I like you thinking :) I figured that was what I would be in for. I guess I'll get to ordering. On the Weisco spec sheet it says I would get about 10.5:1 did you do anything else to lower compression, like a spacer?

Hi, I had a lot of fun reading this thread overtime and I don't want to hijack this thread but I need some help with my setup. This is my thread on the slant six forum: http://slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=55812&start=30 Long story short - I had an engine built about 4 years ago with...

Seems like this is an issue with slant sixs. http://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3562&sid=368ffbe0b3041983efeb22d03d014ca8 I cut open my filter and didn't see any fragments. Not going to drop the pan because the is way more work than I want to do. Going to and fish the piece out...

Hey guys. So as I said I was driving the Duster to work today. Everything was going great and while driving home I started hearing a loud ticking noise. I pulled over and realized the noise was coming from the dip stick area. I grabbed it and I could feel it vibrating along with the engine; when...

Been a while since I have done an update. I drove the car to work for the first time. I'm getting a considerable amount of noise from my fuel pump but it had always been like that. I also seem to have an issue with either my fuel injection computer or ignition computer sometimes that will...

I've been able to get the brakes working normally so tuning the car has been much easier haha. I adjusted a few features on the fuel map software which was causing the motor to stall out; it turned out being a decel feature for cutting the fuel which was by default set to 0 pulse width. The...

I spaced the master cylinder off the booster by a nut on each stud. It seemed to be a little too much but it made the brakes act completely normal now. Did I miss some other adjustment to make this happen or is this something people have to do? I guess my question now is if the push rod can be...

I didn't change the proportioning valve. I have an adjustable valve I'm not using but I thought that would be only for the rear drums pressure adjustment? 67DART273, I plan to go buy some thick gasket material so I can offset the master cylinder. After I find the offset distance I need from...

I tried adjusting the pushrod coming out of the booster so it would be shorter. This seemed to help some. When I was taking the master cylinder on and off the mounting studs I noticed the piston is actually compressing when I put the master cylinder on (I can see the fluid swirl). When I have...

I can check that sometime this week. The rubber hoses are new and so was the master cylinder. I also have a brake booster. Thanks for the ideas everybody.

They are the front discs locking. A few days ago I was messing around driving the car and I knew the brakes needed to be bled; they felt a little spongy but worked fine and didn't lock up. After bleeding the brakes today the brakes felt stiffer and after I tried driving the car the would lock up...

Hi everybody, I have been able to consistently work on my car little by little for the past 7 months or so in my apartments 1 car garage (I'm now officially claustrophobic =P). Thought I would post a few pics of things I'm doing right now and a few ideas of what I hope to do soon. To...

A few years ago I bought a front disc conversion kit from Mancini Racing and installed it prior to running with my rebuilt /6. At some point when initially running with the new motor the brakes seem to heat and stick while driving. The only way to relieve pressure was by cracking the lines open...

Does anyone know the people who run this business in Tampa Florida? I would like to seek employment possibly and in the future by own of the systems for my car.

Hey thanks but unfortunately I have to stay local because my fiance is going to grad school here for the next 3 years. If plans change I'll definitely contact you, thank you.
