rebuild help /6
i find the slant (or any other engine) run much better with a mech cam than a hyd one... you will get better vacuum and a better running engine (if tuned correctly) than a hyd setup... and yea its just so hard to adjust valves three times a year or less depending on how tight your rockers are...
but i do prefer a mech cam to a hyd any day...
petronix is a good and easier upgrade to... agreed on the mopar junk... darn near everything with the mopar logo on it now is junk...
I, also, prefer a mechanical cam to hydraulic, particularly if you're going to be racing the car, because people who write articles with comparisons between the two, frequently point out that the hydraulic lifters have a tendency to bleed down during the duty cycle, resulting in loss of both lift AND effective duration, and lose power that way. With the excellent design of the '6 solid lifter setup, I see no need to even try a hydraulic cam for a comparison.
My 360 Magnum-powered (when normaly-aspirated) '72 Valiant ran an orange box for several years with no malfunctions. I was spinnning it 6 grand, with regularity... I put an MSD Boostmaster (which is an analog, non-multiple spark, adjustable advance unit) on it when I added the Vortech centrifugal V-1, S-trim blower, and it immediately fried an electronic part inside the Boostmaster module. Sent it back, they fixed it and have had no problems since. So, I can only give them a "C" for reliability.
Our /6 turbo car has an MSD 6-AL digital. We haven't had any experience with it, yet. If it proves unrelliable, I will SURELY let FABO members know!!!
This is all very subjective on my part, and of course, is just MY 2-cents...:tard:
