66 Dart GT HT Whatsitgonnabe?
Ok, I just repeated my compression measurements and included the new Fel-Pro 8553PT gaskets Karl sent me. I bought a proper dial gauge and a magnetic foot a while back so this time I could actually get the piston exactly 2 mm i the hole. I also spent a little more time sealing the plate and piston-bore gap to avoid leaks.
This time around I got a compression ratio between 10.56:1 and 10:84:1.
I'm liking my car more and more. :D
I am, however, going to have to do something about this brake booster.
Now, my mopar performance valve covers might be a tad lower but the booster isn't even properly seated on the brackets in the picture. I think I would have to offset the booster by as much as 1/2" to make it work.
I'm sure I'm not the first to have this issue so there ought to be threads on the topic.
The rust inside is pretty visible in this pic, too.
