I’m sitting at my in laws house with my two year old and one month old. Dreaming about even touching a wrench. My cars been neglected for 4 years.

I got my Dart when I was 15. I’m 35 now FYI. It has a slant six in it and my dad said I could put a V8 in it when I turned 18. We went 90+ with that old slant six but it wouldn’t spin a tire unless it was wet. But once I got in it with the 360 I was much more wreckless. With that being said...

Trying to hit all the hot topics in this post lol. Pete would have been in the hall of fame the year after his death if it wasn’t for the underage stuff.

Joe speaks highly of your Dart.

I got it sorted out but I appreciate it.

Fuel in oil did this.

Dynamic and Ultimate converters are recommended on here a ton. I went Dynamic.

I had a cheap converter that I ordered through a jegs catalog for many years. My cam had similar lift as yours and I think it was a 3000 rpm converter. It served me well and I had no issues with it. Then I decided to give Dynamic converters a call. Gave them every detail about the car...

Thanks fellas

Any ideas on where to start cold? Obviously the builder did it before the dyno runs and I’ve been running it for a couple years now. Don’t hear any excessive noise but figured it would be good to get this sorted out so I can check it more often.

Lifters are locked into place. I could see the issue of running hydraulic lifters on a solid grind cam but it seems a bit better to be vice versa.

Got mine from Dynamic and have been very happy with it.

The engine builder I used installed solid rollers on a hydraulic roller cam. I’ve done some digging on the forum and realized this is not unheard of. Where I am a bit lost is where to set the lash cold before getting it dialed in. Some details below: 360 .30 over Edlebrock aluminum heads 273...

Yea, grandma must have put some aftermarket wheel covers on it. Another dumb question but will those covers go over any wheel as long as it’s the same size?

Didn’t realize that. Similar to the whole magazine v clip thing in the gun world.
