I agree. Since your running quality fuel, have you looked into advancing the timing a bit. That may cure your starting and idle issues.

Myself and others have brought up the cam timing issue and i'm still leaning that way. Way back when i was in my teens and still learning, i did several ''dot to dot'' installs and not all, but most left something on the table. And yes, those all never hit the different converters as they...

Reminds me of the engine Steve Clukey ran several years back...

Doubt that intake was stored in CA unless it was on the beach. :)

And looks like the timing tab is cast on the pass side

If it's as nice as you say, that rear wouldn't stop me from buying it. The 7.25 weakest link was the spider gears when free spinning from water/ice and then grabbing hard. The sure grip axles were stronger then most think, but were rare and good ones are almost non existent these days.

You have some gear and the converter is decent enough for that cam, so what is your actual comp ratio and what intake are you running... P.S. Was the cam degreed in...

Lol :)

''OK, thanks all, so more stupidity on my part.....'' ------------------------------------------------------------------ Not even close... Your doing a great job makin' it right. Being anal about building things is a positive trait...Ask me how i know... :)

Steve, don't panic just yet. Imo, the rings don't fully seat until the've been under load, like several 4grand decel's in gear, and that can't be replicated on a run stand. Just 1 cyl is a concern thou. Wish i had a quick solution, but if i think of something i'll chime in.

First off, don't worry about the .700 lift numbers. I'd be concerned about the 104 cl vs a 2k cruise rpm. That said, keeping your current exhaust, i think you'd be plenty happy with 250ish at .050, low 600'' or so lift cut on a 110/112 cl. With cam availability these days, it may require a...

I'm assuming a mild build, so if the flat tops are stock and the compression is low, the Summit 6900 is my first choice for value. DODGE Summit Racing SUM-6900 Summit Racing™ Classic Camshafts | Summit Racing If by chance the pistons have a decent comp height, with a little more comp, this...

That sucks.
