the third gear is the weakest gear, in a four speed trans, i knew a racer did his burnouts in 3 rd gear, kept breaking 3rd gear. we used a 1600 # b&b/long pressure plate in 340 car, had no problems breaking gears , with a series 300 disc. used in drag car. just food for thought

you can run the B&B/long clutch from mcloed, at 1800 base with a rag disc will work very well. friend had a1600 base one in his 360, ran low 12 sec, wirth slicks

we ran 23 spline for yearss, had the 3.09 ist gear, in a race car,, 5.57 gears, 340, duster, only prob was, broke a few gears at times, as they were old, we put lots of runs on it, it was proshifted, gear set. ran a 1400 # clutch, then went to a soft loc style. with 1400 # ran a series 300...

the 587 head does flow better, over the 915 head, best to install sst one piece valves, that helps flow and velocity. in stock, low comp 340 are as fast as, the higher comp 340's. just food for thought, i've found the 1.88 valve has more velocity over 2.02.

with dots at 12 crank and cam at 6, it's on # 6 tdc. # 1 overlap, both dots have to be at 12 clock then it's # 1 tdc, now can degree cam correctly,

i assume , when you degreed it, dots were at 12 and 12?? when they are together, you're on # 6 tdc. dots at 12 and 12 is # 1 tdc, then cam will degree correctly.

few years ago,i went to a flow seminar put on by superflow, harold bettes , vp of super flow conducted the 8 hour class. it was very informative class. he stated, that engine doesn't pull 28 " of vac, if it does, you are loosing power,, my bench is calibrated at 25 :, he also stated, that 20 ...
