? If you are set on a stock converter run the .455 cam. If you are willing to get something that stalls about 3000 it opens up your options. The bigger...
I have them on my current project. 64 Savoy Wagon. 440 10.6:1 compression., Stealth heads with minor port work and a port match to the performer RPM intake, a Hughes mechanical cam and a holly 800. I bought the car with the engine built and installed. They seem to be OK for what they...
Not to hijack your thread but did your locksmith re-key your lock? The guy I went to on my 64 locks which look the same said it was sealed lock and could not be re-keyed.. is this true?
With a modified brake system with a different master it is the norm to have to fix this... not everyone just simply replaces with OEM parts. I have had to do this several times.
I remember seeing the early ones being carried by Pat Blais. I think he has an eBay store torque flight patty.... or something like that.... sorry I don't have more than that but I bet a google search would find it.
Does not look great!! Any idea how deep it is pitted? If you can safely deck the block enough to clean it up and still find a piston that will give you your desired compression ratio it probably can be saved... what is your intended build?
Even "relative" conditions can vary quite a bit. Just a 200 foot change in Density Altitude will change the et by a hundreth give or take depending on the car/combination..... I have several times been dialed a tenth different from day to day... barometer goes down.... humidity changes a...
Did you happen to record the weather conditions for each run? Without a reference of the atmospheric conditions the test is not too reliable. Need to account for temperature, humidity, barometer, and wind speed & direction.
Not trying to bust your balls here I think what you're doing is...
Let's not forget that in Stock eliminator trim these stock intake manifolds go very fast. There are no doubt better manifolds but the stock intakes are fine for alot of cars and the gains are really minimal with a pretty mild engine.
Tune it. To me putting a cat on it is just stupid...
I don't like an overly rich running engine either but I wouldn't try to fix it with a smog device. .... If that is the logic then how about an air pump, evap system and a lean burn distributor too....
Just tune the thing.
If you guys are worried about the smell maybe you should sell your mopar buy a Prius and get some air freshener trees..... I just can't understand this.... but to each his own....
Maybe I'm getting old and don't remember as well as I used to.... but Cat's didn't come out until the mid 70's.... even here in California. ... I really doubt you need them for emissions.... I k ow you would not need them in California where the smog laws are pretty strict.
You bought an old mopar.... bolt on is no longer an option. If you want bolt on go buy a chebby and go to pep boys.
This has been my experience for my entire life.
